Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. My dad passed the eye exam and renewed his driver’s license last week.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。我父親上星期通過視力檢查，順利更換駕照。

Kellen and I spent our birthday on the Sunday a week ago. Delivering the messages on cross-cultural mission until midnight, we had a very fulfill day. And we were also aware of some myths that hindered most Taiwanese churches to step on the path of cross-cultural mission according to the teachings of the Bible.

我和Kellen上上個主日在新竹度過「我們的」生日。那天我們從早到深夜都在傳遞跨文化宣教的信息，真是非常充足的一天。我們也再次警覺到，大部分台灣的教會對跨文化宣教存有許多迷思，使得許多教會難以按照聖經的原則，落實跨文化宣教。

We all need to deny ourselves and grab tight to God’s will, look upon our God of Almighty instead of the limitation of human beings, and imitate Christ in His sufferings. So that we shall not work against the very purpose if the existence of church.

咱們真得捨棄自己的想法，抓住神的旨意；仰望大能的神，而不是定睛在人的有限；且要效法基督受苦的心志。如此，教會不至於失去存在的意義。

I am blessed that God sent me sisters in the Lord who offer their help with the ministry of making baptism robes. This week Being concerned that my working load has increased a lot recently, Kellen is helping me make the sample and train the volunteers. She is really a very good partner.

蒙主的恩典，我得到主內的姐妹們主動協助受洗袍製作的事工。這星期Kellen體諒我服事突然增加很多，幫我製作樣品並訓練志工。她真是個好搭檔。

As we are preparing for returning to PNG, what makes me hard to leave is the issue of taking care of parents. While Jesus was on the cross, He asked Apostle John to take care of His mother though He had for brothers. God has granted me the “Johns”, too. They visited my parents last Saturday and brought them laughter of joy. Praise the Lord for the Johns.

此時，我們正準備返回新幾內亞。遠行前最令我擱不下的當然是照顧父母的問題。耶穌雖然有四個弟弟，祂在十字架上時，將母親託付給使徒約翰。神也將「約翰們」恩賜予我。他們上星期六去探訪我的父母，帶給他們許多歡笑。感謝主，有這些約翰們。

Please remember us in your prayers.

敬請在禱告中記念我們：

1. We are planning to go back to PNG in the end of December only if God’s Will. May God guide us in preparation and communication.
若神許可，我們計畫於12月底回新幾內亞。願神在準備工作及溝通事宜中引導我們。

2. Only 1 percent of the PNG population have received 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines. May God bless PNG and enable the people to be willing to take the wise epidemic prevention measures.
目前僅有百分之一的新幾內亞人口已經接受兩劑新冠肺炎疫苗注射。願神賜福新幾內亞，使人民願意採取有智慧的防疫措施。

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. At the moment, I conduct the one-to-one reaching out course D2B” 4 times a week. May God’s Spirit work among us.
目前一個星期有四個時段帶領「從懷疑到相信」一對一佈道課程。求神的靈親自在我們當中動工。

5. May God bless our volunteers and give them the patience, strength and wisdom needed.
願神賜福給我們的志工們。賞賜給他們所需的耐心、力量與智慧。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

主內末肢

In Christ
