我們從加拿大卡加利向你們問安！這裡雖然寒冷，但想到聖誕節即將到來，我們心中充滿了歡欣。大約兩千年前，我們的救主耶穌基督降生，為世人帶來和平與希望。環顧世界，戰爭、地震、洪水和火災肆虐，人們感到絕望和痛苦。然而，當我們信靠耶穌時，即使身處苦難之中，也能得到平安喜樂。「那天使對他們說：不要懼怕！我報給你們大喜的信息，是關乎萬民的；因今天在大衛的城裡，為你們生了救主，就是主基督。」（路二10-11）

        在這聖誕佳節的忙碌之中，讓我們停下腳步，默想天父的愛——祂為了世人犧牲了自己的兒子，使凡信耶穌的人都能得永生！對大多數人來說，今生短暫而痛苦，但我們在基督裡擁有盼望與平安。

        衷心感謝你們在禱告中為我們祈求，使我們的事工得著能力，身體健康。也感謝你們在多方面的支持，請繼續為我們禱告。

感恩事項：

• 12月7日活石堂組織外展團隊在茶膠省舉行了聖誕節慶祝活動，共有350人參加，其中約250人接受耶穌為救主。
• 感謝天父在過去一年裡賜給我們的恩典、指引和健康的身體。

禱告事項：

• 為柬埔寨泰國衝突禱告。願神的公義和憐憫彰顯，並安慰受戰事影響的人。
• 許多基督徒向八個省份約四十萬撤離的民眾表達關懷和愛心，向他們寄送生活必需品。請為所有受影響的人禱告，願他們敞開心來接受耶穌的救恩。
• 為活石堂12月28日的聖誕節慶祝活動禱告，求聖靈作工，使用講員能分享聖誕的意義。

        祝聖誕快樂，新年蒙恩！

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Greetings from Calgary, Canada! It’s very cold here but our hearts are filled with joy and warmth with the thought that Christmas is around the corner. About 2000 years ago Jesus Christ, our Savior was born to bring peace and hope to this world. When we look around the world there are wars, earthquakes, flooding and fires people are hopeless and miserable. However, when we trust in Jesus, we can experience joy amid all these. “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” (Luke 2:10, 11)

        Let us pause among the busyness during this Christmas season to reflect on the love of God who sacrificed His own Son to the world so that whoever believes in Jesus will have eternal life! For most people this life is short and painful, but we have hope and peace in Christ.

        We are grateful to have you who uphold us in prayer to enhance the ministry of God, and to support in different ways. Please continue to praise God and pray for us.

Praise items:

• On December 7th the Livingston Stone Church team held a Christmas celebration in Takeo province. 350 people came and about 250 of them received Jesus as their Savior.
• For God’s grace and guidance, and good health we have had in the last year.

Pray Requests:

• For stopping the Cambodia-Thailand Conflict. May God’s justice and mercy be manifested and the comfort for the people involved.
• Many Christians are showing their care and love to 431 thousand displaced people in 8 provinces by sending daily necessities and meeting them to grieve with them. Pray for peace and for those who are affected and will open their hearts to the saving grace of Jesus.
• For the Christmas celebration of Living Stone Church on December 28th. Pray for the preparation and the working of the Holy Spirit on that day.

In Him,
