希望為神在台灣豐收的Mark 與 Ruth 敬上

1. 在剛才禱告當中神有沒有對你說什麼話？或是提醒你什麼事情？什麼事情要感恩？或是讓你看見自己需要改變的地方？

2. 自己的禱告生活如何？什麼時候禱告？如何禱告？禱告的習慣？

3. 分享代禱事項, 為小組中每個人代禱, 也為自己與小組員的禱告生活禱告！

4. 在約翰福音17章耶穌的farewell prayers中，耶穌為我們禱告的是什麼？神對我們的心意是什麼？

11. Street Sense (街頭意識)!
從這個月開始，我們每個月將在電子報中介紹一個組織/協會。你可以為他們禱告或奉獻。這個由活動宣教組提議的發想，是為了鼓勵我們大家積極地幫助任何耶穌不會遲疑伸出祂援手的事工。

第一個揭開序幕的組織是Street Sense(街頭意識)。這份雙週發行的報紙是為了「透過一份可以為貧窮及不公義發聲，並鼓勵大家來思辯這些議題的報紙，來提供經濟機會予那些在我們社區中無家可歸的人們。」

Street Sense的報販以35 cents發行費的價錢來收購一份報紙，並以$1的價格賣出。這份報紙內容包含了關於無家可歸、貧窮及其他社會議題的新聞、專題、社論、詩及藝術。報紙大約一半的內容是由之前曾經是無家可歸者或現為無家可歸者撰寫。

你可以在地鐵站附近或一些公共場所找到這些報販。他們身著黃色的背心，上面有「Street Sense」字樣。每份賣出的報紙，就是65 cents的收入，這可能是鼓勵他們邁向改善他們生活較佳的方式。你的$1對他們來說意義非凡。

11. Street Sense!
Starting from this month, we will be introducing an organization/association per month in our newsletter. You could donate or pray for them. This initiative introduced by Activity/Outreach group is to encourage us all to participate actively in helping any kind of ministries in which Jesus would not hesitate to lend His hands.

The first organization to kick off the series is Street Sense, a bi-weekly newspaper that seeks to “offer economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness in our community through a newspaper that elevates voices and encourages debate on poverty and injustice”.

Street Sense vendors pay 35 cents for each paper to cover publishing costs and then sell each paper for $1. The newspaper features news, features, editorials, poems and art about homelessness and poverty and other social issues. About 50% of the paper is written by homeless and formerly homeless individuals.

These vendors could be found in Metro stations area or some public places. They wear yellow vests with the writing “Street Sense”. For each newspaper they sell, they can earn 65 cents. This may be a better way to encourage them to take their first steps towards improved lives. Your $1 could go a long way for them.

2.   4/15 Reverend Li-Ming Hung Special Lecture!
It’s THIS WEEK! Quick bio: In 1991, the whole family moved to Germany as missionaries, spreading the gospel to scholars and intellectuals. In 1999, they left Germany temporarily, and served in Vancouver for 4 years. However, they never ceased to consider going back. Under God’s guidance, they returned to Germany in summer 2004 to serve, and became members of China Evangelistic Mission, Inc.

In Matthew 9:37-38, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” May we learn from this worker of the Lord, and learn the true meaning behind missionary.

我們可以從先知但以理在但以理書中的禱告，看出他是一個敬虔又認識神的人。

1.     在但以理書9:1-23，但以理為耶路撒冷和以色列的百姓禱告。請從他的禱告中列舉他所認識的神是怎樣的一位神。

2.     請回想你過去這一個星期或一個月的禱告。你所做的禱告顯示你對神有什麼認識?

2.   4/15 Reverend Li-Ming Hung Special Lecture!
It is a great honor to have Reverent Hung! Quick bio: In 1991, the whole family moved to Germany as missionaries, spreading the gospel to scholars and intellectuals. In 1999, they left Germany temporarily, and served in Vancouver for 4 years. However, they never ceased to consider going back. Under God’s guidance, they returned to Germany in summer 2004 to serve, and became members of China Evangelistic Mission, Inc. This is a rare opportunity, so be sure to come!

5.   Street Sense!
Starting from this month, we will be introducing an organization/association per month in our newsletter. You could donate or pray for them. This initiative introduced by Activity/Outreach group is to encourage us all to participate actively in helping any kind of ministries in which Jesus would not hesitate to lend His hands.

The first organization to kick off the series is Street Sense, a bi-weekly newspaper that seeks to “offer economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness in our community through a newspaper that elevates voices and encourages debate on poverty and injustice”.

Street Sense vendors pay 35 cents for each paper to cover publishing costs and then sell each paper for $1. The newspaper features news, features, editorials, poems and art about homelessness and poverty and other social issues. About 50% of the paper is written by homeless and formerly homeless individuals.

These vendors could be found in Metro stations area or some public places. They wear yellow vests with the writing “Street Sense”. For each newspaper they sell, they can earn 65 cents. This may be a better way to encourage them to take their first steps towards improved lives. Your $1 could go a long way for them.

In the Book of Daniel, we can see from the Prophet Daniel’s prayers that he is a pious man who knows God well.

1.     In Daniel 9:1-23, Daniel prays for Jerusalem and Israel. Based on Daniel’s prayers, give examples of his perspectives on God.

2.     Recall your prayers in the past week or month. Based on your prayers, what is your understanding of God?
