鄧秀珍代禱信2022年11月

親愛的弟兄姊妹平安:

        「無論做甚麼,或說話或行事,都要奉主耶穌的名,藉着他感謝父神。」西三17

        每年遇到感恩節的查經班聚會,都會邀請弟兄姐妹分享神的恩典。感謝父神,讓亞沙芬堡的查經班又開始實體聚會了。自從幾年前創辦查經班的孫姐妹全家搬回家鄉之後,我們就改在另一位姐妹的餐館聚會;轉眼幾年過去,可惜餐館因疫情的緣故關門了,我們就改在線上聚會。由於未信主的年輕媽媽們不願意上網聚會,我們就只有四、五名姐妹聚會。最近孫姐妹因為兒子們回德國上大學,她也暫時留下來。自從她回來之後,大家便輪流在各人家裡聚會。由於聚會時間改了,有些媽媽也可以參加。有一位姐妹,她要上半職的班,現在因為有聚會,她也申請那半天請假來參加聚會。一位慕道友在幾個月前生下第二胎,寶寶早產,而她生產時又經歷大量出血,像臨近死亡的邊緣。現在她身體慢慢恢復健康,而最近寶寶去檢查身體時,當她聽到醫生宣佈寶寶沒有任何毛病時,就激動到流淚。她現在很積極參加查經班,雖然她承認有一位神,但還不確定是誰,並表示願意繼續尋求這位神。一位姐妹的媽媽在疫情期間因為離婚,搬到與女兒家裡居住。雖然她也是基督徒,但是每次女兒上線聚會,她都不願意參加。現在恢復實體聚會,她就很願意跟女兒一起來。除了查經聚會之外,因為孫姐妹每週日都開車去法蘭克福的華人教會,就順便帶上其他兩位平時不去主日崇拜的姐妹。感謝主把孫姐妹帶回來,因為她的愛心付出,查經班的媽媽又再一次活躍起來!

        感恩吉森團契辦了兩次迎新活動,都有幾位學生參加。在第二次活動的時候,有兩名新來的同學得了Covid-19,他們以為德國防疫政策是開放了,就沒有在家隔離,而來參加我們的聚會。感恩他們沒有傳染給我們。最近也來了一位交換生,由於她的老師與同學在家鄉已經邀請她去教會,所以她來了就馬上來參加教會聚會。有一位德國姐妹是退休老師,很願意幫助學生透過讀經來學習德語,負責團契的姐妹就介紹兩名新生給她。感恩這位熱心幫助學生的姐妹,她過去也在附近城市的華人查經班幫忙教德語。

        團契有幾個家長帶孩子跟隨一位德國音樂老師學樂器,她很積極安排孩子排練節目,讓我們在聖誕聚會裡有兒童表演環節。我們也在籌備今年的實體聖誕聚會。

        感恩廣東話查經班也開始實體與線上同步的聚會!以前不參加線上聚會的人,現在也來實體聚會。本來實體聚會以居住在法蘭克福的弟兄姐妹為主,由於其他城市的姐妹們都願意線上來參加,所以我們先聚餐,然後邀請線上的姐妹們一起參加聚會。感恩的是負責查經班的一位弟兄,去年收留了一名剛畢業但尚未找到工作的學生住在家裡,經過一段長時間,在簽證快要到期之前終於找到一份工作。這位剛畢業的學生認識一些基督徒,也有參加一些團契活動,現在也來參加我們的查經班,是個會廣東話的馬來西亞華僑。

感恩與代禱事項:

  1. 感謝神讓我們在感恩節裡數算神的恩典!
  2. 感謝神帶領亞沙芬堡的孫姐妹回來,又積極關懷其他媽媽。求主堅固信徒的信心,並讓尋求神的慕道友能認識真神,得著救恩!
  3. 感恩德國老師幫助學生學習德語,並向他們傳福音!
  4. 求主幫助我們籌備聖誕聚會,吸引新同學來參加佈道聚會!
  5. 感恩神的保守,使讀經班裡的長者都喜悅讀神的話!
  6. 感恩弟兄收留的學生找到工作,並願意參加團契的聚會!求主吸引他早日接受救恩!
  7. 感恩有機會閱讀此信的弟兄姐妹,感恩有你們的支持與代禱!

        願我們一起來數算神的恩典,願榮耀歸給神!

主的使女

Dear brothers and sisters,

        “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. “Col. 3:17

        Every year at the Bible Study meeting on Thanksgiving, brothers and sisters are invited to share God’s grace. Thank God our Father that the Bible study group in Aschaffenburg began to meet in person again. Since the family of sister Sun who started the Bible study group, moved back to China a few years ago, we changed to meet at another sister’s restaurant. A few years have gone by, unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the restaurant was closed. So, we switched to online gathering. Since young unbelieving mothers were reluctant to go online, we only had four or five sisters. Recently, because sister Sun’s sons have returned to Germany to go to university, she has also stayed for the time being. Since her return, our bible study group has been meeting in person, taking turns in some sister’s place. Since the meeting time has been changed, some mothers can also participate. There is a sister who has a part-time job. Now whenever we have meeting, she also applied for that half-day leave to attend our meeting. A seeker gave birth to a second child a few months ago, and the baby was born prematurely. She herself experienced heavy bleeding during delivery, as if on the verge of death. Now her body is slowly recovering, and the baby went to a check-up recently. When she heard the doctor announce that there was nothing wrong with the baby, she was so excited that she burst into tears. She is now actively participating in Bible studies. Although she admits that there is a god, she is not yet sure who he is. She is willing to continue to seek this God. A sister’s mother moved in with her daughter’s family during the pandemic due to divorce. Although she is also a Christian, she was reluctant to attend our meeting every time her daughter went online. Now that we meet in person, she is very willing to come to the meeting with her daughter. In addition to Bible study meetings, because Sister Sun drives to church every Sunday, she also brings the other two sisters who usually do not go to Sunday services. Thank the Lord for bringing Sister Sun back, because of her loving dedication, the mothers in our Bible study group are once again active!

        Thank God that Giessen Fellowship held two orientation activities, both of which were attended by several students. At the second event, two new students who had Covid-19 came to our meeting instead of quarantine at home thinking that Germany was open with Covid-19 measures. We are thankful that they didn’t infect us. Recently, an exchange student also came. Since her teacher and classmate had told her to go to church in China, she came to our church service as soon as she arrived. One of the German sisters, who is retired and a former teacher, is willing to help students learn German through Bible reading. The sister in charge of the fellowship introduced two new students to her. Thanks to this sister who was eager to help students. She also used to go to the Chinese Bible study group in nearby city to help teach German.

        Several parents of the fellowship took their children to learn musical instruments from a German music teacher, and she was very active in arranging rehearsals for the children, so that we could have the children’s performance at the Christmas party. We are also preparing for this year’s physical Christmas party.

        Thank God that our Cantonese Bible Study group has also started a physical and online gathering! People who didn’t attend online meetups before now come to meetup in person as well. Originally, physical meetings were mainly for brothers and sisters living in Frankfurt, but since sisters in other cities are willing to participate online, we first have a meal and then invite online sisters to join the meeting. Thankful to one of the brothers in charge, he took in a recent graduate who did not find a job last year to live in his apartment. After a long period of job search, he found a job before the visa was about to expire. Since he lived in the brother’s place, he also knew some Christians and participated in some fellowship activities. Now he also participates in our Bible study because he is a Malaysian Chinese and can also speak Cantonese.

Thanksgiving and prayer items:

  1. Thank God for counting God’s blessings on Thanksgiving!
  2. Thank God for leading sister Sun of Aschaffenburg back from China and actively caring for the mothers in that place!
    Pray that the faith of believers will be strengthened and that God-seeking mothers will know the true God and receive salvation!
  1. Thank God for the German teacher for helping students learn German and evangelizing to them!
  2. Pray that the Lord will help us prepare for Christmas service and attract new students to this evangelistic meeting!
  3. Thanks for God’s protection so that the elders in the Bible reading class are happy to read God’s Word!
  4. Thank God that the student taken in by the brother found a job and are willing to attend fellowship meetings! Pray that the Lord will draw him to receive salvation soon!
  5. Thank God for brothers and sisters who have an opportunity to read this letter and thank you for your continuous support and prayers!

        May we count God’s blessings and give glory to God!

Serving Him,
Karen Tang
