Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. My mother is fitting in the day care center well. And my father is trying his best not to bother me too much, hoping I will be able to take a break. Last week, after the mission camp, I went to the forest next to the lake and had some quiet time. This week, I spent a lot of time in bed. Now I am not feeling dizzy anymore.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心的代禱。我媽媽在日照中心算是適應良好。而我爸爸盡量不要太打擾我，希望我能好好喘息一陣子。上星期在宣教營結束後，我到湖邊的森林散步讓自己安靜一下。這星期也有長時間的臥床。現在我不再感到頭暈。

Thanks to the Lord that the CMMI cross-cultural mission camp took place on line last week. More than 350 participants signed up for the camp. Praise the Lord. This was far more than we had expected. As it was a global on-line workshop, many participants had to scarify their sleep for this mission camp. Even though we all spoke Chinese, we bore different cultures. As a cross-cultural missionary, I learned a lot from it in delivering messages according to background of audience.

華動(國際華人動員宣教協會)所舉辦的跨文化宣教營上星期如期舉行。我們有三百五十多個學員。感謝主，這是遠超過我們預期的人數。這是一個全球性的線上營會，所以很多學員必須犧牲他們的睡眠來參加。即使我們都講中文，我們的文化都不盡相同。作為一位跨文化宣教士，我也從中學習到如何按著受眾的文化背景來調整訊息的傳達方式。

As Kellen and I are planning to go to PNG in the end of February 2021, it is taking us a lot of effort to find the route. Because of the pandemic, some cities we thought of transfer at now considered red alert by PNG. According to the regulations, we are going to be quarantined in both the country we transfer at and the capital of PNG. In PNG we will have to pay around 2700USD each for the disease prevention guest house. Someone said to me that it is a lot to pay. But considering what Jesus has paid for us, we can never pay enough, can we?

由於我和Kellen是計劃2021年二月到新幾內亞，最近費很多時間在尋找可行路線。由於疫情因素，許多我們考慮轉機的國家，目前都被新幾內亞政府列為紅色警戒區域。再者，根據法規，我們在轉機地要先隔離一次，在新幾內亞首都再隔離一次。單單在新幾內亞的隔離旅館費用就是每人台幣八萬元。有人對我說，那真是付上很大的代價。然而，比起耶穌基督對我們所付出的代價，我們怎麼付上都不嫌太多，不是嗎？

Please remember us in your prayers.

敬請在禱告中記念我們：

1. We are planning to go to PNG in the end of February 2021. May God guide us and make our road to PNG.

我們計劃2021年二月到新幾內亞。求神引導我們，為我們開路到PNG。

2. We need more churches, praying groups and individuals to be our long-term partners, participating in prayers and financial supports. May God provide for us.

我們需要更多教會、禱告團體及個人，在禱告及財務支持上成為我們的長期夥伴。求神預備。

3. Next Wednesday, we are going to have my students in the low-performance class visit our church. And Pastor Yia-Hui is getting the activities ready. May God work among us.

下星期三我們將要帶我所任教的補救教學學生到教會參觀。雅惠牧師要準備節目。願神在我們當中運行。

4. Next Thursday, I am going to give a talk in a church youth group in Ping-Tong. May God prepare everyone’s heart.

下星期四我將在屏東一所教會的青年團契分享。願神預備每個人的心志。

5. Next month, I am going to conduct a week-end Bible story workshop in Fong-Shan. May God bless us.

下個月我將要在鳳山主領周末聖經故事研習工作坊。求神賜福。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
