親愛的弟兄姊妹平安：

        「我要向耶和華歌唱，因祂用厚恩待我。」詩篇十三6

        神垂聽孩子們的禱告，賜我一部福音車子，不單是神用厚恩待我，而是祂的作為讓我讚嘆不已。本來答應我幫忙購買車子的年輕弟兄和姊妹，都因為臨時有事務纏身，不能幫助我，但神卻預備另一位更合宜的弟兄來幫助我。我於前幾個月才認識這位已退休的林弟兄，由於他已更換了很多次車輛，所以對車子比較熟識。當我從亞洲回來，便在網上尋找合宜的車子，雖然看到有價錢合適的，但是因為車子在較遠的城市，沒有人陪我去看，我只好白白看著車子被人買走。有一天，林弟兄看到一部車子，把信息發給我，我問他有沒有時間陪我去看？我約好車行的人員，林弟兄便載我去，並幫我看車、試車，終於把車子買下來。在訂購車牌的過程中，在網上居然有人嘗試誤導我付錢給他，最後我還是把錢拿回來。登記手續時，雖然遇到一些麻煩，但最終辦好一切手續，車行把車子送到我家。第二天我便要開車去吉森，雖然對車子的性能還不太認識，顯示跳出來的符號還不太明白，但也得硬著頭皮上路。比較糟糕的是，當天下大雨，白天還好，但是到了晚上回家的時候，天色漆黑一團，仍然下雨，開到本來熟識的公路口卻發現被封了，只得走另一段小路，路面更黑，又要看路、看時速，又要顧著雨刷，最後蒙神的保守，感恩能有驚無險地回到家。

        今年聖誕節，一位老姊妹為了邀請她的慕道朋友來我家吃飯，預備了豐盛的菜餚帶到我家，所以我比較輕鬆。除了她之外，也少不了邀請一些單身人士來過節。可惜，今年我們教會最老的姊妹於十二月初離世，她的兒子也因為身體不適不能來。

        昨天本來有一位剛認識的慕道友說要來探訪我，但因女兒突然生病不能來。不過，她還是願意跟我視訊了解基督信仰。用視訊來談道，這還是我的第一次。

感恩與代禱事項：

1. 感謝神及時的供應，在天黑得早的日子裡，賜下一部合宜的車子；在買車時，有懂得車子性能的弟兄來幫忙。也感謝神賜予愛心的弟兄姊妹為這車輛奉獻，更感謝你們的代禱！
2. 求主使用老姊妹，她在讀經班上得到鼓勵，正努力經常向才認識一年的慕道友作見證，帶她去教會聖誕聚會和來我家相聚。這位慕道友也曾是餐館業人士，與老姊妹是同行，所以很投契。求主幫助老姊妹把她從偶像的影響下擄掠過來！
3. 感謝主感動慕道友與我用視訊談福音，求主帶領她在尋找真理的過程中認識主，並接受主的救恩！她的丈夫是虔誠念經的，求主保守她不受先生的影響！

        感謝你們一年的陪伴，以禱告來托住這裡的事工！

        願主恩在新的一年與您和家人同在！

        祝新年蒙恩快樂！

Dear brothers and sisters,

        “I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.” Psalm 13:6

        God answered the prayers of his children and gave me a “gospel” car. It’s not just God’s great kindness that amazes me, but His actions also fill me with admiration. The young brother and sister who had promised to help me buy the car were unable to do so due to unforeseen circumstances. But God provided a more suitable brother to help me. I met this retired Brother Lin a few months ago. He has owned many cars throughout his life, so he is quite knowledgeable about them. When I returned from Asia, I searched online for a suitable car. Although I saw some reasonably priced ones, they were in distant cities, and I had no one to accompany me to see them. I could only watch them being sold. One day, Brother Lin saw a car and sent me the information. I asked him if he had time to go see it with me. I arranged with the dealership staff, and Brother Lin drove me there, helped me see and test drive the car, and finally, I bought it. During the process of ordering the license plate, someone online tried to mislead me into paying them, but I eventually got my money back. Although the registration process encountered some difficulties, everything was eventually completed, and the car dealership delivered the car to my home. The next day, I was to drive to Giessen. Although I wasn’t very familiar with the car’s performance and didn’t understand the symbols displayed on the screen, I set off anyway. To make matters worse, it rained heavily that day. It was fine during the day, but when I tried to return home that evening, it was pitch black and still raining. When I reached a familiar intersection, I found it closed, so I had to take a side road. The road was even darker, and I had to watch the road, monitor my speed, and keep an eye on the windshield wipers. Finally, thanks to God’s protection, I made it home safely.

        This Christmas, an elderly sister prepared a lavish meal to invite her seeker to my home for dinner, so I was relatively relaxed. Besides her, I also invited some single people to celebrate the holidays. Sadly, the oldest sister in our church passed away in early December, and her son couldn’t come due to illness.

        Yesterday, a new seeker I had just met was supposed to visit me, but her daughter suddenly fell ill and she couldn’t come. However, she still agreed to talk to me via video to learn about the Christian faith. This was my first time discussing the gospel via video.

Prayer and Thanksgiving Items:

1. Thank God for His timely provision, giving me a suitable car on a day when it gets dark early; and for the help of a knowledgeable brother when I bought the car! Thank God also to the loving brother and sister who donated to the car! And thank God for your prayers!
2. Pray that the Lord will use the older sister, who is encouraged in our Bible reading group and is diligently sharing her testimony with this seeker she has only known for a year, and bringing her to church’s Christmas service and to my home! This seeker also used to work in the restaurant industry, and she and the older sister get along very well. Pray that the Lord will help the older sister to bring the seeker to turn away from the influence of other religions!
3. Thank the Lord for moving the seeker to discuss the gospel with me via video! Lord, guide her to know you and accept your salvation in her search for truth! Her husband is deeply committed to his beliefs; may the Lord protect her from his influence!

        Thank you for your companionship throughout the year, upholding the ministry here through prayer!

        May the Lord’s grace be with you and your family in the New Year!

        Happy New Year!

Serving Him,
Karen Tang
