Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. I am well enough to live a normal life and start to gradually make up the sewing classes that I missed 2 months ago.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。我的身體已經復元到可以正常生活，也開始把兩個月前缺席的裁縫課慢慢補起來。

September 16^th is the PNG Independence Anniversary. It is now the time people wear the PNG flag, the stores are decorated with leaves and balloons, and the store staff are wearing jungle costumes. It is the happiest month of the year in PNG.

九月16日是新幾內亞的獨立紀念日。此時在新幾內亞，大家應該是穿著國旗衣，商店也都有樹葉與氣球作為裝飾，店員們穿著傳統叢林裝應景。這是新幾內亞一整年當中最充滿歡樂氣氛的月份。

It seems that the medical exams and treatments Kellen and I have received this year can’t go any further so far. Now we would like to start again finding out our way to go back to PNG while we are waiting for the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. And we expect that our ministry will be even more challenging than before as everything can cost a lot more or even double, and there is a huge gap between PNG and Taiwan concerning epidemic prevention concept. But we believe that God will certainly turn the huge gap into our opportunity for serving better in PNG.

目前看來，我和Kellen今年接受的健康檢查和醫療不會再有什麼進展。現在我們在等待第二劑新冠肺炎疫苗的同時，要重新開始探索回新幾內亞服事之路。基於物價飛漲甚至是翻倍，以及兩地之間防疫觀念的鴻溝，我們可以預期事工將會比以前更有挑戰。然而，我們也相信，鴻溝在上帝手中可以變成我們在新幾內亞服事的更佳機會。

Please remember us in your prayers.

敬請在禱告中記念我們：

1. As the PNG Independence Anniversary is approaching, let’s pray harder for the public security in PNG. May God be in charge.
新幾內亞的獨立紀念日將至，請特別為新幾內亞接下來一週的治安禱告。求神掌管。

2. We have been stuck for 19 months due to the pandemic and our illnesses. May God give us peace while we are waiting, and pave the way for us to go back to PNG.
起先是由於疫情，後來又因自身的疾病，我們已經等候了19個月。求神開路讓我們可以回到新幾內亞，並使我們在等待的時候有平安。

3. 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。

4. 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。

5. TMM committee members are to drive to Jia Yi and attend Stephen Lin's sending ceremony this coming Sunday morning. May God bless all of us with safe journeys and unite us in Him.
這個星期日早上台灣華人動員宣教協會理監事們要開車到嘉義參加林群學宣教士的差派禮。求神保守大家旅途平安，在主裡合ㄧ。

6. May God bless my dad’s recovery from the cataract surgeries, and remain his driver’s license.
求神賜福家父白內障術後復元，保留他的駕駛執照。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
