我們從加拿大卡加利向你們問安。回顧過去兩個月，滿心感謝天父的恩典，讓我們有機會在七月底與12人一起參加禱告退修會。退修會是在距離卡加利市約一小時車程的一個退修營地舉行。在三天兩夜的時間裡，我們享受天父的創造和祂的同在。參加者都分享了自己的故事和經歷，有歡笑，也有淚水。我們有很多時間禱告，並與天父獨處。天父再次提醒月甜要有同理心，要更仁慈，更體貼地對待他人的需要，而不是只看他們的行為來判斷他們。約瑟在這營會中解開了一些心結，並得著心靈醫治。感謝天父的憐憫和慈愛。

        感謝你們的禱告和支持，請繼續為我們守望。以下是我們的讚美和禱告事項：

感恩事項：

• 活石教會會友靈命有長進，他們能關心教會的需要；有位女士為教會買了一部新的電子琴。
• 探討在離開金邊大約45分鐘車程的市郊外展工作機會。
• 我們雖然已踏入退休生活，每星期仍能用網絡和其他的媒體，與活石堂保持聯繫。

求恩事項：

• 為茶膠省的外展工作禱告，同工及高姑娘會在九月前往作跟進工作。現在每次聚會是暫用渥當姨媽的屋子作為場所地，她未信主，請為她能信主禱告。
• 為活石堂青少年人的門訓禱告，祈求天父讓年青人和少年人能往下扎根，向上結果。
• 我們的差會——中華福音使命團——將於十月慶祝成立50週年。我們會參加在泰國舉行的宣教士退修會和感恩崇拜。藉此機會，在退修會開始前的十天探訪金邊活石堂。祈求天父祝福50週年慶典，並讓我們與活石堂的會友們互相分享祂的恩典，一起讚美天父的作為。

        非常多謝你們的禱告。請分享你們的近況，我們可以彼此代禱

約瑟，月甜上

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Greetings from Calgary, Canada. Hope this letter finds you well. Looking back on the last two months we are thankful by God’s grace for us. He provided us a chance to attend a prayer retreat with a group of 12 at the end of July. It was held at a retreat centre about an hour drive from our city. We enjoyed God’s creation and His presence in our 2 days and 3 nights time. Each of us shared our stories and experiences together with laughter and tears. We spent lots of time in prayer and getting alone with our Heavenly Father. God reminds me, Liza, again to be more gracious and sensitive to other’s needs, not to judge them by their actions. Praise God for His mercy and love.

        Thank you so much for your prayers and support for us. Continue to uplift us in prayers. The following are our praise and prayer requests:

Praise for:

• The members of Living Stone Church are growing stronger in faith and willing to support the church’s needs; one lady bought a new keyboard for the church.
•  We are doing well, keeping healthy, able to do exercise every day.
•  Able to join a prayer retreat that we can rest in Him.

Pray for:

•  Outreach work to the province of Takeo – the staff is planning to go there on September.
• The discipleship program for the teenagers. Children in our church have grown up and there are more teenagers coming in recent months.
• Our mission, CEM, will celebrate its 50th anniversary in October. We will be joining the missionary retreat in Thailand. So, we take this opportunity to visit our church family for 10 days before the retreat. Pray for God’s blessings on the anniversary celebration, and that we have a great time sharing God’s goodness with the members of Living Stone church in Phnom Penh.

        Thank you so much for your prayers. Do drop us a few lines and share your recent news.

In Christ,                        
Joseph and Liza Ng
