還記得認識「林大姐」林慧中傳道與李瑄傳道的那一刹那,真的從心中笑了出來。爲什麽呢?一見面就有無限的吸引和親切感 – 我們的樣子形象都有一點像。最奇妙的是探訪隊裏面好幾個姊妹都是山東人。我興高采烈地回應說:「我也是!」那一種靈裏合一的感覺, 真的是令人讚嘆。
那天的探訪行動為我留下深刻的印象。當我們到訪第二家餐館的時候,我們正在苗必達市。林大姐問我住在哪裏,我告訴她我就住在苗必達市。她又問我的職業是什麽,我說我是一位生活教練。林大姐就告訴我,餐福將會在苗必達市開一個中心,目的是服務本地的餐館人。她接着說,餐館人很需要學英文,問我願不願意到新開的「餐福之家」教英文。我當時詫異到眼淚都掉下來,
因爲在當時的兩個月之前,我生活教練的事業剛剛展開,有一個念頭想教新移民一些生活英語。於是禱告神,希望祂能為我預備地方。沒想到,主已一早有安排了。主應允了我的禱告,就是祂給我在餐福的事奉上第一個印證,也是讓我肯定了餐福就是主差派我的工場。參加餐福已有三年多的時間。在這些年日以來,每一天都不斷經歷神的恩典。在服事餐館的朋友們的時候,常常會體驗到他們生活上的難處,和他們生命裏的捆綁。在輔導他們、勉勵他們、安慰他們、和引導他們的點點滴滴當中,我充份地感受到主耶穌對他們的慈愛是有多麽的長濶高深, 而他們又是多麽的需要主耶穌的拯救與救贖。我看到了生命的改變,也看到了那些從痛苦中得到釋放和醫治的病人,他們重新抓緊生命的時候,是有多麽的平安、喜樂、和充滿了盼望。
這不是人能夠憑自己的力量去做到的,乃是靠着主耶穌基督的靈才能夠創出的奇事。在見證這許許多多神的帶領和啓示的時候,我也蒙恩地成爲了這些需要幫助的人的祝福,我的信心也是這樣一天一天的被建立起來。

Grace/Jessica and all fellow RGM co-laborers:
Thank you so much in setting up the blog for RGM laborers to share our experiences,learn and pray for each other. I only started serving in RGM since Sept 2008, definitely a novice in this very rewarding harvest field. I look forward to learning from you all.
Long story short was that, by chance, or I would rather say by divine appointment, my support for the Johns Hopkins University's Chinese campus ministry (by Ambassador for Christ) led me to help establising a RGM fellowship in the same city - Baltimore, MD.
A RGM team from Indianapolis, IN helped us to kick off the first outreach meeting. We were then on our own. We struggled a lot in the beginnng, language barrier for one (all restaurant workers speaks Mandarin and we only have one sister speaks the lanaguage, the rest of the team is from an American church, I and another Brother who only speak Cantonese). But all the more amazing how God leads us through the challenges. We learned that genuine love is a common language that transcend all barriers. As we love the workers, everything else will take care of itself. Our meeting starts Sunday, once a month, at 10:30pm. We chat, play group games and table tennis (very popular). Then we spend 30 minutes in Biblical presentation. We chose the Answers in Genesis's 7 C as the theme. One C for each month (Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, Consummation). To make it easier for the workers to understand the presentation, we use visual aids such as pictures and cutout figurines to build up the story. Several workers bring their kids along to the meeting, we try to ask the kids to help with the presentation as much as possible. Here is the web link to the 7Cs

We learned a lot over the months and continue to fine tune our programs. It is my hope that through this blog we will help each other become more effective harvester for Christ.
Next Sunday (May 31) will be our 8th outreach meeting in Baltimore & the first outreach meeting for my home church on May 30. CCHC's Esther Lou and her team will be in Washingon DC area conducting a one day RGM leadership workshop and help with local RGM fellowships.
We have 30+ Chinese churches in the DC/MD/VA area, but only a small handful of them are currently engage in RGM. Please pray for Esther's visit that God will mightily use the CCHC team to establish a Regional RGM presence in the area.
Ephesians 3:19-20 " and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us."
A powerful scripture to remind us that through our inadequacy, God will demonstrate His greatness as He uses us to bring many to Him.
主提醒我大事是由祂作;而我的工作就是專心的把一杯一杯涼的活水送到有需要的人的口裏

拜拜與祭祖問題通常是一般東方人要信耶穌時會遇到的難題,以下有29篇文章希望能幫助你處理這樣的困擾^^
http://bibletimes.netfirms.org/jesus/read.php?tid=13479
基督徒雖不祭祖但有「記」祖,雖不上香但有追思活動,基督徒講求的是「敬祖」,而不是膜拜祖先
基督信仰的教義是──
上帝差派耶穌為世人的救主,只要悔改接受祂,罪就能被赦免,得到永生,詳解如下:
世人被罪所轄制,故有死亡疾病煩惱,而福音就是上帝藉耶穌要讓世人與祂「和好」,重新建立「美好的關係」(這美好的關係原本被「罪」所破壞)。上帝造世人原意要我們與祂同在,並要受託去管理受造的世界,人原本是有權柄與榮耀,但因罪而失去,於是藉著耶穌基督而被挽回、過犯被赦免、重新恢復尊貴身份,將來與上帝一同管理新天新地,那是一個永恆福樂的新宇宙,公義和平永居其中,不再有痛苦與悲傷。

【內容摘要】
如果我們只為了自己活,我們的扉頁將是空白的,等你到了這裡,上帝將不會給你任何獎賞,雖然或許有幾行字仍然留著,代表著你曾真正的關心,真誠的去愛與禱告,但你仍舊會驚嘆,如果你做的更多,當你踏入天堂時,那喜樂將會是何等的大!
我願意承受!並且一生追尋聖潔,清心,與單純的事物!藉著耶穌是我的幫助!我要為祂贏得失喪的靈魂,因為我知道他們將和上帝一同活在永恆裡,而這才是真正重要的!當在世的年歲已盡,我站在神的面前,才可以聽見神說:做的好!
因此,我要服事神!我能!我將要!我必須!!我將不會任由一個空白的扉頁,呈現在上帝威嚴的寶座前!因為記錄所在的地方就是我永恆的家!我將我所擁有的獻給耶穌!!
我已經看到了一位天使,握著上帝的神奇墨水筆,在記錄著我的生命!!
──────
加油囉(記得每天都要挪出時間,常為朋友信主禱告喔!!^_^)
