三月代祷恳求

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)感恩日志

白鸽子 at 2006-03-11 13:08 周六

你的道在海中，你的路在大水中，你的脚踪无人知道。-诗篇77：19

耶和华阿，我的心不狂傲，我的眼不高大。重大和测不透的事，我也不敢行。-诗131：1

3月4日发出代祷信，当个主日我来到一位肢体介绍的教会。早上八点到位于深圳西南端的海上世界附近，发现那里很安静。原来聚会没那么早，通常十点开始。让我很惊喜的是小区的门卫非常欢迎，而且大家都知道那里有教堂。是什么样的教会呢？挺好奇。9点半左右，陆续有人进来。这里是蛇口国际学校，这个教会是公开的国际教会，第一堂是英文崇拜和讲道，11点之后分组主日学。我们被安排到中文团契，崇拜的诗歌多取自赞美之泉，学习的内容有三组分慕道、初信和成长班--而我所在的一组在学习标杆人生。

英文崇拜结束，上帝即为我和JESSICA预备了临时过渡的住处。这里离蛇口国际崇拜的教会不远，大约15分钟车程。主日后有一位美国JOHN很感兴趣乞讨事工，他一直以来想关怀乞讨的群体，但听说其中有些职业骗子，因此希望和中国人一起合作。

今年四月中旬与八旬，会有两对夫妇来上海。第一对在PA组织家庭营，是非常有经验的基督徒婚姻辅导者。他们和内地一些教会已经有圣经辅导方面的合作同工。第二对夫妇也是透过网络相识，妻子于加州国际神学院读书，一直对网络圣经辅导有负担和兴趣；她的丈夫是美国人，是全美HOMELESS无家可归机构的负责人。他们将于八月来上海与我会面。

昨天DONGMEI姐妹开始起草真光机构的FAITH STATEMENT信仰立场。因着2月中旬开始有香港来洽谈的合作者，我愈来愈发现及早起草信仰立场的重要性。任何的同工与金钱支持，都必须在信仰立场和背景上有相同的基础和纯正，否则将来会引起许多困惑甚至混乱。

目前已有一位香港干事，接下来需要为目前三位干事（香港JOSEPH，上海DONGMEI及我）之间的信仰立场与圣徒交通加油祷告，以避免有文化差异带来的沟通障碍。DONGMEI比较注重人际关系，侍奉的风格是RELATIONSHIP-ORIENTED而JOSEPH比较GOAL/TASK-ORIENTED目标/事务导向，而我比较倾向后一种风格。希望今后主赐智慧，怎样协调三位干事的关系，靠着主竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心是关键。“若不同心，岂能同行呢？”

最近上海房东催交房租。我祷告下来，留在深圳的美意刚打开尚未完全清楚，因此不会那么快地回上海。和JOSEPH的合作，不仅在真光机构的筹备，而且也在他们已经筹备完成开始运行的机构。他三月底会去北京拿慈善牌照，这样我们可以一起在上海建立他们的分会，同时进行真光机构的筹备。

目前需要的供应，是上海三个月房租的供应（1。27-4。27共￥4500），以及离开上海期间两个月的水电煤电话等日常消耗费用。上海的猫米是否要送人，等回上海才能决定，感恩的是终于有姐妹愿意帮忙去探望猫米还有打扫房间，愿主亲自纪念他们的爱心。我个人在深圳的生活与侍奉，一直由上帝差遣‘小乌鸦’来按时供应，虽然不多但够日用。至于深圳是否与何时需要筹备点，还在求问与等候中。他的意念高过人的意念，如果主许可，希望可以有教会支持一处免费的筹备办公室，供JESSICA常住、DONGMEI和我来往上海-香港办公、洽谈与住宿、以及接待肢体。

今年筹备的事工重点是放在圣经辅导的学术交流与培训，还是乞讨流浪群体的慈善救助？仍需要主的进一步印证：圣经的印证、肢体的印证、环境的印证。愿他赐予聪明和启示的灵来照亮我的心眼，和众圣徒一同明白主的心意和他这一年的计划。 也请弟兄姐妹为每个相关的肢体、同工、机构祈祷，同有国度的胸怀，并在主的恩典怜悯中“我和我一家必要侍奉耶和华”。

关于网络事工的感恩有很多。第一是为彩虹飞鸽网络心理辅导站，目前服侍团队在形成中，有三个小组，互助、代祷及辅导团队；这个月主感动开设一间音乐治疗BLOG作为辅导站的子站，用音乐进行网络辅助治疗。北京、天津以及海外先后有许多肢体纷纷表示有负担和有兴趣参与未来更多的搭配；第二是单身论坛终于开辟了一个小板块，暂时放在基督徒生活网cclw.net上。已经有些单身肢体响应，并为此很喜悦，印证了的确是主亲耳听见‘马其顿的呼声。

北美万维愿意提供独立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.

以便以谢！

3)安静独处 白鸽子 at 2006-03-11 20:21

上帝看重的是器皿。人非圣洁，不能见主的面。每天清晨一醒来，第一个想到了耶稣和他天上的事，还是被事务烦扰心神不宁？求主给我和同工，包括DONGMEI，JOSEPH，还有未来可能会同工的薛君、JESSICA，有安静的时间空间与神相处。保守我们看重和神的关系，超过任何关系与人事物，并因着常住在葡萄树上靠他多结果子。那不仅有嘴唇颂赞的果子、福音的果子，也有圣灵的果子。若我们心里常常被许多事思虑烦扰，以至于无法安静听他的道，就损失了上好的福分。但凡有个挫折、不如意，便象鸡蛋壳那样易碎与不堪一击。

争战中更要求主给我们披戴全副属灵军装。最近Xuejun薛君姐妹身体不好，常常一祷告就很疲倦；而我常感到恶心读不进圣经；JOSEPH缺乏智慧来作很多地决策，也求主加给他体力面对日常的行政事物；DONGMEI的家需要平安，婆婆也需要尽快地丢弃以前的偶像崇拜;JESSICA今天身体很不舒服，中午从公司请假回家休息。

求主赐予他的公义作我们的护心镜遮胸，用真理当作带子束腰，用信德当作藤牌可以灭尽恶者一切的火箭。在这以外，用和平彼此联络。

求主保护我们和家人脱离一起的凶恶。阿门！愿我们读经祈祷和圣徒相通，都在他的恩典怜悯中得以顺利进行，不受任何地拦阻。

５）转折期的适应　2006-03-13 13:34

香港JOSEPH弟兄，他目前在一个转折期。即他从前专注传道而现在从事文化交流、慈善公益与工商界的联络，需要做很多的行政工作，也需要很多智慧集合大家的想法变成可行性计划与方案。上个星期向他推荐一本HALF TIME人生下半场，希望一些圣经管理方面的书籍对他有切实的帮助。

深圳JESSICA姐妹，同样地也在转折期。以前生活方式是公司-回家和弟弟相处-诗班训练与侍奉，现在和弟弟刚分开住，和我在蛇口临时过渡。对前面的服侍方向不是很明确，也常惦记弟弟生活工作。但她很注重灵性的扎根，也希望有系统的圣经学习，愿意在属灵品格上多多被神塑造。

上海XUEJUN姐妹，她目前仍在老家浙江休养。最近身体很不好情绪容易低落。经过祷告与代祷，已经回复很多信心，看见‘听命胜于献祭’的宝贵。母亲已从极度地反对态度中缓和了很多，她曾提及将来可能在慈善机构工作，母亲没有特别地反对。

上海DONGMEI姐妹，仍在等候神预备她的丈夫和家庭，支持她的侍奉。至于家人是否在她侍奉中具体参与，需要神给她圣经的亮光和引导。

至于我，神的意念高过人的意念，这句话在今年更深地体会了。先是神扭转我原本回家过春节的计划，然后更新我原本只在上海设立筹备点的想法。在深圳还是有很多不适应的部分，比如在上海每天早上有音乐敬拜，在深圳从1月底直到本月6号才开始有比较安静的时空进行个人音乐敬拜。

在这个转折期间，愿天父的恩惠平安常与弟兄姐妹时时同在！愿天父特别保守我们几位同工常住在神的爱里，在至圣的真道上造就自己，仰望主耶稣的怜悯；也愿我们每位身体强壮起来，正如灵魂兴盛一样；更愿我们常常警醒祷告，免得入了迷惑。愿上帝保护我们脱离一切的凶恶。奉耶稣基督的门祷告，阿门！
