會訊 – 第四十七期

本刊出版之時,相信弟兄姊妹已經歷了幾個重要但氣氛迥然不同的日子:感恩節、新年(新曆的和農曆的)、大齋期(包括受苦節)和復活節。新年著重歡慶和團聚,提醒我們感謝神恩。大齋期著重思想基督為世人所承受的苦難,提醒我們要敬虔端正,節約委身。而復活節表明基督的復活和得勝,提醒我們要奮勇積極,宣揚福音,作主聖工。
本期幾篇文章,分別涉及了不同節期的精神:潘耀倫牧師講「稱頌」和「賜福」,提醒我們須常存感恩;總監督伍山河牧師在除夕夜的勸勉,提醒我們切勿以世界的價值去界定富足,並提醒我們不要害怕為基督受苦;為基督受苦所留下的傷痕,正是事奉者的榮耀。「三角演義」三篇文章中,甄浩業牧師和林淑櫻宣教師從不同角度分享十架七言中「成了」的意義,正是大齋期精神的闡述;而孫子輝牧師講「今天你要同我在樂園裏了」,毋庸置疑,就是得勝的宣言了。
願各位一邊閱讀,一邊回顧所走過的日子,向神發出感激的讚歎。

Letter from IPHC Presiding Bishop

Dear Brother Donavan,

Grace and peace in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Savior!

I want to personally thank you, the Wing Kwong Pentecostal Holiness Church, and the two other conferences for all you did to make the IPHC Fifth Global Assembly a success. Since we met over a month ago, I continue to receive reports, almost on a daily basis, of what an inspiring event we had in Hong Kong. All of you can be justly proud and thankful for all that the Lord did through you. Many people have expressed that they believe this event did more to expand the vision of the IPHC than anything they have ever attended.

I want to thank you for the personal time you gave to the pastors of the M-Initiative and the tour of the Wing Kwong PHC. The remarks you shared with everyone there that afternoon, and the personal insights you gave on the tour, greatly impacted all of us. Your remarks on Wednesday night at the opening banquet were very appropriate. I just wish you would have felt free to have spoken longer!

The music and worship by the Wing Kwong choir, worship teams, and musicians, was outstanding. The Holy Spirit truly used all of them to prepare our hearts for His Word and presence.

Thank you and your team for the presence of the “angels” at the airport and especially on the tours following the conference. Susan and I were blessed by the love and support of Eddy Kwok and Superintendent Jonathan Kan and his wife. They were a great joy and blessing to us and everyone on our bus.

Finally, you mentioned about me possibly returning this fall for the grand opening of the Stone House Gardens. I would love to do that. As of now, I am free on weekend of September 18, 19th. Let me know if that would work for you.

Again, our hearts continue to be filled with great joy at what the Lord has done through you at the Global Assembly. You and all our brethren in Hong Kong remain in my constant prayers. I am,

Sincerely yours,
