給 Cookeville 同工們的信

2007年1月20日(週六)我們去了Cookeville查經班(at Tennessee Tech University), 回來後寫了此信給Cookeville的同工們:

感謝主讓我們有機會與你們分享神的恩典！我們大家都在主日清晨平安的回到亞特蘭大，一路並未遇到雨，謝謝你們對我們的關心與代禱！

來Highway 111的路上看到美麗的田園風光，雖是冬季，仍然如此秀麗，可以想像春天該是如何驚艷！聽你們說早晨這一條路更美，谷中有山嵐霧氣，更添豐采。

看到大家投注心血又味道正宗的滿桌飯菜，我們除了感動外，又是驚訝！原來是丁師母在大家“材料缺乏”的時候就去Nashville採購，買回來後就開一天的雜貨店，供應大家的需要。，這也可說是一種事工了！

丁老師提到以前未邀請我們是有“不好意思”的顧慮，我跟丁老師說我們團隊事奉的目的是到有需要的地方去，不是人多人少的問題，因我們並不是來表演，而是來見證主的愛。所以主若帶領，我們很願意在你們看為合適的時間，繼續來與你們一同配搭，服事這裏的同學們。

我們雖不能說全然了解你們的辛勞，但從我們到各地查經班的經驗，我們可以體會一二﹕在同學們人生的這一站中，你們把福音的種子撒下去，儘你們所能的栽種灌溉。他們真正的發芽生長可能不在這裏，但你們仍然按神的託負忠心持守。願主的同在使你們心中喜樂，更加放膽的分享福音，將榮耀歸給祂，也把結果交託給祂！

2006 Germany Mission (中文版在右方Archives 2007/01)

By Kaichao Chang

With blessings and prayers from brothers and sisters, crystal angel made by other teammates on our backpack, six of us (Doris, Fui Chin, Grace, Ting, Michael, and Kaichao) left Atlanta on 12/23/06 (Sat) afternoon. Our hearts filled with anticipation also with a little bit sadness, this was Christmas after all, hoped that we could be with our families. But God has already entrusted us with this mission, as well as He prepared all sorts of blessing in us during our training, we prayed ﹕Lord! Please use us and may thy will be done!

Entered Germany in Munich, we must go through another security check to catch our final flight to Dresden. The line Michael and I stood before was stuck due to a family with a lot of “Jell” stuff in their carry-on. So 4 other team members took the flight in time, Michael and I will need to wait for another 4 hours. When we finally arrived at Dresden airport baggage claim area, surprisingly to see Doris, Grace, and Ting were there still. Only Fui Chin’s luggage with scheduled flight, so brother Huang who was waiting for us accompanied her to Mr. & Mrs. Fine’s house first. After we all got our luggage, brother Huang came back for us again.

This was Christmas Eve, brothers and sisters from Dresden Fellowship divided into 3 groups to do caroling. They went to those dormitories that tenanted a lot of Chinese students. At night they had a potluck dinner at Mr. & Mrs. Fine’s house. Even some seekers friends they just met came to this gathering. In a 650 S.F. house we had nearly 40 people! Ting lead us with guitar to sing some Christmas carols and other hymns, everyone had a joyful time! Our team members made a brief introduction of ourselves as well, sharing our purpose, and our personal testimonies. Michael shared about the miss-the-flight incident: miss a flight, we can wait for next one; miss our lives; we have no next-flight.

At sleep time, Michael and I occupied the living room. I assumed he will snore at some point, so I put my ear plug in. The result was I was the latest who got up since I could not hear my alarm watch! This day was Christmas Day. It’s a rainy day, not very cold. We went eastbound to Cottbus. Our meeting is at 2PM. Mr. Fine and 2 brothers accompanied us to train station and reminded us Cottbus was the last stop. This town has about 300 Chinese students. Our Team Guide sister Li who will be with us next few days was the leader of Cottbus Fellowship. Sister Angela and Jade from Jacksonville were there as well to help this evangelistic event. Our meeting places were 2 big classrooms in university, one for formal event, one for refreshments. When we started to set up our sound system, a bad power strip not only burned our keyboard but also short-circuited all the power outlets of these two classrooms. We could not reach school electrician since this was Christmas. Thank God, sister Li had a keyboard which was belonged to an African brother. Originally he wanted to bring the keyboard back to his hometown before Christmas. For some reason he did not come to pick up the keyboard. So here it was, we had our keyboard – the Lord provided everything we need according to His will. Finally we used the outlet in corridor, with several extension cords, had the power for our equipments. To accommodate the location of this outlet, we needed to switch furniture in these two classrooms. Seeing brothers and sisters moving the furniture swiftly without any complaint, I was very touched. There were 30 plus people in this meeting, one converted. We took another two and a half hours at after-the-meeting small group sharing. There were two questions offered for discussion: “Is there really a God?” and “What is love?” My group was all men, 5 of them were seekers. They were very interested in whether there is a God. That night we stayed at sister Li’s house. Sister Jade prepared a great meal for us. To let us have more space, sister Li arranged Angela, Jade, and herself, originally all stayed at her house, to live with other students that night. Her love for us warmed our heats and touched me deeply. Sister Li to this Fellowship actually was her little pastor, doing caring, teaching, and shepherding. God gave her multi-facet spiritual gifts and unusual spiritual experience.

12/26/06 (Tue), this was a foggy day. For today was still part of Christmas holiday, there was no bus in the morning. So we carried our luggage and equipments and walked about 20 minutes to train station. When finally arrived, we could barely catch our breath. We were spoiled in American life style; today’s walk was the pre-taste of next few days’ journey. Today we were southward to Zittau. One year ago there was only one believer here (Sister Zhan); today, there were 11, all sisters. This town had less than 100 Chinese Student, they all lived close to each other and they had a close bounding as well. Sister Angela and Jade’s pastor Rev & Mrs. Wang had already been here for few days to do discipleship training. The meeting place was at a German church whose pastor is very supportive of Chinese student mission. He mentioned their church had been blessed after they involved in this mission. There were about 40 people in this meeting, 3 gave their lives to Christ. Zittau Fellowship also presented two hymns in the meeting; their sincere and loving voices moved me to tears. They gathered every Sunday afternoon for Bible study. Please pray that they could have men Christian; if there were no brothers in the Fellowship, it’s harder to invite any male seekers to the group. At sharing time I talked to a girl seeker who had favorable impression about Christian faith. But she said her mother warned her become a Christian was against the whole family. I encouraged her that if God is real, He certainly deserves you to bring every hardship before Him and He will guide you through. After the meeting sister Li lead us to catch a late train back to Dresden. Men team members lived in brother Wang’s house; ladies team members lived in sister Wang’s. Only for few days, I could sense the close fellowship between brothers and sisters in various fellowship groups in eastern Germany.

12/27/06 (Wed), since we left Cottbus in a hurry yesterday, Ting forgot to bring his song book. Sister Li went back to retrieve it for him. I thanked her sincerely since one way train will take 2 hours. This day was the “easiest” one in our trip; we had 3 hours to stroll around historic sites of Dresden. Sister Wang will be our tour guide. Since being here, we noticed if we didn’t have a local guide, we even could not buy train or street car tickets. For Germany has a very complicated ticket system for public transportation. For instance, our street car today had one ticket for 4 person-4 stop, and another for one-hour unlimited ride. So you can understand why tourists will easily overpay for tickets – they cannot figure it out. But German precision about schedule also impressed me in our trip. During 8 days of train ride, we only had one train that was late for 3 minutes. Dresden was the only German city that was bombed after Germany surrendered. All significant historic building had been destroyed. But German with their perseverance and determination rebuilt the buildings by original design. If they could find a usable stone in the ruin, they would analysis its original location and put it back accordingly. At lunch we were in old market’s new shopping center and had some authentic German pork chop, ham, and hotdog.

Dresden had about 1,000 Chinese students, they scattered around town. The meeting at night was at a German church where Dresden Fellowship routinely meets. There were about 40 people and 3 professed their faith in Christ. This night by their request we compressed our program a little bit to reserve more time for after-the-meeting sharing. This adjustment brought additional pressure to our team and we had different opinions on which portion to cut. God helped us through and we learned the lessons of supporting each other and entrusting His guidance. Tonight Doris’ message was the best in the trip, full of His intimate presence. After the meeting I talked a brother who professed faith tonight. He will be back to China very soon; he hoped one day our team can go to university campuses in China to share the good news. I also talked to another seeker Mr. Liu who was eager to learn more about Christian faith. He will be back to China as well. I encouraged him to find a spiritual home in his hometown.

12/28/06 (Thu), in the morning 8 brothers and sisters from Dresden Fellowship met us at train station. Today we will go to Koethen which is three and a half hours train ride north of Dresden. This town had about 600 Chinese students. Brother Lu had been here for a month to visit students, invite them for dinners, and care for their needs – all by himself. Leader of Freiberg Fellowship sister Jin – the coordinator of our whole trip - was also here these few days to prepare for this event. Seeing brother Lu doing all these, I was very touched. There was no reason other than God’s love can move a 70-year-old brother who had a comfortable life in U.S. to here to care for these students who had no relationship to him. After lunch on the way to our meeting place, heavy snow was falling. This was the first time we saw snow since we’ve been in Germany. But none of us had interest to enjoy the scene, for this town was the first one we visited without any Christian fellowship, the sense of spiritual warfare occupied our hearts. There were 30 plus people attending the meeting, 3 became God’s children that afternoon. Refreshment time was very heart-warming; I shared my testimonies with 6 seekers. There were a male and a female student asked me questions about Christian marriage. I was very surprised. Later on I found out brother Lu already shared with them Christian perspective about marriage and warned them living together without marriage commitment was against God’s will. I shared with them what I learned in marriage about commitment and sacrifice.

Worthy to mention was the cleaning job of this meeting was done by all those seeker students. They said:”It’s our turn now!” So you can see what brother Lu had done for them. When we left, the heavy snow turned to heavy rain, so we must go quickly. When we arriving our next town of Chemnitz, it’s already 8PM. Brother Cheng was waiting for us. At this time there was 5 inches snow on ground. The usual 15 minutes walk became more than 40 minutes for we carried heavy luggage with wheels. If you have ever seen our team’s CD cover, that’s exactly fit that picture except in reality we had much heavier luggage. Ting and I would live in Chemnitz Fellowship meeting place which was a large community room in dormitory. We were the lucky ones since other team members needed to walk another 20 to 30 minutes to their living places.

12/29/06 (Fri), this day we would present in two towns – Freiberg and Chemnitz. Freiberg is 40-minute train ride eastward of Chemnitz; it had about 100 Chinese students. Freiberg Fellowship also meets at a German church. Rev & Mrs. Wang came here to help us today as well. This morning we found a very disturbing distraction – all the invitation cards for our trip, except Freiberg and Leipzig, had added introduction about us which was not true and we only found this today. Now was not the time to find out why this happened, but how we should do about this for there were Chemnitz and Ilmenau still had this wrong information. For our team to explain this, this was not our fault. For hosting fellowship to explain this, they might not know where this came from as well. Totally ignore this, we felt dishonest about it. We were really in a tough spot. I seek spiritual guidance from Rev Wang. His suggestion was we should ask Holy Spirit to shelter this; don’t let this mistake hinder every seeking heart before God. It’s not appropriate for us to explain this in the meeting for participants may not care about this. The most important thing is can all the seekers receive God’s message to them without any interference. If after the meeting someone asks about this then we should explain to him or her honestly. I transferred Rev Wang’s suggestion to Doris since she will deliver the message and the wrong information was mostly related to her. Our whole team prayed for Holy Spirit’s guidance. We asked God gave us peace in all this.

Freiberg Fellowship prepared a very delicate lunch for us with beautiful setting, just like in a high class restaurant. Their love and respect to us warmed our hearts. Sister Jin is a gifted God-loving person with spiritual authority. I believe God will use her in a wonderful way. There were 20 plus people for the meeting, 2 became God’s children that day. I had chance to talk to a seeker Mr. Lu. He was very close to salvation, may the Lord give him the final push.

At 7PM the meeting at Chemnitz Fellowship was located in a German Lutheran church. They were very supportive of Chinese student mission. They provided the best meeting place setting and sound system for us, even with sound control staff who can speak English. God protect Doris’ heart, she would not be bothered by the “wronged” information anymore. She delivered a spirited message with His help. Our singing was much better as well, with God’s blessing in our voices. There were close to 60 people there, 1 converted. At refreshment time I shared with a seeker Mr. Tan to true meaning of by faith to be called a righteous. Also talked to another seeker Mr. Jin about absolute truth, I encouraged him to seek faith that can change life inward and outward.

12/30/06 (Sat), today we were going to Ilmenau which is located northwest of Chemnitz. There was no fellowship group there. The town has at least 400 Chinese students mainly are language students. For now there is no one doing any pre-evangelistic work here. A Christian brother Liu who is working there volunteered to send out invitation cards to student dormitories. But he himself did not have many one-on-one contacts with them. Five brothers and sisters from Chemnitz Fellowship came with us for the trip. They would be in charge of meeting leading and refreshments. Mr. Fine and sister Wang from Dresden, Rev Hung and two coworkers from Leipzig, were also here with us. Beyond spiritual warfare of evangelistic meeting, today’s meeting also had spiritual struggle from another front. So at previous night, even the night was late, I decided to call a team meeting to explain this, so we could prepare our hearts and know how to pray for it. The situation was that during past few years, different group’s coworkers had different perspectives on mission work. We prayed in Ilmenau's meeting, God will be our focus and all those happened before will not be a hindrance to seekers. Doris told me during the meeting that she did not feel comfortable sharing the message under this circumstance. In the morning during my prayer, even though I did not know what I should share for the message, but I felt God gave me inner peace, I was not worried about it at all. On the way to train station I told Doris I can share the message not because I want to be a hero, not because a good leader should do this. But all because God gave me peace and He wanted to teach me a lesson of total submission and trust Him fully. Actually before this trip, around October, even though I knew I did not have to share message, I did try to prepare a message for this trip. But every time I started to write, there was no thought provoking point in my mind, so I just quit. Now I knew He wanted to teach me to totally depend on Him. Our whole team prayed for me. I finished my message during the train ride to Ilmenau.

Today’s was the coldest day since we had been here. There was no rain, no snow, just shear freezing wind. The scheduled meeting time 2PM was up, no one showed up. Chemnitz Fellowship coworkers made a prompt decision to invite students now. Against bone chilling wind, they brought whole bunch of magazines and other spiritual reading materials to hit the road. For quite a while, few students came. We chatted with them to know them more. At 3:30PM, our must-start delayed meeting time, we started our program. There were less than 10 students. God protected our hearts, did not feel discouraged. Even our voices had been worn out for singing and talking, by God’s grace this did not affect our presentation at all. There were two converted at that meeting. God also blessed us that nothing troubled seekers’ hearts had happened. After the meeting I talked to new believer sister Wang, I encouraged her to start reading the bible and praying the Him.

Chemnitz Fellowship coworkers needed to catch their train so they left early. But their passion for the Lord encouraged our hearts. Our team will follow Rev Hung to Leipzig, Mr. Fine and sister Wang also took the same train to Leipzig for their transition train to Dresden. Our Team Guide sister Li will be with them and to her home Cottbus as well. So this was the last time we could see her. These few days, she wore her hands by dragging our luggage, made sandwiches for us at train, reminded us to eat more fruit, her shouting “this stop off the train” was better than any alarm clock, during the program gave us signals to raise or lower voices, and massaged our shoulders. All these memorable moments came to a halt at this farewell moment. I did not want her leave but did not know what to do. Finally I said: We still don’t have your recording on “this stop off the train”! If there were only she and our team presence, I will cry like a baby.

12/31/06 (Sun), previous night we lived in dormitory of a German church which Leipzig Fellowship shared the space. The dormitory is in the church so it’s very convenient for us. These few days’ walking to me is three months’ portion in Atlanta. The meeting was 3PM. Today Fui Chin’s coughing finally took over her voice, she was tired, emotionally she simply wanted to go home, but she stayed with us till the last program by her will. Before the meeting I told her:”Fui Chin, there is no one we can spare in our team” Indeed, her determination and courage proved this point! There were 50 plus people attending the meeting, 3 converted today. We all experienced God was doing healing work in the meeting; several brothers and sisters bowed their heads and wept. God comforted them with His joy. I talked to Mr. Han after the meeting, sharing how God changed my inconsistency problem and how powerful His word is. I observed during the conversation, his attitude changed dramatically, this was the work of our living God!

It’s already 10PM when we took train back to Dresden. Sister Li’s cards to us were waiting for us at coffee table; also she cooked a creamy grains and beans pot for us. What a thoughtful sister! Joyfully sharing what we had learned with Mr. & Mrs. Fine, I suddenly noticed our trip had come to an end. Physically we were exhausted and wanted to go home. But our hearts were still with these lovely brothers and sisters. I wrote below prayer at the flight back to Atlanta, I shared with you the latter half to conclude my sharing:
(There are some personal notes before below text, sorry I cannot share)

God’s Kingdom needs this kind of people
But how many are prepared?
How many are willing to pay the price?
And how many are willing to go?
Lord! I don’t know what I could do for them
But I’m willing, please lead me
Not temporary zeal
Not want to be a hero
Is your own calling:”You feed my lambs”
Not a 100-meter dash
Not the sincere faces I saw
Is your love, Lord! For you love them so much
So we should go
We are only a small link of your Kingdom plan
But for this link we cannot thank you enough
We already tasted the joy of walking with you
And your endless grace
Let me put my life into your hands
With total submission
Not by my own wisdom
Not by my own experience
Not by my own knowledge
Not by my own passion
But follow the Spirit
Put out my one hundred percent
And see how you accomplish your one hundred percent!

福音隊2006德東短宣所到城市

福音隊2006德東短宣之行分享

張開兆

帶著弟兄姊妹的祝福與代禱，背包上掛著隊友為我們做的水晶小天使，我們六人（周杏宜、李慧貞、區瑞怡、姚鼎、曹昌權、張開兆）在12月23日（週六）下午出發了。心情是充滿了期待又有所不捨，畢竟這是聖誕佳節，很希望能跟家人一起度過；但想到神給我們的感動與託負，以及祂在我們預備此行過程中所賜下的種種祝福與印證，我們說﹕主啊！求你使用我，願你的旨意成就！

在慕尼黑入關之後，我們必須再經過安全檢查然後轉機到Dresden，昌權和我所站的那一條線因為前面有一個家庭帶了許多Jell之類的用品，被細查了許久，耗掉了許多時間，我們因此沒趕上轉接的飛機，只好搭四小時之後的下一班。當我們到了Dresden機場取行李時，驚訝的發現杏宜、瑞怡、姚鼎也在拿行李的地方，原來只有慧貞的行李趕上了這班飛機，所以來接我們的黃長生弟兄就先送慧貞回范大勝、錢致渝夫婦家（我們都跟著學生一起叫他們范老師、錢老師；他們現在正式定名的機構名稱是“歐洲校園事工 ECM – Europe Campus Ministries”）。拿了行李走出去時，黃弟兄已經再次趕來，在等我們了。由於我們到的日子是聖誕夜，這一天下午Dresden團契的弟兄姊妹分成三組去中國學生集中的宿舍報佳音，晚上就在范老師家聚餐，還有一些順道邀請來的慕道友，總共近40人，姚鼎用吉他帶領大家唱詩歌，非常喜樂！我們也做了簡短的自我介紹、分享我們為什麼要來，以及個人的心路歷程。昌權特別提到沒趕上轉接班機的事情﹕飛機誤了，可以等下一班；人生誤了，可沒有下一班可等。

晚上睡覺時，昌權和我睡客廳，我因“預計”昌權會打鼾，所以塞了耳塞，結果連自己的鬧錶鈴聲都沒聽到，身為領隊反而是最晚起的一個。這一天，12月25日（週一），陰雨的天氣，並沒有很冷，我們要去東邊的Cottbus，聚會是下午兩點鐘。范老師和兩位弟兄送我們上火車，到終站即是Cottbus，這一個城約有300名中國學生。我們此行的隨隊同工李娟就是這邊查經班的負責人。來自佛羅里達Jacksonville的顧美華（我們都叫她冬冬）與李玉姊妹這幾天也在這裏帮忙。聚會的地方是學校裏兩間大教室，一間聚會用，一間茶點用。沒想到一開始裝置音響時，因為帶去的一個插線座故障，不僅燒掉了我們的電子琴，也使兩間教室的插座全部短路，無法使用，又因為是聖誕節，學校的電工也無法聯絡上。感謝主！李娟姊妹有一台電子琴是一位非洲弟兄寄放在她那邊的，本來聖誕節前這位弟兄要帶回去他家鄉的，但因故沒來拿，所以我們能有此琴可用，這一切都是神的預備！結果我們是用走廊上的電源，以多條延長線接進來，供音響使用。為此我們還對調了兩間教室的家具，以遷就電源的位置。看到弟兄姊妹毫無抱怨的迅速搬家具，有為主而做的喜樂，我心中非常感動！詩歌佈道會共有30多位參加（包括我們福音隊，以下皆同），有一位決志，會後我們有兩個半小時的分組分享時間，討論“到底是不是有神？”與“什麼是愛？”我在的那一組全是男生，有5位福音朋友，他們對於是不是有神，非常有興趣。當晚我們住在李娟姊妹家，李玉姊妹為我們預備了豐盛的晚餐。李娟為了讓我們住的寬裕，安排原本住她家的冬冬、李玉和她自己去其他同學家住，我們可說是鵲巢鳩佔，她們的愛心讓我們溫馨不已。李娟姊妹在這個團契裏，事實上就是擔任小牧師的角色，牧養、關懷、造就全都做，神也給她多方恩賜及不平凡的屬靈經歷。

12月26日（週二），清晨起來，外面大霧迷蒙，因今天仍是假期，早上沒有公車，我們背著行李及裝備走了20多分鐘到火車站，個個氣喘吁吁，我們在美國實在是太安逸了，今早的步行是往後幾天行程的預嚐。我們要去的地方是往南的Zittau，一年前這裏只有戰劍姊妹一位基督徒，但聖靈大大動工，這半年內有10位信主，全是姊妹。這個城的中國學生不到百位，但都住的很集中，不管是不是基督徒，他們彼此的關係都相當緊密，常常彼此照應。來自佛羅里達Jacksonville的王凱聰牧師夫婦（冬冬、李玉的牧師）已在這裏幾天，替她們做門徒訓練。場地是一個非常支持學生工作的德國教會所提供，教會的牧師也來接待我們。他表示在他們支持學生工作之後自己的教會也有增長，看見神的祝福與同在！聚會共有40位左右參加，有3位決志。Zittau的姊妹們也在會中獻詩，誠摯的歌聲讓我的眼淚情不自禁的流下來。目前Zittau的姊妹們在每個主日下午有查經，請為能有男同學信主代禱，沒有弟兄在團契中，就更不容易邀請男同學來團契。陪談時一位慕道的女同學談到她對基督徒的信仰很羨慕，但媽媽嚴正的警告她這是背叛家庭的事情。我勉勵她神若是真的，就值得你將這一切難處帶到他面前，看他怎樣帶領你來經歷他。結束後我們就與李娟一同趕火車回Dresden，當晚弟兄們住王翔弟兄家，姊妹們住王芳姊妹家。雖只來了短短幾天，但我們已能感受到德東各團契的弟兄姊妹他們彼此之間的深厚情誼。

12月27日（週三），姚鼎的詩本因離開Cottbus時極為匆忙，忘了帶，李娟還特別在這天趕回Cottbus拿（火車單程需兩小時），真感謝她的愛心！這日是我們行程中最“輕鬆”的一天，白天我們有三個小時左右時間，逛一逛Dresden易北河旁的市中心古蹟，王芳和秀秀擔任我們的嚮導。來此後深深體會到若沒有熟人幫忙，火車及電車票都不知該如何買，原因是德國的票種極其複雜，比方說我們這天的電車票就買了一張可搭四人，四站以內的及一小時內無限搭乘的，以此類推，你就知道為什麼外來的人常會買最貴的票了，因為搞不懂！但德國火車的準時也是沒話說，我們在德國8天，只有一班車誤點3分鐘。Dresden是二次大戰德國投降後被英國報復性轟炸的唯一城市，所有重要建築均無倖免。但德國人以堅毅無比的精神，按原設計重建，若廢墟中找到完整的石塊，他們用電腦分析出這石塊原先的位置，仍把它砌回原來的位置，讓人嘆為觀止！午餐我們到“老市場”的“新購物中心”去，嚐了一些德國菜，有炸豬排、火腿、烤腸等等。

Dresden因是大城，有近千位中國學生，但住的極為分散。晚上的聚會是在Dresden團契平常聚會的德國教會舉行，約有40位參加，有3位決志，感謝主！這晚我們應團契的請求，縮短我們原本的節目，以多留時間做會後陪談，這調整帶給我們額外的壓力，在內容取捨上我們彼此也有不同意見，但主保守我們度過，我們也學習到了彼此支持、全然交託的功課。今晚杏宜所分享的信息也是我覺得最有主的同在的一次。會後和今晚決志的陳弟兄談，他是公派出來，即將回桂林科技大學去，他很希望有機會我們能去中國的大學校園傳福音。還和一位慕道的劉同學談，他對基督徒的信仰很有好感，他也是即將回哈爾濱去，鼓勵他回國後要找屬靈的家。

12月28日（週四）早上8位Dresden團契的弟兄姊妹與我們在火車站會合，今天我們要去在Dresden 北方的Koethen，車程三個半小時，這個城約有600多中國學生。呂孝培長老（以下稱呂老師）已在此開荒一個月，去學生宿舍探訪他們，請他們吃飯，關心他們的需要，一切都是自己來。Freiberg團契的負責人，也是這次所有行程的總策劃金磊姊妹也特地過來幫忙。當我看到呂老師在這裏所擺上的，心中真是非常感動，除了主的愛，沒有理由一位年已70，在美國已安居多年的長輩，會來到這裏關懷這些與他非親非故的年輕學子。午餐後往聚會場地德國教會的路上，天飄起了鵝毛大雪，這是我們來德國後第一次看到下雪，我們並沒有太多的心思來欣賞，因為這是我們所到的第一個沒有團契的城市，屬靈爭戰的意識佔據了我們的心。聚會共有30多位參加，有3位決志。會後的陪談也十分美好，我和6位福音朋友分享我的見證；有一對男女同學問到有關基督徒婚姻觀的問題，我很驚訝，事後才知道呂老師曾和他們談過這方面的事情，告訴他們同居不合神的心意。除了不打折扣的與他們分享聖經原則外，也分享自己在婚姻中所學到有關夫妻彼此委身的功課。

值得一提的是，會場的清理是來參加的同學們做的，他們說﹕“這次該我們的了！”可見呂老師之前為他們所做的一切。離開時天氣轉為下雨，而且還下得不小，我們背著行囊火速趕到火車站，搭車去Dresden西邊的Chemnitz。到達Chemnitz時已是晚上8點，程偉弟兄在火車站接我們。此時地上積雪已有5吋左右，本來15分鐘的路我們走了40分鐘，特別是需要靠輪子拖著走的重行李，在雪地裏是寸步難行。如果您看過福音隊為此行所錄製的CD“與你同行”的封面，正跟那情景相同，只差行李要重得多。姚鼎和我是住在學生宿舍內，他們Chemnitz團契平時聚會的中廳（即宿舍的活動室），還算最近的，姊妹們及昌權又再走了20至30分鐘才到住的地方。

12月29日（週五），這一天我們要去兩個地方Freiberg 和Chemnitz。Freiberg在Chemnitz東邊約40分鐘車程，有大約100位中國學生。這邊的團契也是借德國教會聚會。佛羅里達的王牧師夫婦也趕到此地與我們同工。這一天早上我們發現一件非常困擾我們的事﹕這次所有的邀請卡，除了Freiberg及Leipzig之外，都有與事實不符的介紹，而我們到現在才發現。現在不是追究為什麼會發生這種事情的時刻，關鍵是我們該如何處理？因為接下來還有Chemnitz 和Ilmenau兩地是接到這邀請卡的。是由我們出面說明嗎？這不是我們的錯；當地同工出面說明嗎？也不是他們的錯，因為那些“不實內容”他們也是copy來的，他們也不知情；完全不提嗎？我們心中不平安。我們真是在兩難之間。我向王牧師尋求屬靈的指引，他的建議是﹕我們求聖靈保守此事，不讓這錯誤攔阻了人來到主面前；我們不合適在聚會中說明此事並為此道歉，因為來的人不見得注意或在乎此細節，重要的是他們是否能不被打岔的得著我們所帶來的信息；如果有人私下問及，我們則必須解釋說明。我將王牧師的意見告知杏宜，因為她要分享信息，同時這與事實不符的介紹是衝著她來的，我們全隊一起求聖靈帶領此事，讓我們在主面前有平安。

Freiberg團契為我們預備的午餐就像在大餐廳用餐，從食物到擺設都十分精美，他們對我們的愛與尊重讓我非常感動。金磊姊妹神給她許多恩賜，說話有屬靈的權柄，相信神會大大的用她。聚會共有20多位參加，聚會中及會後共有兩位決志。我和呂同學談，他已離救恩之門不遠，願主給他臨門一腳的幫助。

晚上在Chemnitz的聚會是在一間路德教會舉行，他們非常支持中國學生事工，他們的同工還佈置了美侖美奐的會場，並且音響設備齊全並有音控同工。神保守杏宜的心，不被邀請卡的事情所影響，靠主分享主託負給她的信息。我們的歌聲也越來越和諧，有神的祝福在其中。聚會共有近60位參加，有1位決志。會後和譚同學用畫圖的方式分享因信稱義的真理；挑戰靳同學唯有使人說的與做的能一致的信仰，才是值得追求的。

12月30日（週六），今天要去的Ilmenau在Chemnitz的西北方，沒有團契，至少有400位學語言為主的中國學生。目前沒有人在做開荒關懷的工作，有一位在那邊工作的基督徒劉永合弟兄幫忙發邀請卡到學生宿舍，但他本人並沒有太多與學生一對一的接觸。Chemnitz團契5位同工與我們一起去，他們將會負責領會及茶點預備。此外范老師和王芳、Leipzig教會的洪牧師及他們的兩位同工王棟傑和方然也去了。今天這聚會除了福音事工的爭戰之外，還有額外的爭戰，所以前一天晚上聚會結束後雖然很晚了，我還是決定召聚我們隊員和大家說明，好讓我們有心理準備，也知道該如何禱告。事因是在過去幾年德東事工的過程中，不同單位的同工在事奉上有不同看法。我們求主保守這次在Ilmenau的工場上，主自己是我們的焦點，使這些事不成為慕道朋友的攔阻。杏宜在此時已告訴我她不便在此情形下分享信息，在清晨起來禱告時，我雖還不知該講什麼信息，但主給我平安，我一點也不擔心了。早上在搭電車去火車站的路上，我跟杏宜說，我可以分享信息並不是想做英雄，也不是這樣才算是一個好領隊，而是神有給我平安，而且我覺得他要教導我全然倚靠他的功課；因為在來之前，我雖然不需要分享信息，但我是有想過為此行寫一篇信息，然而每次想要寫時，卻是沒什麼好的切入點，因此也就作罷。現在我知道神要教導我全然倚靠他，我們全隊也為我禱告。我的講章是在到Ilmenau的火車上完成的。

今天是我們來德國後最冷的一天，沒有雨，沒有雪，但寒風刺入骨髓。原定的聚會時間兩點到了，沒有一個人來，Chemnitz團契的同工當機立斷，頂著刺骨寒風，帶著屬靈雜誌等走去學生宿舍叩門邀請。過了許久，才零星有學生來，我們隊員就先和他們談。三點半到了，這是我們預定最晚必須開始的時間，於是我們就直接開始了，同學來了不到10位。神保守我們隊員的心，不被這些事影響，此外連日下來，我們的聲音已消耗許多，在加上剛才的會前交談，真是不容易。但我覺得我們的節目品質並沒有受影響，這是神的恩典。有兩位在這聚會中決志。神也保守沒有任何攔阻慕道友的事情發生。會後我和今天決志的汪姊妹談，勉勵她如何開始讀經及向神禱告。

Chemnitz團契的同工雖因要趕車先回去了，但他們為主擺上的熱情卻激勵我們的心！聚會後我們跟洪牧師一起去Leipzig，范老師、王芳也搭同班車到Leipzig轉車回Dresden，李娟也要跟著他們回Dresden然後再回Cottbus了，所以我們此行不會再相見了。幾天的相處，她幫我們拖行李到手摩破，在火車上為我們做三明治，叮嚀我們吃水果，一聲“下車！”比任何鬧鐘都還管用，在節目進行時給我們暗號那一部該大聲一點，為我們按摩肩膀，替我們刮痧，這些難以割捨的時光，如今我們卻必須告別。心中的不捨使我拙口笨舌，只想到說﹕我們還沒有把你說的“下車！“錄起來。我想要是只有她和我們在場，我一定會大哭一場。

12月31日（週日），我們前晚是住在Leipzig教會所借用的德國教會的宿舍，跟教會在同一棟建築裏，省去我們走許多的路（我這幾天所走的路，大概抵得上我在Atlanta三個月的分量）。聚會是下午三點，今天慧貞撐了多天的咳嗽終於沙啞了她的聲音，她渾身疲憊，情緒上只想馬上回家，她是全憑意志跟我們爭戰到聚會結束。會前我跟她說﹕我們這個Team，一個人都少不了。的確，慧貞的決心與勇氣證明了這一點！聚會共有50多位參加，會中及會後共有3位決志信主。我們感受到神在這個聚會中做醫治的工作，好幾位弟兄姊妹埋頭哭泣，神以他自己的喜樂來安慰他們。會後和韓同學談，分享神如何改變我表裏不一的問題，神的話大有能力；我觀察到他談話前後對基督徒信仰的態度就截然不同，這是神自己的工作！

搭火車趕回Dresden已近晚上10點鐘，李娟給我們的卡片在茶几上迎接我們，她也事先煮了一鍋五榖雜糧粥給我們，真是個貼心的姊妹！和范老師、錢老師喜樂的分享我們此行的感受時，才清楚意識到我們的短宣之行已經結束了。身體上，我們的確疲憊得想趕快回家；但想到這些可愛的弟兄姊妹，心中著實不捨。我在回來的飛機上寫下了以下的禱告，我節錄後半段，以此做為分享的結束﹕
（前面我寫到一些很個人的事情，不便分享）

神的國度需要這樣的人
不知多少人已預備好？
不知多少人願意付代價？
不知多少人願意去？
主啊！我不知道我能給同學們多少幫助
但我願意，求主帶領
不是一時的熱心
也不是想做英雄
是主自己的託負﹕“你餵養我的羊“
不是五分鐘熱度
不是同學們渴慕的臉
是主的愛！主！因為你愛他們
所以我們要去
我們只是你神國計畫的一小環節
但這環節已使我們感恩不盡
使我們嚐到與你同行的喜樂
與你那無盡的恩典
讓我把自己交託在你的恩手當中
全然倚靠你
不靠自己的聰明
不靠自己的經驗
不靠自己的知識
不靠自己的熱心
乃是隨從聖靈行事
擺上自己的百分之百
看你如何做成你的百分之百！
