李察 問到底
諸葛亮因何不被信任?
May 29, 2007, 10:15:04 AM
如果連諸葛亮都不能信任,還有甚麼人,在儒家的系統中,是可信任的?
劉備後期,一連打了兩次大敗仗。他實行軍事冒險主義,胡亂進擊。歷史學家大惑不解,諸葛亮那裡去了?翻書一查,原來這時,諸葛亮已經不受信任,當時他在後方,負責後勤。所以,後來劉備臨死「托孤」,對諸葛亮說,此子如可輔,則輔之,否則汝可自取。嚇得諸葛亮跪地叩頭出血。諸葛亮那能聽不見這弦外之音?如果劉備信他,就不用這樣說。
問題是,儒學為何要極力提倡「忠貞」?潛在的意旨就是:所有人都是不可信的。所以才需要極力提倡。還有甚麼人是可以信任的呢?有的。儒學系統早己提出答案:兒子是可以信任的。即使像劉禪那樣的人,仍是可信的。有關「諸葛亮的案例」,請參看李察網頁。裡面有一個「易中天品三國」的電視節目網址,不容錯過。
為何要抽起諸葛亮?
May 29, 2007, 11:51:06 PM
昨文提到:「如果連諸葛亮都不能信任,還有甚麼人,在儒家的系統中,是可信任的?」
這是一個重要問題,需要再探討。因為,這跟儒學的基本結構有關。儒學是排擠性極強的。自從漢朝獨尊儒術以來,所有其他學問,無法開展。連最基本的邏輯學,在斷層之後的中式思維系統裡,也是沒有的。名學跟墨學等非儒家系統的學問,無法生存。儒家學者素來喜歡說,儒學是「人」的學問。其實即是「人治」之學:沒有邏輯,一切憑直覺和主觀,因此無法信任他人。連諸葛亮都不能相信,只能相信直系親屬。劉關張結拜為三兄弟,就是儒家思想。諸葛亮沒有結拜,他怎樣瀝血表忠,都是沒用的。
儒學只是單方面訓練讀書人忠貞,但忘記了訓練統治者辨識忠貞、接受忠貞、使用忠貞。有忠臣而不能用,是中國歷史一再重覆的悲劇。知人善用的劉備臨尾抽起諸葛亮,自毀長城,是儒式自殺。

世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂,真是枉然。積聚財富,不知將來有誰收取﹖Surely a man egoes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather! (詩篇Ps39:6)

馬力:教師不該說六四屠城
民建聯馬力昨日說:「不應該說共產黨屠殺、屠城,當年大家都矇查查。但如果是屠城,柴玲(六四學運領袖)怎能在六四凌晨平安離開?她是有心挑起暴動的,(如果屠城)呢條友第一個便被殺了!侯德健、封從德等人怎能慢慢離開?如果是屠城,4000名學生全都死光了!」馬力強調,他並非要說六四事件中沒有死過人,但說成是「屠城」則與事實不符。他質疑當日,天安門曾否發生燒屍、坦克車輾過學生的事件。「要燒一條屍至少要1000℃(熱力),如果可以就咁在天安門燒,那焚化爐便不用排長龍了……指一攤就說是(學生)被坦克車輾過,那不如找一隻豬,用坦克車輾過,看看是否會變成肉餅?」
有時真係好唔明白,點解越係打開眼說謊的人,越是顛倒是非的人,卻越是得人尊重、信任,人人都說他們是好人,人見人愛;反之那些憑良心說真話,卻要忍受忠言逆耳的下場,受人白眼,不被信任,好似鬼上身,人見人憎。
唉!主耶穌,我真係無你咁好能耐,當日可以任人羞辱也不發一言,你點樣忍口架? 教我啦,我都唔想做一個人見人憎的人,我究竟可唔可以做到又講真話,又人見人愛呢?
係呀,其實我都係幾貪心架...哈哈哈...!

在你遙遠的附近
最近其實好唔開心,好Down,我每次祈禱時總有種患得患失的感覺。
我同神傾訴時總有種奇怪的感覺,總是不明所以,直到昨天再一次聽見這首歌,好像是神在對我唱一樣。
縱然我不知道"那一個人"是誰,但畢竟他總是我與神之間的第三者。唉!
在你遙遠的附近
當 知道近期 抑鬱的你 給那一個人當後備
從來也未 咬著牙關生氣
難道你 錯愛他到沒救藥餘地
心 飛到舊地 想起跟你 別離亦沒那麼傷悲
仍然妒忌 但仍然關心你 無奈我 約你總要避
太上心 曾經與你散步過幾公分 就算一公分
相差千里也勝過別人 如何令我不擔心
* 傻到 要住到你的新居附近
看著你 凌晨還何以未關燈
若這刻 你那手機微震 是否可感到我體溫
和你 遠或近仍像終身情人
告別了也共你同渡餘生
往事遠 記憶近 我仍然未死心
難甘心 遙望你被人熱吻 *
當 知你後來 跟他恩愛 突然明白我的悲哀
無論遠近 共時光怎比賽 難道我 與你未分開
仍緊隨你喜與悲 我問良心未算分離
仍如他和我可以比 我為何 敢為你生氣
仍緊隨你喜與悲 我問良心未算分離
仍如他和我可以比 我為何 敢為你生氣
除非流失幾世紀 縱隔著他未算疏離
離開才不捨不棄 跟你面對 卻沒法親你
這樣近卻像隔千里 你有事 我定會找你

Scare to ask God question
Sometimes I really hate/scare to ask God questions. This morning I suppose to wake up early to do some final preparation of my Sunday school materials. But when I wake up I am so tired and I just wanna to ask God why do I have to wake up that early? As I am asking this question, a friend from HK calls. My friend did not say much but a short sentence, “Haha, I think its time for you to wake up.” My friend almost hangs up after this. This is something like an answer from God: "Hey, its your job to teach the Sunday school under a fully prepared manner, that's why its time for you to wake up...!" What can i say?
Come on…! Why God is answering me in such a fashion…? The most scary part is that God will always answer your question. Just how and what He will answer you.
God, yes, sometimes i really scare, but THANK YOU for answering my prayer.

一只想停的飛鳥(續集)
在今天AFC的退修會的尾聲,我們同工有分享祈禱的時候。我跟同工分享我上星期"一只想停的飛鳥"。
正當我們在祈禱時,突然間我腦海裡出現了一段聖經 ───── 創世記第八章。
4七月十七日,方舟停在亞拉臘山上。
5水又漸消,到十月初一日,山頂都現出來了。
6過了四十天,挪亞開了方舟的窗戶,
7放出一隻烏鴉去;那烏鴉飛來飛去,直到地上的水都乾了。
8他又放出一隻鴿子去,要看看水從地上退了沒有。
9但遍地上都是水,鴿子找不著落腳之地,就回到方舟挪亞那裡,挪亞伸手把鴿子接進方舟來。
10他又等了七天,再把鴿子從方舟放出去。
11到了晚上,鴿子回到他那裡,嘴裡叼著一個新擰下來的橄欖葉子,挪亞就知道地上的水退了。
12他又等了七天,放出鴿子去,鴿子就不再回來了。
13到挪亞六百零一歲,正月初一日,地上的水都乾了。挪亞撤去方舟的蓋觀看,便見地面上乾了。
14到了二月二十七日,地就都乾了。
第9節:但遍地上都是水,鴿子找不著落腳之地
神好像在禱告中教導我,凡事都有定時定義,應以正面去向看,全件事的感覺就不同了。
我可能正是神放的烏鴉或鴿子...hmm...!

Bearing the cross
Last night during our fellowship discipleship program, we came across the meaning of bearing the cross "背十字架的意義".
This morning I got an email from one of the sisters in our group quoting Baker Encyclopaedia of Bible-Chinese Version about the meaning.
除了上述約2,000年前在猶大地、耶穌基督釘在其上的那個十字架的神學意義外,這個十字架對今日信徒也有它的象徵意義。
背負十字架。新約記載耶穌以「背十字架來跟從衪」為作門徒的必要條件的教訓共有5處,主要分兩種不同說法:一為否定式,見於馬太福音十章38節和路加福音十四章27節;另一為肯定式,見於馬太福音十六章24節、馬可福音八章34節和路加福音九章23節。耶穌的說話有兩個重點:第一是源於罪犯自負十字架走到刑場的比喻,說明作門徒的必要條件便是天天為基督的緣故捨棄一切和受苦(路九23)。其中心要義不是受死,而是受辱,門徒必須準備好被社會丟棄。第二個重點可能源出以西結書九章4-6節,該處提到凡義人要被「畫記號在額上」,以跟惡人區別。那「記號」是希伯來字母表上最後一個字母,古寫為「X」或「十」。有人將「背十字架」視為認信的象徵,標明在末日歸屬耶穌。然而,無論怎樣解釋,背十字架顯然是象徵自我否定和甘願受苦。
Wow... I like this one “不是受死,而是受辱,門徒必須準備好被社會丟棄”…
Somehow, to me, 受辱 is much worser than 受死…
Hmm… “門徒必須準備好被社會丟棄”… good suggestion…

一只想停的飛鳥
在過去的幾個星期,心裡一直跟神在鬥氣:神呀,為什麼這...為什麼那...
上個星期簡直就是一個活死人,人是生的,心是死的。心裡沒有激動,只有孤單。沒有信任,不斷的被蠶食。晚上睡不了,日間工作不知作甚,只有麻木地過日子。
我問神,為什麼人人都有歸宿,有落腳的地方‧‧‧而我 ─ 卻仍在不斷的尋索。人家經常取笑說我是一只沒有腳的鳥,不懂得停下來,進入另一個階段的生活。試問又有誰能明白到我卻是一只想停的飛鳥? 很累,想停下來,卻沒有願意收留的人與地。
不過神對我很好。正當這只想停的飛鳥心中困惑,考慮是否應該放棄而停止動翼的時候,神派遣使者在不同場合告訴我祂是在等我的。星期二使者祈禱會之中,同工要我們幻想自己是一只飛鳥,一只可以自由自在地飛的鳥。我心在想,唉,自由?我不想自由啦,我只想一個棲身之所!!! 此時,同工帶出一首歌 ─ 尋找:
我曾經像一只小小飛鳥
飛躍在這藍天海上
我無時無刻彷惶無助
找不到可以傾述
我曾經像一只小小飛鳥
穿梭在這城市之中
我正在尋找那慈愛雙手,那就是主耶穌
主啊我要回到你身旁,我要回到你身旁
那慈愛雙手正等著我,來擁抱我
主啊我要回到你身旁,我要回到你身旁
那慈愛雙手來擁抱我,那就是主耶穌
此時此刻,心中好像得著一個當頭棒喝! 可是仍很硬頸的跟神說,我知道你的手是在等我,可是每當我以為那個是你的手的時候,卻有人告訴我:「客滿,請過主」「對不起,這裡不歡迎你」「我們跟你的心不一樣,請便」「這個地方不適合你」「另外的比較適合你,不要到我這裡來」最痛的,莫過於一句「我不想接受你」
神啊,不是我不想停下來,是你的容身之處不容我呀!!! 神呀,你吩咐我等,我等;你吩咐我做的,我做;你還想我怎樣? 我真的很累,很痛,很苦。
星期三,我作了一個很不想作的決定,可是我覺得這個決定應對我尊重的人好一點,給他少一些麻繁。我作了這個決定後,不錯,心中輕鬆了很多,可是卻很不舒服,恐怕相反地會帶出更多、更複雜的問題‧‧‧不過,要說的話說了,要是錯,就讓神幫這個"不孝子""執手尾"好了...
星期五,放假,去Gym。正當一心在跑步時,不知為何孤寂卻在我心的另一邊走出來。等,一個越來越不喜歡的字。近在眼前卻遠在天邊,心中苦又有誰知? 一曲合唱版「誰明浪子心」完全反映了我的心境。我跟神說:「夠了,我不想再等,請告訴我我可以放棄等待。」我要被釋放,要放棄等,可惜,神真的在跟我開玩笑。兩小時後,一個電話改變了我的週末,我知神又在告訴我一個我討厭的字:「等!」神像在告訴我:「沒有我的批准,誰給你放棄的權利? 等!」唉,在那一刻,我真的想一死了之,神啊,為什麼要我活在這種「等」的痛苦之中呢?
神真的無所不知,無所不能,有些時候我真的寧願聽不到祂的聲音,不知道祂的眷顧,不認為祂在聽我的禱告。在這個痛苦困惱之時,團契敬拜時,當projector俏俏的打出了「主啊我要回到你身旁,我要回到你身旁」,同一首詩歌,四日內兩次,我知道神在眷顧,聽我的禱告。
可是神啊‧‧‧救救我吧 一把年紀了 一個愛人都沒有
孤獨是可憐的 如果沒愛過 人生是黑白的
神啊 救救我吧 一個人晃了半輩子了
為什麼 我這樣的男人哪 就快要絕種 她呢 又在哪兒
這首歌不單是其他人的歌聲,也真的是在寫我的心聲‧‧‧
神啊,我知道你是信實的,是聽禱告的,求你,求你聽我的禱告‧‧‧
主啊我要回到你身旁,我要回到你身旁
那慈愛雙手正等著我,來擁抱我
主啊我要回到你身旁,我要回到你身旁
那慈愛雙手來擁抱我,那就是主耶穌

夜的心曲
詩的對話
d120417694/星
不敢親叩熟悉的數字
那會驚動沉睡中的相思
若是它又如昔一般
空蕩蕩只有響聲不止
怕傷了那內心僅存的絲毫自尊
好努力的想把所有當成是空無
怎都卻是欲走還留
送我的那張畫像必定是深情的餽贈
雖然回憶是遍體的傷痕
但感覺時仍舊溫柔而完整
親愛的請讓夜風為我一路加溫
為妳寫下的詩是躍動的音符
那是最摯最真
也是珍愛一生不變的靈魂

Relieved but Unhappy
Relieved but Unhappy... What an ironic feeling...!
Don't ask me details... please. However, what I can tell you is that... its just a day of emotions and frustrations. The feeling is like you have to give up something. This "something" is something you have dreamt of for so long and now you have the chance to own it. But for just a little while, now you have to give up.
If its should not belongs to me, why given to me at the first place...?
Sigh...

龔如心逝世 積財328億無福消受
龔如心用了超過15年時間,左爭右奪,用盡諸般方式把300億遺產袋袋平安,可惜換來的只享受到18個月亞洲第一富婆的稱號。到最後,不單結果兩手空空一無所有,積財328億無福消受,更換來不少的非議,值得嗎?
很喜歡 “原審法官任懿君曾在原審時引用《聖經》詩篇的一句﹕「世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂,真是枉然。積聚財富,不知將來有誰收取﹖」”(詩39:6)
莫非名利權力真的這樣重要嗎?
龔如心昨逝世[15:15]
華懋集團主席龔如心昨日在養和醫院病逝,享年69歲,較早時傳出她患上癌症。
華懋集團發表聲明,指集團主席王龔如心在4月3日逝世,將會另行公布喪禮的安排。
龔如心身家豐厚,在《福布斯》去年3月公布全球富豪榜,龔如心排行第154,估計去年身家達328億港元,成為亞洲第一女富豪。她與家翁王廷歆的世紀爭產案亦同樣矚目,爭產案糾纏了多年終由龔如心獲勝訴,接管丈夫遺下的300多億元財產,王廷歆則要支付6億元訟費。
但龔如心透過律師表示,為了保持家庭和諧,決定不會向王廷歆追討訟費,亦不追究王廷歆未有按法庭命令,披露誰人向他借出4100萬元打官司,世紀爭產案終於告一段落。
龔如心傳奇一生[15:37]
華懋主席龔如心昨病逝,她一生傳奇,最為人關注為其丈夫王德輝被綁架案及與家翁爭產案。
1955年9月29日,正是龔如心19歲生辰,她與當時21歲的王德輝結婚。王龔兩家是世交,龔如心小時候經常到王家玩耍。後來龔父去世,龔如心在1955年初,由老家上海來港投靠王家。不久,龔如心順理成章嫁入王家,與青梅竹馬的王德輝展開傳奇的一生。
在眾人眼中,王龔婚後十分恩愛。王德輝在1990年被綁架前3個月,夫婦二人去了一次歐洲旅行,他們返港後,王更向他展示在歐洲所買的兩折西裝「戰利品」。每天早上,夫婦二人會拖洋狗結伴在山頂百祿徑舊居跑步約1小時,之後才結伴返華懋上班。
龔如心愛夫心切,王德輝被綁架時,她在極短時間內,多次籌得巨額贖金,她甚至曾表示願以自己性命交換丈夫的安危。1983年夫妻首度被綁後,龔怕夫觸怒匪徒,甚至要求以己代夫。匪徒先釋放龔如心,龔在7日內籌得1100萬美元,匪徒於4日後釋放王。
90年王德輝再被綁架,當時匪徒勒索6000萬美元,並要求龔如心在10天內付半數贖金。但後因綁匪取消銀行戶口,餘款才沒有被提出,王自此亦下落不明。龔後來派人往各地搜尋找王德輝下落。
由於王德輝失蹤,王的父親王廷歆與龔展開一場糾纏8年的世紀爭產官司,雖然龔如心先輸兩場,最後卻「戲劇性」擊倒家翁王廷歆,反敗為勝,重奪價值約400億元的資產。
原審法官任懿君曾在原審時引用《聖經》詩篇的一句﹕「世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂,真是枉然。積聚財富,不知將來有誰收取﹖」。

華懋集團主席龔如心昨日在養和醫院病逝,享年69歲,較早時傳出她患上癌症。
華懋集團發表聲明,指集團主席王龔如心在4月3日逝世,將會另行公布喪禮的安排。
龔如心身家豐厚,在《福布斯》去年3月公布全球富豪榜,龔如心排行第154,估計去年身家達328億港元,成為亞洲第一女富豪。她與家翁王廷歆的世紀爭產案亦同樣矚目,爭產案糾纏了多年終由龔如心獲勝訴,接管丈夫遺下的300多億元財產,王廷歆則要支付6億元訟費。
但龔如心透過律師表示,為了保持家庭和諧,決定不會向王廷歆追討訟費,亦不追究王廷歆未有按法庭命令,披露誰人向他借出4100萬元打官司,世紀爭產案終於告一段落。
龔如心傳奇一生[15:37]
華懋主席龔如心昨病逝,她一生傳奇,最為人關注為其丈夫王德輝被綁架案及與家翁爭產案。
1955年9月29日,正是龔如心19歲生辰,她與當時21歲的王德輝結婚。王龔兩家是世交,龔如心小時候經常到王家玩耍。後來龔父去世,龔如心在1955年初,由老家上海來港投靠王家。不久,龔如心順理成章嫁入王家,與青梅竹馬的王德輝展開傳奇的一生。
在眾人眼中,王龔婚後十分恩愛。王德輝在1990年被綁架前3個月,夫婦二人去了一次歐洲旅行,他們返港後,王更向他展示在歐洲所買的兩折西裝「戰利品」。每天早上,夫婦二人會拖洋狗結伴在山頂百祿徑舊居跑步約1小時,之後才結伴返華懋上班。
龔如心愛夫心切,王德輝被綁架時,她在極短時間內,多次籌得巨額贖金,她甚至曾表示願以自己性命交換丈夫的安危。1983年夫妻首度被綁後,龔怕夫觸怒匪徒,甚至要求以己代夫。匪徒先釋放龔如心,龔在7日內籌得1100萬美元,匪徒於4日後釋放王。
90年王德輝再被綁架,當時匪徒勒索6000萬美元,並要求龔如心在10天內付半數贖金。但後因綁匪取消銀行戶口,餘款才沒有被提出,王自此亦下落不明。龔後來派人往各地搜尋找王德輝下落。
由於王德輝失蹤,王的父親王廷歆與龔展開一場糾纏8年的世紀爭產官司,雖然龔如心先輸兩場,最後卻「戲劇性」擊倒家翁王廷歆,反敗為勝,重奪價值約400億元的資產。
原審法官任懿君曾在原審時引用《聖經》詩篇的一句﹕「世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂,真是枉然。積聚財富,不知將來有誰收取﹖」。

My First Spanish Class
Oh Boy... my first class of Spanish... its horrible.
The teacher is terrific... just only me is having a tough time.
As being a slow learner in language, I can feel that I am very behind in the class. Especially when 5 out of eight know French. I am still trying to find the way to pronounce the "RR" sound... Sigh...
But I am sure I can make it... Please pray for me...

Simon suspended indefinitely for slash
Chris Simon was suspended indefinitely Friday by the NHL, one day after his vicious two-handed stick swing to the face of New York Rangers forward Ryan Hollweg.
Thanks God that I am not living in the Hockey world, otherwise I think I will be like Chris or Sean Avery.
After Chris' incident, so many people are making so many comments blaming him for not respect other players or should have think twice before he acts.
Well, you guys who are slow-thinker and consider yourselves always think twice before your action, please, can you give us a break?
Yeah, I agree that it is not wise to lose our cool when we got angry, and its absolutely not right to use force like this. But come on, its not our fault for thinking fast and act fast. We just can't control it. Can you control yourself so that you can think faster when needed? Hey, yes, we need to improve ourselves... but why not I hear your appreciation when our fast-thinking help you out when you need it? But its always "comments" when we make our mistakes?
Does that mean you those "slow-thinker" or "think twice" type will not make mistakes or making wrong decisions? Or are those mistakes just doesn't look that bad enough to be overblown and draw all the attention to it? Why it always have to make us look that bad when things happen?
Thanks for the comment from Islanders defenceman Brendan Witt, Simon's roommate for six years when they played for the Washington Capitals. "Nobody is perfect in this world in any situation, and everyone has their moments."
Then why us? Please... before you criticize our think-fast/act-fast characteristics, "think-twice" about how our think-fast/act-fast have helped you out in the past. Thank you...!

Panama Update #6
Dear all,
I can’t imagine its already the last week of my mission trip.
Tonight (Monday night) I will have the last session with the youth group.
Tomorrow morning I will go Chinese Tea with an uncle (my friend’s father) and Rev. Ma.
At night, I will conclude my trip with the gathering join with the youth group and young career fellowship.
Wednesday, I will be taking the morning flight to LA to meet my high school friends before heading back to Canada on Sunday. (Please pray for me for a safe trip…!)
For the past weekend, I flied to a city named David for a weekend trip. I visited there last year.
I have many visits for Saturday and Sunday together with the Sunday School and Sunday worship. The brothers and sisters there are very good and supportive. But I am so careless that I forget to bring my camera, thus, not much photos. (Sigh…)
Please pray for them if you can, their desperate need right now: spiritual support.
I have to finish here. I will post some of my photos in my website (http://webhome.idirect.com/~xteam/) and/or visit my blog (http://stupidxteam.blogspot.com/) after I come back to Canada.
Again, thank you for all your prayers, encouragement and support throughout the past month.
See you all in Canada…
Take care,
Kelvin

Panama Update #5
Dear all,
It was a weekend with a lot of grace and thanksgiving for me.
On Friday, while attending a workshop by another short term mission team from Toronto, I have a chance to chat with a young lady who had marriage problem. She is willing to believe in Jesus, but the problem is she does not understand how Jesus can help her. She did not convert at the end, but she agrees to come to church more to learn more.
Saturday morning, we visit a family whose son turn to Christ half year ago. They did not agree their son to go to church, so we pay a visit to them and try to understand the reason. The scheduled 30-mins visit turned out to be a 3.5 hours tour about Christianity. From why going to church, to what is Christianity, to why not going to church. The chat is wonderful as the father agrees to let his son to go to Church (although he still not agrees with Christianity). May his son be the blessing of the family.
Second visit of the day came to a teen call Chiu. He was in the Chinese youth camp and turned to Christ two years ago. However, during this period, he had gone to church only occasionally. This time I try to connect him with one of the Alliance church close to his home. He did go to church with me on Sunday, but pray that he will connect with the church and start going there regularly.
In the evening, after sharing at the 6th anniversary of the youth fellowship, a medical student who came from HK a long while ago came to me and we have an hour of discussion about Christianity. Thanks God for opening his heart during the discussion. He almost made the decision, but he back off at the very last minute. I believe God has His own timing. Please pray for him and hope that he can convert in a short while.
Sunday night, I went out with the youth group to a place called Amador. A long walk with seashore on both side of the road and can clearly see the sunset. The night was wonderful as not only I have the chance to chat with them on the 2 hour walk, but I also experience the first ever dinner-karaoke in Panama…!
10 more days in Panama, please keep praying for me and the ministry here in Panama. Thanks.
In Christ,
Kelvin

Panama Update #4
Dear all,
Time really flies. Already 2 weeks have gone and only 2 weeks left here in Panama. This morning, all other STM members have gone and I will move on with ministries in another Church… 巴拿馬華人基督教會.
PTL, on Chinese New Year Day, we have a wonderful program and the Alliance Church with more than 100 people come for the celebration. We have drama, games, songs and message sharing. Three people converted on the night. Halleluiah…!
About the Youth Camp, PTL that we have 92 youth attending the camp. During the camp, 19 of them converted or reconfirmed their faith to God, while 46 of them re-commit the life to God, with 9 of them commit themselves for full time ministry offering. It was wonderful.
On Monday and Tuesday, together two other STM member, Audrey and Jordan, we have an opportunity to go camping/beach swimming with a group of young people. The beach is so nice and it was a wonderful to have fun with so many young people here in Panama.
For the next two weeks, I will be visiting some of the youth from camps and helping out with fellowships. Please keep praying for me.
Some of you may have missed my previous updates, sorry my bad, please visit my blog @ http://stupidxteam.blogspot.com/
Again, thank you for you prayer support.
