Carol and Pastor Leung shared how they felt after their China mission team a few weeks ago. Here are the touching stories !
” This is the first time I eat with more than 70 brothers and sisters in a little cottage in China. We ate together and we worshipped together. More than 40 of them had travelled a long way in order to come here. And among them, 20 are new comers. And yet, all these 70 people are leaders in churches in the mainland. They are either responsible for a cell group or a district of cell groups. “
” The most special thing about this missionary trip was, we were able to watch a video of a very special event. It was a banquet celebrating 32 couples re-submitting their marriages to God. They committed that they would follow Biblical teachings in their marriage, i.e. one man and one woman, one heart and one mind, one husband and one wife, and for all of their lives. Some of them were even divorced and were brought together again by the power of God. And some of them were even grandparents. “
” From the conversations with the local believers, I learnt that the Gospel had changed their lives and they were totally renewed and living totally new lives! I was very thankful that Elim church is a church that put much emphasis on mission work. “
” All of these started in a tiny cottage 15 years ago. Now, it has already developed to more than 105 churches there. It is hard to believe if I have not seen this myself. “
梁牧師和Carol曾在主日分享了她們在中國短宣的體驗,大家也一起來分享她們的所見所聞吧!
『 第一次和七十多個弟兄姊妹在農村吃飯,在一間小屋中一起敬拜,其中有四十多人是長途跋涉而來的,當中更有二十多人是我從未見過的。這七十多人全是領袖,每人都是負責一個或—區的小組的。』
『 除了一起聚會,敬拜禱告,學習聖經之外,今次更有—特別的節目。就是他們給我們看,他們在新年期間,—個非常特別的宴會的錄影片段。原來,有三十二對夫婦,在新年期間設宴,公開地重新將婚姻交在神的手裏。宴會塲內一共擺了四十圍,連賓客共六百多人,—起見証這三十二對夫婦,承諾忠心實踐聖經所教導的婚姻,即—男—女,—心—意,—夫—妻,—生一世。當中更有—些是已經離了婚的,也有些是誇代的,即夫婦們的父母也一起重新把婚姻交給神。』
『 我從當地信徒的談話中,知道福音是如何的把他們的生命大翻新,我不禁由衷的感恩,因我們的教會能這麼重視宣教。』
『 若不是親眼看見,真不敢相信,這一切—切,都只是從十五年前的一間小村屋開始,如今已經發展成超過—百零五間教會了!』
