APRIL 2015. Dear Praying Partners, 親愛的代禱夥伴們 Grace and peace to you all from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 願我們的父神和主耶穌基督的恩典與平安臨到你們 At the beginning of this year, when the schools started, we prayed with the children in the street homes for God to open a way for them to go back to school. It seemed crazy in those challenging situations but by the sufficient grace of God and through your prayers and supports, most of them were able to return to school. They are finishing their first term soon. Praise be to God. 就在年初學期開始時，我們向神祈禱，求祂為街上的孩子們開路，讓孩子們可以回到學校。雖然在這具有挑戰的情況中看似不可能，但是神賜下夠用的恩典，藉著你們的禱告與支持，他們大多數能夠回到學校。很快的，他們就可以完成他們的第一個學期。上帝是應當稱頌的。 Recently we had a privilege to follow up some girls who are studying in Form 2 and Form 4 in different Schools on the outskirts of Nakuru. From their early days, these girls have faced many difficulties in their lives but there are similarities in their stories. One of these girls, Naomi, lost her parents when she was young and was lived for some time on the streets. With the help of some mothers from the surrounding areas, she was rescued and placed in the street girls’ home. She was now able to start attending school and she tries to study well. She has a thankful heart towards God and people. She loves Jesus and has a willingness to participate in the activities of the church if she gets an opportunity. 最近我們有一個特別的機會接觸到一些女孩，她們在Nakuru郊區不同的學校就讀8年級和10年級。在早些的日子裡，這些女孩在她們生活中遇到了許多的困難，但是她們都有著相似的故事。其中的一個女孩拿俄米，在她小時候失去了她的父母，並且流落街頭一段時間。在當地周遭一些媽媽們的幫助下，她被搭救並安置在街頭女孩之家。而現在她能夠開始上學，並試著好好學習。對於上帝和人們，她著有一顆感恩的心。她愛耶穌，而且如果有機會她樂意參予教會中的活動。 The purpose of our visit was to encourage them in the love of God. We rejoiced to see one another and it was a blessing for me to see them so happy. They commented that this was the first time they had visitors in their schools. We had a time to pray together with their friends from their class room holding hands as sisters in the love of Jesus. I was reminded of the promise of God for these precious girls and prayed for them based on 1 Samuel 2:8 “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honour. For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; upon them he has set the world.” Thank God for His amazing promises. 這次我們探訪的目的是在神的愛中勉勵她們。我們高興地看到彼此，當我看到她們這麼高興，對我來說，這是一種幸福(祝福)。她們說到，在她們的學校中，這是第一次有她們的訪客來到。我們和她們的朋友們就像在耶穌愛中的姊妹們一樣牽起手，在教室裡有一個一起禱告的時間。我想起上帝的應許在這些寶貴的女孩們身上，並以撒母耳記上二章8節為她們禱告『他從灰塵裡擡舉貧寒人，從糞堆中提拔窮乏人，使他們與王子同坐，得著榮耀的座位。地的柱子屬於耶和華；他將世界立在其上。』，感謝上帝奇妙的應許。 Thank you all for your continuous support to me through your valuable prayers, financial support, encouragements and in many different ways. May God continue to bless you all abundantly. 感謝大家不斷的支持我，不論是透過寶貴的禱告、奉獻支持、鼓勵和許多不同的方式，願上帝持續將那豐豐富富的福賜予你們。
Prayers.
