Thank you for faithfully praying for us. Receiving our PNG working visas, we are grateful for God's mercy and for the love in faith from Tian-En Tang, the Chinese Methodist Church in PNG. Hopefully, after we work on the gospel center in Wewak for a couple of years, we will be able to have other Chinese missionaries to join us.

感謝您忠心第代禱,我們終於收到我們的新幾內亞工作簽證了!感謝神的憐憫,也感謝新幾內亞衛理公會華人教會天恩堂發自信心的愛心扶持。我們期盼將來在威瓦克發展福音中心兩年後,可以接納其他華人宣教士陸續加入我們。

Meanwhile, I am facing great challenges with my old parents. Realizing the way senior people think can be so out of my imagination, I have been praying to God to make my parents willing to adopt the "reasonable" changes in life, such as wearing diapers, using walking sticks, and accept some social services the government provide for senior people that are supposed to be able to greatly reduce the pressure for my family. Eventually, God would like to make me a wiser person with more patience instead of making my parents willing to change. I trust that God's provision is always sufficient.

此時我正面臨照料父母的許多挑戰。 老年人的思維大可能超乎我能想像的範圍,我一直在向神禱告,希望神使我的父母願意調整一下,順應老年生活許多「合理」的改變,像是穿尿褲、拿拐杖、接受政府的長照2.0的多種福利,好大量減少家庭的負擔。後來,神不是要使我的父母改變什麼,而是要使我成為更有智慧、更有耐心的人。我也深信神的恩典夠我用。

Today l am writing this letter in the hospital as I'm accompanying my dad to go through several exams and visit two clinics. We have rush here and there in the hospital like playing Scavenger hunt.

今天我陪爸爸就醫花很多時間,所以這封信是在醫院裏寫的。陪著爸爸看兩個門診,又做很多檢查。在醫院的不同樓層來來去去,好像在玩闖關遊戲。只是這對年老的爸爸而言,應該很辛苦吧!

Please keep remembering us in your prayers.

敬請持續在禱告中記念我們:

1. Kellen and I need God's Divine Wisdom to balance our life with getting equipped, church ministries, raising fund and sending base's events. May God cover us.

我和 Kellen 需要神屬天的智慧才能在接受裝備、教會服事、募款及差會事務當中找到平衡。願神蔭蔽我們。

2. It demands me great effort for emotion management to negotiate with my parents about their caring arrangements. May God reveal His mercy.

我需要做好情緒管理才能好好跟父母商討如何安排他們的照顧方式。願神彰顯祂的憐憫。

3. Kellen is taking the carpentry class and I am taking the sewing class. May God grant us the needed strength.

Kellen 每週上木工課,Sandy上縫紉課,求神添加我們力量。


All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
