2026-堂主任的話

28/06/2026堂主任的話

親愛的弟兄姊妹：

     上週六（6月20日）的外展福音日，實在滿載主的恩典。那天陽光燦爛、天色明媚，氣溫宜人，讓我們在戶外服事中深深經歷神創造的美好和眷顧。然而，澳洲的天氣總是變幻莫測——從週四（6月25日）開始，連日陰雨，而且根據氣象預測，未來十天仍會維持多雲有雨，早晨氣溫更將降至攝氏10度以下，若加上寒風，體感溫度可能再低一至兩度。在這乍暖還寒的季節，特別記念家中育有幼兒的父母，你們早晚接送、照料孩子起居，格外辛勞；求主加添你們心力，也保守孩子們免受風寒。

     與此同時，悉尼的冬季流感高峰期通常落在6至9月，而7、8月更是病毒傳播最快、爆發最頻繁的時期。大家務要留意天氣變化，早晚外出時穿上足夠保暖的衣物，切勿掉以輕心。我們也特別記念每清晨在教會一同點燈晨禱的弟兄姊妹，願主以祂的翅膀遮蓋你們，賜下健康與平安。

     踏入七月，中小學校的寒假將從7月4日開始，這段日子往往是父母費心安排子女活動的時候。感謝主，我們線上學房（3/7）第二學期亦同步結束，屆時學房課室可騰出空間，供有需要的家庭使用。若家長們想為孩子尋找一個安全、溫暖且充滿主愛的活動場所，歡迎私下與我們的同工查詢，我們樂意盡力協調安排。

     更令人振奮的是，今年611總堂將舉辦「GenTOL蒙福勝萬民」特會，我們堂會已有三位年輕人的報名參加！這次特會內容涵蓋中學生、大專生、職青，也適合每一位渴慕在職場蒙福的弟兄姊妹。大會不僅要點燃青年復興的火焰，更要喚醒所有職場信徒的生命熱情，讓我們在各自的崗位上活出君尊祭司的位份。特會將由大家長張牧師師母及職場領袖親自帶領。我們深信，凡回應生命樹呼召的人，必被神大大使用，蒙福勝萬民！

敬請留意5/7 便截止報名。

Dear brothers and sisters,

     Last Saturday’s Outreach Gospel Day (20 June) was truly filled with God’s grace. The beautiful sunshine and pleasant weather allowed us to serve outdoors and experience God’s wonderful creation and loving care.

      As we know, Australia’s weather changes quickly. Since Thursday (25 June), it has been rainy and cloudy, and the forecast says this will continue for the next ten days. Morning temperatures will drop below 10°C, and it may feel even colder with the wind. During this changing season, we especially remember parents with young children. Thank you for your loving care and daily sacrifices. May the Lord strengthen you and keep your family healthy.

      Winter is also flu season in Sydney, especially during July and August. Please dress warmly when going out in the early morning or evening, and take good care of your health. We also remember everyone who faithfully joins our Dawn Prayer each morning. May the Lord cover you with His wings and bless you with good health and peace.

      As we enter July, the school winter holidays will begin on 4 July. Thank God that the second term of our Online Learning Centre will also finish on 3 July, making the classrooms available for families in need. If you are looking for a safe, warm, and loving place for your children during the holidays, please feel free to contact our church staff. We are happy to help.

      We are also excited that the GenTOL – Blessed to Bless the Nations Conference will be held by 611 Mother Church this year. Three young people from our church have already registered! The conference is open to secondary students, university students, young working adults, and anyone who desires to be blessed in the workplace. It will be led by our spiritual parents, Pastor Joshua  and  C-mo, together with workplace leaders. We believe that everyone who responds to God’s call will be greatly used by Him and become a blessing to the nations.

Please note that registration closes on 5 July. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!

God bless you all.

21/06/2026堂主任的話

這趟從奧克蘭飛回悉尼的航班上，我靜靜回顧短短五天的旅程，心中滿是感恩。出發前，聖靈便在我裡面放下一個清晰的感動——這次不是以牧者或輔導者的身分前往，而是以「父親」的眼光，去看待每一個家庭、每一對夫婦。我要把「她」當作尚未出嫁的女兒，細心愛護；把「他」視為勇於追夢的兒子，欣賞鼓勵。這不是一次事工探訪，而是一程體會為父心腸的經歷之旅。

當我放下講章與教導，單單以慈父的態度與他們閒談、聆聽，奇妙的事便發生了。那些平日拘謹的面孔漸漸柔和，話語也不再修飾。當回憶觸及世途險惡的片段時，他們沒有怨懟，反而帶著感恩——因為在這裡，他們經歷了上帝奇妙的醫治與安慰。過去的傷痛，不再只是傷痛，而是成為天父塑造他們為寶貴兒女的印記。我看見，一顆顆曾被世界磨損的心，正在被愛重新修補。

記得一次飯桌上，女主人娓娓道來她的生命傳奇。她的丈夫單純、勤奮、可靠，夫妻倆曾漂泊三大洲，歷盡遷徙之苦。但今天，她終於學會了簡樸中的喜樂，成了名副其實的「快樂的幫助者」。同席眾人以肯定的眼神回應，那無聲的共鳴，比任何掌聲都更真摯。

另有一位姊妹，坦承自己年輕時魯莽衝動，浪費了許多光陰。但當她願意放下固執的框框，周邊的家庭竟立刻起來，以行動支持她。如今她滿有自信，相信假以時日，生命樹的家庭必重新在自己的家園茁壯成長。這不是空話，而是親眼所見的蛻變。

還有一對成熟夫妻，凡事井井有條，雙方都付出百分之百，卻始終無法從關係中得著滿足。丈夫固執，寧可自己多辛苦幾回；妻子也固執，以為忍耐是理所當然。然而在生命點的牧養中，他們學會了真實的交託，從自我捆綁中釋放出來。我知道，這位妻子將成為生命點中被興起的「母蚌」，孕育更多屬靈的生命。

這些家庭，際遇各異，傷痕不同，卻都在天父的愛裡被尋回。有人被賦予堅忍，有人得著勇氣，有人滿懷盼望——他們都曾在人生路上跌撞，但神是公義的，祂必為受屈的伸冤，刻意作惡的必遭報應。這不是消極的等待，而是積極的信任。

此刻，我想祝福每一個家庭：夫妻們，學會把愛聚焦在對方身上吧！你們彼此尋寶，我們只管做好本分。當你們如此行，孤單自然消散，迷惘漸漸清晰。牧羊人必認得自己羊的聲音——孩子們，作天父的兒女是需要底氣的，因為你們是承受產業的後嗣。

感謝主，這次住在Edmond與筱雯的家，寧靜舒適，成為我默想與沉澱的佳美之處。短短五天，我卻看見天父在宇宙中處處留下的慈愛身影。我也立志跟隨這份心腸，學習作教會的好爸爸。願這份為父的溫度，不僅留在奧克蘭，也燃點在悉尼，燃點在每一個渴望被愛尋回的家庭裡。阿們。

On the flight back from Auckland to Sydney, I quietly reflected on our five‑day trip. My heart was full of thanks. Before I left, God had put a clear thought in my mind: this time I was not going as a pastor or counsellor, but as a “father.” I wanted to look at every family and every couple with a father’s eyes – to care for the wife as if she were a daughter not yet married, and to encourage the husband as a son who dares to chase his dreams. It was not a work visit; it was a journey to understand what it means to have a father’s heart.

When I set aside my sermons and teachings, and simply listened to them with a loving father’s attitude, something wonderful happened. Their faces became softer, and their words more open. When they talked about hard times in the world, they did not complain. Instead, they were thankful – because here they had experienced God’s healing and comfort. Their past pains were no longer just pains; they became marks of how God was shaping them as His precious children. I could see that broken hearts were being mended by love.

At one dinner, the hostess shared her life story. Her husband is simple, hard‑working, and reliable. They had lived on three continents and gone through many moves. But now she has learned to find joy in a simple life. She has truly become a “happy helper.” Everyone at the table nodded with warm approval. That silent support was more powerful than any applause.

Another sister admitted that she had been impulsive and wasteful of time in her youth. But when she let go of her stubborn ways, the families around her quickly came to help. Now she is full of confidence. She believes that, in time, her family will grow strong again like a “tree of life” in her own home. This was not just talk – I saw the change with my own eyes.

There was also a mature couple. They did everything in an orderly way and gave 100% to their family, yet neither felt satisfied. The husband was stubborn and preferred to do things his own way; the wife thought she had to put up with it. But through pastoral care, they learned to truly trust God and let go of their self‑binding. I know that this wife will become a “mother pearl” who nurtures many spiritual lives in their community.

These families had different stories and different wounds, but they were all found again in God’s love. Some received endurance, some courage, and some hope. They all had faced troubles in life. But God is just – He will defend the wronged, and those who deliberately do evil will face consequences. This is not passive waiting, but active trust.

Now I want to bless every family: husbands and wives, learn to focus your love on each other. You are each other’s treasure; we just need to do our part. When you do this, loneliness will fade and confusion will become clear. A shepherd knows his sheep’s voice. Dear children, being a child of God takes confidence – because you are heirs to His promises.

Thank God for the quiet and comfortable stay at Edmond and Winnie’s home during these five days. In that short time, I saw God’s loving presence everywhere in this universe. I also make up my mind to follow that heart and learn to be a good “church father.” May this fatherly warmth remain not only in Auckland, but also kindle in Sydney and in every family that longs to be found by love. Amen.

14/06/2026堂主任的話

親愛的弟兄姊妹，最近這段日子，你有留意神正透過不同的途徑向我們說話嗎？

     我們晨禱點燈，即將讀完使徒行傳最後兩章，你對傳福音的熱忱是否被點燃了？主崇「女人歸正」系列，幫助我們成為家中360度的女主人，你有了哪些新的啟發？在月朔回顧「珍珠2.0」特會的重點時，你是否想起了自己過去的生命中，誰曾作你的「母蚌」？剛過去的夫妻營，你對配偶的愛火是否重新燃起？6月20日的戶外傳福音還未到，你是否已經迫不及待地向身邊的朋友分享福音了呢？

     這週主崇，我們將進入「男人回家」系列。當我默想這一切時，心裡不禁問：神究竟想對我們說甚麼？答案漸漸清晰，腦海中浮現兩個詞：「使命」與「召命」。

     「使命」是普遍性的。正如我們611的異象，讓各分堂都有一個基本目標與使命。當這個使命進入不同的人身上，便會因各人當下的角色，衍生出不同的召命，帶來多樣的果效。雖然各人領受的召命不同，卻都朝著同一個使命前進。這樣，整個服事就變得多元而立體。

     然而，我們常常身兼多重身份，這時最重要的是按照當下的處境，以正確的態度回應。認清自己當下的角色，若混亂了，即使論點正確，也難以達到果效，甚至可能產生衝突。正如保羅在林前9:22所說：「向甚麼樣的人，我就作甚麼樣的人。無論如何，總要救些人。」他甘心成為眾人的僕人，只為贏得更多靈魂。使徒保羅的服事態度，正是我們今天應當效法的榜樣。

     在我們教會，從祖母堂2001年開始，發展至今的「樹輪行政架構」與「MG12牧養架構」（可參閱《611生命樹DNA精華錄》），都是神賜下使命後，在不同時間向不同對象發出召命的具體例證。

     祝福大家，在今年「深廣2026」的主題下，活出當下的召命。神對我們的心意，必藉聖靈啟示給每一位願意跟從神的信徒。

Dear brothers and sisters,

     In recent days, have you noticed that God is speaking to us in different ways? In our morning devotions we are about to finish the last two chapters of Acts. Has your passion for sharing the gospel been stirred? In our Sunday service, the "Women Returning to Truth" series helps us become 360-degree hostesses of our home. What new insights have you gained? When we reviewed the key points of the "Pearl 2.0" conference at the New Moon gathering, did you think of someone who was like a "mother oyster" in your past? At the recent couples' retreat, has the flame of love for your spouse been rekindled? The outdoor evangelism on June 20th is still ahead. Are you already eager to share the good news with your friends?

This Sunday, we will begin the "Men Returning Home" series. As I meditated on all these things, I asked in my heart: What is God really trying to say to us? The answer becomes clearer. Two words come to my mind: "Mission" and "Calling."

"Mission" is universal. For example, the vision of our church (611) gives every congregation a basic goal and mission. When this mission enters different people, it produces different callings based on each person's current role, bringing different results. Although each person receives a different calling, we all move toward the same mission. In this way, our service becomes diverse and multi-dimensional.

However, we often have multiple roles at the same time. At such times, the most important thing is to respond with the right attitude according to the situation. We must recognize our current role clearly. If we get confused, even correct opinions may not achieve good results, and may even cause conflict. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:22: "I have become all things to all people, so that by all possible means I might save some." He willingly became a servant to everyone, just to win more souls. The attitude of the apostle Paul is an example for us to follow today.

     In our church, from the grandmother church in 2001 to the present "Tree Ring Administrative Structure" and "MG12 Discipleship Structure" (see "The Essence of the 611 Tree of Life DNA"), these are concrete examples of how God, after giving a mission, gave callings to different people at different times.

May you all live out your present calling under this year's theme, "Deep and Wide 2026." God's will for us will be revealed by the Holy Spirit to every believer who is willing to follow Him.

07/06/2026堂主任的話

親愛的弟兄姊妹：

剛回到大家當中，我們便收到業主的邀請，與鄰居LJ Hooker物業公司開了一個簡短會議。事緣他們的會客室與我們學房僅一牆之隔，當同學實習醫治釋放、用方言禱告時，發出的聲音讓他們的同事感到有些奇特，因而希望了解詳情以釋除疑慮；特別在他們與客戶進行物業拍賣時，更盼望能保持安靜。既是鄰居，我們理當從善如流，即時交換了聯絡電話，方便隨時溝通協調。這也讓我再次思考：甚麼是以人為本的教會。

現在是悉尼的冬天，每天下午五點天色已暗，傍晚氣溫很快降至十二、三度，深夜更只有八、九度甚至更低。C-Mo提議，在這冬季的月朔禱告會改為Zoom上進行，免除大家在寒冷天氣中往返教會。各部門牧區盡早提供當月最新的代禱事項，同工提早預備好簡報後便可回家。我們在6月4日開始了第一次線上聚會，看到大家都聚在屏幕前，一起投入預先選好的敬拜詩歌，也為過去一個月各自經歷神的作為而感恩，此起彼落。為各項事工禱告時，我們看見每一件事工背後，神都興起了合適的同工——學房學生、委身義工、弟兄姊妹一同參與，事工在喜樂中增長。BB媽媽小組的熱情欲罷不能；榮崇對家中長輩的誠摯邀請，讓崇拜後的午餐充滿歡笑，大家都口腹滿足；兒崇中孩子的父母，漸漸變成其他孩童也熟悉的Uncle、Auntie，這份連結格外溫馨。連同BBQ公園外展傳福音，都是以人為本。我們更勇敢使用「喜悅」近年的地道生命見證，讓「喜悅」信仰更真實。也盼望安排在公眾假期中的夫妻日營，能為渴慕婚姻如魚得水、和諧合一的您倆加糖加油，讓關係更甜美順暢。

願聖靈在我們當中自由運行，使我們都得著自由，不壓抑，得著釋放。

Dear brothers and sisters,

Soon after I returned to you, we received an invitation from our landlord to have a short meeting with our neighbour, LJ Hooker real estate agency. Their meeting room shares a wall with our classroom. When our students practise healing and deliverance and pray in tongues, the sounds made some of their staff feel a little strange. So they wanted to understand what we do. During their property auctions, they especially hope for a quieter environment. As neighbours, we should be thoughtful. We exchanged phone numbers so we can contact each other easily and cooperate. This made me think again: what does it mean to be a people-centred church?

It is winter in Sydney now. The sun sets around 5 pm, and the temperature quickly drops to 12–13°C in the evening, and to only 8–9°C or lower at night. C-Mo suggested that during this winter, we hold the monthly new moon prayer meeting on Zoom. This way, no one needs to travel to and from church in the cold weather. Each ministry should provide their prayer requests for the month as early as possible. The staff can prepare the slides early and then go home. We started the first online prayer meeting on 4 June. We saw everyone gathered in front of their screens, enjoying the pre-selected worship songs together, and giving thanks for how God worked in each of our lives over the past month — one after another. As we prayed for different ministries, we saw that behind each one, God has raised up suitable co-workers, our students, dedicated volunteers, and brothers and sisters. The ministries are growing with joy. The BB Mums’ Group can’t get enough of meeting together. The Honour Senior Ministry sincerely invites the elderly in our families, and the lunch after worship is full of laughter and good food. In Children’s Ministry, parents have become “Uncle” and “Auntie” to other children as well — a special bond. Our BBQ park outreach also puts people first. We are becoming bolder in using the recent life testimonies of “Favor 611” to make faith in Favor more real. We also hope that the couples’ day camp, held on a public holiday, will add sweetness and encouragement to your marriage, helping you grow in harmony and love.

May the Holy Spirit move freely among us, so that we all receive freedom — not suppressed, but set free.

31/05/2026堂主任的話

親愛的弟兄姊妹，

回到大家中間還不到24小時，C-Mo的身體就開始出狀況了。她因為喉嚨痛，只能留在家中休息。48小時後，醫生診斷出肺部有發炎的症状。而五天後，我的喉嚨也開始發炎，不得不一起躺下來休息。

這段日子，我們就這樣往返診所，窩在床上。C-Mo把抗生素當作主食，我呢，則以感冒藥當作點心。說笑之餘，心裡忽然深深體會——身體健康是多麼重要，能安穩地睡上一覺，又是多麼值得感恩。

在這互相照顧、同病相憐的日子裡，一方面因為事工被迫推遲而焦急，一方面也因身體不適而有些情緒。老實說，我們兩個人之間，也難免有摩擦。但就在這些互動中，神讓我看見自己內心的軟弱——我還是那個以為什麼事都能自己扛的人。說穿了，那是固執，是自以為是。

我慢慢明白，事工從來都是團隊的合作。再興旺的事工，也必然挑戰著我們內心的取捨。然而，事工最終的目的，是為了建立人的生命，使人成為生命樹。這當中所需要的，正是：承擔責任、溫柔良善、饒恕寬容、活出真實、熱情勇敢、接納自己、接納他人、慈愛體諒、勇於表達、情緒穩定、忍耐節制、溝通表達、自由創意——這些，都是我們教會核心的價值方向。

最近教會的主崇系列講到「女人歸正」，我想大家或多或少都已經有了一些自我反省。那麼，不如在即將來臨的兩天「生命樹夫妻營」裡，讓我們更進一步——透過坦誠的互動，讓彼此的關係重新回到浪漫的時刻。一起學習拒絕「分別善惡樹」的誘惑，不再急著論斷對錯，而是專注於珍惜身邊的那一位。

這兩天，不妨暫時把孩子們安頓好，專心投入自己的婚姻。我相信，一定會有意想不到的驚喜。

與您們一起往生命樹的道路上同行的，

Pastor Joe 與 Stella C-Mo

During this time, we take care of each other — two sick people helping each other. On one hand, we feel anxious because some ministry work has to be delayed. On the other hand, we get a bit emotional because of the sickness. Honestly, we also had some small conflicts. But through these interactions, God showed me my own weakness. I still thought I could handle everything by myself. But really, that is stubbornness and pride.

Now I understand more clearly: ministry is always teamwork. Even a growing ministry will challenge what is inside our hearts. But the purpose of ministry is always to build people’s lives and help them become trees of life. What we need for this is: taking responsibility, being kind and gentle, forgiving and tolerating, living truthfully, being brave and passionate, accepting ourselves, accepting others, loving and understanding, expressing honestly, staying emotionally steady, being patient and self-controlled, communicating well, and being free and creative. These are the core values of our church.

Recently in our Sunday messages, we talked about “women returning to what is right.” I think many of us have already done some self-reflection. So in the upcoming two-day “Tree of Life Couples Camp,” let us go a step further. Through honest sharing, let our relationships return to romantic moments. Let us learn together to refuse the temptation of the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” — stop rushing to judge who is right or wrong, and instead treasure the person beside us.

During these two days, try to arrange for the children to be cared for, and focus on your marriage. I believe there will be surprises waiting for you.

Walking with you on the road of the Tree of Life,

Pastor Joe and Stella C-Mo

24/05/2026堂主任的話

  在我和C-Mo 回港期間，感謝同工們過去每清晨帶領晨禱，閱讀使徒行傳，已過了12章，想以蒙恩的感恩來為大家作一小結。

     初代使徒傳福音的生命，他們沒有高深的學問，沒有顯赫的地位，甚至沒有宗教權威的支持，卻能將福音從耶路撒冷直傳到外邦。他們的特色是什麼？是順服聖靈的引導、不懼逼迫、甘願奉獻、並將一切榮耀歸給神。你有沒有被深深震撼呢！

     今天，我們蒙恩成為基督徒，回望使徒的腳蹤，心中除了感恩，也要從中學習，我不再靠自己的能力。使徒行傳中，彼得、約翰本是沒有學問的小民，卻能勇敢見證耶穌復活。他們醫治瘸腿者，不是靠自己的虔誠，而是「奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名」。我被提醒：今日我能成為基督徒，不是我比別人好，而是神白白賜下的恩典。我無需靠行為賺取救恩，只需單單信靠耶穌。這份不配得的恩典，叫我低頭感恩。

     當讀到司提反被石頭打死時，仍仰望天，看見神的榮耀。彼得被囚在監裡，卻能在天使面前安穩睡覺。這樣的平安，不是環境給的，而是從神而來。今天我們活在相對自由的社會，或許未經歷身體的逼迫，但生活中仍有壓力、批評、孤單。然而使徒的見證告訴我：無論遭遇什麼，主與我同在。祂必救我脫離一切的恐懼，正如祂救彼得脫離希律的手。

     然而，福音無界限卻讓我知道我的使命，也是最感動我，是神打破猶太人與外邦人的牆。彼得本來只向猶太人傳道，神卻用異象告訴他：「神所潔淨的，你不可當作俗物。」哥尼流全家得救，門徒被稱為「基督徒」從安提阿起首。我就是外邦人，本與基督無關，如今卻因神的恩典，得以同為後嗣，同蒙應許。想到這裡，珍珠2.0特會，作為曾被包的珍珠，怎能不感恩？

     弟兄姊妹你願能成為流通的管子嗎？巴拿巴慷慨賣田，奉獻給教會；腓利順服使者，走向曠野之路；亞拿尼亞放下恐懼，為掃羅按手。他們都是平凡人，卻被神使用。今天我們雖然微小，也願像他們一樣，將福音分享出去，何況你們從先知課學到的，更應好好運用。

     使徒行傳不是一本歷史書，而是一封邀請函——邀請我們參與神的救贖計劃。蒙恩成為基督徒，不是終點，而是起點。願我們一生帶著感恩的心，效法使徒，順服聖靈，放膽見證那位復活的主。因為我本是外人，如今卻成了神家裡的人了。阿們。

While C-Mo and I were away in Hong Kong, I want to thank our coworkers for leading morning devotions every day. We have been reading the Book of Acts together and have just finished  12 chapters I would like to share a short summary with you from a heart of grateful thanksgiving.

The early apostles shared the gospel without advanced education, high status, or religious authority. Yet they brought the gospel all the way from Jerusalem to the Gentiles. What made them special? They obeyed the Holy Spirit, were not afraid of persecution, gave generously, and gave all glory to God. Doesn't that deeply move you?

Today, we are blessed to be Christians. Looking back at the footsteps of the apostles, our hearts are filled not only with thanks but also with things to learn. I no longer rely on my own ability. In Acts, Peter and John were ordinary, uneducated men, yet they bravely testified about Jesus' resurrection. They healed a lame man not by their own goodness but "in the name of Jesus of Nazareth." I am reminded: I am a Christian today not because I am better than others, but because God gives grace freely. I don't need to earn salvation by my works. I only need to trust in Jesus. This undeserved grace makes me bow my head in thanks.

When I read about Stephen being stoned, he still looked up to heaven and saw God's glory. Peter was in prison, yet he could sleep peacefully in the presence of an angel. This peace did not come from the environment but from God. Today we live in a relatively free society. We may not face physical persecution, but we still face pressure, criticism, and loneliness. Yet the testimony of the apostles tells me: No matter what happens, the Lord is with me. He will save me from all fear, just as He saved Peter from Herod's hand.

The gospel has no boundaries, and this shows me my mission. What moves me most is that God broke down the wall between Jews and Gentiles. Peter used to preach only to Jews, but God told him through a vision: "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." Cornelius and his whole family were saved, and the disciples were first called "Christians" in Antioch. I am a Gentile. I had nothing to do with Christ. But now by God's grace, I am a fellow heir and share in the promise. When I think about this, and about the Pearl 2.0 Conference — as a pearl that was once wrapped up — how can I not be thankful?

Brothers and sisters, do you want to be a channel of blessing? Barnabas generously sold his field and gave to the church. Philip obeyed the angel and went to the desert road. Ananias let go of his fear and laid hands on Saul. They were ordinary people, but God used them. Although we are small today, may we be like them and share the gospel. And since you have learned from the Prophecy Class, you should put it to good use.

The Book of Acts is not just a history book. It is an invitation — inviting us to take part in God's plan of salvation. Becoming a Christian by grace is not the end; it is the beginning. May we live our whole lives with thankful hearts, follow the example of the apostles, obey the Holy Spirit, and boldly testify about the risen Lord. For I was once an outsider, but now I am part of God's own family. Amen.

17/05/2026堂主任的話

   感謝神，今年回到香港，聽到張C-Mo的感動下，認識一位單親母親，她獨自創業，在COVID 期間，研發出「Innotier 」專利抗菌純銀線織入技術。為我們611 制作口罩，其編織布料經500次清洗後，仍無損其滅毒抗菌功能。趕及在堂慶期間在香港青橄欖特價發售，傳達愛與保護的心聲。母親節在「611靈糧堂」俱有特殊意義，因她就是在2001年的母親節誕生，培南C-Mo 的”我想做C-Mo” 一書，便道出「她作為教會的母親」可以何奇多姿多彩，為教會注入新鮮氣息，C-Mo 這詞在611教會中，並非僅指是某某牧師的太太，其意義更代表是教會的母親，我們特別尊重。其實在每一個家庭，我們也強調母親的重要，今年母親節崇拜，特別看到週六ANEW崇拜每一 位年輕人站在台上為自己母親獻上感恩，我也代表大家「喜悅611」在「奇妙」母堂母親節崇拜中獻上感恩祝福。

今年在港渡過母親節，能與家族中一羣年青媽媽們一起興祝，閒談間，知道她們如何為了保護自己的孩子，勇敢的站出來，不畏恐懼。

然而，若你來自一個沒有了母親家庭，卻也是無比哀痛，今天我們領受教會有爸爸有媽媽，從此凡在地上經歷失去肉身父母的，都可存著盼望，在教會從新得著。

若要更深入認識這母親特質，一連八輯「鐘情611 」在香港611的25週年期間制作：從相遇；就位；關鍵2000；夢想；名稱；更新；C-Mo和連結。大家可自由在YouTube 觀看。

Thank God. After returning to Hong Kong this year, I heard from Zhang C-Mo and was moved to get to know a single mother who started her own business. During COVID, she developed a special antibacterial silver-thread technology called "Innotier." She made masks for Church 611. This special fabric can be washed 500 times and still kill viruses and bacteria. These masks were sold at a special price during our Grand mother church anniversary at Hong Kong Green Olive, sharing a message of love and protection.

Mother’s Day is very special at “611 Bread of Life Christian Church.” Our Grand mother church was born on Mother’s Day in 2001. Pei Nan C-Mo’s book “I Want to Be a C-Mo” explains how being a “mother of the church” can be rich and beautiful, bringing fresh life to the church. At 611, the word “C-Mo” is not just a pastor’s wife. It means “mother of the church,” and we deeply respect that.

We also emphasize the importance of mothers in every family. This year’s Mother’s Day service was special. I saw young people at the Saturday ANEW service stand on stage and give thanks for their mothers. On behalf of everyone at “Favor 611,” I also gave thanks and blessings at the “Wonderful 611” mother church’s Mother’s Day service.

This year, I celebrated Mother’s Day in Hong Kong with a group of young moms in my family. While chatting, I learned how bravely they stand up to protect their children, without fear.

But if you come from a family without a mother, that is deeply painful. Today, we receive the church as having both a father and a mother. So for anyone who has lost their physical parents on earth, you can have hope and find a new family in the church.

If you want to understand more about this motherly heart, watch the eight-episode series “Love 611,” made during Hong Kong 611’s 25th anniversary. Topics include: Meeting, Taking Your Place, The Critical Year 2000, Dream, Name, Renewal, C-Mo, and Connection. You can watch freely on YouTube.

非常感謝香港611接待這麽多海外團隊。在這次珍珠2.0特會，昔日沙粒被母蚌所包，轉化為珍珠的，已經開始孕育珍珠了，在每埸的見證裏，新珍珠都述說出，生命中的種種困難，基本上，按著世界的方式，大家只會有一個結果，就是壞結果，分別只會是壞到那裏，才引發爆雷，一發不可收拾。卻在大家心中替他們擔憂的時候，新珍珠射出⋯⋯閃耀光芒。

但當我個人反省時，心中的忐忑，顯然不會是我能成為那母蚌啦，這實在太難了。然而，那真的不是人所能及的，背後卻充滿着神的Kindness，仍相信人若在神的手裏，我們只管作一個溫柔謙卑同行者，在需要時，成為他們一點點的支持。

近年，我們611口中，常掛著生命樹、作生命樹、要有生命樹氣息、氛圍等等…，其實說白的，我們教會就是對付生命的教會。這次給我看到一個亮點，起初神說，男人獨居不好，要造一個配偶(太太)幫助他，那麽作丈夫身份的，怎能幫回作丈夫幫助者的呢！(Husband can’t help husband’s helper)。因此「女人歸正」就有其必要了，聖靈參透萬事，順著母親節的流，我們主崇將開展「女人歸正」系列。與大家一起進入生命樹的牧養，也是回應珍珠2.0的喜悅生命篇。

Thank God for Hong Kong 611 for hosting so many overseas teams. At this Pearl 2.0 conference, those who were once grains of sand, enveloped by the oyster and transformed into pearls, have already begun to nurture new pearls. In every testimony, these “new pearls” shared the many hardships in their lives. By worldly standards, there would only be one outcome—bad results. The only difference would be how severe the situation becomes before it explodes and spirals out of control. Yet, just when everyone felt concerned for them, these new pearls shone forth… radiating with brilliance.

However, as I personally reflect, I feel a sense of uneasiness. Clearly, I myself cannot become that “mother oyster”—it is simply too difficult. Indeed, this is not something humanly possible. Behind it all is God’s kindness. We still believe that when a person is in God’s hands, we only need to be gentle and humble companions, offering a little support when needed.

In recent years, within 611, we often speak about the Tree of Life—being a Tree of Life, carrying the atmosphere and fragrance of the Tree of Life, and so on. Simply put, our church is one that deals with life. This time, I saw a key highlight: in the beginning, God said it is not good for man to be alone, so He made a helper (a wife) for him. But then, how can a husband help the one who is meant to be his helper? (A husband can’t help the husband’s helper.) Therefore, the “restoration of women” becomes necessary. The Holy Spirit searches all things. In line with Mother’s Day, our Sunday services will launch a new series on the “Restoration of Women.” Together, we will enter into shepherding through the Tree of Life, responding also to the Favor611 life theme of Pearl 2.0.

回想2016年12月，Stella C-mo和我剛從611學房畢業，並開始留在611總堂學習服事，成為受訓同工，翌年2017蒙恩參與第一次珍珠特會，領受恩膏，其正式名稱為「國際教牧及職場領袖復興特會——珍珠」，事隔九年，今天我們喜悅611已成為海外孫子分堂及悉尼學房直播點，這次與同工、學房同學和會友一共10人回到屬靈母蚌之家，共同出席參與珍珠2.0特會，實在喜出望愛，心存感恩，願未來這幾天，領受<珍珠>恩膏。回來必與大家細味這次行程收穫，分享其中精華領受。

     其間，也會多停留一點日子與家人相聚，也代表大家問候母堂奇妙611 錦華牧師妙兒師母平安，祝福新殿工程進展順利。

     感謝留守在此的衆同工，神必親自保守帶領，祝福弟兄姊妹身體健康，參加先知一的同學，努力不懈，特別記念兒童小兵家長的熱情投入，榮耀崇拜的好朋友，忠心的敬拜團隊，BB Group的幼兒和家長喜樂成長，祝福每次崇拜大家都經歷神的臨在，謝謝各招待服侍義工弟兄姊妹。並先祝福大家母親節快樂，衆母親都得着丈夫疼愛，兒女孝順。22/5週五晚回來悉尼，再見大家啦🤗

Looking back to December 2016, Stella C-mo and I had just graduated from 611 Leadership institutes . We stayed at the 611 headquarters to continue learning and serving as trainees. In 2017, by God’s grace, we joined the Pearl Conference for the first time and received the anointing. Its full name is the International Pastors and Marketplace Leaders Revival Conference — Pearl.

Now, nine years later, Favor 611 has become an overseas granddaughter church and a live-stream learning center in Sydney. This time, a group of 10 of us—co-workers, students, and church members—are returning to our spiritual mother (clam) church to attend the Pearl 2.0 Conference together. We are truly filled with joy beyond expectation and with thankful hearts. In the coming days, we pray to receive the “Pearl” anointing. When we return, we will share more with you and reflect together on what we have received.

During this trip, we will also stay a little longer to spend time with family. On behalf of everyone, we send our greetings to our mother church, Wonderful 611, and pray for peace upon Pastor Kam Wah and Pastor Louisa C-mo. We also bless the new church building project to go smoothly.

We thank all the co-workers who are staying and serving faithfully. May God personally protect and lead you. We bless all brothers and sisters with good health. To the students attending Prophetic Section 1—keep going with perseverance. We especially remember the parents of the children’s army for your passionate involvement, our dear friends in the Glory Worship Service, the faithful worship team, and the toddlers and parents in BB Group as they grow with joy. May every worship service be filled with God’s presence. Thank you also to all the ushers and serving volunteers.

Finally, we wish all of you a blessed Mother’s Day. May all mothers be loved by their husbands and honored by their children.

We will return to Sydney on Friday night, 22 May. See you all soon 🤗

自22/3 我們主崇開始了「伊甸園系列」，過去那一週的內容，讓你應用到生活中呢？我們就來一起回顧些吧。

     從神為伊甸園以四條河流圍繞的心意，喜悅611要領受以此為方向，作屬靈的伊甸園，經歷這四種能力：包括比遜河（增加）、基訓河（衝出）、底格里斯河（快速）、幼發拉底河（豐盛）。我們積極留意身邊可善用的資源；在瓶頸時，仍相信神要為你我衝出一條路God will make a way ；當時機出現，就跟隨神的恩膏，不猶豫、不退後；而在每一個實際的環境，勇敢發揮我們的影響力，結出豐盛果子。

     之後在29/3 我們以重建伊甸園的婚姻——奪回你的小伊甸為主題，神原本設計婚姻：丈夫修理看守，妻子是合適的幫助者。但古蛇的聲音進來後，伊甸變戰場——夏娃模糊神的話，亞當逃避又推卸責任，結果彼此拉扯傷害。今天我們選擇要回到神的美意裏，與配偶並肩重建伊甸：丈夫從逃避者變成承擔者，拿起保護的權柄；妻子從嫌棄者變成成全者，活出幫助者的榮耀。請記住，真正的敵人是魔鬼，不要認同牠的聲音。

     接著12/4 我們就從先祖亞當夏娃生所生的第一代，尋回神同在的祝福——從自我中心轉向求告神。該隱與亞伯獻祭的故事提醒我們：神看中的不是祭物，而是獻祭的心。體貼肉體就是死，體貼聖靈才是生命平安。而逆轉的路在《歷代志下》7:14：自卑、禱告、尋求神的面、轉離惡行。咒詛要變祝福，沒有捷徑——就是回頭尋求神。

     上週19/4我們就更從創世家譜裏，在世代更迭中領受深廣的恩典——你選擇哪一條血脈？地上有兩種血脈：該隱的後代與塞特的後代。我們要選擇塞特這邊——雖是輭弱，卻開始求告耶和華的名、選擇與神相近。到以諾那代，他與神同行三百年，直接被神接去，永遠與神同在；而因着挪亞，在他的世代被神稱為義人，揀選了來承擔建造方舟，等後神洪水的審判。神今天透過聖靈，不斷光照我們的生命時，就快快從「靠自己」轉向「求告神」？並且願意起來，在肉身或屬靈裏生養衆多，建立一個敬畏神的家庭，當我們帶一個人信主，牧養一個人成長，漸漸便可延伸至整個家族，我們就同心合意一起重建伊甸，讓來到我們喜悦611的每一個家庭都領受神又深又廣的恩典。

Since 22/3, our Sunday service has started the “Eden Series.” How have you applied those weeks’s message in your daily life? Let us review together.

From God’s design of surrounding the Garden of Eden with four rivers, Favor611 is to receive this direction—to become a spiritual Eden and experience these four kinds of power: the Pishon River (increase), the Gihon River (breakthrough), the Tigris River (speed), and the Euphrates River (abundance). We should actively pay attention to the resources around us and make good use of them. When facing difficulties, we still believe that God will make a way for us. When the opportunity comes, follow God’s anointing without hesitation or turning back. In every real situation, be bold to use our influence and bear abundant fruit.

Then on 29/3, we spoke about rebuilding the Eden of marriage—taking back your little Eden. God originally designed marriage so that the husband would tend and keep it, and the wife would be a suitable helper. But when the voice of the serpent came in, Eden became a battlefield—Eve blurred God’s word, and Adam avoided responsibility and shifted blame, resulting in conflict and hurt. Today, we choose to return to God’s original plan and rebuild Eden together with our spouse: the husband changes from one who avoids responsibility to one who takes responsibility and exercises authority to protect; the wife changes from one who complains to one who completes, living out the glory of being a helper. Remember, the real enemy is the devil—do not agree with his voice.

Then on 12/4, we looked at the first generation born to Adam and Eve, to recover the blessing of God’s presence—turning from self-centeredness to calling on God. The story of Cain and Abel reminds us that what God values is not the offering itself, but the heart behind it. To follow the flesh leads to death, but to follow the Spirit brings life and peace. The way to turn things around is in 2 Chronicles 7:14: humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face, and turn from wicked ways. For curses to become blessings, there is no shortcut—we must turn back to God.

Last week, on 19/4, we looked into the genealogy in Genesis and received God’s deep and wide grace through the generations. Which lineage will you choose? There are two lineages on earth: the line of Cain and the line of Seth. We choose the line of Seth—even though it seems weak, it began to call on the name of the Lord and draw near to God. By the time of Enoch, he walked with God for three hundred years and was taken by God, to be with Him forever. Through Noah, God found a righteous man in his generation and chose him to build the ark before the flood judgment.

Today, when God shines His light on our lives through the Holy Spirit, will we quickly turn from “relying on ourselves” to “calling on God”? And be willing to be fruitful and multiply, physically or spiritually, building a God-fearing family. When we lead one person to Christ and nurture one person to grow, it can gradually extend to the whole family line. Together, with one heart and mind, we rebuild Eden, so that every family that comes to Favor611 may receive God’s deep and abundant grace.

弟兄姊妹，我們一起在晨禱中讀傳道書，不知不覺已讀到第8章，下週再多讀4章就完成整卷書了。我為大家的堅持感恩，也為神話語在我們中間的運行感恩。

傳道書一開始就問：「人在日光之下的一切勞碌，有甚麼益處呢？」其實，這句話不只是經文，也常常是我們心裡的呼喊。我們每天那麼努力，有時真的會問：這一切，到底為了甚麼？傳道者很誠實地告訴我們，很多事不斷重複，人所抓住的東西，到頭來很容易流逝，甚至帶來一種說不出的空虛。

但請不要灰心。傳道書不是要我們放棄勞碌，而是幫助我們看清：神讓人經歷勞苦，其實是一個塑造我們的過程。重點不是我們做了多少，而是我們有沒有在當中更認識神、也更認識自己。

我很喜歡書中那幾句溫暖的提醒：人能吃喝，在勞碌中享福，原來是神的恩賜。換句話說，真正的滿足，不必等到將來某個「成功時刻」，而是今天，在神已經給我們的那一份裡。我們願不願意停一停，簡單地感恩、簡單地領受？

當然，我們的口和心，常常偏離神。說得多了，想得多了，反而更累。傳道者卻把我們帶回一個很單純的起點：「你只要敬畏神。」這句話聽起來簡單，卻是整卷書的核心。當我們願意退一步，承認神的作為我測不透，有些處境我也改變不了，心裡反而開始有了安息。

其實，人本來是神所造、正直的，只是我們常常走偏了。內心的混亂，很多時候不是環境的問題，而是我們離開了神的心意。真正的智慧，不是能解釋一切，而是在不明白中，仍然選擇敬畏神、信靠神。這樣的人，外面不一定完美，內心卻是穩妥的。

最後，我也想和大家分享一份感恩。女兒過去兩個月身體不適，我和Stella C-mo心情起伏，感謝大家一直為我們禱告。現在她漸漸好轉，我們也學習安心。傳道書說天下萬務都有定時，我們就放心經歷每一天，安靜等待那位掌管時間的神。

願我們在忙碌中，不忘敬畏，也不忘領受祂已賜下的喜樂。

Dear brothers and sisters, we have been reading Ecclesiastes together during morning devotions . We've already finished chapters 1 through 8, and next week we will complete the final four chapters. I am truly grateful for everyone's persistence and for how God's Word is moving among us.

Ecclesiastes opens with this question: "What profit has a man from all his labor under the sun?" To be honest, this isn't just a verse — it's often the cry of our own hearts. We work so hard every day, and sometimes we really ask: what is all this for? The Preacher honestly tells us that many things just repeat themselves, and the things we hold onto so tightly can easily slip away, leaving us with a sense of emptiness.

But please don't lose heart. Ecclesiastes isn't telling us to give up on work. Rather, it helps us see that God allows us to experience toil as a way to shape us. The point isn't how much we accomplish, but whether we come to know God — and ourselves — more deeply in the process.

I especially love the warm reminder in this book: to eat, drink, and find satisfaction in our work is a gift from God. In other words, true contentment doesn't have to wait for some future "moment of success." It is available today, right here in what God has already given us. Are we willing to pause, to simply give thanks, and to receive?

Of course, our mouths and hearts often wander away from God. We talk too much, think too much, and end up even more exhausted. But the Preacher brings us back to a very simple starting point: "Fear God." That sounds simple, yet it is the heart of the whole book. When we are willing to step back and admit that God's ways are beyond us — that some situations are beyond our control — a kind of rest begins to grow in our hearts.

The truth is, God made us upright, but we have gone our own way. Much of our inner confusion and emptiness doesn't come from our circumstances, but from drifting away from God's original purpose for us. True wisdom is not the ability to explain everything, but the choice to fear and trust God even when we don't understand. Such a person may not have a perfect life on the outside, but on the inside, they are secure.

Finally, I want to share a word of thanks. Over the past two months, our daughter has been unwell, and Stella and I have experienced many ups and downs. Thank you so much for praying for us. She is gradually getting better now, and we are learning to rest in God. As Ecclesiastes says, there is a time for everything. So we will walk through each day at ease, quietly waiting for the God who holds all time in His hands.

May the Lord help us, in our busy lives, to simply fear Him and quietly receive the joy He has already given us.

   復活節學校長假期 、受難節Good Friday 戶外浸禮、逾越節晚會、觀看Sight & Sound 大型JESUS舞台劇電影和週六Family Fun Run ，把過去一週填得滿滿。但有一點卻讓我和C-mo很開心，就是有幾位年輕人在學校假期中，選擇回教會晨禱，看到她們的渴慕，心中就聯想到……

     最近晨禱開始連續三星期讀舊約傳道書，我們從那「在耶路撒冷作王、大衞的兒子、傳道者的言語……」一起反省，應如何面對當下的處境，面對那些重覆、周而復始的處境，以什麼態度回應；日光之下，若勞碌仍虛空，還需勞碌嗎？成果既無法長久擁有，人無法帶走一切勞碌中，卻說人應在「勞碌中享福」，看似矛盾的觀點，我們就一章一章，一起來反省貫穿整卷傳道書吧。週中那幾天，晨禱到來的年輕大專生，清晨與她們一起點燈，也叫同工們得着安慰鼓勵，實在也是出於神的手。

     當安靜下來，回想Stella C-mo 有意從創世記中深入思考神的救贖創造時，母堂妙兒媽媽就為我們主日崇拜，先定下屬靈調子，開始了創世伊甸園系列，於是我們就一起發掘屬靈寶庫：打造豐盛、突破、快速、有果效的伊甸園特式教會；夫妻定意重塑合神心意最初伊甸之家；開鑿逆轉重回伊甸蒙福之路，使弟兄姊妹都要成為世代蒙恩之生命樹。我們就每天都分出時間來，回應樂於把啟示賜給我們的主，以方言禱告開始，必有果效。

The Easter school holidays were packed with many meaningful events — the Good Friday outdoor baptism, the Passover celebration night, watching the large-scale JESUS stage film by Sight & Sound, and the Family Fun Run on Saturday. But what made C-mo and me the happiest was seeing several young people come back to church for morning devotions during their school break. Their hunger for God reminded us of something deeper…

In our recent morning devotions , we have been reading the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes for three weeks in a row. Starting from the words, “The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem…”, we have been reflecting on how to face life’s seasons and the repeated cycles we often encounter. If all our labor under the sun is “vanity,” should we still toil? When we can’t keep the results of our efforts forever, and take nothing with us when we go, why does the Teacher still say it is good to enjoy our work? As we go through the book chapter by chapter, we continue to seek what God wants to remind us about the meaning of life. Seeing young university students come early to light the lamps together during morning devotions has deeply encouraged and comforted our co-workers — it is truly the hand of God at work.

     When I quiet down and recall how Stella C-mo has been thoughtfully exploring God’s creation and redemption through Genesis, I’m thankful that the mother church’s Pastor Louisa has set the spiritual tone for our Sunday services by beginning the Garden of Eden Series. Together, we are uncovering this spiritual treasure: to build a fruitful, breakthrough-filled, and life-giving “Eden-type” church; to rebuild families into “homes after God’s own heart” as in Eden; and to open the way back to a blessed Eden life, where every brother and sister becomes a tree of life to their generation. Each day, we make time to respond to the Lord who delights in giving us revelation. As we start with praying in tongues, fruit will surely come.

～神真好，肯做就有～

     在今年年初，原先有一位會友查詢何時再舉辦洗禮，我們就計劃，想到可在復活節假期中安排，就是這樣，定了3/4/2026教會戶外日，在Putney Park沙灘活動中，舉行洗禮。這天是自上次教會營中13/12/2025為八位弟兄姊妹洗禮後，相隔只有四個月時間，那知在前一晚(2/4)的守逾越節時，又多一位確認也願意參加洗禮，心中感恩，神就是這樣好，肯做就有，加多一倍，成為有兩位的受浸者。

     但主的恩典更是數之不盡，當天在敬拜讚美後，聖靈感動我，要我先問大家有誰仍未受洗的，之後才解釋受洗意義，當公開問完信德，正在準備為最早報名的二位～Bernice 和參加逾越節才決定受洗的婷婷時，Ashley 和Harvey 的父母，都站出來也願意接受洗禮。從0 到1，再從1到5。信而受洗 ，事就這樣成了。我們在此再次感謝神的恩典憐憫，保守今次五位接受灑水禮的新萄，一生都交在主的手裏，成就每一個主的應許。

     在今天世界動盪不安，正是催迫我們加快傳福音的步伐，肯做最有，弟兄姊妹，我們相信，我們發出的每一個邀請，都必得著回應，在深廣2026中，一同經歷神的同作，把身邊的家人、朋友，帶到主前，讓主作工。

God is so good — when we are willing, He provides!

     At the beginning of this year, a church member asked when the next baptism would be held. So, we started planning and decided to include it in our Easter holiday program. That’s how we set our Church Outdoor Day on 3 April 2026 at Putney Park, where we would have a beach activity and a baptism.  

     It had only been four months since the last baptism at the church camp on 13 December 2025, when eight brothers and sisters were baptized. The night before this new baptism (2 April), during our Passover celebration, another person came forward, confirming their desire to be baptized as well. My heart was full of gratitude — God truly is good. When we are willing to act, He provides abundantly. The number of candidates doubled from one to two!  

     But God’s grace didn’t stop there. On the baptism day, after worship, the Holy Spirit moved me to ask who among us had not yet been baptized, before I even explained what baptism means. After sharing about faith and baptism, we prepared for the two participants — Bernice and Ting Ting (who decided to join after her husband’s blessing during Passover). At that moment, Ashley and Harvey’s parents also stood up and said they wanted to be baptized too! From zero to one, and then from one to five — “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.” Just like that, it happened!  

     We give thanks again for God’s wonderful grace and mercy. May the five new members baptized by sprinkling be kept in the Lord’s hands, growing in faith and living out His promises.  

     In this troubled world, the urgency to spread the gospel grows stronger. Dear brothers and sisters, when we take action, God blesses our work. Every invitation we make will receive a response. In Deep and Wide 2026, let us experience God’s work together — bringing our family and friends to the Lord and letting Him move among us.

29/03/2026堂主任的話

在為啟示錄七教會作終極篇時，一句重復的句子：「我知道你的行為…」，緊緊抓住我的眼球，原來神一直是看着我們，每一個人的生活方式、價值抉擇，以及對神的忠誠。

     「老底嘉」在希臘文原意有衆人的權利，當絕大部份人都只看著個人的事務、人的意見，非聖靈的引導時，很容易就歪了，難怪使徒約翰寫下「你 說 ： 我 是 富 足 ， 已 經 發 了 財 ， 一 樣 都 不 缺 ； 卻 不 知 道 你 是 那 困 苦 、 可 憐 、 貧 窮 、 瞎 眼 、 赤 身 的 。」在一般世界觀點，做錯了，才受責備，而然老底嘉顯然不是這樣，「 凡 我 所 疼 愛 的 ， 我 就 責 備 管 教 他…啟3:19a」

     喜悅611 正在領受聖靈帶我們進入伊甸與神同工的流裏，我們就一起反省，放下自滿與驕傲、順服神的管教，以及在試煉中堅持對神的依靠，不要呆著等候，不要光活在自我世界中，是行動的時候了，今天神已在門外叩門，我們彼此喚起沈睡的靈，作個回復熱誠的老底嘉人。

     讓保羅在《羅馬書》12:11「殷勤不可懶惰；要心裡火熱，常常服事主。」成為我們的座右銘。

As I come to the final message on the seven churches in Revelation, one repeated sentence stands out to me: “I know your deeds.”  It reminds me that God is always watching us — our way of life, the values we choose, and how faithful we are to Him.

     The name Laodicea in Greek means “the rights of the people.” When most people only care about their own interests or follow human opinions rather than the guidance of the Holy Spirit, things easily go off track.  That is why John wrote, “You say, ‘I am rich; I have everything I need,’ but you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.”  

     In the world’s view, people are only corrected when they make mistakes, but that is not how God works. As it says in Revelation 3:19, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.” At Favor 611, the Holy Spirit is leading us to walk with God in the flow of Eden. Let us reflect together, lay down our pride and self-satisfaction, accept God’s loving correction, and keep trusting Him through trials.  

It is not the time to stay still or live only by worldly ways — it is time to move and act!  

     Today, God is already knocking at the door. Let us awaken one another from spiritual sleep and become passionate followers of God again, like a renewed Laodicean church. May Paul’s words in Romans 12:11 encourage us all: “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.”

22/03/2026堂主任的話

   「喜悅」要踏進第八年了，我再次默想到啟示錄中，那間並未受責備的教會「非拉鐵非」的特質時，驚訝老約翰的描述，發現耶穌與我們的關係竟是這樣關係牢固。

「…那拿著大衛鑰匙的…」，那位掌握天國與歷史終極鑰匙的主，有一天站在你身旁說：「我知道你的力量，顯然只是微少甚至單薄的，在跟隨我的路上，你曾遵守，但失敗的也不少，正當有撒但用謊話來說：「看你這樣，神怎會愛你！」，我在身旁也倒吸一陣涼氣，然而你沒有選擇棄絕我，全然相信我仍是愛你。因此這扇隨時可以讓你來到我這裏的門，是永遠打開的；我要叫撒但在你面前跌倒。

你現在忍耐地持守我的道，就不用受將來世界的試練，再不多時，我就回來，你只管守住每一樣我已給你的，我若沒有給你，你就不要強求，免得有人趁機把你的冠冕也奪去。

我已揀選你作個守住神殿中的柱子，屹立不倒，普天下的人事物，都屬於神，你要為往教會之路把關，不被仇敵破壞。

     神國擁有無限遠景，深願我們「喜悅」都是那個不能震動的「非拉鐵非」人。

下週談談：回復熱誠的老底嘉人

As Favor 611 steps into its eighth year, I once again think about the church in Philadelphia described in Revelation—the church that received no rebuke from the Lord. Reading John's words, I am deeply moved to see how firm and close our relationship with Jesus really is.  

      “The One who holds the key of David…”—the Lord who holds the ultimate key to heaven and all of history—stands beside you and says:  

“I know your strength is small. I have seen you obey Me on the journey, though you have also stumbled many times. When Satan tries to whisper, ‘See how weak you are! How could God still love you?’—I feel your pain. Yet you have not turned away from Me; you still believe that I love you. Therefore, the door that leads you into My presence will always remain open. I will cause Satan to fall before you.”  

     You are faithfully holding on to My word. Because of this endurance, you will not face the trials that will come upon the world. I am coming soon. Hold tightly to all that I have already given you, and do not strive for what I have not granted, so that no one can take away your crown.  

     I have chosen you to be a pillar in the temple of God—firm and unmoved. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to God. Stand guard over the way of the church so that the enemy cannot destroy it.  

     The Kingdom of God has an infinite horizon. May our Favor 611 become like the faithful people of Philadelphia—unshakable and steadfast in the Lord.  

Next week: Let’s talk about the Laodiceans who restore their passion.

記在七週年堂慶的前夕⋯ ⋯

若說從六週年堂慶到今天七週年堂慶，神在「喜悅」作了什麼？就先從預言開始吧：

     在2025 三月份，鳯兒牧師預言：神看顧「喜悅」，從爭戰中得勝往前，C-mo 要成為新婦戰士，堅守教會，建造團隊，當喜樂師母，Pastor Joe當文士話語教導，性格慷慨財務蒙福，興起年青人，有多堂崇拜，神以笑臉看「喜悅」，弟兄姊妹生命大翻轉，恩膏湧流，禱告有力。

     到2025 八月份，Debby 牧師預言：看到三桶膏油傾倒流進「喜悅」，能醫治、使人有喜樂，生命再不一樣；恩膏家庭復活，兩代破裂関係得修服，Pastor Joe 和 Stella C-Mo手拿權仗擊退仇敵，建立很多年輕人。

那麼，神是怎樣帶領着「喜悅」呢？

透過祂自己的話語，過去12個月，晨禱已閱讀了新舊約中十卷書卷：詩篇、歌羅西書、箴言、以斯拉記、哥林多前、後書、歷代志下、馬可福音、以斯帖記、啟示錄。我們一章一章的閱讀，聖靈天天賜下新鮮嗎哪，每早晨大家可先得豐富靈糧，領受神當天的啟示。

崇拜主日信息方包括：1，蒙神喜悅系列，2屬靈兵器系列，3,職場但以理書系列，4服侍長大成熟系列，5反敗為勝以斯帖系列。涵蓋愛人、愛神、愛教會，職場、家庭、夫妻兩代関係。

週六黃昏開始了ANEW 中英雙語崇拜，與青少年同步進行；沒有年齡限制的週五早上榮耀崇；兒童教會基督小兵主日的更新流程，連同哈哈小樹苗提供八個月到3歲幼兒也可來到教會親子活動。

其間我們有 21/7-29/8/2025的40日禁食禱告操練；26-28/10/2025首次三代恩愛夫妻營；6-7/3/2026首屆生命釋放醫治營。

回顧這些事情，兩段預言在今天確實一一應驗，七週年看到神多麽豐盛的供應。

     弟兄姊妹，你有想過七年後的你會是怎樣呢？我真的不曾想到七年前和七年後的我，與Stella C-Mo 有能力跟隨神，與喜悅弟兄姊妹一步一步的往前走，神的作為真是又深又廣。

今天我們就開始為主展開夢想之旅，踏進第八個年頭，我們⋯⋯ 一起參與，一起投入，一起扶持，在「奇妙」的遮蓋下，勇敢面對，得著神為「喜悅」預備的獎賞。

On the Eve of Our 7th Anniversary Celebration⋯⋯

From our 6th to our 7th anniversary — what has God done in Favor 611 ? Let’s begin with the prophecies.  

In March 2025, Pastor Fiona prophesied that God is watching over “Favor 611 ” We will rise from battles into victory!  Stella C-Mo will be a bride-warrior, standing strong to build the church and the team. Pastor Joe will be a teacher of the Word, generous and financially blessed. Young people will be raised up, new worship services will begin, and God will smile on “Favor 611 .” Lives will be transformed, anointing will overflow, and prayers will grow powerful !  

In August 2025, Pastor Debby shared a prophecy of three jars of oil pouring into Favor 611 — bringing healing, joy, and renewed life! Families will be restored, broken relationships between generations will be mended. Pastor Joe and Stella C-Mo will hold God’s staff to defeat the enemy and raise up many young leaders.  

How has God led Favor 611 this past year ?

Through His Word!  

Over the past 12 months, our morning devotions has read ten books of the Bible — Psalms, Colossians, Proverbs, Ezra, 1 & 2 Corinthians, 2 Chronicles, Mark, Esther, and Revelation.  

We read chapter by chapter, and the Holy Spirit gives us fresh manna every morning — rich spiritual food and new revelations from God each day!  

Our Sunday sermon series have covered:  

1. Pleasing God  

2. Spiritual Weapons  

3. Daniel in the Workplace  

4. Serving and Maturing  

5. From Defeat to Victory – Esther  

These messages have touched on loving God, loving people, loving the church, and growing in faith, work, and family relationships.  

On Saturdays, we began the ANEW bilingual (English–Chinese) service alongside our youth service. Friday mornings now have the Glory Service for all ages. Our children’s ministry, Little Soldiers for Christ, has a new flow, and Haha Seedlings welcomes babies and toddlers (8 months to 3 years) with fun parent–child activities.  

During this time, we also:  

- Held a 40-day fast and prayer (21 July–29 August 2025)  

- Hosted our first Three-Generation Couples Camp (26–28 October 2025)  

- Launched our first Healing and Deleverance

Camp (6–7 March 2026)  

Looking back, every prophecy has come true — we can see God’s rich provision at this 7th anniversary!  

Dear brothers and sisters, have you imagined what you will be like seven years from now?  

I surely never imagined that seven years ago, God would give Stella and me such strength to follow Him — walking step by step with everyone in Favor 611. His works are truly deep and wide!  

Today, as we step into our 8th year, let’s begin another journey of dreams for the Lord.  

Let’s walk together, serve together, hold each other up — and under our mother church Wonderful 611 covering, bravely move forward to receive all that He has prepared for Favor 611 !

當我繼續前往撒狄城，沿途有陡峭，崎嶇的山路，我原知她是一座古城，有著過去的輝煌，但自持有天險之助，疏於防備，被波斯王古列其間攻入淪陷。我想這也對應現在撒狄人的寫照。我發覺沿途行人稀少，好不容易見到一小群人，彷彿這地方是没有人會來探訪的，終於看到一位像蒼老的長者，他看到我既驚訝錯愕， 問我到來是為什麼？我溫柔微笑，我就是要來造訪撒狄，他答道：找我！他這樣回覆，我也彷彿回到昔日初見的場景，這少年人專心聽著聽著，對一些如何當作的事情，就發問，明白了就滿心歡喜，該遵守的、該悔改的，都立意而行。

     但這次重聚，他默言不語，外表蒼老，我心中也明白，我告訴他，這回探望的目的，就是重新給你動力，其實，當初你能了解的有限，能作的也有限，所以，當日子一天一天的過去，若好像什麼都不用改，就只停留在昨天，面對你自己的成長，環境的改變，人與人之間有著更復雜的互動，若以為這個我明白，那個我都懂，其實這都是生命初階，不足以應付。

     你昔日的靈是幼嫩的，你要回復天天來親近我，你的名字不正就是「恢復活力」嗎？

不要只停留在起點，被塵埃封住，死氣沈沈，在我這裏，有活潑的道，你年紀漸長，面對不同的生命問題，仍有很多新的意念需要更新，我知你擔心世俗的價值觀會影響撒狄城，但只有外表的剛強，形式化，雖然你仍能勉強維持信仰該有的生活模式，但你也會乾固，靈性便怠惰，但只要記着，世界雖不斷改變，但我會給你智慧，就像你剛剛認識我，我給你的一樣，你保持渴慕的態度就對，其實要看透萬事，必要心意更新，不要像老油條，變得遲鈍。單以形式守住真道，是不足夠的。

     當年與你一起尋道的，他們也常求問我，我知道他們是站立得穩的，所以，不要故步自封，當你感受不到你內在的屬靈能力時，就知道是時候要停下來，回到我身邊，要更深認識我，我父，和賜給每一位天國公民的聖靈。羅馬的律法尚且對嚴重犯罪的人以取消公民資格，可況天國公民要求更高，但誠意認錯，回轉悔改卻是保留天國公民在生命冊的應許。

祝福「喜悅」的弟兄姊妹常常心意更新，活潑喜樂事奉，與主同行。

As I continued toward Sardis, the road was steep and rough through the mountains. I knew it was an ancient city with a glorious past. Yet because it trusted in its natural defenses, it became careless, and the Persian king Cyrus was able to enter and conquer it. I felt this also reflects the condition of the people of Sardis today.

Along the road I saw very few travelers. After a long while, I finally saw a small group of people, as if this were a place no one would visit. At last I saw someone who looked like an elderly man. He was surprised to see me and asked why I had come. I smiled gently and said I had come to visit Sardis.

He replied, “Looking for me?”

His words brought me back to our first meeting long ago. As a young man, he listened attentively. Whenever he did not understand what he should do, he would ask questions. When he understood, he was filled with joy, and he was willing to obey and repent where needed.

But this time, when we met again, he was silent. His appearance was aged, and I understood in my heart. I told him that the purpose of this visit was to give him new strength again.

At the beginning, what you understood was limited, and what you could do was also limited. But as the days passed, if nothing seemed to need changing, you remained where you were yesterday. Yet as you grow and as circumstances change, relationships become more complex. If you think, “I already understand this and that,” you must realize that such understanding belongs only to the early stage of life and is not enough to face everything.

Your spirit was once young and tender. You must return to draw near to me every day. Is not your name “Revived Strength”?

Do not stay only at the starting point, covered with dust and lifeless. With me there is living truth. As you grow older and face different issues in life, many new thoughts still need to be renewed.

I know you worry that worldly values will influence the city of Sardis. But if there is only outward strength and empty formality, even if you manage to maintain the appearance of a faithful life, you will become dry and your spirit will grow lazy. Remember this: although the world keeps changing, I will give you wisdom—just as when you first knew me. Keep a longing heart. To truly see through all things, your mind must be renewed. Do not become dull and hardened. Holding the truth only in form is not enough.

Those who once sought the truth together with you often asked me questions. I know they stand firm. So do not limit yourself. When you no longer feel the spiritual strength within you, it is time to stop and return to me—to know me more deeply, my Father, and the Holy Spirit given to every citizen of the Kingdom.

Even Roman law removes the citizenship of those who commit serious crimes. How much higher are the standards for the citizens of Heaven. Yet sincere confession and true repentance carry the promise that a citizen of Heaven will remain written in the Book of Life.

May the brothers and sisters of “Favor” always renew their minds, serve with living joy, and walk together with the Lord.

「推 雅 推 喇」不要放縱，要明辨真愛與溺愛！

     寄語「別迦摩」要勇敢堅持找到自己在主裏的使命後，我便往東到下一站「推 雅 推 喇」，這地方名字源自希臘語，意為女兒的意思。

     從遠處看到的推雅推喇，金碧輝煌，呈現出城市繁榮的一面，因著，銅鑄造技術純熟，宏偉中有細緻，表現出他們的優秀工藝能力，各處裝飾華麗，器皿都是經過銅匠刻意打做，都是價值高的產物，心中讚嘆！神所賞賜給當地人的智慧，何其美栽！神確實很愛這城市的人，當踏進城市慢步，更感受到那獨特的紫色布藝，貴族色彩，連同皮革、陶器，都是這些行業卓越領導者的建樹，彷彿告訴我們，在這裏孕育出來的，是有氣質、有品味、富智慧，非一般之輩。

     「推雅推喇」啊！可見你從小就非常可愛，你勤努、認真，又有品味，實在令人疼愛你，在職場中要保護你，在休閑處也要察看你。但在過分溺愛中，你開始任性，刁蠻起來，不自覺地被一些別有用心的人，想操縱你，起初他們奉承你，叫你不自覺離開正道，讓你天天與他們一伙享樂，他們是放縱肉體，邀請你參與淫亂色情活動，他們是騙子，與他們聯合，神最終必追討他們的罪。

     你要快快回到「其餘的」人中，就是從起初，就潔身自愛，即被嘲笑、孤立，也守住純正信仰，不跟世俗妥協，拒絕那些不是所需要的利誘，神要更新你們的眼光，賜給你們新的創意能力，足以勝過那些自私集團，還記得那位保羅在腓立比遇上的婦人呂底亞(推雅推喇人)嗎？她的慷慨渴慕忠誠才是你們的真榜樣。

弟兄姊妹，盼望我們在推雅推喇教會的啟示中，不要只貪圖享受愛中成長，更要提防自己丢進溺愛陷阱而不自知。

下週分享作個冊上留名的「撒狄」人

Thyatira — Do Not Indulge Yourself, But Learn to Discern Between True Love and Spoiled Affection!

After encouraging the believers in Pergamum to stand firm and find their mission in the Lord, my journey now takes me east to Thyatira.  

The name Thyatira comes from Greek, meaning “daughter.”  

From afar, the city glitters like gold—rich and lively, a picture of prosperity. The people here are skilled in bronze work: strong yet delicate, simple yet beautiful. Their ornate streets and finely crafted vessels show the remarkable talent that God has placed among them. Truly, God has poured His wisdom and grace upon this city’s people.  

Walking through its lanes, the royal colour of purple stands out—a mark of dignity and elegance. The craftsmanship in leather and pottery is also outstanding. It feels as though this city gives birth to people of character, style, and intelligence—unique and full of grace.  

O Thyatira! You are lovely from your youth—diligent, thoughtful, and refined. You draw affection easily; people wish to protect you, whether at work or at rest. Yet too much indulgence has made you restless and willful. Without noticing, you have been drawn in by those with impure motives. They flatter you, pulling you quietly away from truth. They invite you to live for pleasure, to chase desires that dishonour your soul. These deceivers will one day face God’s judgment for their sins.  

Dear one, return to be among “the rest”—those who have remained pure and faithful from the beginning. Though mocked or left alone, they have held fast to genuine faith, refusing to compromise with the world or be tempted by false gain. God will renew their vision and fill them with creative strength to rise above selfish powers.  

Remember Lydia, the woman from Thyatira whom Paul met in Philippi She is your true example—faithful, wise, and generous, a woman who opened her heart and her home to the Lord.  

Brothers and sisters, may the message to the church in Thyatira teach us this: in love, do not only seek comfort and warmth, but also learn to guard against the trap of indulgence and self-pleasing.  

Next week, we will reflect on the people of Sardis—those whose names are written in the Book of Life.  ，

22/02/2026堂主任的話

每週所寫堂主任的話，其中最先閱讀的，有我的女兒舒齡(Donna)，當我問到她對上週內容回應時，她說這次比較難掌握，七教會中的士每拿，可對應哪一段跟隨主的寫照呢？

     如果說以弗所是年青的小伙子，士每拿應該是歷盡滄桑的穩重信徒，不容易失腳，大家聽罷士每拿的獨白，在患難中，要拒絕誘惑，選擇簡單生活，不好高騖遠，腳踏實地，這樣，主必看顧我們，活得喜樂。但是，士每拿的處境只是在跟隨主中的一段時刻，來！我們繼續往下一站：危機重重的別迦摩(Pergamon)。

     從士每拿繼續往北，不到二小時的車程便到達別迦摩城，在古代，這裏已是集政治、文化、醫學與宗教中心，也是羅馬帝國亞西亞行省省府，這裏有著冒險家樂園的吸引力。

     面對當代的該撒(皇帝)崇拜，異教神祇臨立，按猶太傳統，安提帕是使徒約翰的門徒，並由約翰親自按立為別迦摩教會的第一任主教，他因堅持傳講基督，被異教祭司指控，為主殉道。是什麼讓別迦摩信徒，面對這些衝擊，仍能堅守主道，繼續往前呢？

     不要怕，世界好像黑暗在掌權，會對你說：你什麼都不能！撒但在通俗文化掩飾下，處處與神為敵，引誘人把純正信仰參雜了，沾染在祭鬼邪術行列，跌進色情陷阱，放縱肉體。然而要從這麽多的絆腳石中，不被絆倒，那麼你對神的話，需要有特別執著的偏愛，深深相信神口中所出的話，如一柄兩刅利劍，能剖開一切虛假偽裝，堅守以神的話為絕對標準，相信神的審判是公義的，縱使我們周圍的世界像危機重重的別迦摩，弟兄姊妹今天神在喜悅611，也要孕育出你們有著冒險家的精神，敢於為著真道，尋找個人在神心中的特別計劃，過著神為你量身定造、身份合適，looks 又Fit 又Good的生活。為著自己信念，必尋見神應許那隱藏的嗎哪，天天得着供應，和那塊專屬你的白石！ 謹記，基督用水藉着道，把教會洗淨，成為聖潔的了。

下週談談「推 雅 推 喇」Thyatira ～真愛與溺愛

Every week, the first person who reads my “Pastor’s Word” is my daughter, Donna. When I asked her what she thought about last week’s message, she said honestly, “This one felt harder to grasp. Which part of Smyrna’s story really shows what it means to follow Jesus?”  

 If Ephesus represents a young believer—earnest and full of energy—then Smyrna speaks of a faithful disciple who has walked through trials and learned to stand firm. When we listen to Smyrna’s story, we are reminded that in the midst of suffering, we can still choose a simple life, say no to temptation, stay humble, and keep our feet steady on the path of faith. When we live this way, the Lord cares for us, and we find a joy that the world cannot take away. Smyrna’s journey is just as one season along the road of following Christ. Let’s now continue to the next stop—Pergamon, a place filled with tests and challenges.  

Traveling north from Smyrna, less than two hours away, lies the ancient city of Pergamon—a center of politics, learning, healing, and religion, once the capital of the Roman province of Asia. In its glory days, it was a city of great allure, dazzling and dangerous at the same time.  

There, emperor worship ruled, and idols filled the temples. Tradition tells us that Antipas, a disciple of the Apostle John and the first bishop of Pergamon’s church, was martyred for preaching Christ faithfully. His courage raises a question for us: what gives believers the strength to stay true to the Lord amid such powerful opposition?  

The Lord’s message is clear: “Do not be afraid.” Even when darkness seems to rule the world and voices around us say, “You have no power,” God’s Word reminds us that we are never without hope. Satan hides behind the glamour of culture, twisting truth and tempting hearts to compromise—blending the holy with the unclean, drawing people toward idolatry, impurity, and self-indulgence. To walk faithfully through such a world, we must cling to God’s Word with unwavering love. His Word is a double-edged sword—it cuts through every disguise and half-truth. Let Scripture remain our final standard, for God’s judgment is always righteous and sure.  

So even when the world feels as perilous as Pergamon, let us remember that God is still shaping brave hearts in His people. He delights in children who carry a spirit of holy adventure—ready to seek His perfect plan, live out the identity He designed uniquely for them, and walk in the beauty of a life that truly “fits” His purpose. As we hold fast to our faith, He promises to give us the hidden manna of His daily provision and the white stone of His intimate approval.  

And never forget: Christ is sanctifying His church, cleansing her by the washing of water through His Word, making her beautiful and holy before Him.  

Next week, we will reflect on Thyatira — True Love and Over-Protective Love.

15/02/2026堂主任的話

 ……當心中仍默默為以弗所的小伙子禱告，祝福他快快拾回起初的愛心時，聖靈就使我穿越時空，來到天上榮耀大寶座前，有兩大羣人，一邊是以色列各支派，另一邊是數之不盡，身穿白衣的，忽然有一張熟悉的面孔，啊，士每拿！不錯、就是耶穌叫約翰寫信給七使者之中的士每拿。

    他成長的那片地土，是座古老城市，一度被毀於公元前600年，三百年後，希臘人起來重建，因擁有優良港灣、是交通樞紐，商業繁榮，被稱為亞西亞的冠冕。然而，在公元 178 年受地震所創，卻在羅馬統治下再被重修，保存至今，甚至「士每拿古集市」作為「伊茲密爾歷史港口城市」的一部分，被正式列入 UNESCO 世界遺產預備名單。歷史痕蹟像述說生活在其上的居民，心中有死而復活的毅力。

    士每拿啊，你是如何得勝的呢！他就告訴我，當年他所處的年代是面對宗教逼迫，生活貧困，被搶奪；聚會時，甚至被自稱是同胞(其實是撒但一會的)所出賣，隨時被捉下在監裏。那時的我，不怕難、不怕窮，反而靈內富足，簡單生活，使我活得輕鬆；收到老約翰的勉勵書信，我就立志，至死忠心，也不怕別人毀謗，堅守主道，相信主必為我平反，最終，嚴峻的試煉過去，患難止住，壓力測試達標，我也因而獲得人生最高榮譽冠冕，免去靈魂在火湖中與神永遠分離的審判，得以穿白衣站在這裏。我靠着羔羊的血，就是赦罪的恩典，把衣裳(沾污了罪的身體)洗白淨了，往後的日子，在神帳幕遮盍下，不再飢渴；日頭和炎熱傷不了我，神的話如生命水的泉源，滋潤生命，是神親手擦去過去一切的眼淚 ，現在，放在我面前的一條康壯的屬靈大道直通永恆。

下回探索危機處處的別迦摩

While I was quietly praying for the young believer in Ephesus, asking God to help him return to his first love, the Holy Spirit seemed to carry me to the glorious throne in heaven. There I saw two great groups of people: on one side were the tribes of Israel, and on the other side was a countless crowd dressed in white. Suddenly, I noticed a familiar face. It was Smyrna, the one whom Jesus told John to write to among the seven churches in Revelation.

Smyrna grew up in a very old city. The city was destroyed around 600 BC, but about 300 years later the Greeks rebuilt it. Because it had a good harbour and was a traffic hub, trade became very strong, and people called it “the crown of Asia.” Later, an earthquake in AD 178 damaged the city badly, but it was rebuilt again under Roman rule. Today, the Ancient Agora of Smyrna, as part of the “Historical Port City of Izmir,” is on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative List. Its long history seems to show that the people who lived there had a strong spirit that could “die and rise again.”

I asked him, “Smyrna, how did you overcome?” He answered that in his time the church faced strong religious persecution. Life was very poor, their belongings were taken away, and their meetings were betrayed by people who called themselves fellow Jews but were actually from the “synagogue of Satan.” Believers could be arrested and put into prison at any time.

He said, “Even then, I was not afraid of hardship or poverty. My spirit was rich. I lived a simple life, and that made my heart light and free. When I received the encouraging letter from old John, I decided to stay faithful to the Lord until death. I would not fear people’s lies or insults. I held firmly to His word and believed that the Lord would clear my name.”

“In the end, the heavy trials passed, the suffering stopped, and I passed the test. I received the crown of life, the highest honour. I escaped the second death and the judgment of being separated from God forever. Now I can stand here in white, because the blood of the Lamb has washed away my sins and made my robe clean. From now on, under God’s shelter, I will never hunger or thirst again. The sun and the burning heat cannot harm me. God’s word is like a spring of living water that refreshes my life. God Himself has wiped away all my tears. In front of me is a strong and bright spiritual road that leads straight into eternity.”

Next time, we will visit Pergamum, a place full of danger and spiritual testing.

開啟深廣2026的信仰與生活首篇——以弗所教會的聯想

     今次晨禱讀經，是閱讀啟示錄，其中有關於向七教會的啟示，聖靈在我心中有很大的感動、提醒，就像揭示一段一段跟隨主的旅程。

     起點是那位有才幹，得人喜愛，他充滿活力，是一個有理想、有熱情的小伙子，他對周邊發生的事情，都有興趣；他勤奮、盡責，又有耐心，正直不暴躁 ，但對那些虛偽作假的人，勇敢撕破他們的偽裝行為；擁抱着心中異象，就向着目標，持續不𢶷，彷彿有用不完的精力，身邊的家人，都引以為榮，成為同齡人效法的對象。

     他努力地一步一步走著，時間從身邊慢慢過去，有時非快的流失，有時又好像凝固不動，他開始無法駕馭，心中開始感到壓力，無奈，當留意到那些靜靜消逝的日子時，他對生活開始冷淡下來，昔日服侍的熱情消失了！我問聖靈為什麼會這樣呢？原來，人在陶醉自己的成就，目光只看重事情的結果，只作世人眼中為義為正之事，不懂珍惜生活的過程，方向就開始偏移，隨著時間的過去，偏差就浮現，我們不要錯失生命中與人相處的良機，事工是替代不了真實愛的聯繫，世界給予的虛榮是表面和短暫，唯有從人與人的互動，就算是一起哭，所結出生命的果子，才是神為我們預備，使我們心滿足，靈快樂的得勝生命。

預告下站的目的地是士每拿

Opening Deep and Wide 2026 — Reflections from the Church in Ephesus

As we begin our new year’s theme, Deep and Wide 2026: Faith and Life, our morning devotion led us to read from the Book of Revelation — the letters to the seven churches. The Holy Spirit deeply moved my heart, revealing to me a journey of walking closely with the Lord, one step at a time.  

It begins with someone full of talent and joy — a young man brimming with dreams, energy, and passion. He’s charming, sincere, and ready to take on life. He cares about what’s happening around him and works hard with patience and integrity. He’s not quick-tempered but brave enough to confront hypocrisy. With a clear vision burning in his heart, he presses on toward his goal with unstoppable strength, making his family proud and inspiring those around him.  

But as time passed, something changed. The days began to slip by — sometimes too fast, sometimes painfully slow. He started feeling lost inside. The pressure grew, and without noticing, his heart cooled down. The passion he once had in serving the Lord faded away. I asked the Holy Spirit, “Why does this happen?” And the Spirit gently showed me this truth:  When people become focused only on their achievements or on doing what seems “right” in others’ eyes, they easily lose sight of the journey itself. Life turns into a list of results instead of a path of love. Slowly, the direction shifts — not all at once, but little by little. When that happens, we miss the priceless opportunity to truly connect with others. Ministry can never replace genuine love. The praise of the world is short-lived, but the fruit that grows out of heartfelt relationships — even through tears — is what God truly blesses us with. 

That kind of life fills our hearts with peace and joy.

在2025年終，「喜悅」已構建出一個涵蓋較全面的框架，從嬰孩吃奶的到銀髪一族，在喜悅611大家庭裏，都被看顧，牧養成長，甚至遠在紐西蘭的生命點，每主日他們聚在一起，透過晨禱、線上學房、摸索出獨特的成長路，兩位忠心的小組長按時分糧，神正引領着我們走每一步 。

深廣2026，既對前景充滿盼望，也提醒我們要在現有基礎上，穩固擴展好這根基。在約翰福音10:10節，盜 賊 來 ， 無 非 要 偷 竊 ， 殺 害 ， 毀 壞 ；我(耶穌) 來 了 ， 是 要 叫 羊 （ 或 作 ： 人 ） 得 生 命 ， 並 且 得 的 更 豐 盛 。 耶穌會陪伴着我們面對屬靈爭戰。

     聖靈正帶領着我們走進以斯帖記普珥節的流裏，一起重新審視，我是怎樣與人溝通的呢，彼此的関係是薄弱還是深厚，觸摸自己的內心世界，體會行在先関係後事工，所帶出爆炸性的果效，更深更廣就是在現有的根基下，挖掘出種類更多、質量更佳和更豐富的隱藏珍寶，祝福大家在神給予我們的服侍領域裏，與神的心意更吻合。已報名參加「醫治一」裝備課的，深刻認識影響著屬靈生命健康成長的特徵，除去那些深藏的雜質，得着神寶貴的應許，回復神創造中的美好。

By the end of 2025, Favor 611 has built a fairly complete framework. From babies who are just learning to feed, to our senior members with silver hair, everyone in the family of Favor is being cared for and pastored as they grow. Even our Life Point in New Zealand gathers every Sunday. Through morning devotion , online Bible classes, and by exploring a unique path of growth, two faithful small group leaders share God’s provision in season. God is truly guiding us step by step.

As we enter “Deep and Wide 2026,” we are full of hope for the future, and at the same time reminded to strengthen and expand what has already been built. John 10:10 tells us:

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Jesus walks with us as we face spiritual battles.

     The Holy Spirit is also leading us into the flow of the Book of Esther and Purim. Together, we reflect again: How do I communicate with others? Are our relationships shallow or deep? We are invited to touch our inner world and to experience the powerful impact of putting relationship first, before ministry.

To go deeper and wider means to dig within the foundation we already have, to discover more kinds of hidden treasures—better in quality and richer in abundance—so that we may bless others and align more closely with God’s heart in the areas of service He has entrusted to us.

For those who have signed up for the “Healing 1” training course, may you gain a deeper understanding of what affects the healthy growth of our spiritual life, remove the hidden impurities within, receive God’s precious promises, and be restored to the beauty of God’s original creation.

今天主崇是長大成熟系列最後一講。起初，我們的視角先由一個獨立的個體開始，感謝神，Janice 為這主題作破峰第一講，以前的她，常覺得牧養為什麼總要和組員吃飯，教導、解釋聖經和禱告便可以嗎！但如今我們的Janice 已經突破昔日的框框，可從”我“到“我們”，不是事工導向，而是以人為本，在開組時常常開放家庭與組員一起愛筵，若對應今天深廣2026的主題，就是一個可量度的轉變。

     之後，弟兄姊妹就在church camp一起共渡三日兩夜營會生活，更是透過模擬人生Sim life，讓大家對人生作多角度的體會，而我就在那次崇拜中，把大家從個人視角，擴展到一個家庭，我們從頭腦明白到行動實踐，最佳的操練地點，就是自己的家庭，透過天天一起生活，認識了解家中的不同身份，從互動摩擦中，提升改善，最終能彼此配合，使家庭溫度增加，成為一個神喜悅的家庭。

     往後的第三、第四講，Ceci 和亞Paul 就從教會生活探討，因著內心回應耶穌的愛，主動參與小組，也開始關心身邊的新朋友，參與教會不同的活動，在互動中漸漸成長，無私的擺上，發自內心的服事，經歷以主為中心的生命，在衆多不同服侍中，我們就更成熟。連同剛過去的第五講，611的十一個核心價值，就更俱體幫助大家，在動盪的時代裏，站立得穩，把錨牢牢的繫在屬靈的根基上，今天最後一講，挑戰大家，都要成為，得着一個主所應許的蒙福人生，並且能代代傳承。

回顧我們在主崇分享長大成熟系列的六講，橫跨2025 年十二月到2026一月，由我和五位同工分別負責，透過我們不同的生命經歷，展示每個人從不同的低位的改變。原來不知不覺神已帶領著大家一起走進深廣2026裏。大家就彼此扶持，在神的保守引領裏，勇敢向前。阿們

Today’s Sunday service is the last message in the Growing to Maturity series.

At the beginning, we started from the view of an individual. We thank God for Janice, who shared the first message and opened this theme. In the past, she often wondered why pastoral care always involved eating with group members. She thought teaching the Bible and praying should be enough. But today, Janice has broken through her old way of thinking. Her focus has moved from “I” to “We.” Her ministry is no longer task-focused but people-focused. When her group meets, she often opens her home and shares meals with members. If we connect this with the Deep and Wide 2026 theme, this is a real and measurable change.

After that, brothers and sisters spent three days and two nights together at the church camp. Through the “Sim Life” experience, everyone reflected on life from different angles. During that Sunday service, I led everyone to move from an individual view to a family view. We learned that it is not enough to understand with our minds; we must put it into action. The best place to practice is our own family. By living together every day, we learn the different roles in the family. Through interaction and even friction, we grow, improve, and learn to work together. In this way, the warmth of the family increases, and it becomes a family that pleases God.

In the third and fourth messages, Ceci and Paul shared from the perspective of church life. Because of their response to Jesus’ love, people began to join small groups actively, care for new friends, and take part in different church activities. Through interaction, they slowly grew. With selfless giving and sincere service, they experienced a Christ-centered life. Through serving in many different ways, we grow more mature. Together with the fifth message just shared, the eleven core values of 611 helped everyone in a very practical way. In a shaking world, we can stand firm and anchor our lives on a strong spiritual foundation. Today, in this final message, we are challenged to all receive the blessed life God has promised and to pass it on from generation to generation.

Looking back at the six messages in the Growing to Maturity series, shared from December 2025 to January 2026, they were delivered by me and five co-workers. Through our different life stories, we shared how each of us changed from different low points. Without us even noticing, God has been leading us together into Deep and Wide 2026. As we support one another, under God’s protection and guidance, we move forward bravely.

Amen.

我們這週晨禱閱讀以斯帖記，故事是拯救猶大人在被擄時期，在瑪代波斯王朝下，亞哈隨魯王的大臣哈曼屠殺猶大人的計劃裏，如何反敗為勝，整卷以斯帖記沒有隻字提及神的名，而結果哈曼卻被自己所定的日子，反被消滅，神是拯救猶大人的主，神是何其深廣。

上主日我以”深廣2026的底氣”為題 ，分享究竟詩篇第八篇所讚美天上的主，我們的神是如何又深又廣，透過認識那墮落的天使長Lucifer 路西法，明白神在創造救贖中我們這嬰兒吃奶的人生命，的目的，但如何才有這底氣能彰顯岀神的榮耀，來見證撒但的不是，我們其實不都是一樣有驕傲貪婪叛逆不信麽。

有弟兄姊妹會後問我，這一年該如何實踐「深廣」？  

要明白「深廣」原是形容可以被量度的實體——有深度，有廣度；而靈命的深廣，也能被看見。  

例如：  

- 你渴慕神話語的深度如何？是天天參加晨禱，還是偶爾一次？  

- 當別人頂撞你時，你的反應是立刻報復，還是像耶穌那樣順服天父、以愛為先？  

- 在夫妻親密關係中，你的信任是否會被未證實的謠言動搖？  

- 在時間運用上，你是否常以滿足自己為優先？  

這些都是真實可見、可量度的「深廣」。

就像嬰孩每天需要奶才能健康成長，我們屬靈生命也一樣，需要神話語作為「屬靈的糧」。我們承認自己的心思意念容易偏差、力量微小，因此常要依靠聖靈的提醒與引導。但當我們漸漸長大，是否會開始對人指指點點，自以為是，看輕神的話，不再禱告求問？若這樣，我們就容易落入驕傲與謊言的陷阱，站錯了屬靈的陣線。

然而，神的愛是何等廣闊！耶穌為世人的罪付上贖價，使我們成為新造的人，得以在主裡活出敬虔生命，建立以神的愛為中心的家庭。611所提的「深廣」，正是呼籲我們：不是靠自己，而是凡事依靠與連於神。不要批評論斷，不要活在分辨善惡樹下，而是彼此建立，持續渴慕、相信、效法、全心依靠。如此走過每一天，我們必會經歷，神那深廣的智慧與能力，在我們生命中奇妙彰顯。

This week in morning devotion , we read the Book of Esther. It is a story of how the Jewish people were saved during the time of exile under the Medo-Persian Empire. Haman, an official of King Ahasuerus, planned to destroy the Jews, but in the end, the situation was completely reversed. Throughout the whole book of Esther, God’s name is not mentioned even once, yet Haman was destroyed on the very day he had chosen for others. This reminds us that God is the One who saves His people, and His work is truly deep and wide.

Last Sunday, I shared a message titled “The Confidence of Deep and wide in 2026.” From Psalm 8, we learned how great and glorious our God is—the Lord of heaven. By understanding the fall of the archangel Lucifer, we can better see God’s purpose for our lives, we who are like babies still needing milk, in His work of creation and salvation. But how can we have this foundation to show God’s glory and testify against Satan’s lies? Are we not all the same, often filled with pride, greed, rebellion, and unbelief?

After the service, some brothers and sisters asked me how we can practise “depth and breadth” in this year.

First, we must understand that “depth and breadth” describe something that can be measured—it has depth and it has width. In the same way, spiritual depth and breadth can also be seen.

For example:

• How strong is your desire for God’s Word? Do you join morning prayer every day, or only once in a while?

• When others offend you, do you react with revenge right away, or do you respond like Jesus, obeying the Father and choosing love first?

• In marriage, is your trust easily shaken by unproven rumours?

• In how you use your time, do you often put your own satisfaction first?

All these are real, visible, and measurable signs of “depth and breadth.”

Just as a baby needs milk every day to grow healthy, our spiritual life also needs God’s Word as spiritual food. We admit that our thoughts can easily go off track and that our strength is small, so we must often rely on the Holy Spirit’s reminder and guidance. But as we grow, do we begin to point fingers at others, think too highly of ourselves, look down on God’s Word, and stop praying and seeking Him? If so, we can easily fall into the traps of pride and lies, and stand on the wrong spiritual side.

Yet how wide is God’s love! Jesus paid the price for the sins of the world, making us new creations, so that we can live godly lives in Him and build families centred on God’s love. What 611 speaks of as “depth and breadth” is a call to us: not to rely on ourselves, but to depend on God in everything and stay connected to Him. Do not judge or criticise. Do not live under the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Instead, build one another up, continue to desire, believe, follow, and fully rely on God. As we walk this way each day, we will surely experience God’s deep and wide wisdom and power being wonderfully revealed in our lives.

在這一週，跨越2025到2026的時間，神給了我們在馬可福音中兩處經文。首先 是「你 們 要 謹 慎 ，看 哪 ， 凡 事 我 都 預 先 告 訴 你 們 了。13:23」；其次是「耶 穌 對 他 們 (門徒）說 ： 你 們 都 要 跌 倒 了 ， 因 為 經 上 記 著 說 ： 我 要 擊 打 牧 人 ， 羊 就 分 散 了 。但 我 復 活 以 後 ， 要 在 你 們 以 先 往 加 利 利 去14:27-28」

     新的一年，在我們不曉得會發生什麼事前，彷彿神預先告訴我們，要𧫴慎、要提防跌倒；但同時耶穌會如昔日對門徒說，祂復活後會在「加利利」等候衆門徒。

     今天對我們而言，我們也要領受屬靈的加利利，這不只是一個地理位置，更是每一個門徒生命轉變的起點，是與耶穌建立深厚關係、學習天國真理、見證神國度降臨的關鍵地域，並為後續的宣教使命打下了堅實的基礎。

在1/1/2026的月朔禱告會，我竟抽到神給予心意咭：詩篇23:2-3。我就知道神非常愛大家，每位弟兄姊妹、委身義工們、同工們，在新的一年裏就一同領受：

「祂 使 我 躺 臥 在 青 草 地 上 ， 領 我 在 可 安 歇 的 水 邊 。 3  祂 使 我 的 靈 魂 甦 醒 ， 為 自 己 的 名 引 導 我 走 義 路 。」的安慰帶領。

當收到母堂奇妙611的新年祝福：「2026神為你在生命樹下開每一趟門的鑰匙。」

我更肯定在喜悅611這裏將會是大家的「屬靈加利利」。

This week, as we move from 2025 into 2026, God has given us two passages from the Gospel of Mark. The first is: “Be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.” (Mark 13:23) The second is: “Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You will all fall away, for it is written: “I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” But after I rise, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.’” (Mark 14:27-28)

In this new year, even before we know what will happen, it is as if God is telling us in advance: be watchful, be careful not to fall. But at the same time, just as Jesus told his disciples, after He rises, He will be waiting for all His followers in “Galilee.”

For us today, we too are called to receive a spiritual Galilee. This is not just a physical place, but the starting point of transformation in every believer’s life. It is where we build a deep relationship with Jesus, learn the truths of His kingdom, witness God’s kingdom coming, and lay a firm foundation for the mission that follows.

During the New Moon Prayer Meeting on January 1, 2026, I drew a card with God’s message for us: Psalm 23:2-3. I knew then how much God loves each one of you—every brother and sister, every committed volunteer and co-worker. In this new year, let’s receive this together:

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.”

And when we received the New Year blessing from our mother church, Wonderful 611:

“In 2026, God will give you the key to every door under the tree of life.”

I am even more certain that Favor 611 will be your “spiritual Galilee.”
