為神做工 一 Mission Trip

由於開始固定去教會，對於很多事工也有所了解。一直都有人在為神工作。最近我認識的一對德裔加拿大夫婦去了烏克蘭傳福音，教英文。他們已經古稀之年，生活優裕，還願意如此奔波，很讓人敬佩。還有一個中國朋友，八月份會去重慶做同樣工作，她自己身體也不是很好，平時工作比較勞累，但她愛神，誌願參加這樣的傳福音旅行。幾個月前由牧師帶隊的一個團還去了印度傳教，一個女孩從尼泊爾回來，還有一個女孩剛從秘魯的項目回來。。。她們都是受過良好教育，有思想，又見識的人，為神所用。

那個德國老頭很喜歡和我討論問題，前一陣我們就西藏問題有過交流，他雖然以前是做律師的，但很正直，沒有任何歧視，和我的談話中充滿了公平意識，討論之後對西藏問題也開始改變一開始的看法。下麵是他發來的有關這次MISSION TRIP的情況的EMAIL之一, 他們還是很會生活，工作結束後會去西班牙旅行。

We are finished in Kharkov; and the church and missionary couple there deemed
it a great success.  They are counting about 50 or more decisions for Christ.
Indeed the pastor from Texas gave incisive and succinct 5 minute sermons in
each session.  They built on each other and might have convinced even me.  In
fact for one session he was at another mission site and I had the privilege of
delivering that particular sermon.  In each session of my class I had the
opportunity to follow up a bit on points in the sermon.  Also in each session
there was witnessing.  One of our guys accepted Christ and nothing happened.
So he prayed again; then again; and figuring he was not doing it right he
prayed again for a month or more thereafter.  Still nothing.  But he says by
that time he was a Christian anyway. A powerful witness.  We had the chance to
have a long chat answering questions from a young Christian from Iran.  He
prayed and prayed; and also nothing.  Finally he said O.K. God, if you are real
you can heal my chronic backache.  If it's not gone by tomorrow your'e out of
here.  He was healed and is now a strong believer.  I cannot say anyone in my
class stood on his head for Christ, but they came again and again, some
traveling an hour after work, and they showed their appreciation on the last
night.  In fact the evening session gave the teachers a standing ovation.  It
was very moving.

Long enough, got to go.
