Shalom, dear all!
Thank you for faithfully praying for us. Having not received our SOE entry permit yet, have to reschedule our flight again. But we trust that we are in good hands of God.
各位代禱勇士，收信平安。
感謝大家忠心代禱。我們還沒收到特別狀態執行處的入境許可，所以又得更改飛行日期了。深信我們在上帝手中好得無比。
We were wondering and praying about what to do next with our fund-raising sale of PNG coffee that has lasted for three years. It’s piece of cake with a complicate recipe. Thanks to God for giving us a helper to deal with the shipment. And thanks to many of you for sending us to our mission field PNG through drinking PNG coffee or making your friends drink it.
算來我們的新幾內亞咖啡義賣的事工已經做了三年了，原本不知道接下來要怎麼交辦，正為這件工序複雜的小事禱告。感謝神賞賜給我們一位同工可以處理出貨的工作。也感謝您們當中有很多位透過喝新幾內亞咖啡或買來送人的方式，送我們到新幾內亞宣教。
We don’t “own” a lot on the earth but we want to be good stewards of God. Kellen and I spent 3 weeks dealing with our wills. Having thought it would be something difficult and pricy, we learned a lot from lectures held by church, our friends and the court. And it didn’t cost us a penny.
我們在這世上擁有的資產並不多，但是我們想當神的好管家。花了三個星期，終於把遺囑寫好了。原本以為立遺囑很困難，也以為會花很多錢。過程中我們從教會辦的講座、朋友的諮詢以及法院的諮詢當中，學習到非常多寶貴的功課。到頭來發現立遺囑不用花一分錢。
Praise the Lord that our mentors are willing to seek God’s Will with us while we have rescheduled our flights many times since February 2020. Last week we talked about the difference between taking actions by faith and putting God to the test. Well, missionaries encounter this issue all the time. After all, we are called by God and listen to Him alone. Let’s imagine that you receive a phone call from God while you hop around the food stands of a night market in Taiwan. Do you listen and follow what God says or do you listen to an oyster omelet seller and satisfy your stomach first? Actions by faith means to satisfy God’s will no matter what. And putting God to the test is to expect God to make things happen the way we desire. May His will be done.
感謝神，輔導我們的牧長們一直和我們一起尋求神。從2020二月到現在，我們的啟程日期已經更改很多次了。上星期我們談到什麼是憑信心行動，以及什麼是試探神。想像一下，當你在台灣的夜市一攤一攤逛著的時候，接到神打給你的電話。你會聽從神所講的話，或是你會聽從蚵仔煎老闆的話先去滿足腸胃？憑信心的行動就是無論如何都要滿足神的旨意，而試探神就是期待神讓事情按著我們的想法來發生。願神的旨意成全。
Please remember us in your prayers.
敬請在禱告中記念我們：
1. Our have rescheduled and booked the flights of January 27th, 28st back to PNG via Singapore. May God guide us in preparation, communication and processing the SOE entry permit.
我們已經改訂了一月27, 28日飛經新加坡到新幾內亞的機票。願神在準備工作、溝通事宜，以及申請緊急狀態入境許可各事上引導我們。
2. We are working on purchasing a long-term- durational medical evacuation insurance package. May God guide us.
我們正在尋求購買長期程的醫療撤退險。求神引導我們。
3. May God bless PNG and enable the people to be willing to take the wise epidemic prevention measures.
願神賜福新幾內亞，使人民願意採取有智慧的防疫措施。
4. May God take care of our old parents, grant them solvation, health, peace and joy.
願神看顧我們年邁的父母，賞賜他們救恩、健康、平安及喜樂。
All for Him
願神得榮耀
主內末肢
In Christ
