我们的笃信长老会生命堂一年一度举办的圣经营结束了. 蒙主恩,我和星群有机会在马六甲参加这聚会, 认识许多主内兄弟姐妹,大家一起听福音,一起祷告,一起歌颂赞美主,无拘无束,不分贵贱或穷富,互相交流,其乐无穷.
非常感激牧师 Pastor David Yan 的传道,使我深深提会到人生要过得简单快乐,与世无争,把一切烦恼抛开,相信主撑管宇宙一切, 与主同在,蒙受主恩,好温馨啊!
这次有机会与教会驻外工作人员交谈,他们来至肯雅,印尼,柬埔寨,和泰国等地. 他们为主工作,不屈不挠,任劳任怨, 这种精神值得赞扬和钦佩.
By God's grace, we had the opportunity to join in the Church Camp which we both find soul-searching and full of the holy spirit. We believe the sermons had given us a re-look at life as we often struggle between earthly possession and heavenly inheritance. We have gained much from this Church Camp and would like to summarize in the passages below:--
A) IN COMMUNION WITH GOD
We believe it was God's will that all the campers were able to come together to listen to the preaching and meditation of God's words by Paster David Yan. We prayed as a group and sang psalms and hymns and spiritual songs together (Col.3:16) to praise and worship our God. We were delighted to feel the presence of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ in the midst of us all as we prayed and worshipped Him.(Mat.18:20)
B)IN FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR BRETHREN
We got to know many more brothers and sisters in Christ in casual atmosphere. We thank God for the opportunity to meet up with the overseas missionaries and in talks with them about their works in their respective mission fields in Kenya, Cambodia, Thailand & Batam. We admire their unconditional love for God and their hardship in spreading the gospel. Pray that God will continue to strengthen and protect them.
Lastly, we like to thank God for his providence in our retirement years as we meditate on Psalm 37:25 " I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." Amen

hi jiumu, read your blog entry on your church camp & many other entries of yours. I must say you write very well in Chinese and it also appears kind of odd for me to not write in Chinese (alas, I'm uable to type Chinese on my keyboard) back to you :)
Having time to myself is so rare these days, being caught up with work, bringing up kids and finding time to catch up with family & friends. My new year resolution this year is to spend as much time as possible w family as time passes so fast, quarter after quarter, month after month, sometimes, I just have to hold my kids' face up to myself and look at them so that i dun forget what they look like year after year. So pathetic, but this is how things are...
Was life like that for you, some twenty odd years ago where u were also busy w your career and having to look after jong-shyan and jong-ee? how did u balance yr time? Mum told me that then, work wasn't as demanding as now, but still, you must have your challenges.
I look forward to meeting up with you soon, to catch up and I'm also eager to find out how sy ren and sy yi are. We dun meet that often nowadays, and if it's not for you to link us up, we may not even communicate for years.
Hope to see all of you soon.
