基督教华侨布道会 2025年9月代祷信

親愛的代禱勇士: 主內平安! 非常抱歉,這封信的腹稿早已成型,卻因各種原因而耽誤到今天才動筆。不過有幾個好消息卻是在被耽誤的這段時間裡發生的,因此神的恩典讓我們稍感安慰,在這裡要極力訴說祂的大能。 下面讓我們一一道來。

It has been a rather difficult few months, or maybe three years, as I reflect on this topic of collaboration and partnership. I should have known it would be challenging, given my own complex background (I was raised in Taiwan and the U.S. After graduating from the university, I spent some time in Singapore studying about missions as well as working with mainland Chinese students.). Throwing into the mix, our family has been living in Ghana (West Africa) for almost 14 years.

November 2025 Jihad means Muslim holy war, and that is the biggest problem in Burkina Faso. It also means terrorism toward education, Christians, and even other Muslims. They kill, level villages, rape, etc. The result is that those who escape try to move to safer regions of Burkina Faso. The big problem is that safer regions are becoming less and less.

感謝神带领我们又进入新的一年!2026年仿佛才剛剛開始,不知不覺一個月卻已經過去了。我們加納教會的主任牧師每次在講道開始時都會提醒大家: “今天是今年的第多少天,你是怎樣使用你的時間的? (This is day ### of the year. What have you been doing with your time?)“ 願神幫助我們數算自己的日子,數算神的恩典,使我們更加忠心地敬拜他,服事祂。

親愛的ECM家人: 平安,春節快樂! 從美國向您問好! 我們在歐洲服事了四年多, 每年都在不同的團契與年輕人一起過聖誕節和新年。這次應女兒們的要求,去年底回美國兩個月過聖誕節和新年,休息和調整身心後再出發。四年多來第一次回美國過節,享受家庭團聚的溫暖,但心中也還惦記著在歐洲的「孩子」們。

Maria is a young woman, who like many typical young adults enjoys hanging out in coffee shops and bookstores. One day, she saw a book open on a shelf, and she was attracted to it because the cover was pink (her favorite color). She went over to it, started reading it, and thought the poetry on the pages was amazing and deep. She quickly closed the book so that she could see the title on the cover, only to be shocked and surprised. It was the Bible. She quickly closed it and walked away quietly and ashamed. Maria is from our province in Southeast Asia.

各位亲爱的家人们,主内平安!
搓绵扯絮的雪花,如玉屑纷飞,似琼花乱坠,须臾间科隆大地银装素裹,不由分说片刻将房屋与街道、树梢和绿草温柔地拥入怀中,把它们快快带入梦乡。雪,笼罩宁静的夜;月,忽隐忽现。沧桑歌声,引思乡……“我在南方想北方,想念灶坑烧热的炕,想爸沉默的惦念,想妈做的疙瘩汤。南方的雨太长,我想家乡的雪茫茫,等我年底挣够钱,再把我带回北方……”。

As I stepped into the year 2025, I carried the same enthusiasm many of us bring into a new year, with hopes for good health, plans for the future, and an unspoken assumption that life would continue as expected. I had no idea that the year would be a season of trials, stretching my faith in unexpected ways and teaching me to depend on the Lord more deeply than ever before.

大家好,我是陈默。2025年,我刚刚结束了在亚特兰大基督教会北堂的第二十二届“三福培训”。现在就借本次培训结合之后的几次探访经历,来分享我个人的几点感悟。
