Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. “God hath not promised skies always blue…. But God hath promised strength for the day…” It is a very nice hymn that well describes a pilgrim’s path towards heaven.

各位代禱勇士,收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。「神未曾應許天色常藍…神卻曾應許生活有力…」這是一首百聽不厭的古老詩歌,它深刻描寫天路客的旅程。

Through Judges 3:1-2, God has taught me that I should be gratitude for all the trials God has allowed so that I might know war.

神透過士師記三章1-2節教導我,要對祂所允許發生的試煉心存感恩,那都是為了要使我熟悉戰事。

In the update I sent you last Wednesday, I wrote about Satan’s being trembling when a missionary submits to God’s callings. That evening I had to take my dad to the hospital as he found it hard to breathe. He was in hospital until the doctor decided that he could breathe without the oxygen machine this Monday.

上個星期三我寄出的代禱信寫到宣教士順服神的呼召時,撒旦在顫抖。那天晚上,我父親呼吸困難,我將他送去醫院。他住院到這星期一,醫師說他不需要氧氣機,自己能呼吸了。

During the time of pandemics, all the restrictions make taking care of an in-hospital patient even more challenging. Thanks to God that it happened at the time I have recovered from my bad cough, and I could take care of my dad while the other family members took care of my mom. God is always in charge of everything.

在防疫期間,種種限制使得照顧住院病人更添挑戰。感謝上帝,父親住院是在我咳嗽痊癒,體力也恢復的時候。我可以一人負責照顧爸爸,其他家人照顧媽媽。上帝在凡事中完全掌權。

But he said to me,

“My grace is sufficient for you,

for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,

so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

他對我說:

「我的恩典夠你用的,

因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」

所以,我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱,

好叫基督的能力覆庇我。


Please remember us in your prayers.

敬請在禱告中記念我們:

1. May God give us peace while we are waiting, and pave the way for us to go back to PNG.
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。

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. May God bless our donors and give us enough monthly incoming donation.
願神賜福為我們奉獻的教會及個人,使我們有足夠且穩定的月定奉獻。

4. I have 2 more friends who would like to take the “D2B” course with me. May God grant me the Divine Wisdom in preparing for the lessons.
又有兩個朋友接受邀請,願意跟我上ㄧ對ㄧ佈道課程「從懷疑到相信」。求神在我備課中賞賜智慧。

5. I am honored to be asked by a church to make some robes for baptism. May God grant me the skill and strength.
我很榮幸承接為一所教會製作許多受洗袍的工作。求神賞賜我技巧與力量。

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
