中文 Vanity or Significant

Recently, I was at a small town in Malaysia called ‘Yong Peng’. I was en-route to Kuala Lumpur, but the coach I was in decided to pull over so that we could have lunch at this popular hawker centre. While I was ordering my lunch, a Singaporean woman near me collapsed and was unconscious. The people around her tried various methods to revive her but to no avail. A westerner who was there even tried using cardiopulmonary resuscitation but she was still unconscious. She was slowly turning black. The local police came and proclaimed her dead. I wish I’d had the faith to raise her from the dead and declare the testimony in this newsletter. What a wonderful testimony that would  make, but I had to admit, I did not have that faith. I could only watch helplessly as the police cordoned off the area of incident. I continued with my journey towards Kuala Lumpur. It was a long ride. A most thought-provoking, long ride.

James wrote, “What is life? Life is but a vapor. It is here today and gone tomorrow…” The preacher said in his book, Ecclesiastes, that “all is vanity.” Is everything truly vain? Are our lives in vain or could there be something more than this? Can our lives be worth the living? Is it possible that we can move from mundane and mediocre to being significant? My mind races back to different times during the history of the church where a single person or a group of individuals decided to put their lives in the hands of a living God and the Lord did, indeed, raise them up in their generation to be significant. The advance of Christianity is essentially the story of how God has used young men and women to make a difference in this dying world. As I thought through these things, the torch seems to be passing to us. Are we ready to run with the gospel?

In 1729, the Moravians would begin a prayer meeting for world missions that went non-stop for a hundred years!

In 1783, God raised William Carey, to challenge Christians of his generation to see a bigger world. It was this this young pastor that preached the thought provoking message, “attempt great things for God and expect great things from God!” Later this young pastor would become a missionary to the Indian subcontinent and become known as the father of modern missions.

Can this generation be significant? Yes they can in the hands of an almighty God. We can expect great things from God and we can attempt great things for God!

In 1806, The Haystack Prayer Meeting at Williams College was the spark that lit the mission movement in the U.S. This prayer meeting would eventually send out thousands of missionaries from the U.S. to the unreached. The American Bible Society was a result of this prayer meeting.

In 1840, Dr David Livingstone heard missionary to Africa, Robert Moffat, say that at dusk he could look inland and “see the smoke of a thousand villages” without the gospel. And in 1841, Livingstone changed his life’s focus and went to Africa.

In 1850, teenager Hudson Taylor committed his life to serve Christ in China and four years later, Taylor left England and would later found the China Inland Mission. The influence of Taylor’s life continues to be felt throughout China today.

In 1882, D.L. Moody preached in Cambridge and a revival for missions swept through the place. Among those who committed their lives to Christ at Moody’s meetings was a young athlete named C.T. Studd. He gave up his huge inherited fortune to finance his missions work and later began the World Evangelization Crusade.

In 1933, Dawson Trotman founded the Navigators.

In 1944, Billy Graham and Torrey Johnson, a young evangelist and a young pastor, formed Youth for Christ.

In 1951, a young seminary student, Bill Bright, started Campus Crusade for Christ.

The list just goes on and on of ordinary people in the hands of an extraordinary God. We are living in perilous times. The world is crying out for a savior. We have been passed the torch. Can our lives be significant? Yes, we can, but only in the hands of an almighty God. My friends, today, we are living in unprecedented times. The Lord is opening tremendous doors. We need to pray like never before. We cannot do it alone and the Lord is asking you to be that person that He can use. It is truly our honor that we can stand with all of you to reach this generation for Christ. Keep being significant.

未開發國家

前陣子我在馬來西亞往檳城的途中，巴士在一個叫Yong Peng的小城稍停留，讓大家下來在當地有名的小吃區用午餐。就在我點餐之時，身旁有位新加坡籍婦女突然昏倒，隨後失去知覺。她身邊許多試了各種方法急救，想使她恢復知覺，但是都白費力氣。甚至還有西方人士以心肺復甦術急救，亦未見效。該婦女臉色逐漸發黑，等到警方到來時，逕行宣佈死亡。我希望自己當時有足夠信心，跳出來行死裡復生的奇蹟。這樣，我現在可以分享的就是榮神的神蹟見證。但老實說，我當時信心實在不夠。只能在旁默不出聲，呆看警方圍上這起意外事件的 封鎖線。後來我繼續搭巴士前往檳城。途中的我感慨萬千，更加深旅途漫長難熬。

雅各書四章14節說：「你們的生命是甚麼呢？你們原來是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。」傳道書裡的先知也說：「一切都是虛空。」真的是這樣嗎？ 我們的年歲真的是虛空的虛空？還是有更上層的意義呢？生命值得努力活出意義嗎？有可能將平凡的世俗提昇得有意義嗎？一連串的問題，不禁將我的思緒拉回教會歷史裡各個世代。想起不同時期中，不論是單獨一人或一羣人決心將自己交在大能的神手中。賜生命的主也的確讓他們活出不同於該世代的意義與氣度。基督教世界得以擴展，就是靠這些年輕男女願為主所用，為必死的世界注入活水泉源。想到別人，看看自己。現在，宣揚的使命火炬已交在我們的手裡，我們準備好為福音開跑了嗎？

1729年，Moravians教派舉辦了場禱告會，開啓後來綿延一百餘年的世界宣道風潮。

1783年，神感動William Carey，鼓勵當時的基督徒定睛在更寬廣的世界。這位年輕牧師傳講發人深省的信息“為主做不凡的工，主便會賜下不凡的果效”。他後來前往印度地區宣教，成為現代宣教運動之父。

當今世代的我們，也能效法十八世紀的基督徒嗎？當然可以，在神沒有不能成就的事。我們立志為主做大工，祂便會成就不凡的大事。

1806年在美國Williams College舉行的Haystack禱告會，點燃了美國宣教運動的火花。之後數以千計的宣教士前往世界各福音未竟之地。美國聖經學會就是該次禱告會後成立的。

1840年，李文斯敦聽到宣教士Robert Moffat分享的非洲事工。Moffat 提及在傍晚時分放眼望去，上千個村落炊烟繚繞的景色，提醒他福音未到之地之廣大。次年，李文斯敦便決定以非洲宣教為一生之職志。

1850年，當時還未成年的戴德生已決志到中國為主作工。四年後他如願離開英國前往中國。隨即創辦內地會。戴德生一生對中國奉獻的影響力，仍延續至今日。

1882年，慕迪向劍橋學生傳講宣道概念，後來宣教運動便在當地復興。當時受感動的一羣年輕人中有位C.T. Studd，他自願放棄大筆遺產財富，轉而用在他參與的宣教事工。就是後來的“世界宣教運動”。

1933年， 道生卓門創立福音機構“基督教導航會”。

1944年，年輕佈道家葛理翰與牧師強生，共同創立“青年歸主”。

1951年， 當時還是神學生的白利得，創辦了“學園傳道會”。

舉凡類似的例子，不勝枚舉，平凡的人將自己交在超凡的神手中。在此危急的世代，這世界在迫切呼求一位救主。傳承的火炬已經交棒到我們手上，我們可以活出有意義、有影響力的生命嗎？可以的，只要把自己交在全能神的手中。我的朋友們，今天我們活在一個前所未有的時代，主正為我們開出許多我們意想不到的門，我們更要熱切極力的禱告。我們沒有人能夠獨力承當，主正呼召你成為他所能使用的那個人。我們何等榮幸與你們並肩同工，向這世代傳講耶穌。讓我們不間斷，努力活出有意義的人生。

中文 IT and Sponsors!

Cambodia Christian School

Network (CCSN)

IT is happening. Mark was in Cambodia in mid-July to tell the parents of Rongko’s 12th grade class about IT. He brought back copies of the booklets describing IT – one of which is now in my hands. IT has been in planning and preparation since 2006. IT is bringing many changes to a rural community. IT is leading people to Jesus.

What is IT?

IT is the Institute of Technology at Rongko. Classes begin on October 4. Students who would not have been able to obtain advanced education in the past will now be able to get a Bachelor’s Degree in several areas – English, Information Technology, Business Administration, Agricultural Technology, and Agricultural Economics. Students are anxiously waiting.

Pray with us as the final details come together and as IT opens the doors of hope to Cambodia

Children’s Homes

(Partnership with  NHO)

God is good!

In May, Mark was at GA611 church in Hong Kong. While there, he felt led to speak to the people about Cambodia. As a result, 19 people/couples (so far) have decided to sponsor 29 Cambodian children within NHO. Praise God and thank you GA611! Welcome to the Raising Kids sponsorship family!

I am so joyful in knowing that 29 more children have people who are praying for them and providing for their needs. Before this happened only four children at the Battambang home were sponsored. Now, every child currently at the home (actually every child currently within NHO) has a sponsor. This is an answer to prayer!

Children are always arriving at the children’s homes of our partner ministries in Myanmar, India and Cambodia. Actually, at the moment, there are approximately 90 children in Myanmar and one in India who are waiting for their sponsors. In India, we also need approximately 14 educational supporters for the children.  Please continually pray with me for more sponsors to join Raising Kids so that these 91 children (and any child arriving in any of the three countries) will have someone who is specifically praying and providing for them and their needs. I know that God will answer those prayers.

IT正在進行！七月中, Mark來到柬埔寨，向Rongko 十二年級學生的家長介紹IT。他帶來許多份說明IT的小冊子－－現在我手上正好有一本。IT的規劃與籌備是從2006年開始的，目前已在 鄉村社區帶來許多的改變。 IT正帶領人們走向耶穌。

甚麼是IT？IT是位於Rongko的科技專科學校，十月四日即將開課。學生以往無法取得高等學歷，但從現在開始，他們可以取得英文、資訊科技、商業管理、農業科技、及農業經濟的大學學位。學生殷切期待進入IT就讀。

現在最後細節已進入整合之際，IT的創立正為柬埔寨開啟希望之門，請與我們一同禱告。

兒童之家 （與 NHO 合作）

神真美好

五月時,，Mark在香港GA611教會分享，覺得神要他告訴會眾關於柬埔寨的事工與需要，結果，截至目前為止，已有十九人／夫婦決定贊助二十九名住在HNO新盼望兒童之家的柬埔寨兒童。讚美主！也感謝GA611教會。 歡迎加入贊助“栽培兒童”(Raising Kids)的行列！

得知二十九名兒童都有了贊助者，為他們禱告並提供生活所需，我心中感到無比喜悅。在此之前，只有在Battambang 的四名兒童得到贊助。如今，NHO所有的兒童都有了贊助人。這是禱告蒙了應允。

兒童都是先抵達位於Myanmar、印度和柬埔寨我們合作機構所辦的兒童之家。目前Myanmar約有九十名兒童、印度有一位兒童正等待贊助人。在印度，我們還需要大約十四位教育贊助者。請繼續和我一起禱告，有更多贊助人加入“栽培兒童”，使這九十一名兒童（還有日後來到這三個國家的兒童之家的孩子們）都有贊助人，專門為他們禱告和提供生活所需。我相信主會應允這些禱告。

中文 Sowing Seeds

This month, we went with Pastor Mark, brothers and sisters from Hong Kong GA611 and Malaysia GA611 to Shigaze and Namco for prayerwalking. On the way, whenever we passed by the key places, we would stop and talk to people about the Good News – even when we were having lunch on the road. People would stop and share food with us and we would share the Good News with them. Most of them have never heard of the Good News. We are very excited to be the first sowers!!!

When we came back to Lhasa, we invited about ten family representatives to come to celebrate the ten-year new life anniversary. This is the first time in history we had open worship. With the GA611 Malaysia’s worship team, the preaching by Pastor Zhou from Hong Kong, the speech by Pastor Mark and the ministry from other brothers and sisters, the Holy Spirit was moving among the families. They were very touched and willing to accept Jesus as their Savior.

We are very thankful for what SEAPC has done for the last ten years. We are also very thankful for what other churches, brothers and sisters have offered for Touching Hearts. That day we believed that God was reminding us how important teamwork is. May the Lord bless those who fear him with wealth and riches, so that they can give them to the poor in health and spirit!!!!

西藏“動心事工”

這個月，我們和馬可牧師及來自香港、馬來西亞GA611的兄弟姐妹們到Shigaze 和 Namco作行走禱告prayerwalking。 沿途，凡是主要地點我們都會停下腳步和當地人分享好消息－福音，就連午餐時間也不放過。 那裡的人會停下來和我們分享食物，我們則和他們分享好消息。大部份當地人從來沒有聽福音，我們很興奮能成為他們第一位播種者。

當我們回到拉薩，我們邀請約十個家庭代表來一起慶祝新生活十週年慶。這是有史以來第一次的公開禮拜。在馬來西亞GA611團隊帶領的敬拜、香港趙牧師的佈道、馬可牧師的演講、及其他弟兄姐妹的服事中，聖靈在這些家庭中運行。他們都深受感動，願意接受耶穌為他們的救主。

我們非常感激SEAPC 十年來的貢獻。我們也很感謝其他教會以及各地兄弟姐妹們給予「動心事工」的支持。那天，我們相信主在提醒我們團隊的重要性。願主保守那些敬畏神而奉獻金錢的人，使他們願能繼續為那些在健康上與靈裡貧乏的人付出。

中文 Hearing the Word

The Word is heard from a classroom to an apprentice shop, to a household; from mentors and students, to teacher and disciples, to father and children; from a student hearing the Word, to a servant, to a soldier, to a son hearing the same Word; from a son hearing the Word, to one of many sons who are all in one accord in one place hearing the same Word from a common Father; from a God-fearing individual soldier, hearing His commands, to a specialized individual who is part of a body — the God-fearing great army, hearing the same commands.

How are you hearing the Word? How have you been hearing the same Word? We have been on Psalms 112 for many months now. As I experience the changes in roles and relationships, I’m hearing the same Word birthed faith upon faith, works upon works and blessings upon blessings. To experience more of the abundance of the blessed state of the righteous in your life, in order to be a living testimony, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God, you need to be who you are ­— who our God above all Gods, our Father, made you to be — More.

What does “more” mean? “More,” as I come to understand, includes being more than what we are used to. If I am used to being a servant to a Lord, I need to renew my mind and be a son to a Heavenly Father. Does not our prayer start with “Our Father in heaven?” If we are used to being a soldier or a general, but not a son nor a father, then we realize only part of His perfect will for us. We only hear part of what His Word is saying. Our faith is only partly birthed by a partial hearing of the Word. Our blessed state is only partial.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your  bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.And do not be conformed to this world, but be  transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Now, it is a sacrifice — a living sacrifice — because we, the living breathing flesh-bound, are the sacrifice! We have to sacrifice what we are used to and step into a role which we might not be familiar, had stumbled over in the past, or are generally lacking in. Our flesh abhors that. Yes, it is a sacrifice and it is a sacrifice worth making, especially in the areas of your life in which the Holy Spirit is prompting you. Know that His Grace is sufficient. His blessings are abundant. Be more of who you are with His Grace and be more blessed.

從一間教室，到一家學徒店，再到一個家庭：他們在傾聽神的道；從導師和學生，到老師和門徒，到父親和孩子們：他們也在聽道。 從一個學生聽到神的道，到一個僕人，到一位軍人，再到另一個兒子聽到同樣的道，又到一群同處一地同心合意傾聽父神話語的兒子們中的一人。 從一位敬畏神的軍人傾聽祂的誡命，到神的身體 —— 就是那敬畏神的大軍 —— 中的一員，他也聽到相同的誡命。

你怎樣聽神的道？你一直以來怎樣聽神同樣的道？我們這幾個月都在讀詩篇 112 章。當我經歷到角色與關係的改變，我也聽到同樣的道在幫助產生更多信心，在事工中果效更大，使祝福更多增添。如果你想要在生活中經歷到更多神的祝福及祂的公義，所以你可以成為活生生的見證，可以察驗何為神的善良純全可喜悅的旨意 ，那麼你需要成為我們的父神所造，合祂心意的人—— 而且更多。

什麼是“更多”？ 我現在了解“更多”包括我們要超過從前所習慣的。如果我以前是主的僕人，我現在需要更新心意， 成為天父的兒女。我們的禱告不是從“我們在天上的父”開始的嗎？ 如果我們習慣做士兵或將軍，而不是兒子或父親的角色，那麼我們只瞭解神對我們完美旨意的局部。我們只聽到神對我們說話的一小部份。我們的信心只是建照在我們所聽到片段神的道上，我們所得到的祝福也是部分的。

所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的。你們如此事奉，乃是理所當然的。不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。（羅馬書十二章1、2節）

是的，這是犧牲，這是獻上活祭，因為我們的血肉之軀就是祭！我們必須放棄從前所習慣的，踏入新的角色，即使我們可能不熟悉，在過去曾經跌倒，甚至能力不夠，我們的肉體厭惡如此去行——沒關係，這樣的犧牲是值得我們付上代價的，特別是聖靈催促你去做的事。 要知道祂的恩典夠我們用，祂的祝福滿溢。因著祂的恩典成為比你現在“更多”的人，接受祂更多的祝福。

中文 The Kingdom Key

The Kingdom Key

OK, I have figured it out. I am coming to 62. I have been married to my first love for 40 years and have two sons who have completed their college educations and are doing well in their professions. My grandson owns whatever was left of my heart. My daughters-in-law are fantastic. I am the most thankful man you will ever meet and I have figured out the combination to success in life.

This is a key often overlooked in the business of everyday living. Life comes at you fast these days. There are challenges on every side. Technology has made us a society of trivia addicts whose computers, Blackberries, and iPhones tell us all we need to know on every subject in four lines of near microscopic text which, if followed carefully, will allow us entrance into the rat race. Just remember the words of the sage, “Even if you win the Rat Race, you are still a rat.”

But, I have boiled it all down to one question. If you can answer this question properly, you will advance to the next board without penalty. Once you have this key, you will never need another. When the light dawned on me, I thought, “Man that is so obvious I am sure I need to share it with others.”

This could be a cure for both domestic and foreign policy for nations. This could save billions in defense spending and pork-barrel local projects. If we can just get this key distributed to neighbors and nations, we will be able to usher in a new era of abundance for all.

I have just finished a five-week, seven nations trip. I told myself at the beginning of the year that I would travel less. Forget that. That is part of the key.

Right after I wrote about having no more funds, a couple in Singapore offered $100,000 to buy two homes in Lawrenceville to rent out, creating some cash flow for SEAPC. An old friend in the same city donated $100,000 for completion of the Hope Garden in Laos and a major Singapore church contacted us about the University and Siem Reap Children’s home. Total gifts offered $370,000. But, none of it helps our payroll cash flow situations.

The Lord touched the hearts and made it possible for some of our longest-standing donors to remember us with offerings and special gifts, and here we are in August. I thank God for each person who decided to help. That is another part of the key.

While in Tibet, I was invited to a very important meeting. It was very tense because the Beijing leadership has sent a new administrator to the region to be sure there is no uprising as they install a new Head Lama at the Potala Palace on the 75th birthday of the Dali Lama. Talk about a rat race. There were tanks in the streets and columns of trucks miles long. The atmosphere was very tense and our friends at the hospital were taking a lot of heat because of the Touching Hearts project and the way we are meeting and networking so many Tibetans. Because we bring life, we can mobilize a very loyal following.

I could sense the tension and, during my morning devotions, my heart was quickened when I read:

Psalm 112:6 “Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.” That is another part of the key.

The meeting started “hot” but cooler heads prevailed and I heard their plea for control while this man is in town. No problem. Our teams were headed to very remote areas to do prayer strategies. There were no conflicts or problems. The papers were in order and we celebrated the Fourth of July at the world’s highest lake and then came down 4,000 feet to Lhasa for the Celebration of Life – a wonderful worship time led by the 611 churches from Hong Kong and Malaysia. I was in a meeting in Laos where a special assistant to the government explained to me that, as she prayed, the Lord had opened a way into the very heart of that nation’s communist party. On the same stop, a Christian brother explained to me how we need specific prayer as he is counseling the government on the establishment of their central bank. These two are turning the key.

I stopped in Cambodia for a few days to announce the opening of our Institute of Technology at Rongko and to take questions from parents of our freshman class. These farmers make $200 a year and the school fees are $350 so the question was obvious. “How are we going to pay?” I wish you could have been there to see their faces as I explained that the church in Singapore was going to give 200 scholarships so their kids start with the bill paid, but have to maintain levels academically and socially to keep the scholarship. Our school Superintendant declared that Jesus had answered their prayers. He is a really good key turner.

So, without further delay, let me give you the key: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.”

“Many thanks” to all of you who have redoubled your efforts in prayer and giving, and who believe, with us, that Jesus will make a way. God is on the throne, the devil is a liar, and faith is the victory.

天國鑰匙

OK，行， 我終於明白了。我快滿 62 歲，跟我的初戀情人結婚 40 年，兩個兒子都大學畢業， 事業有成。 我孫子是我的心肝寶貝，我的媳婦們都很棒。我會是你所遇見最感恩的人，而且我明白了生活成功的解鎖密碼。

在今日忙碌的生活中，我們常常會忽略到這一個關鍵點。現代生活步調快速，每天要面對無數的挑戰。電腦、黑莓（Blackberry) 、iPhone 這些高科技的產物，可以用短短數行的文字告訴我們所需要知道的任何一件事，這樣的結果讓人們對瑣事上癮。如此下來，我們會進入那種像“老鼠賽跑”(Rat Race) 一樣激烈但是毫無意義的競爭。 只是你要記得智者的話：“ 就算你贏了老鼠賽跑, 你還是一隻老鼠”。

我把這一切總歸成一個問題。 如果你答對了, 你就晉級到下一輪，不用受罰。一但你有了這個答案，你就什麼都不缺。當初我一想到這點，我馬上的反應是 “ 哇，這太明顯了， 我想我需要和大家分享”。

這個答案可以幫助國家解決內政外交的問題，這個答案可以節省花在國防以及地方政府公共方案上億的金錢。如果我們將這個答案傳播及萬邦萬國，我們就可以進入一個萬民都富足的新紀元。

我剛剛花了五個禮拜的時間去了七個國家。今年年初時我告訴自己我要少花一些時間旅行，算了吧，不過這也是答案的一部份。

在我告訴大家我們經費短缺沒多久之後，有一對住在新加坡的夫婦捐了十萬美元買兩棟在 Lawrenceville 的房子，所以 SEPAC 可以把它們租出去，增加我們的現金流動。另外住在同一個城市的老朋友也奉獻了十萬美元來完成建造在寮國的希望之園 (Hope Garden)。還有一個新加坡大教會願意贊助大學和 Siem Reap 兒童之家。我們總共收到奉獻三十七萬美元。  可是，這些錢沒有解決我們薪資短缺的困境。

主感動人心，所以有些長期捐贈者以奉獻和特別禮物來支持我們的事工。這就是我們在八月的近況。我為每一位幫助我們的朋友感謝神。這是答案的另一部份。

當我在西藏時，有人邀請我去參加一個很重要的會議。當時的局勢很緊張，因為布達拉宮 (Potala Palace) 要在達賴喇嘛75 歲生日時設立一個新的喇嘛首領，所以北京當局派來一位官員來確保當地不會發生任何暴動。馬路上到處都是坦克車，軍用卡車排得好幾里長。 氣氛相當緊張，我們在醫院的朋友們也因為“動心事工”、 聚會方式、 以及我們在很多藏民之間建立關係網的緣故受到很大的逼迫。因為我們為人帶來生命，所以可以動員一群忠心跟隨者。

我可以感覺到那種緊張。當我在靈修讀到詩篇 112篇6至8節 時，我的心跳加快了：

他永不動搖，義人被記念直到永遠。

他必不怕兇惡的信息 。他心堅定，倚靠耶和華。

他心確 定 ，總不懼怕，直到他看見敵人遭報。

這也是答案的另外一部份。

會議開始時大家都很激動，不過很快就冷靜下來了。他們懇求當那個官員還停留在當地時，我們可以節制我們的活動。沒問題。我們的同工去偏遠地區進行禱告策略，沒有衝突也沒有任何問題發生。文件都處理就緒，我們就在全球最高的湖旁慶祝美國國慶，然後爬下4000 英尺到拉薩參加從香港和馬來西亞來的 GA611教會帶領的 Celebration of Life 敬拜讚美特會。 我在寮國的一個會議中，有一個政府的特助告訴我，當她在禱告時， 神就在共產黨官員的心中動工開路。當地還有一個基督徒弟兄解釋給我聽，因為他正在做政府建立中央銀行的顧問工作，我們如何需要為他特別禱告。這兩件事都在啟動答案之鑰。

我停留在柬埔寨的幾天裡，宣佈了我們位於 Rongko 的科技學院開幕，也回答新生父母們的問題。 這些農民父母一年收入兩百元，可是學費要三百五十元，所以他們的問題很明顯： 我們怎麼付得起？”我告訴他們：新加坡的一所教會願意提供 200 名獎學金來幫助支付帳單， 只要這些孩子們在學業及社交方面都能維持水準上的表現 －－ 哦，我真希望你們能看到他們聽到這個回答時臉上的表情！我們的校長當眾宣佈耶穌應允了他們的禱告。他是一個重要的關鍵者。

好了， 我也不要再弔胃口，現在我就給你這個關鍵答案：

你要專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明。

在你一切所行的事上，都要認定他，他必指引你的路。（箴言三章5、6節）

非常感謝所有為我們加倍代禱及奉獻的弟兄姊妹， 也謝謝那些與我們一起相信耶穌會為我們開路的朋友。  神在寶座上掌王權，  魔鬼是大說謊家， 信心必定得勝。
