親愛的代禱同工、弟兄姊妹們主內平安:

        光陰似箭,一晃我們在德國宣教已超過28年了,先後在德國開拓並建立了三間華人教會(柏林華人基督教會,萊比錫華人基督教會,柏林愛加華人基督教會),共開拓了14個城市的聚會點(團契),超過1000人信主,超過600人受洗,其中酸甜苦辣都嘗過,雖然辛苦,但主的恩典夠用,願將一切榮耀歸於主!

        受後現代主義的影響,這幾年的青年學生事工非常不容易,當我上個月有兩周在多倫多兩個教會主日證道分享,看見其中一個教會週六下午的青年學生聚會,居然有一百多人。近期,加拿大政府有新的政策,大學生只要畢業或找到工作,即可留下來。歐洲國家不同的政策,帶來不同的影響與結果,令我十分感慨。在德國,不少大學生信主得造就及開始教會事奉,就畢業了,也是離開奔走新里程的時候。

        自12月聖誕特會迄今有3位新朋友決志信主,正預備跟進的事工。

        本月24日(週六)將在柏林愛加華人基督教會舉行四個牧區聯合同工退修會(同工研習會)。

        今年5月24至26日在柏林愛加教會舉辦小型門徒訓練營,講員為郭振游教授,請代禱。

        今年7月中旬將在柏林愛加教會舉辦親子講座,以便更好的發展兒少事工。

        這一兩周正在忙著執拾行李,3月要搬家;由於目前住在頂樓,上下樓梯不便(前兩個月腿疼),加上房租又漲,只好搬到更小的公寓(一樓)。請為我們搬家順利代禱。

親愛的弟兄姊妹平安:

        「惟喜愛耶和華的律法,晝夜思想,這人便為有福!」詩篇一2

        一月二日讀經班以詩篇開始今年的讀經,我們一班老弟兄姊妹跟著讀經計劃,自2021年疫情開始,轉眼已經讀了三年。今年又應姊妹們的要求,加上了唱詩的環節,正好有很多詩歌都以詩篇為主題,我們除了讀經,也學習唱新歌讚美神!

        去年十二月份比較多的接待的工作,有弟兄姊妹途經我家借宿一晚,再往別的城市走;有姊妹從別城來法蘭克福乘坐飛機回國探親,也要借宿一宵;有一位姊妹隻身在外,今年整個聖誕假期就在我家度過;還有就是陪伴一位未成年的學生(應他媽媽的要求)住一晚酒店,第二天帶他去機場飛回家。

        另外也接待一名非信徒,她要買車,因為她住在南部比較偏僻的地方,看了一部二手車,車行的位置離我家大約半個小時車程。她要求我陪她去看車、試車。當她買下車子,又要載她去車行取車,再陪她開車回家,因為她才拿到德國的駕駛執照;第二天,我一個人坐四個小時的公共交通工具回家。

        十二月也接受了一個外來的請求,就是一位比我還小好幾歲無當地居留權的女性華人,她被送進醫院。由於她不懂英語、德語,醫院無法與她溝通,請了一位中文翻譯。就是這位翻譯請我前往醫院去探訪她。後來醫院把她轉送到一間機構,因為他們將旅館改為難民營,旅館有一間房間可以收容她。因著跟著她跑不同地方,所以就成為了她的翻譯,幫收留她的機構負責人和工作人員、社會福利部門的工作人員、醫生、救護人員作翻譯。由於這位女士身患末期癌症,旅館不是她長期居住的地方,因為沒有醫護人員照顧她,而且她有很多東西都不能吃,也不能走動,到底她有沒有吃東西也不清楚。每次我去探訪她,都會帶一些湯給她喝,這也成為她所叫的「耶穌湯」,因為我有為她禱告,請求耶穌拯救她、幫助她。神果然藉著一間慈善機構裡幾位熱心的醫生,幾經努力之後,終於幫她找到一個臨終關懷的病房,她就可以長久住在那裡,而且得到很好的關懷照顧。在那裡有一位西藏女士,懂一點中文,她也負責管飯食,說可以煮一些適合那女士口味的食物給她吃。

        由於吉森團契今年不夠人手舉辦大型的聖誕活動,我們就邀請新來的同學與我們過節,只有一名女生來參加,另外兩名男生本來答應要來,最後還是被他們的同學叫走了。這名女生剛來讀博士學位,有很多的焦慮,壓力很大,假期之後也沒有見她來團契了。

感恩與代禱事項:

  1. 感恩老弟兄姊妹們每早都願意一起來聆聽神的話語!感恩上週探訪了一位已經很久沒有與我們見面的老姊妹,邀請她參與讀經,這週開始她也上來了!
  2. 感謝主,有機會服事弟兄姊妹與非信徒在家中作客!感恩可以陪伴單身姊妹度過她的假期,讓她不致覺得孤單!
  3. 感恩可以服事那位有需要的非信徒,求神讓她看到神的愛,藉著幫助她,使她能夠來認識神!
  4. 感謝主,憐憫那位得了末期癌症的女士,讓她可以得到一個安息的地方,得到好的照顧!求主幫助她,讓她有清醒的頭腦,在聽到福音的時候願意接受主的救恩!
  5. 求主保守小朋友,在這寒冷的天氣下免受感染,及不會和家人交差感染。
  6. 求主保守懷胎的姊妹,使她與胎兒都健康,按期(預產期是三月)把嬰孩順利產下來!
  7. 求主幫助那位讀博士的女生,讓她適應當地的學習,願意來團契與弟兄姊妹交流,減輕壓力!

        願主帶領我們進入新的一年,讓我們緊緊的跟隨主!
        預祝你們新春蒙福!

主的使女

Dear brothers and sisters,

        “But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His Law he meditates day and night!” Psalms 1:2

        On January 2nd, our Bible reading class started our Bible reading this year with Psalms. Our senior brothers and sisters have been following the Bible reading plan for three years since 2021 during the pandemic. At the request of our sisters, this year we also added a hymn-singing session, which coincided with the fact that many of the hymns were based on the theme of the Psalms, so in addition to reading the Bible, we also learned to sing new songs to praise God!

        Last December, I had several receptions. A couple passed by my house and stayed overnight before heading to other city; a sister came from other city to Frankfurt to take a flight back to visit her relatives in China, and she also had to stay overnight; one sister was out of town, and she stayed at my home for the whole Christmas vacation this year; and I also accompanied a teenage student to stay in a hotel for one night (at the request of his mother), and then I took him to the airport to fly home the next day.

        I also hosted a non-believer who wanted to buy a car because she lives in a relatively remote place in the south. She looked at a used car and the car dealership was about half an hour’s drive from my home. She asked me to accompany her to see the car and test drive it. After she bought the car, I had to take her to the car dealership to pick it up, and then drive with her back to her home because she had just obtained her German driver’s license. The next day I had to take four hours of public transportation to get home.

        In December, I also accepted a request from a stranger. A stateless Chinese lady who was several years younger than me, was admitted to a hospital. Since she did not speak English or German, the hospital was unable to communicate with her, so they hired a Chinese interpreter. It was this interpreter who asked me to visit her in the hospital. The hospital later transferred her to an organization which had converted a hotel into a refugee camp and there was a room in the hotel that could accommodate her. As I followed her around, I became her interpreter, translating for the person in charge and staff of the organization that took her in, the staff of the social welfare department, the doctors, and the ambulance staff. Since this woman is suffering from terminal cancer, a hotel is not a place for her to live for a long time because there are no medical staffs to take care of her.  She cannot eat a lot of things, and she cannot move around so it is not clear whether she has eaten anything or not. Every time I visited her, I would bring her some soup, which she called “Jesus Soup”, because I prayed for her and asked Jesus to save her and help her. God did find her a hospice ward through a few dedicated doctors of a charity organization, and after much effort, she was able to stay there for a long time and receive good care. There was a Tibetan lady there who could understand a little Chinese and was also responsible for taking care of the meals. She said she could cook some food suitable for Chinese appetites.

        Since the Giessen Fellowship did not have the manpower to hold a large-scale Christmas event this year, we invited the new students to join us for the holiday. Only one girl came to join us, while the other two boys were called by their classmates after they had promised to come. This girl had just come to study for her doctorate degree, and she had a lot of anxiety and stress, and we didn’t see her come to the fellowship after the holiday.

Thanksgiving and Prayer Items:

  1. I am thankful for the senior brothers and sisters who are willing to come together every morning to listen to God’s word! I am grateful that last week I visited an old sister who we have not seen for a long time and invited her to participate in our Bible reading. She has also joined us starting this week!
  2. Thank the Lord for the opportunity to serve brothers and sisters and unbelievers as guests in my home! I am grateful that I could accompany the single sister on her vacation so that she would not feel lonely!
  3. Thank God also that I could minister to that unbeliever in need by helping her so that she may come to know God one day!
  4. Thank the Lord for having mercy on the lady suffering from terminal cancer, allowing her to have a resting place and receive good care! Pray that she will have a clear mind and be willing to accept the Lord’s salvation when she hears the Gospel.
  5. Pray that the Lord will protect the children from getting infected often in this cold weather and then spreading it to the whole family!
  6. Pray that the Lord will protect the pregnant sister so that both she and the fetus will be healthy and the baby will be delivered smoothly at maturity (expected date of delivery is March)!
  7. Pray that the girl who is studying for her doctorate degree will adapt to her studies and be willing to come to the fellowship to communicate with brothers and sisters to relieve her stress!

        May the Lord lead us into the new year and let us follow Him closely!
        I wish you all a blessed Chinese New Year in advance!

Serving Him,

Karen Tang

親愛的代禱同工、弟兄姊妹們主內平安:

        天氣開始冷了,這兩天已達-1度,昨天夜晚下雪了,今早寫代禱信時柏林的窗外已是白茫茫的一片。

        九至十一月皆有短宣隊從美國來德國,忙得不亦樂乎,加上我的梨狀肌發炎,壓迫坐骨神經,讓我疼痛不已,尤其上下樓梯很不方便,也很辛苦!

        感謝神,11月17-19日三日兩夜的營會順利圓滿完成,共158人參加,神的話感動了多人,有人流淚、有人決志信主。結束了忙碌的營會後,我感冒發燒又頭疼暈眩嘔吐,差點掛了,感謝師母搶救,挽回一條性命。

        在牧區9個城市中,尚有4個城市沒有牧人,需要與北美的教會合作接力牧養,請有負擔的教會及牧者可以與我聯繫。

        許多區域已開始佈置聖誕市場:一排排的小木屋、溫馨的燈光、美麗的雪景及聖誕歌聲的播放,在寒冷的天氣中令人心中感到一絲絲的溫暖。

感恩與代禱

  1. 為11月的冬季營會感恩,願神的道繼續在與會者的心中作工。
  2. 為12月各牧區的聖誕特會及福音事工代禱。

親愛的弟兄姊妹平安:

        「使他們知道:惟獨你—名為耶和華的—是全地以上的至高者!」詩篇83:18

        這次回美工作匯報,由於新冠病毒大流行的影響,有些聚會仍在zoom上舉行,加上我未能開車到較遠的地方,以致我沒有機會實體見到南灣的弟兄姊妹,很抱歉。不過,很感恩仍能見到某些弟兄姊妹,也認識了一些新的弟兄姊妹和牧者,彼此分享神奇妙的作為。謝謝你們的款待,特別感謝那些來接送我去參加聚會的弟兄姊妹!

        本來計劃去加拿大參加一位百歲姊妹的慶生活動,可是到步就測出得了新冠病毒,需要隔離。感恩,之後還是有機會去探訪她(加拿大人),送她一個紅包時,她也知道並用中文說:「利是」。老姊妹很感動,看到這麼多以前她們夫妻接待的留學生,經過幾十年之後回去與她一同慶祝百歲生日,一個很大的驚喜!

        一位準備九月份要結婚的姊妹,她的媽媽突然於五月回到天父的懷裡。為了支持姊妹,改了機票回去德國,第二天就參加她的婚禮。感恩她的父親與姐弟,並很多好朋友都飛過來參加和幫忙,讓婚禮順利舉行,使她丈夫的未信父母和參與者都很感動。

        代替我帶領老人讀經班的姊妹很高興我回來,她就可以卸下重任,把讀經班交回給我負責,她就不用每天通知失憶的姊妹上線了。剛回來時,住的地方網絡很差,經常斷線,原本請了一名弟兄來幫忙檢查,他仍未來看,網絡卻已恢復正常了。之後,一位老弟兄也無法上網參加讀經。回國的老弟兄也不知道什麼原因上不了zoom,雖然他很想跟我們一起讀經。

        去年迎新的預科生都已經離開吉森,往別的城市上大學去,剩下唯一一名在工作的女生,經過一年斷斷續續的福音課程,她終於在離開吉森的前兩週作了一個決志禱告。我們很開心的把這粒福音果子送給漢堡教會。之後我們又要重新開始,今年兩次迎新活動接觸了三名男同學和三名女同學(都是初信姊妹的室友)。由於我們的學生團契暫時沒有學生,所以未必能吸引他們來聚會,上週連一個都沒有出現。

        最近吉森團契的一些家庭都遭遇一些難處。一位姊妹在騎車時撞到石頭,送去醫院檢查,感恩沒有骨折,但是有些腦震盪,需要躺下休息。由於夫妻二人經營一間快餐店,弟兄便要一人照顧店裡的工作,並妻子和女兒的起居飲食。另一位單親媽媽有一子一女,姊妹身體虛弱,經常生病。兒子剛上大學,但承受不了壓力,需要住院做心理治療。有兩個家庭添了孫兒,有時候需要去兒女家看顧孫兒,其中一家即將回國三個多月。加上負責團契的姊妹剛懷孕幾個月,身體比較疲倦。因此,團契缺少了幾位原來服事的同工。

        但感謝主,帶領一家庭來到吉森聚會,他們有三個孩子,最大的女兒看到我們帶領慕道友做決志禱告,她媽媽說她也可以做這禱告。於是,兩週前也和她講福音,帶她信主(可惜,上週他們正要出門來團契的時候,就在家門口被人撞壞了他們的車)。

        同時,另一家剛搬到吉森的家庭,他們也開始帶家裡三個年齡更小的孩子來參加聚會;另外一位單親姊妹也開始帶她的孩子來聚會。去年剛結婚的姊妹兩個月前也誕下一寶寶。團契一下子就多了很多孩子,兒童事工也缺乏人手。

感恩與代禱事項:

  1. 感恩工作匯報期間在眾教會的分享、與弟兄姊妹相聚,並認識了新肢體!
  2. 感恩感染新冠病毒之後,仍可見到百歲老姊妹,並回德國參加姊妹的婚禮!
  3. 感恩在工作匯報與度假期間,有老姊妹維持zoom上的讀經班繼續進行!求主保守弟兄姊妹的網絡能正常運作,可以繼續參與讀經!
  4. 感謝主感動在吉森工作的女生,在她轉換工作地方前,能接受主的救恩!感謝主也讓十二歲的女孩因明白救恩,接受基督為她的救主!求主保守她們的信仰,繼續在神的家裡成長!
  5. 求主使因腦震盪而頭暈的姊妹能早日康復,弟兄有體力經營快餐店與照顧家庭!
  6. 求主賜單親媽媽有健壯的身體,使她有精力照顧有情緒病的兒子。求主醫治兒子,讓他有動力與勇氣繼續學習!
  7. 求主保守懷孕的姊妹,讓她懷孕期一切順利,身體與胎兒都健康。
  8. 感謝主保守,發生車禍的一家五口平安無事!求主憐憫,使他們的車子能早日補修穩妥。
  9. 感謝主帶領一些家庭來吉森團契!求主加添更多同工,在團契、學生和兒童事工上都能參與事奉!求主感動新生繼續來參加聚會,並認識真神!
  10. 最近比較多的弟兄姊妹患感冒,求主憐憫與醫治!

        感謝主讓我們在這戰亂的世界中,仍有一些平安的角落可以繼續服事主!
        感謝您們的支持與代禱!

Dear brothers and sisters,

        “That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.” Psalms 83:18

        I am sorry that I did not have a chance to meet the brothers and sisters in the South Bay area during my furlough this summer. This was mainly due to the fact that I was unable to drive that far and some meetings were held on zoom. However, I am thankful that I was able to meet brothers and sisters physically and meet some new brothers and sisters and pastors, and share with each other God’s marvelous works. Thank you for your hospitality, and especially thank to the brothers and sisters who came to drive me to the meetings!

        I had planned to go to a 100-year-old sister’s celebration, but when I arrived in Canada, I was tested with Covid-19 and had to be quarantined. After that, I was thankful that I still had the chance to visit the elderly sister (a Canadian). When I gave her a red pocket, she knew it was a “goodwill” money by saying it in Chinese. She was touched to see that so many students from other countries whom she and her husband had hosted in the past had come back to celebrate her 100th birthday with her after several decades, which was a great surprise to her!

        A sister who was planning to get married in September had her mom suddenly return to Heavenly Father’s arms in May. In order to support the sister, I changed my plane ticket to go back earlier in order to attend her wedding the next day. We are thankful that her father, siblings, and many good friends flew in to attend and help, making her wedding very touching for her husband’s unbelieving parents and others!

        The sister who took my place in leading the Bible reading for the elderly was very happy to have me back, so she could take off the heavy responsibility and hand the group back to me. So, she did not have to notify the amnesiac sister to come online every day. When I first came back, the network was very bad and was often disconnected for a month. Later, I asked a brother to take a look at it. But, although he didn’t come to take a look at it, the network was back to normal again. Later, an old brother was also unable to go online to participate in the Bible reading. Another old brother who went back to China also could not go on zoom for some reason, although he wanted to read the Bible with us.

        All of the matriculants from last year’s orientation have left Giessen to go to college in other cities. The only working woman left, after a year of intermittent evangelism classes, finally accepted Christ’s salvation two weeks before she left Giessen. We were happy to give this gospel fruit to the Hamburg church. We started all over again, reaching out to three male and three female students (all roommates of the newly converted sister) at our two orientations this year. Since we have no students in our student fellowship, we may not be able to attract them. Not even one showed up last week.

        Recently, some of the families in the Giessen Fellowship have been experiencing some difficulties. A sister hit a rock while riding her bike and was sent to the hospital for examination and was thankful that there were no broken bones. But she had a concussion and needed to lie down and rest. Since the couple opens a fast-food restaurant, the brother has to take care of the work in the restaurant as well as his wife and daughter. Another single mother has a son and a daughter. The sister is weak and often sick. Her son, who just started college, can’t handle the stress and needs to be hospitalized for psychotherapy. Two families have become grandparents and sometimes need to go to their children’s homes to care for their grandchildren. One of the two families is about to go back to China for more than three months. The sister in charge of the Fellowship has just been pregnant for a few months and is quite tired. As a result, the fellowship is lacking a few co-workers from the original team.

        But we thank the Lord for bringing a family to Giessen with three children. When the oldest daughter saw us lead the seeker prayed the decision prayer, her mom said she could do it too. So, two weeks ago, we talked to her about the gospel and brought her to faith in Christ. (Unfortunately, last week they were on their way out of the house to come to the fellowship when their car was hit by someone and damaged.)

        As this couple became involved in the fellowship, at the same time another family who just moved to Giessen, the sister also started bringing her three younger children to the fellowship. Another single sister started bringing her little one to the meetings. A sister who just got married last year gave birth to a baby two months ago. Suddenly, there are many more children in the fellowship and the children’s ministry is short of staff.

Thanksgiving and Prayer Items:

  1. I am thankful for the sharing in the churches, the meeting up with brothers and sisters, and the acquaintance of new members during my furlough!
  2. I am grateful for seeing the 100-year-old sister after I got the Covid-19 and for going back to Germany to attend the sister’s wedding!
  3. I am thankful for the old sister who kept the bible reading on zoom going during the time of my furlough and vacation! Pray that the Lord will keep our brothers and sisters’ network up and running and that they will be able to continue to participate in the Bible reading!
  4. Thanks to the Lord for touching the woman working in Giessen to accept the Lord’s salvation before she changed her place of work! Thank the Lord for the 12-year-old girl who accepted Christ as her Saviour because of her understanding of salvation! Pray that the Lord will keep their faith and continue to grow in God’s family!
  5. Pray that our sister, who is dizzy due to a concussion, will recover soon, and that her husband will have the strength to run the restaurant and take care of his family!
  6. Pray that the Lord would strengthen the single mom’s body so that she would have the energy to take care of her emotionally ill son. Pray for the Lord’s healing for the son so that he will have the motivation and courage to continue his studies!
  7. Pray for the Lord’s protection over a pregnant sister that her pregnancy will go smoothly and that her body and baby will be healthy.
  8. Thank the Lord for keeping the family of five who were hit by a car safe and sound! Pray for the Lord’s mercy that their car will be repaired soon!
  9. Thank the Lord for the families He has brought to the Giessen Fellowship! Pray for more co-workers to serve in the fellowship, student and children’s ministries! Pray that new students will be moved to continue to come to the meetings and know the true God!
  10. Pray for the Lord’s mercy and healing as more brothers and sisters are suffering from colds recently!

        Thank the Lord for allowing us, including you, to have some safe corners to continue serving the Lord in this war-torn world!
        Thank you for your support and prayers!

Serving Him,
Karen Tang

親愛的代禱同工、弟兄姐妹們主內平安:

        今年的夏天忽冷忽熱,很容易感冒。有一個家庭5個孩子輪流感冒,確實很辛苦!

        今年四月我在臺灣推動成立國際中華福音使命團臺灣分會,奔波了一個多月。感謝主,中華福音使命團(簡稱「中福團」)證書已拿到,已通過政府內政部的登記成立了,獲准「社團法人中華福音使命團」。後面還有一系列的宣傳及宣教基金籌募,請迫切代禱。

        七月在丹麥停留了三個多星期,除了擔任哥本哈根夏季營會講員,也協助了教會分堂福音事工,看見弟兄姊妹又熱心又喜樂的服事,有一些新的體驗。

        8月6日(主日)一年一次的聯合主日敬拜及受洗(四個牧區八個城市),疫情後這兩年的參加人數比之前減少了很多。這次約有100人參加,有6位初信的弟兄姊妹受洗。柏林愛家教會租了50座位的遊覽巴士,滿滿一車人去參加。感謝神的奇妙作為,出發前下著雨,一路唱著讚美詩及見證分享,不久太陽就出來了,到了目的地陽光普照。11:30準時開始聚會,來自美國的段長老分享神的話,弟兄姊妹也都有得著,之後為6位弟兄姊妹受洗,聖靈作工大大激勵了眾人。

感恩與代禱

  1. 為柏林愛加華人基督教會及布倫瑞克華人團契感恩,兩地的會友皆有成長。柏林主日聚會平均成人40人、兒童7人;布倫瑞克主日聚會平均成人30人、兒童5人(感謝德州恩友堂、北堂及北北堂的接力牧養)。
  2. 9月及10月皆有北美的短宣隊來訪,希望有多一些傳福音的聚會及活動,請代禱。
  3. 請為永麗光能夫婦這多年來,每年兩次各3個月在最不容易且流動最大的牧區Jena-Weimar-Erfurt忠心的擺上感恩,並為他們恩上加恩、力上加力代禱。
  4. 請開始為11月17-19日在威登堡舉行的第二十屆德國華人福音造就營會代禱,目標150人參加(經過4年的疫情第一次恢復實體聚會)。
  5. 周伯玉宣教士8月回台灣工作匯報,10底返回柏林愛加,請為她工作匯報期間的生活、事奉、健康代禱,求主祝福。

        在我一籌莫展時,神調動萬有讓我經歷祂。話說我在柏林兩年,其實有一年的時間疫情都很嚴重,教會聚會人數也還沒有穩定。想到基督徒面對的屬靈爭戰是沒有停止的一天,更何況是神的僕人呢?雖然我當時資源少,人際網絡在德國幾乎是從零開始,但眼看在這近一年中,教會在主的引領和看顧下,神的家越來越整全,作主僕人的我只有藉著禱告,為神的家祈求,專心去做神要我做的。主也知道祂的僕人不聰明,只是遵守主命,祂知道教會需要,所以興起我身旁的人與我同工。祂調動萬有,讓愛神的人得益處,也給我湧流不盡的驚喜,讓我經歷祂呼召我的信實。謝謝主,在祂的安排下,講員曾老師夫婦留在柏林的最後幾天,我能帶他們四處走走,這都是主的恩典及眾人的愛心。沒有什麼是理所當然,而是神親自引領教會長大成熟,越來越有國度觀。在此謝謝那些在曾老師短宣期間,有份協助服事的同工及各位弟兄姐妹,並背後的家庭成員,我就不一一提名感謝,神知道一切,願神悅納我們為祂所做的一切,哈利路亞!

感恩及代禱事項:

  1. 感謝神的引領,帶領曾陽晴弟兄夫婦來柏林短宣一個月,分享夫妻和親子講座,一切順利和平安。兄姊們有很好的回應和互動。
  2. 再過一個月我便回台灣工作匯報,心情很興奮,快要見到自己家人和母會的弟兄姊妹了。請大家代禱柏林服侍交接順利,弟兄姊妹興起服事主。
  3. 我在台灣時,柏林的住處將會繼續開放給小組聚會。請為小組弟兄姊妹和新朋友能堅守小組查經禱告,願安全、喜樂、平安永相隨。
  4. 謝謝大家兩年多來的支持代禱,回台北之後,會辦幾場德國宣教分享會和主日分享,包括母會和代禱勇士群,請為負責牧者、同工、兄姊們代禱,願神記念他們的擺上。
  5. 也請大家為神國的事積極推進,邀請宣教士到您的教會或小組分享,鼓勵教會及弟兄姊妹肩負起宣教、傳福音的大使命,並且一起為德國華人靈魂得救禱告。願主的旨意成就,我們只是一塊小拼圖,求主讓我們有份。
  6. 請為我右腳踝禱告,可能鞋子不適合,開始隱隱作痛。求主醫治。

親愛的代禱勇士:

        平安!

        讚嘆神的榮耀,感謝讚美主!最近這段時間,倚靠聖靈的同在,及弟兄姐妹和同工們,同心合意地順服在聖靈的帶領之下,柏林愛加教會人數有明顯的增加,現在連同孩子已經有將近60人。我們求聖靈繼續與愛加教會同在,讓我們在主恩典中更加被激勵,信心更加被堅固,繼續擴張我們的眼界、境界,讓我們更加的合一,以至能在更短的時間裡,成為百人的教會。我們把這異象放在禱告當中,請各位弟兄姐妹繼續為柏林愛加華人基督教會禱告。願主的旨意成就!一切榮耀都歸主!

感恩讚美:

  1. 感謝神!我在德國第一次主領安息禮拜,在神的保守中順利完成,除了感恩還是感恩,謝謝母會基督之家的長老過去對我手把手的教導,以至於我可以完成服事,感謝聖靈當天的運行,安慰人心。
  2. 感謝神!差派林慧君牧師到柏林探訪,帶給我極大的安慰和鼓勵!同時,她也在柏林服事,激勵和安慰了弟兄姐妹,一切榮耀歸給主。
  3. 感謝神!母親節的證道充滿著聖靈的恩膏,教會的媽媽們非常開心、扎心,小朋友也有獻詩、獻花、煮義大利麵獻給媽媽,眾人都深深感受到主的愛在我們當中。

代禱:

  1. 感謝神!感謝主使用我帶領慕道友歸主,其中有博士後研究、碩士、TU大學生(柏林理工大學)多人決志信主,並已開始進入基要信仰課程;同時在我家有每兩週一次的小組,求神繼續做工,讓我能在聖靈的帶領下,按著正意分解神的道,使弟兄姐妹們能明白真道,生命成長。
  2. 感謝神!以前的短宣伙伴曾陽晴教授伉儷受邀過來柏林短宣一個月。他們將於6月29日到達柏林,請代禱一路平安。最近柏林房租價格上漲,柏林湧進大批外地人,有技術工作者和難民,所以一屋難求。請為曾弟兄夫婦能找到適合的住處代禱。

親愛的代禱同工、弟兄姐妹們主內平安:

        因著各地疫情的解封,人們的生活也逐漸進入正常化,各種聚會活動也都能實體進行,神的恩慈信實可靠,獻上感恩。

        目前我正在台灣積極推動差會(中華福音使命團)成立台灣區辦,過程繁複但還算順利,正等待政府正式批准,拿到銀行帳號後,即可印製宣傳簡介並開始推廣,增加新會員及贊助會員,理監事也可以開始共同參與募款,希望明年下半年可以差派宣教士到德國。

        各牧區的聚會人數穩定,唯獨Weimar-Jena-Erfurt牧區人數較少,因流動大加上最主要的同工劉弟兄全家回老家工作兩年,影響巨大,將加速培養新同工,請代禱。

        六月將在Brauschweig為2-3位初信主並上完真理班的弟兄姐妹受洗,請代禱。求主賜下渴慕追求的心,使他們的靈命能健康成長,盼望日後皆能成為主手中的器皿。

感恩與代禱

  1. 為柏林愛加華人基督教會感恩,將有3-4人預備在8月6日主日聯合聚會中受洗。
  2. 為柏林愛加華人基督教會袁老弟兄安葬禮,前妻與5個女兒能分別從各地趕來參加,並深受感動獻上感恩。
  3. 請為7月中舉行的夫妻營與親子教育講座代禱,講員是曾陽晴老師夫婦。
  4. 請開始為11月17-19日的第二十屆德國華人福音造就營會代禱(今年恢復實體聚會)。

您的同工:洪立民、鄭怡珠 敬上
