Dear all,

How are you doing? May God’s divine guidance be with you and His mercy cover you.

Thank you very much for being our partners. God is so merciful that He listens and He works at all time. This morning I was informed that the registration of PNGMM (PNG Mission Mobilization) had been approved. My grateful tears came out because of the faithfulness of God and very much effort of Tian-En-Tang, Chinese Methodist Church in PNG.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

願神時時引導您，祂的憐憫覆庇您。

非常感謝您與我們同行。憐憫的神總是垂聽我們的呼求，祂也總是在凡事上親自運行。今天早上我收到消息，得知PNGMM(新幾內亞華人動員宣教協會)立案已經獲准了。這真是令人噴淚的好消息，感謝神的信實以及新幾內亞華人衛理公會天恩堂諸多的努力奔走。

PNGMM is for setting up the platform for all Chinese Christians to work on cross-cultural mission in PNG. It’s God’s perfect timing. In the recent months, a new available route from Taiwan to PNG that is much cheaper than our original route just started. Our next trip to PNG is on February 11. We will try this new trip. And hopefully for the second trip of 2020, we can enter PNG with the work visa.

PNGMM的設立宗旨是要建立華人基督徒在新幾內亞跨文化宣教的服事平台。這也是神所定美好的時間點，近幾個月來，開始出現一個我們適用的台灣到新幾內亞的航線，價格比我們過去的航線便宜很多。我們預計明年二月十一日再到新幾內亞時就試試這個新航線。但願我們2020年的第二趟，就可以使用工作簽證進入新幾內亞。

God has used our booklets to reach people in the sewing class I attend too. This week I have got some feedback from a lady who has left God for decades. Before my identity of a missionary had made me very distant from my classmates for the fact that my world is too hard for them to comprehend. Now the booklets draw my world nearer to what they can imagine.

神也已經使用我們的事工見證小書接觸我在裁縫班的同學。這個星期有一個遠離神數十年的女士開始有回應。之前我的宣教士身分使我跟同學們很有距離，因為宣教士的世界對他們而言太難理解。現在，這本小書縮短了我與他們想像空間的距離。

As what my last letter said, this month I will be packed with intensive sewing class. Actually, on Monday it was my first time to have a sewing teacher who was very hot tempered and I didn’t understand some of his wordings. Because of God’s mercy, praying very hard in my heart while the teacher blew-up, I could catch all his main unique ideas on graphing that were really excellent and had been the result of his born-with talent and hard work of many years.

如同上封信所言，這個月因為上密集的縫紉課，我的時間非常卡緊。一個月才剛開始，星期一我就首次遇到脾氣火爆的老師，而且我聽不懂他某些用語。因著神的憐憫，每當他脾氣暴發的時候，我在心中暗暗禱告，就可以掌握這位老師在服裝製圖打版的許多獨到之處。這些很棒的概念都是老師天賦異稟以及多年努力鑽研的結晶。

We need you to walk with us on the journey. Please remember us in your prayer.

1. May God guide us in arranging our trip to PNG in Feb. 2020.

2. May God guide us to get to understand the process of applying for work permit.

3. May God grant us with partnership and long-term support from churches and Christian individuals.

4. May God strengthen me for my delivering messages on the coming Sunday and Monday.

5. May God bless me with learning and the time management in this extremely busy month.

6. May God continue using our booklets to reach unbelievers in my sewing classes I attend.

在宣教的路上我們需要您一路同行，敬請您代禱告中記念我們：

1. 求神引導我們安排2020年二月到新幾內亞的旅程。

2. 求神引導我們一步步了解工作簽證的申請流程。

3. 求神預備，使我們與各教會及基督徒個人有長期的支援夥伴關係。

4. 求神保守我在接下來主日崇拜及星期一團契的信息分享。

5. 求神恩待我在這個極度忙碌的月份有好的學習及時間管理。

6. 求神繼續使用我們的事工見證小書觸摸裁縫課的同學們。

All for Him Who loves us so much

願愛我們的神得榮耀

主內末肢

Sandy
