update summer 2011
Wow, three months has passed for my home assignment year. These pass three months were full of conferences, HAMS, summer camp, personal retreat for refreshment, and trips. It was great seeing friends, high school friends, and meeting new friends. I was also encouraged by a few younger brothers and sisters expressing their call to go into the missions.
I thank God for all of you who had been patient with my adjusting life back in San Francisco and so many of you had shown your love and care for me. Life seems to begin to settle and finally feel like I’m back!
Now, apart from resting, I am preparing for sharing in different churches, enrolling in a counseling class which I think is much needed for ministry, spending time with my parents, calling up people whom I had lost contact in the past few years, and joining the after school ministry in my home church.
Once again, thank you for your continuous support and prayers.
Please continue to pray for the people in Taiwan that they will be freed from the bondage of idol and ancestor worship, and come to know Christ.
Please pray for my preparation and sharing so that people will have a better sense of what the spiritual situation is like in Taiwan.
Please pray for my parents’ salvation. Pray that they would accept Christ this year.

心底裏的期待
心底裏的期待, 期待他們,還有她跟她的家人能早日信主, 也有她的和她的和她的...讓我們一起來敬拜讚美, 一起來過生活, 是那失去已久的家園嗎? 那已不能再重現的家園是怎樣的? 到底是像森林還是像花園? 可能比較像森林,因為也有很多不同的野獸在其中. 不過, 還有很多花呢? 一片又一片的花圃草地.哇,那是多麼的美呀!唔,應該是怎樣的呢? 兩者皆是?! 怎麼會從寫人變成家園呢? 難道心底的期待其實是那永不朽壞的家園? 沒有哭泣,沒有煩惱,沒有生病,只有幸福,只有歡笑. 碧玉牆,玻璃海,珍珠門...然而,這一切又怎能與祢相比? 祢的美祢的善祢的榮耀...讓我再想像一下, 我不懂怎麼用言語來表達...心底的空隙就讓祢來填滿吧!

Update 12 2010
A kid who just started coming to our children’s gathering on Saturday asked me on 12/25 if there will be a Santa Claus. I answered “no”. She immediately said, “Today is Christmas and there should be a Santa Claus.” It is common in Taiwan that many kids only know and think that Santa Claus is the reason for Christmas. Thank God that this Christmas, all the churches, total seven join together for an evangelistic outreach for two nights. It was on Friday and Saturday nights outdoor. Even though it was very cold, many people came and many, mostly teenagers or younger, came forward at the end. Please pray for the follow-up.
Qidu is a place full of temples and with cultures that people worship idols and ancestors every day. Praise God that through several different means that we get to know some of the people in the community. Every Tuesday afternoon, we have a beading class and many ladies came and new people kept coming even though some stopped coming because of work. For the past year, we kept visiting these ladies at their homes and telling them about Jesus. However, sometimes it is discouraging because they have not yet wanting to receive Jesus Christ. Why so hard? One of the reasons is because most of them do ancestor worship. They believe that if they do not worship their ancestors, they will be cursed. The oldest son is the one who inherit the responsibility to worship ancestor, but the wife is the main person who handles all the worship. So, it takes a lot of courage for the wife to “rebel” against her husband to accept Christ. Please pray that God will raise up brothers to reach out to these husbands.
Every Wednesday afternoon, we have an art class for elementary school students. We share with them bible stories during the first 20 minutes of class. Again, these children do not have the freedom to come to church on Sunday because of their families. Their parents would not let them to come even if these children want to know more about Jesus. However, praise God that a few of these children started to come to our children’s gathering every Saturday two months ago. Please pray that these children will change their behavior because of Jesus and their parents will see their changes and realize that Jesus is the Only one true God.
In addition to reaching out to ladies and children in the community, we have a few ladies, youth, and children who have been coming to Qidu Gospel Center for the past four to five years. Please pray that these people will see Jesus Christ as the Lord of their lives, not just a small part of their lives. The youth and children are mostly from dysfunctional families and thus have not received love in their families. Most of them have very low self-esteem and could not see the future in their lives. Praise God that recently I see changes in these children that one of them is wanting to be a missionary in the future and the other wanting to be a pastor. Pray for the youth and children that they continue to grow in Christ and really see God’s love and that each one of them is precious in God’s eyes.
We praise God that for the past few months a lady came and has been fervently seeking God. She had a hard life and realized that God has been calling her through her aunt and other people. Praise God that she was baptized this Christmas and pray for her growth.
Thank you again for your support and prayers for all these people. They really need God. We continuously ask God to have mercy on them and take away the veil on the eyes so that they can see God is the Only One true God.

神在作工
我們已將上課的地點從一位學生的家換成在教會舉行. 想不到有好幾位學生依然有來. 雖然6月是串珠班暑假前的最後一個月, 每星期仍然有新的學生來到. 到七月, 我就跟個別的學生上課, 地點是我家, 這樣, 就更能與她們建立關係.在這些的個別的時間, 我能更認識她們, 知道她們的事情和讓她們更認識我. 發現有一位學生的親戚是基督徒, 但她自己的家人不是基督徒. 另外一位有基督徒的朋友. 這些的發現讓我看見我們不是孤單的在這裡作工, 而神是有一直在這裡作工, 祂也愛這裡的人.
想到神在作工,想到去6月初的七堵聯合禱告會. 一位牧師和我們分享到神在七堵區的工作. 這一兩年內, 神在政府幾個不同的部門內安放了祂的兒女, 讓一些基督徒的工作能夠更容易. 在七月底及八月頭在基隆市的一些教會聯合所有基隆的教會來舉辦一個年度節慶, 當中有接力敬拜, 有行軍禱告, 有探訪...我們教會在當中也有參與各方面的服事, 請代禱.
過去一星期在內壢參加一個英文夏令營.這英文營是由一群徒美國Ohio州的大學生來教英文. 有分五班, 我就幫忙第5班, 最大班. 這班的英文程度有幾位學生的英文非常好, 而有些卻有很多生字都不會.所以程度都參差不同.我們有很多的個別的教導.到第3天開始就看到他們的進展. 同時間, 也跟他們建立關係, 能得知道他們的背境. 晚上也有機會到某些學生的家裏探訪. 在我們接觸的學生與家長發現他們很多都沒有接觸過基督.現在這個英文營就是他們第一次的接觸. 我們就將所有的資料交在當地的一位宣教士, 她剛來內壢幾個月也在開拓教會. 請為她多祈禱.

從相遇到相識, 期待再進一步
她們, 因有興趣學習串珠而來到.本來對她們一無所知, 慢慢對她們有更多的認識. 本是客客氣氣的交談, 現卻會撒嬌, "老師, 怎麼這個我做不出來, 拆了很多次又重做, 還是不行!"
她, 在這裡長大結婚生子, 一直都沒有離開過. 自小就跟家人常常去廟拜拜. 長大後更常常參加慈濟的講座,在慈濟做義工.
她, 台北人, 大學時期有去過教會, 聽過耶穌. 後來結婚搬到這裡.因丈夫家都是拜拜的, 就沒有再去教會.
她, 從泰國來, 身邊的朋友都是拜拜的,就跟著去, 是要求平安.
她, 生活艱難,要照顧一個過動孫, 覺得信耶穌好,但不能信, 因先生不允許.
她, 大家庭,每天忙得不可開交, 找她不容易.但有時會出現一陣子就要離開.
她, 家裏有一個大媽祖. 但人很開朗. 有一賣火鍋料的攤位, 每天也是忙.
她, 家中的長輩,每天要幫忙帶孫女,有時就會推車賣粽子.
她, 從大陸嫁過來,每天就上班下班. 媽媽是基督徒. 可能見到她的機會不多.
她, 現在沒有上班,所以很多時間串珠. 但對耶穌沒有興趣.
我, 願能再更深一步的認識她們. 究竟她們的心在那裡. 求主讓我可以看見, 以至能將她們帶到祢的面前.

熟識但又陌生
這個星期很開心因為回家與家人團聚, 同時也見到很多朋友. 剛回到時, 感覺有點陌生. 雖然很多東西地方都沒有變,但卻好似很遙遠.要慢慢從記憶中拾回以前的片段. 有時還感覺自己是否真的回來了. 還是只不過是在做夢.今天有機會開朋友的車, 去到東灣那邊, 去的時候感覺還不太踏實, 不過回程時就開始就開得更順暢了. 終於回來了!
