Dear all,

God is our shelter. May He strength you and help you.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

神是我們的避難所，願祂堅固您、幫助您。

Tidying up my parents’ summer house and reorganizing the yard, I have been staying in the country side for a month. Thank you for your prayers. All the helpers and I have been working safely. And because I need to travel very often up and down, I have got to be able to drive. A month ago, I had difficulty figuring out plants and weeds. Now I am able to do the weeding work. All the tasks seem to be heavy duty to me and at times my backache makes it very hard for me to walk. I am glad that God gives me chance to be a more responsible daughter. I should have been more alert that my old parents needed help.

我住在鄉下為父母整頓鄉間農舍及庭院已經一個月了。感謝您的代禱，我和來幫工的家庭一直安全施工。又由於必須頻繁往返鄉間與市區，我變得會開車了。一個月以前，我還分不清野草與盆栽，現在已經會除草。所有的鄉間活兒對我來說都是粗重差事，有好幾次我的腰痛到寸步難移。然而，我真是感謝神給我機會盡一些當女兒的責任，我實在早就應該發現年邁的父母需要這方面的幫忙。

God has been teaching me good lessons through the garden work. I realize how quickly plants can be tangled by weeds crawling on them and lose their strength to grow and how easily roots of weeds can break brick walls. Without God’s weeding, our garden of life shall end up being filled up by crawling weeds. I should humble down and allow God to weed my life in all aspects and shouldn’t let anything clutter my relationship with God.

神也透過庭園的工作教導我寶貴的功課。不用幾天工夫，盆栽就會被蔓爬的野草纏住而失去成長的力量。野草的跟也會很快穿破磚牆。若沒有神給我們的生命除草，我們生命的園子一定雜蔓叢生。我應該謙卑下來好好讓神在我生命的各方面除去雜草，不應該讓任何事物阻擋我與神的關係暢通。

It seems that Kellen and I have to slow down and we won’t be able to step on our mission field in recent months though we have to keep paying the rent for the flat in PNG. For now, we are working on the application of our work permit in PNG. Besides, we are accepting more trainings to sharpen our skills for our ministry.

儘管Kellen和我必須持續給付我們在新幾內亞的房租，看來我們必須放慢腳步，這幾個月都不能踏上禾場。現在我們正在申請工作簽證，並且利用這空檔多受訓練，加強禾場所需的技能。

Please keep participating in our ministry through your prayers.

1. May God bless the work on tiding up my parents’ houses and the big yard and protect us from all danger.

2. May God give us wisdom with the work of connection and communication.

3. May God show us way to applying for long term visa in PNG.

4. May God inspire more churches and Christian individuals to become our partners and give us enough monthly support.

敬邀您繼續以代禱與我們同行。

一、 求神保守Sandy為年邁雙親的住家及庭園進行整理整頓，保護我們大家遠離危險。

二、 求神給我們智慧，做好聯結與溝通的工作。

三、 求神指引我們申請新幾內亞長期簽證，保守所有程序的溝通。

四、 願神似給我們更多教會及基督徒個人成為我們的夥伴，給與我們足夠的月定支持。

Thank you for being our partners

感謝您以代禱與我們同工同行

主內末肢

Sandy
