Shalom, dear all!

Thank you for faithfully praying for us. Challenges in manpower have kept coming up, but the grace of the Lord is always sufficient. I have learned to appreciate the efforts of others and to manage the necessary boundary with the team members. As we keep going with the ministry of making baptism robes, God has reminded me that I have received a lot of God’s spiritual benefit over the years through this church on a hill in Taichung. Even the testimonies of a sister in this church who just passed away few months ago have been giving me very strong impact. Her life of serving the Lord whole-heartedly that reflected life of Jesus has cheered me up. I am so much enjoying the sweet fellowship in the Lord as we are making baptism robes.

各位代禱勇士，收信平安。

感謝大家忠心為我們代禱。我們在人力上持續發生挑戰，但是主的恩典夠用。我學習著好好激賞別人的擺上，也學習維持團隊成員的必要界線。受洗袍製作事工一邊進行著，神讓我想起，這幾年來透過這個在台中一個山坡上的教會，我從神領受到諸多屬靈的恩典。甚至這個教會有一位幾個月前剛過世的姐妹，她的生活見證還一直對我影響很深。想到她專心服事主，單單活出主耶穌的生命，我感到自己被加油了。就這樣，我們一面製作受洗袍，我一面享受在主裡甜美的團契。

Anyway, I have recently been spending almost all of my time preparing for and conducting the 1-to-1 out-reaching course “D2B”. Inspired by God, I would like to master in conducting this course before taking off to PNG next month. It takes a lot of time, but it is worthwhile. It does make people get to know the God of eternity and comprehend the importance of salvation that brings people out of the law of the sin and death. And of course, it clearly introduces the means of enjoying the presence of God. I believe that Christians who merely would like to escape the hell are unhappy ones. Who would enjoy being refugees? In the other hand, Christians who pursue God’s presence have the real joy. How about you?

然而，我近來大部分時間都用在帶領一對一佈道課程「從懷疑到相信」以及備課。神激勵我要在下個月前往新幾內亞以前，熟悉運用這套課程。這得花費很大的工夫，但是非常值得。難得的是，這個課程能有效領人認識永恆的神，也瞭解這能領人脫離罪與死亡之律的救恩是非常重要的。當然，也清楚闡述享受神同在的方法。我深信，單單為了逃避地獄之火而信耶穌的人，終究會成為很不快樂的基督徒。而追求神同在的基督徒才會有真正的喜樂。您說呢？

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. May God bless PNG and enable the people to be willing to take the wise epidemic prevention measures.

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, protect them and their families, and give them the patience, strength and wisdom needed.
願神賜福給我們的志工們，保護她們以及她們的家人，賞賜給她們所需的耐心、力量與智慧。

All for Him

願神得榮耀

In Christ
