三月代禱懇求

On Jan. 17, my coworker sister Dongmei and I left HK. We were excited to know the possibility to establish a charitable insitution in HK, where has strong support and freedom to develop His poor ministry for us in Shanghai. But beyond my thoughts, I didn't go back to Shanghai or hometown to spend Spring Day. He has been using every circumstance to let me know I should wait for Him at Shenzhen, where is very close to HK.

Last month He spoke to me through John 12:26 "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour." So the reason why I stay in Shenzhen now is to surrender to His will though I haven't completely understood.

Thanksgiving thing is that a young sister at Shenzhen MeiLin Church has been receiving me as her guest. Another thanksgiving is that He keeps me alert and fast for one meal each day since Feb. 10. For one day when helping that sister move, I ate something but no desire to too much. What I desire most is to understand His mid-term plan for the poor ministry and one-year plan for future HK True Light(John 1:9) Charitable Institution.

Recent challenges are about 2 issues. One is conflict between coworkers and their unbelieving or new-believing families. Coworker Dongmei is struggling with how to best serve Him in 2006 and keep balance between service and her family. Her new-believing husband is very busy with his online business and Sister Dongmei has to follow him around each day. Today her husband brought her to his hometown and try to worship idols. Please pray for coworker Dongmei's spiritual battle within family. There are 2 possible coworkers. One is Jessica in Shenzhen, who receives me as guest; another is Xuejun in shanghai. Both are singles sisters who desires to serve Him either part-time or full-time according to His calling.

Second is spiritual discernment. Last month one HK lady came to Shenzhen, where is very close to HK to meet with me. She also wants to serve the crippled, blind, poor,homeless, orphan, depressed ppl in urban cities of china. Yet after some talk and prayers, I found some problem in her faith background. She received teaching from extreme charistmatic church in HK. The false teachings of speaking tongue to have spirit-filled life might be one of most threatening powers to nowaday chinese churches in mainland and HK so far as we know and observe. ......

Somehow recent 2 challenges become pressure to me and motivation to seek His face as well. Yes, it is Him who makes every decision while what I lack is wisdom. There is a brother from HK who has shown some interest in helping with preparation of True Light charitable institution. He is a minister and goes to HK 宣道 church, where Pastor Teng, Jinhui used to sheperd. He also has a company in HK and Shenzhen. Part of their vision is charity too.

HK policy describes very detailed legal and tax-free business within such charitable institution. Besides charity, HK law supports church planting. That confirms the long-term vision of our poor ministry in shanghai - to help the homeless due to accident, nature disasters or sudden loss, the begging crippled and blind ppl, the depressed ppl etc.

As said in Jer 33:3 --Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not, I need to keep on calling Him. To start preparations, Shall we have 2 offices, one in shanghai and one in Shenzhen? How to build good relationship among co-workers? How close shall coworkers go to each other's families?

My shanghai home was kept by sister Xuejun while I am out of town. I am glad my landlord has built trust in His providence to my rent payments during past 1 and half year. He agrees that I can first pay off 2-month rent (1500RMB/month) in one week (from Jan. 27 to March 27).

After returning to Shanghai, we can discuss whether to lease his apt. in the future. (from March 27). I trust in His time and providence. If we decide to rent an office in shanghai, my coworker Xuejun and I would work and live there. And the office will be open to receive couples or sisters. He has given me faith in renting office. near metro which costs 2500RMB/month.
Thanks to Him..

Tomorrow my possible coworker Jessica has to move again. Please also pray for her relatioship with her unbelieving younger brother at Shenzhen. We temporarily live together but we have to move out tomorrow. We are praying for His will. Hope to know whether and when to rent an office in Shenzhen.
Sorry for any type or grammer errors in this email. Thank you for reading through my prayer requests. Your labor is not in vain, I pray and believe:)

2)感恩日誌

白鴿子 at 2006-03-11 13:08 周六

你的道在海中，你的路在大水中，你的腳蹤無人知道。-詩篇77：19

耶和華阿，我的心不狂傲，我的眼不高大。重大和測不透的事，我也不敢行。-詩131：1

3月4日發出代禱信，當個主日我來到一位肢體介紹的教會。早上八點到位於深圳西南端的海上世界附近，發現那裡很安靜。原來聚會沒那麼早，通常十點開始。讓我很驚喜的是小區的門衛非常歡迎，而且大家都知道那裡有教堂。是什麼樣的教會呢？挺好奇。9點半左右，陸續有人進來。這裡是蛇口國際學校，這個教會是公開的國際教會，第一堂是英文崇拜和講道，11點之後分組主日學。我們被安排到中文團契，崇拜的詩歌多取自讚美之泉，學習的內容有三組分慕道、初信和成長班--而我所在的一組在學習標杆人生。

英文崇拜結束，上帝即為我和JESSICA預備了臨時過渡的住處。這裡離蛇口國際崇拜的教會不遠，大約15分鐘車程。主日後有一位美國JOHN很感興趣乞討事工，他一直以來想關懷乞討的群體，但聽說其中有些職業騙子，因此希望和中國人一起合作。

今年四月中旬與八旬，會有兩對夫婦來上海。第一對在PA組織家庭營，是非常有經驗的基督徒婚姻輔導者。他們和內地一些教會已經有聖經輔導方面的合作同工。第二對夫婦也是透過網絡相識，妻子於加州國際神學院讀書，一直對網絡聖經輔導有負擔和興趣；她的丈夫是美國人，是全美HOMELESS無家可歸機構的負責人。他們將於八月來上海與我會面。

昨天DONGMEI姐妹開始起草真光機構的FAITH STATEMENT信仰立場。因着2月中旬開始有香港來洽談的合作者，我愈來愈發現及早起草信仰立場的重要性。任何的同工與金錢支持，都必須在信仰立場和背景上有相同的基礎和純正，否則將來會引起許多困惑甚至混亂。

目前已有一位香港幹事，接下來需要為目前三位幹事（香港JOSEPH，上海DONGMEI及我）之間的信仰立場與聖徒交通加油禱告，以避免有文化差異帶來的溝通障礙。DONGMEI比較注重人際關係，侍奉的風格是RELATIONSHIP-ORIENTED而JOSEPH比較GOAL/TASK-ORIENTED目標/事務導向，而我比較傾向後一種風格。希望今後主賜智慧，怎樣協調三位幹事的關係，靠着主竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心是關鍵。“若不同心，豈能同行呢？”

最近上海房東催交房租。我禱告下來，留在深圳的美意剛打開尚未完全清楚，因此不會那麼快地回上海。和JOSEPH的合作，不僅在真光機構的籌備，而且也在他們已經籌備完成開始運行的機構。他三月底會去北京拿慈善牌照，這樣我們可以一起在上海建立他們的分會，同時進行真光機構的籌備。

目前需要的供應，是上海三個月房租的供應（1。27-4。27共￥4500），以及離開上海期間兩個月的水電煤電話等日常消耗費用。上海的貓米是否要送人，等回上海才能決定，感恩的是終於有姐妹願意幫忙去探望貓米還有打掃房間，願主親自紀念他們的愛心。我個人在深圳的生活與侍奉，一直由上帝差遣‘小烏鴉’來按時供應，雖然不多但夠日用。至於深圳是否與何時需要籌備點，還在求問與等候中。他的意念高過人的意念，如果主許可，希望可以有教會支持一處免費的籌備辦公室，供JESSICA常住、DONGMEI和我來往上海-香港辦公、洽談與住宿、以及接待肢體。

今年籌備的事工重點是放在聖經輔導的學術交流與培訓，還是乞討流浪群體的慈善救助？仍需要主的進一步印證：聖經的印證、肢體的印證、環境的印證。願他賜予聰明和啟示的靈來照亮我的心眼，和眾聖徒一同明白主的心意和他這一年的計劃。 也請弟兄姐妹為每個相關的肢體、同工、機構祈禱，同有國度的胸懷，並在主的恩典憐憫中“我和我一家必要侍奉耶和華”。

關於網絡事工的感恩有很多。第一是為彩虹飛鴿網絡心理輔導站，目前服侍團隊在形成中，有三個小組，互助、代禱及輔導團隊；這個月主感動開設一間音樂治療BLOG作為輔導站的子站，用音樂進行網絡輔助治療。北京、天津以及海外先後有許多肢體紛紛表示有負擔和有興趣參與未來更多的搭配；第二是單身論壇終於開闢了一個小板塊，暫時放在基督徒生活網cclw.net上。已經有些單身肢體響應，並為此很喜悅，印證了的確是主親耳聽見‘馬其頓的呼聲。

北美萬維願意提供獨立20G Space. In the future, we can combine counseling, charity and Christian literature& art into this independant site. May God provide more tech workers and give us sound mind and unity in building this site.

以便以謝！

3)安靜獨處 白鴿子 at 2006-03-11 20:21

上帝看重的是器皿。人非聖潔，不能見主的面。每天清晨一醒來，第一個想到了耶穌和他天上的事，還是被事務煩擾心神不寧？求主給我和同工，包括DONGMEI，JOSEPH，還有未來可能會同工的薛君、JESSICA，有安靜的時間空間與神相處。保守我們看重和神的關係，超過任何關係與人事物，並因着常住在葡萄樹上靠他多結果子。那不僅有嘴唇頌讚的果子、福音的果子，也有聖靈的果子。若我們心裡常常被許多事思慮煩擾，以至於無法安靜聽他的道，就損失了上好的福分。但凡有個挫折、不如意，便象雞蛋殼那樣易碎與不堪一擊。

爭戰中更要求主給我們披戴全副屬靈軍裝。最近Xuejun薛君姐妹身體不好，常常一禱告就很疲倦；而我常感到噁心讀不進聖經；JOSEPH缺乏智慧來作很多地決策，也求主加給他體力面對日常的行政事物；DONGMEI的家需要平安，婆婆也需要儘快地丟棄以前的偶像崇拜;JESSICA今天身體很不舒服，中午從公司請假回家休息。

求主賜予他的公義作我們的護心鏡遮胸，用真理當作帶子束腰，用信德當作藤牌可以滅盡惡者一切的火箭。在這以外，用和平彼此聯絡。

求主保護我們和家人脫離一起的兇惡。阿門！願我們讀經祈禱和聖徒相通，都在他的恩典憐憫中得以順利進行，不受任何地攔阻。

５）轉折期的適應　2006-03-13 13:34

香港JOSEPH弟兄，他目前在一個轉折期。即他從前專注傳道而現在從事文化交流、慈善公益與工商界的聯絡，需要做很多的行政工作，也需要很多智慧集合大家的想法變成可行性計劃與方案。上個星期向他推薦一本HALF TIME人生下半場，希望一些聖經管理方面的書籍對他有切實的幫助。

深圳JESSICA姐妹，同樣地也在轉折期。以前生活方式是公司-回家和弟弟相處-詩班訓練與侍奉，現在和弟弟剛分開住，和我在蛇口臨時過渡。對前面的服侍方向不是很明確，也常惦記弟弟生活工作。但她很注重靈性的紮根，也希望有系統的聖經學習，願意在屬靈品格上多多被神塑造。

上海XUEJUN姐妹，她目前仍在老家浙江休養。最近身體很不好情緒容易低落。經過禱告與代禱，已經回復很多信心，看見‘聽命勝於獻祭’的寶貴。母親已從極度地反對態度中緩和了很多，她曾提及將來可能在慈善機構工作，母親沒有特別地反對。

上海DONGMEI姐妹，仍在等候神預備她的丈夫和家庭，支持她的侍奉。至於家人是否在她侍奉中具體參與，需要神給她聖經的亮光和引導。

至於我，神的意念高過人的意念，這句話在今年更深地體會了。先是神扭轉我原本回家過春節的計劃，然後更新我原本只在上海設立籌備點的想法。在深圳還是有很多不適應的部分，比如在上海每天早上有音樂敬拜，在深圳從1月底直到本月6號才開始有比較安靜的時空進行個人音樂敬拜。

在這個轉折期間，願天父的恩惠平安常與弟兄姐妹時時同在！願天父特別保守我們幾位同工常住在神的愛里，在至聖的真道上造就自己，仰望主耶穌的憐憫；也願我們每位身體強壯起來，正如靈魂興盛一樣；更願我們常常警醒禱告，免得入了迷惑。願上帝保護我們脫離一切的兇惡。奉耶穌基督的門禱告，阿門！
