Dear all,
Thank you for walking along the path with me. You might wonder how come I am able to write my updates so frequently since I am fully occupied. Well, actually I cannot afford not to ask you to work with me through your prayer. The more I am involved in God’s mission, the deeper relationship I need with God and with His people as we are fighting spiritual battles.
親愛的代禱勇士，收信平安。
感謝您與我們同行。您可能在想，我為甚麼那麼忙碌還能抽出時間常常寫代禱信。事實上，我不能缺少您的代禱。我們打的是屬靈爭戰，越是深入服事就越需要與神和神的百姓有深入的關係。
Since I wrote to you last week, I have got much better from the tightness on my chest. And last weekend with very short notice of request, I even finished writing an article with 3500 words in one night. That was an article on the difficulties and opportunities of cultivating Chinese missionaries in Taiwan. As I was writing it, God strongly inspired me to tell the readers that the requirement of sending missionaries is not the size or the wealth of the church, but the power of the Holy Spirit. And we all have to seriously recognize what “church” actually means according to what the Bible says, so that we are not going to be misled by the world and run for the wrong trophy.
自從上次寫代禱信給各位，我的胸悶就開始改善很多。上個周末，我被臨時邀請交一篇三千五百字的文稿。構思了兩天之後，坐在桌前一個晚上就寫好了。這篇文章事有關於台灣華人宣教士養成的難題及轉機。神強烈感動我傳達的信息是，差派宣教士的條件是聖靈的大能，而不是教會的規模，也不是教會的財務寬裕。我們都必須回到聖經的教導，好好認知「教會」的真義。這樣，我們才不會被這個世界誤導，往著錯誤的標竿直跑。
After writing the article, I was very much encouraged by God and became more grateful for what I have been through over the years and appreciate all the pastors who stick with the teaching of the Bible.
寫了這篇文章，我深深被神激勵，為這幾年來的經歷感謝神，也更加感激專心持守聖經教導的牧者們。
These days I have spent a lot of time sharing the duty of taking care of my mother. It was God that allowed me to see the hope when I am very concerned for my old parents. God shows me that even at very old age, my parents can be guided to change the way of dealing with each other. So, I am taking more effort to help them re-discover each other rather than trying to sort out all their problems.
最近我還是忙著分擔照顧媽媽的工作。神讓我在為年邁父母操勞的時候仍然有盼望。祂讓我了解，父母雖然老邁，藉由適當引導，他們仍然可以改變相處的模式。所以我不是總是努力解決父母所有的問題，而是多花點時間幫助他們重新認識自己的老伴。
It’s coming to the end of November. And start on December 2nd, I am going to have a very busy month because of my attending an intensive sewing class. Please pray for my health and time management.
現在已經十一月底了，從十二月二日開始，由於一整參加一個密集的裁縫課，Sandy一整個月將會十分忙碌。請為我的健康及時間管理禱告。
Recently, it seems God has been extending Kellen’s mission scope and giving her deeper insight of our ministry than before. I found her much more creative than before. Please pray that I know how to better support her as she is going to take more responsibility.
近來，我們可以看出神正在擴張Kellen的境界，使她在我們的呼召上有更深的洞見。她也比以往更有創意。請為我和她之間可能的角色調換禱告，求神使我在她承擔更多責任時，知道如何給她支持。
Thank you for being our partners.
感謝您成為我們的夥伴
God bless with all the best
願神大大賜福給各位
Sandy
