2025 ALife Welcome Party! 迎新! ALife 2024 Welcome Package 2024 ALife Welcome Party!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Tis the evening on the morrow, thy retreat shalt commence! The Lord speaketh! “O child, where dost thou seek Me? If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me:
thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.” Goest, we shalt! Seek, we must!
Ok, I give up. Julianne asked me about this kind of English and I said I’d write it in the newsletter. There you go! Though, I thinketh I writest something wrong….
See you at the retreat!

代禱事項
1.    請我們繼續為朝正兄來代禱,目前提供醫療設備的機構,有派一位牧師來家裡探訪,朝正兄得到很大的幫助與鼓舞,可能會繼續請他來。朝正兄的父親已於星期日晚上平安抵達,求主看顧他年老的身體也保守他與朝正兄相處的寶貴時間。菁滿姐的坐骨神經疼痛有改善了一些,但仍需要大家的代禱,也讓我們繼續為朝正兄的吞嚥問題、肩頰骨的疼痛來祈求,願主的平安與朝正兄一家人同在。

2.    盈興兄的父親(藹玲姐的公公)上週二晚上過世。他計畫在3/12-3/21返台奔喪。由於盈興兄是家裡唯一的基督徒,他的父母來美國探望時都曾參加過教會,母親在美國的教會裡做過決志禱告,父親也曾在唱詩歌時感動落淚,但在台灣卻總有種種阻攔而無法繼續到教會。藹玲與盈興這陣子的工作真的非常忙碌, 因此請為他們在工作與家庭上的一切代禱,求神保守他們的心懷意念,也為藹玲姐是否可以一起回台灣,及他(們)在台灣與家人的交通代禱。

3.    日本 3/11 發生大地震、海嘯、爆核、爆火山,面臨前所未有的國難。請各位弟兄姊妹在禱告中和全世界聯合,求主透過這災難顯出祂的大能,讓世人看見神的真實及榮耀。欲捐款賑災,可參考以下的網站:

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer Requests
1.    Please continue to pray for Brother Chaujun. The hospital has provided some medical equipment, and a pastor has been visiting him at home. Brother Chaujun’s spirits are lifted up and encourages, so they may continue to invite him. Brother Chaujun’s dad has arrived safely last Sunday evening. May the Lord watch over his health and his time with Brother Chaujun. Sister Jingmann’s sciatic pain has improved, but still needs everyone’s prayers. Let us also lift up Brother Chaujun’s swallowing problems and scapula pain in prayer. May the Lord’s peace be with the family.

2.    Brother Ying-Hing’s father (Sister Ai-Ling’s father-in-law) passed away last Tuesday night. He plans on going back to Taiwan for the funeral from 3/12-3/21. Since Brother Ying-Hsin is the only Christian in his family, his parents have attended church when they come to the States to visit. His mother has proclaimed her faith before here, and his father once moved to tears while singing praise. However, much obstacles prevented them from attending church once they went back to Taiwan. Sister Ai-Ling and Brother Ying-Hsin have been burdened from their jobs, so please pray for their work and their family. May the Lord guard their hearts, open a way for Sister Ai-Ling to go back with him, and watch over his (their) time in Taiwan with the family.

3.    On 3/11 Japan faces the greatest disaster in their country’s history, a combination of earthquakes, a tsunami, nuclear power plant explosion, and an erupting volcano. May all brothers and sisters unite with the world in prayer, may the Lord use this disaster to show His power, so that the world may see that God is real and His glory. For those who would like to donate to the disaster relief, please see the following links:
