Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. Through interceding by many people and six different therapies provided by six sisters in the Lord, my cough is very much better now and I am no longer feeling weak. It’s God’s hand doing His work and making me learn something. Six of the therapies working together enable me to get better day after day. Thanks to the Lord and thanks to the six sisters for their love in Christ. I am like the paralyzed man mentioned in Mark 2:1-12. He was carried by four of his friends with faith to Jesus and got healed. And I am carried by six and more. Praise the Lord.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。經由多人的代禱以及六位主內姊妹提供的六個不同的療法，我的咳嗽好很多了，而且不再感到虛弱。這是上帝的手在工作，也讓我學習一些功課。六個療法同時使用才讓我朝著康復的方向發展。感謝主，也感謝六位姊妹在基督裡的愛心。我就像馬可福音第二章中所記載的那個癱子。他被四個憑著信心的朋友抬去見耶穌而得到痊癒。而我是被六個加上很多很多人抬著的。讚美主。

My dad temporally passed the eye sight test with the aid of astigmatism lances. But he has to have a cat eye operation and get well in three months, or he will lose his driver’s license. Even when he failed the eye sight test, he didn’t believe that he had poor eye sight as he didn’t have any problems with driving or in seeing anything. He didn’t think that he need the aid of the lances until I brought him to the optometrist and had his lances made. Many Christians are in the same situation, aren’t we? At times we think we are fine once we are “saved” and “blessed”, and pursue what we feel good with instead of what please God. We don’t really know we need the “lances” of the Bible and the Holy Spirit until we wear them every day.

我父親戴上散光眼鏡之後，暫時通過視力測驗。但是他必須在三個月內完成白內障開刀並痊癒，否則他的駕照會被吊銷。爸爸即使他視力測驗不通過時，還是不相信他的視力不好。他一直說他開車跟看東西都沒問題呀！一直到我帶他去眼鏡行為他配了眼鏡，他才相信自己需要戴眼鏡。(想不到可以看得這麼清楚呀！)---很多基督徒的生命也在相同的光景中，不是嗎？我們常常以為我們好得很，因為我們得救了，也很蒙福。我們追求自我感覺良好，而不是追求討主喜悅。除非我們藉著每天的靈修被聖經扎心、被聖靈光照，否則我們不會真正發現我們需要每天靈修----戴上聖經與聖靈的眼鏡。

Thank you for working with us through your prayers. Bearing her pain on the shoulders and back, Kellen has finished establishing our new website. Sorry that it’s in Chinese but you are welcome to browse it with this link. This letter is presented to you on our new website too. But my part of work is not as professional as Kellen’s. And I still have to a lot of work to do with posting my previous updates.

感謝您以代禱與我們同工。儘管必須忍著肩頸與腰部的疼痛，Kellen 已經完成建置我們新的網站。歡迎您按此瀏覽。這封信就是透過我們新的網站呈現。但是我的部分就沒Kellen建置的部分那麼專業。而且我還有很多舊的代禱信還沒貼過來。

Please remember us in your prayers.

敬請在禱告中記念我們：

1. Because of the traditional belief in PNG, deaths caused by unknown diseases are considered to be attributed to sorceries, especially in the rural areas. May God enable people in PNG face the pandemic of COVID-19 with wisdom.
基於新幾內亞的傳統信仰，不明原因的死亡常常被認為是有人行巫術所致。尤其是在落後的地區。求神使新幾內亞的國民能夠有智慧來面對新冠肺炎的疫情。

2. May God show His mercy and cure the pain on kellen’s knack and her back that is bothering her a lot.
求神施憐憫醫治Kellen肩頸及腰部的疼痛。

3. I am still suffering from periodontal disease and hope it can be cured before I take off for PNG. May God’s healings dwell upon me.
我的牙周病還沒好，但願在我到新幾內亞之前能夠痊癒。願神賜下醫治。

4. May God continue healing my cough.
求神繼續醫治我的咳嗽。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
