宣教大会和外传活动办得十分有效和卓有成效。我们见证上帝如何在祂所计划的每一个事情中大大地动工。除了家庭探访、医院探访、学校布道、街头布道、行驶祷告、布道会和讲座外,我想强调这三件事:
1.上帝使家庭关系和睦以及教会牧者们彼此关系和睦的作为。
在祷告中,上帝使用了我们七支队伍中的一支来恢复一名儿子和他的父母破碎的关系。由于儿子自己的信仰,他被亲身父母拒绝,从那时起他们就再也没彼此沟通过。在当中圣灵感动了儿子,带领团队到他的家里并分享了福音。最终是儿子自己要求父母的宽恕,他们因而也互相拥抱哭泣。
2.恢复三间华人教会的分裂。
母会分为了三个堂会,由于主任牧师的关系不是很好,他们也不互相交谈。在宣教大会召开前一周,我们致函了所有牧者参加我们的会议和午餐。 翟先宏法政牧师在当中分享了合一的力量。在用餐期间,三位牧者开始互相交谈了。
当地的牧者们都被邀请参加宣教大会。在其中一次聚会中,神感动了翟先宏法政牧师邀请主任牧师上到讲台前,并代表山口洋华人教会悔改并恳求神的饶恕。主任牧师上到台前并祈求饶恕。
3.神感动市长
上帝亲自感动蔡市长接受了我们开幕崇拜的邀请。崇拜结束后,她隔天邀请了团队和当地牧者到她的家。我们为着翟先宏法政牧师能有机会为她和她的城市祷告献上赞美予神。神是强而有力的!
荣耀都归于神!

SINGKAWANG, WEST KALIMANTAN (19-24 NOVEMBER 2018)
The mission conference and outreach programmes were so effective and fruitful. We saw how God moved mightily in every event that was planned. Apart from home visitations, hospital visitations, school evangelism, street evangelism, a prayer drive, evangelistic meeting and seminar, I want to highlight three events:
1. The move of God in family reconciliation and church pastors’ reconciliation.
God used one of our seven teams during the prayer drive to reconcile a son to his parent. The son was rejected by the parent because of his faith and since then they never communicated with each other. The Holy Spirit moved the son and brought the team to his home and shared the gospel. The outcome was that the son asked for forgiveness from the parent and they embraced each other and wept.
2. Healing of division among three Chinese churches.
The mother church split into three churches and the in-charge pastors were not in good terms and didn’t talk to each other. We sent out a letter to call all pastors to join our meeting and lunch one week before the mission conference. Canon Chak shared about the power of unity. During the meal, the three pastors began to talk to each other.
The local pastors were invited to join the mission conference. In one of the meetings, the Lord moved Canon Chak to invite the senior pastor to come to the pulpit to represent the Chinese churches in Singkawang to repent and asked God for forgiveness. The senior pastor came to the front and prayed for forgiveness.
3. God touched the Mayor of the City
The Lord moved Mayor Chai to accept our invitation to our opening service. After the service, she invited the team and local pastors to her residence the next day. We praise God that Canon Chak was given the opportunity to pray for her and her city. God is powerful!
To God Be the Glory!
