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

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I was talking to an uncle the other day, telling him how much my fellowship loved to eat. He replied, “Don’t you know that fellowship is all about eating?” I thought of how Jesus always shared a meal with everyone. However, that wasn’t his reason:
Fellowship = 團契 (tuan2 qi4)
Take the 口 from 團, and move it next to 契.
Then you have 團契 = 專喫 (zhuan1 chi1) = all about eating.
Hence from the above equations, our fellowship truly lives up to its name. QED.

台灣希恩是由兩個好友設立:美國人康翠娜及加拿大人孟荷莉。育有親生孩子的她們,在領養台灣嬰兒後,雙雙受神感動,決定替未婚媽媽及孤兒設立一個家。藉由媒合適當的養父母及孤兒及照顧母親們,她們希望能做到如經上所記:「就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦。」(雅各書1:27)

捐款支持請開支票給His Hands Taiwan, Inc,寄到P.O. Box 404, Leakey, Texas 78873. 或可以藉由其網站,使用Pay pal線上捐款:http://hishandstaiwan.org/ee/index.php/hishands

代禱事項

1. 為菁滿姐一家在朝正兄過世後的生活調適禱告,並且為他們的經濟狀況禱告。菁滿姐這幾天胃痛、頭痛和嚴重的失眠,祈求主看顧菁滿姊的身體,讓她能有平靜的心、足夠的睡眠。也感謝大家對菁滿姊的關心,但是請大家暫時不要打電話給她,讓菁滿姊有一段單獨的時間能平靜她的心,她需要的是我們的代禱,與從神來的安慰。

2. Jade 今天離開回台灣。請為她回台灣之後,仍有神的批護及帶領,而持續有一個健康的靈修、教會生活!

3. 請大家為 Jerry Hsieh 禱告。以下為其代禱事項:

奶奶患有轉移性甲狀腺癌,五星期之後將接受I-131治療。

12. His Hands Taiwan!
This ministry was born from a vision to counsel, care for, and house unwed mothers in crisis pregnancies. In a country where there are twice as many abortions as live births every year, there is a desperate need for an alternative to abortion. Because of this dire situation, His Hands Taiwan has turned into a refuge for abandoned babies as well as a refuge for unwed mothers.

His Hands Taiwan was established by 2 friends: American Trena Campbell and Canadian Holly Muir. After they both adopted Taiwanese babies in addition to their own children, they were moved by God to set up a home for unwed mothers and looking after orphans. By matching orphans to appropriate adopting parents and caring for the moms, they seek to “look after the orphans and the widows in their distress” (James 1:27).

Support them by mailing a check payable to His Hands Taiwan, Inc: P.O. Box 404, Leakey, Texas 78873. Or go through Pay pal at

Prayer Requests

1. Please pray for the Lee family’s daily life after the passing of Brother Chaujun. Please also put their financial situation in prayer. Sister Chinman lately has been suffering stomach aches, headaches, and severe insomnia. Pray that the Lord watches over her health, give her peace and enough sleep. Many thanks to everyone’s care for Sister Chinman, but please do not call her these days. Allow Sister Chinman to have some quiet time and calm her heart. She needs our prayers and comfort from the Lord.

2. Jade has left for Taiwan today. Please pray for God’s protection and guidance when she goes back to Taiwan, and that she will continue to have a healthy spiritual and church life!

3. Please pray for Jerry Hsieh. The prayer requests are as follows:

– Uncle was rushed to the ER from a currently unknown heart trouble. He is home now, but the doctors still don’t know the reason. Pray that the Lord will grant them wisdom, and give him proper treatment.
– Grandmother is a metastatic thyroid cancer patient.  She is doing fine for the most part, but it is going to be another six weeks before she can receive her I-131 treatment.
– Aunt is not in the top shape either, and now she has to care for both of them.
– Parents are en route to NYC for three weeks.
– Focus on what needs to get done here (i.e. finals) in the mist of what is going on at home.

Homework

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 55: 6 -13

Isaiah 55: 8 – 9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

1. What are the differences between God’s and our thoughts?

2. Since our thoughts are different from God’s thoughts, how can we understand God’s thoughts and words?
