親愛的主內弟兄姊妹們,平安:
我們剛剛在加拿大慶祝了感恩節,有很多值得我們感恩的事情:我們的家人、朋友和同工。最值得一提是慶祝我們的差會——中華福音使命團CEM成立50週年慶典,我們到泰國參加了宣教士退修會和泰國全體信徒的慶祝活動。泰國是我們宣教事工的起點,因為郭誠先生願意接觸泰國北部的人,把他們帶到耶穌的救贖恩典之下。後來天父差遣了一位年輕人,現在我們的國際總幹事朱昌錂牧師來協助他。神在50年中信實地帶領宣教士到泰國服侍,現在我們在15個國家工場有42位宣教士。
很高興能見到來自泰國各教會的會眾,以及來自不同國家的同工和宣教士。在泰北芳縣的中華福音使命團金禧廣場舉行的五十週年慶典崇拜,有千多人參加。到泰國之前一星期,我們有機會返回柬埔寨,這是我們的第二個家。很高興見到舊朋友,也認識了教會裡的新朋友。約瑟跟六人團隊去離開金邊100公里的茶膠省家訪傳福音,我們探了十家人,有九人接受耶穌。茶膠省比較貧窮,有需要扶助兒童上學。回加拿大之前,我們就藉此機會路經台灣探望朋友,一起渡過了許多歡樂時光,留下了美好的回憶!
感謝您對我們及活石堂的支持和禱告。請繼續為我們代禱。
感恩事項:
- 感謝天父的恩典,祂在過去50年建立了中華福音使命團的宣教工作。
- 在柬埔寨的一週裡,我們有機會與活石堂會友見面,和探訪茶膠省未信主的家庭。非常感恩能看到活石堂的一些信徒在主裡成長,10月初在茶膠省家訪時有九人信主。
- 我們有機會探望住台灣的支持者,並在台灣各地遊覽。
禱告事項:
- 為我們在泰國感染的流感能完全康復,也求主保守我們免受其他病毒的侵襲。
- 為渥當10月從聖經學校畢業後在我們教會中的事奉禱告。
- 為茶膠省的外展事工,為跟進初信的人禱告。我們需要聚會的地點、作為開展新的工作之用。
非常多謝您們以禱告支持活石堂和茶膠省的事工。

約瑟,月甜上
Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,
In Canada we just celebrated Thanksgiving Day. We have so much to be grateful for: our family, friends and coworkers. The highlight is the celebration of our mission, CEM’s 50th anniversary. We attended the missionary retreat and the celebration of all believers in Thailand where our mission work started. We’re reminded that because Mr. Kwok’s willingness to reach out to the people in Northern Thailand brings them to the saving grace of Jesus. Then God sent a young man, Calvin Chu, our General Director to help him in this endeavor. God is faithful in bringing missionaries to serve in Thailand and now we have 42 missionaries in 14 countries.
It’s amazing to see different members from all churches in Thailand and coworkers and missionaries from all different countries to celebrate the 50th anniversary. The other highlight is to be able to visit our second home in Cambodia for a week. So great to see friends and meet new people in our church. Joseph was able to go with the team to see the possible work in Takeo province.
Before coming back to Canada, we took the opportunity to visit friends in Taiwan. Many memories and fun times together!
Thanks for your support and prayers for us personally and our church in Phnom Penh. Please continue to praise God and remember our prayer requests.
Praise items:
- Thank God for His grace, which has established the missionary work of the China Evangelistic Mission over the past 50 years.
- During our week in Cambodia, we had the opportunity to meet with members of Living Stone Church and visit unbelieving families in Takeo Province. We were deeply grateful to see some of the members of Living Stone Church grow in the Lord. After visiting 10 homes in Takeo Province, nine people received Jesus as their savior.
- We also had the opportunity to visit supporters in Taipei and Kaohsiung. We traveled throughout Taiwan.
Pray Requests:
- For a full recovery from the flu, we contracted in Thailand. Pray that the Lord protects us from the virus in Calgary.
- Pray for Udom’s ministries in our church after he graduates from Bible school this month.
- Pray for our outreach in Takeo Province, following up with new believers. We need a meeting place for our new work in Takeo Province.
In Him,
Joseph and Liza Ng
