Dear all,

How are you doing? May our Lord restore your soul. He is our Great Shepherd!

各位代禱者，收信平安！

願我們的主使您靈魂甦醒。祂是我們的大牧者！

Thank you for praying faithfully. My cough is getting much better. But not being strong enough to be able to stay long hour in a confined space I won’t attend the sewing class in May and June. Anyway, I need to do a lot of practice of what I have learned by myself.

感謝您持續第代禱，我的咳嗽已經改善很多。然而，由於體力不足以長時間待在密閉空間，五月份和六月份的密集裁縫課我不能參加了。也好，我實在也應該花很多時間好好練習我學過的技術。

If my trip to PNG on Feb. 11 had not been canceled, it would now be the time for Kellen and me to start to enclose our ministry and to lay out for our next trip. During the past 2 and a half months, I have had a lot of dialogues with God, most of time letting God guide my thinking. As reading the story of Abraham, I enjoy the time God invites me to observe the stars in the sky too. As Abraham had his up-and-downs and couldn’t understand how God could give him a son through a barren wife, God invited him to observe the stars and promised him to be the father of a big nation. I am such a weak vessel and the path to serve in PNG has been full of obstacles though I have worked hard on it for 9 years and my head is turning greyer and greyer. Perhaps you are also feeling stocked by the outbreak of the plague. Come on, let’s all be invited by God to observe the stars and focus on His unfailing love and promises. That will make us keep going with His calling.

假如我二月11日能如計劃去新幾內亞的話，到這個時候，我和Kellen應該正在為這趟的服事收尾，並且正在為下一趟到新幾內亞的服事布局。過去這兩個半月來，我和神之間有很多很多對話，卻也大部分時間隨由神引導我的思緒。最近都在讀亞伯拉罕的故事，我也讓神邀請我一起去看星星。亞伯拉罕的人生路途有成功也有失敗，即使在他還無法想像上帝要如何使他透過不孕的妻子得到一個兒子的時候，神邀請他一起看星星，並應許他的子孫要成為大國。我也感到自己是個軟弱的器皿，雖然努力了九年，從黑髮到白頭，在新幾內亞服事的道路還是充滿層層關卡。或許您也因為這些日子以來的疫情而感到困頓---讓我們一起隨神去看星星吧！專心仰望祂永不止息的愛與永不落空的應許。持守神在我們生命中的命定及呼召。

Please continue participating in our ministry through your prayers.

1. In PNG, 8 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported. May God grant wisdom to the government and enable appropriate policies to be taken.

2. I am supposed to give a speech in an ex-offenders’ shelter on May 2^nd. May God give me His Divine Guidance.

3. May God be in control of the process of our work permit application in PNG.

4. May God comfort my parents and give them strength to face their stage of aging.

敬請持續以您的禱告與我們同工：

一、 新幾內亞目前有8個新冠肺炎確診病例。願神賞賜給政府有智慧採取適當措施。

二、 五月二日，Sandy將前往一處更生人庇護機構發表演說，願神給我充足的智慧。

三、 願神在我們申請新幾內亞工作許可簽證的程序中掌權。

四、 求神安慰我的父母，賜給他們力量以面對他們此時老化的階段。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
