Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. We are facing some challenges in manpower, but by the grace of the Lord, we manage to keep going with the ministry of making baptism robes. Mission, hindrances, plus God’s interference make our journey towards heaven, and our faith grows on the way. I am touched by the scene of Michelle, one of our volunteers, kneeling in front of the sewing machine and asking for God’s strength before starting the task for the day. “To turn” means to look upon the Lord in everything.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。我們在人力上面臨一些攔阻與挑戰，但是靠著主的恩典，受洗袍製作事工仍然按進度進行。我們奔向天家的旅程就是這樣，使命、攔阻，加上神的介入；我們的信心在這途中成長。看到我們的志工米雪姐妹在一日的開工前，跪在縫紉機前面向神支取力量，這個景象令我感動。「回轉」就是在凡事上仰望神，不倚靠自己。

Attending the 5-day-long on-line international conference of CMMI (Chinese Mission Mobilization International) last week, we were cheered up by many testimonies of other missionaries. And we learned a lot by a lecture talking about “mission inflation”. What has come upon to your mind when you hear this term? Well, the lecture was quite striking. Mission inflation includes 15 issues that we all have to humble down and face with, so that all the ministries can be directed to God’s will. We are blessed to have professional partners on the way of cross-cultural mission.

我和Kellen上個星期參加連續五天的華人動員宣教協會線上國際會議。很多宣教士的見證使我們大得激勵。我們從一個談及「宣教通貨膨脹」的講座學習很多且心有同感。當您聽到這個詞兒，你腦海裡面想到什麼。這個講座真的蠻震撼的。「宣教通貨膨脹」包含了十五個議題，我們都得謙卑下來好好面對。這樣，所有的事工才會以神的旨意為導向。感謝神，我們在跨文化宣教的路上有這麼專業的夥伴。

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. 9.3 percent of the PNG population have received 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines. The COVID-19 epidemic in PNG is real even in the town where our ministry is in. And the consumption of medical oxygen in the country has risen. May God bless PNG and enable the people to be willing to take the wise epidemic prevention measures.
目前有百分之九點三的新幾內亞人口已經接受兩劑新冠肺炎疫苗注射。新幾內亞的新冠疫情仍然吃緊，甚至我們事工所在城鎮的朋友們也感到威脅。整個國家的醫用氧氣需求大增。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 the annual members’ assembly of TMM (Taiwan Mission Mobilization Association) that is going to take place on November 20^th in Guanxi, Xinju.
TMM(台灣華人動員宣教協會)將於十一月20日在新竹的關西舉辦今年的會員大會。求神保守我們。

4. At the moment, I conduct the one-to-one reaching out course D2B” 6 times a week. And more candidates are in the queue. May God’s Spirit work among us.
目前一個星期有安排六個時段帶領「從懷疑到相信」一對一佈道課程。還有人等著要上課，但實在排不進來。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
