Today and next Sunday, our preachers will be reminding us of God's heart for making disciples of all nations. This calling is central to our faith and our mission as a church.
In late September the global church came together for the Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelisation. This was a significant event focused on uniting Christians worldwide in the mission to share the Gospel. Rev Patrick Fung will be sharing his insights from the conference over lunch on November 24th. I encourage you to join us for this opportunity to learn more about how God is moving globally.
Closer to home, we are blessed to support dedicated gospel workers who are serving in Australia and overseas. I encourage you to get to know at least one of these individuals or families a little better, so we can more effectively support them in their work. Here are some highlights of their ministries:
University Student Ministries: Eight families and individuals serve in campus ministries across Australia, including members of our congregations: Tim and Bec, Becky, Natalie, and Kirsten.
OMF gospel workers: Five families and individuals, including Patrick and Jennie Fung, Sunny and Wendy Wong (in Cambodia), and Jason and Hiwin Tam (in Taiwan), serve with OMF to share the Gospel in diverse communities.
SIM gospel workers: Four families and individuals, including Stanley Leong, partner with SIM to reach people in need of Christ.
National Leaders: Rev. Dennis To and Rev. David Zheng, both national directors for their missionary organisations in Australia, will be speaking with us either today or next Sunday.
Other Ministries: Christine Mao ministers through hospital chaplaincy, a missionary family serves in Mongolia, and Ronald Suah is the Dean of Myanmar Evangelical Graduate School of Theology.
We are grateful for the privilege of supporting these devoted workers as they answer God’s call to make disciples of all nations. Each of their journeys is unique, yet they share the same mission—to bring God’s love where it is most needed. Let us keep them in our prayers, asking God to guide us in finding meaningful ways to support them in this vital work.
今天和下週日的講道中，傳道人將提醒我們，神的心意是要使萬民作主的門徒。這個使命是我們信仰的核心，也是我們教會的使命。
在剛過去的九月底，第四屆洛桑世界福音大會召集了全球的教會，專注於團結世界各地的信徒，攜手完成傳揚福音的使命。馮浩鎏牧師將於11月24日午餐時段，與我們分享他在這次會議中的心得。鼓勵大家參加這個分享機會，一同來認識神在普世中的工作。
靠近我們的，我們蒙恩能夠支持許多忠心的福音工作者，他們正服事於澳洲和海外各地。鼓勵大家可以多了解這些福音工作者或家庭的其中一位，好讓我們更有效地支持他們的服事。以下是他們事工的幾個亮點：
大學生福音事工：八個家庭或個人在澳洲各地的大學校園中事奉，其中包括我們教會會友Tim和Bec、聶小燕、梁詩詠和梁靖。
OMF差會的工作者：五個家庭或個人與OMF合作，其中包括馮浩鎏牧師與太太珍妮、在柬埔寨服事的黃曉暉與張蕙心夫婦，以及在台灣服事的譚健生牧師與李凱韻師母。
SIM差會的工作者：四個家庭或個人與SIM合作，其中包括Stanley Leong。
全國的領袖：杜偉雄牧師與鄭鷗牧師都是他們所屬宣教機構的澳洲區主任，他們將在今天或下週日與我們分享。
其他事工：馬紹敏在醫院擔任院牧，一個家庭在蒙古服事，而Ronald Suah則是緬甸福音神學研究院的院長。
我們感恩能夠支持這些忠心的工人回應神的呼召，去使萬民作主的門徒。他們的旅程各有不同，但他們的使命相同——將神的愛帶到最需要的地方。讓我們繼續為他們禱告，求神帶領我們，找到有意義的方式去支持他們在這項重要的工作上。
