Dear all,

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. God have allowed us to promote Bible-story telling in Tainan and in Kaohsiung. We have scheduled some events that are to take place in October and November.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安！

感謝您忠心的代禱。神讓我們有機會在台南和高雄推廣聖經故事。我們已經排定一些十月份和十一月份的活動。

This is the second time for me to conduct the Art Therapy program in my church. The participants are much more confident than they were last time. This is very encouraging to me.

這是我第二次在我們教會帶領藝術療癒活動。學員們比第一次有信心多了。這帶給我很大的鼓勵。

Concerning the math classes that is another outreaching project of my church, I had been told that the classes I was going to teach with would have been very wild. Praise the Lord that my first week have been going smoothly and the students are very nice to me.

至於教會另一個外展事工的服事，原本學校的老師告訴我，我要教的數學班級會很失控。感謝主，我的第一週課程進行得很順利，而且學生們都對我很好。

As I have been busy as a bee, some other challenge is approaching: the doctor is scheduling a 12-week-long electrotherapy for my dad’s prostate cancer. Well, my dad is 82 and he has been the main caregiver of my mom who is a patient of MCI. My brother and I need to figure out what to do next. Especially my dad is under too much pressure. As I am a missionary, he has been struggled letting me know about his needs. I didn’t realized until last month that he was robbed 2 years ago and had decided not to have any ATM cards since then.

在非常忙碌之際，新的挑戰即將到來。醫師正在為我爸爸的攝護腺癌安排12週的電療。這一年多來，母親罹患輕度認知功能障礙，82歲的爸爸是媽媽的主要照顧者。我和我弟弟要好好想想接下來要怎麼安排。爸爸的壓力特別大。由於我是宣教士，他常常掙扎著要不要把他的需要告訴我。兩年前他被搶劫，一直都沒讓我知道。上個月我發現他有好一陣子不用提款卡，才知道他因為被搶劫過而不敢持有提款卡了。

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus--- Philippians 4:6, 7

應當一無罣慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，帶著感謝，將你們所要的告訴神；神那超越人所能理解的平安，必在基督耶穌裡，保衛你們的心懷意念。 (腓立比書四 6-7)

Please participate in cross-cultural mission through your prayers:

1. May God be in control of the epidemic of COVID-19 in PNG. The latest number of confirmed cases in PNG is 516. Last week it was 503.

2. May God use the workshops and lectures we provide to bless churches in Taiwan.

3. May God grant His Divine Wisdom to us and bless our study.

4. May God grant His divine healing and protection to Kellen’s old mother and my old parents.

5. May God be in control of the process of our working visa application in PNG.

敬請持續以您的禱告參與跨文化宣教：

一、 願神掌管新冠肺炎在新幾內亞的疫情。最新得到的確診人數是516，上星期是503。

二、 願神使用我們提供的工作坊及講座，成為台灣眾教會的祝福。

三、 願神賞賜給我們屬天的智慧，保守我們在課程中的學習。

四、 願神對Kellen年邁的母親及我年邁的父母賞賜祂屬天的醫治跟保護。

五、 願神在我們申請新幾內亞工作簽證的程序中掌權。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
