虽然只有短短一年的时间，但和你们在一起真的是一件非常愉快的事情。感谢你们热情地欢迎我加入你们的社体！希望我有带给大家祝福，就像大家带给了我祝福一样。 

作为一间教会，盛港堂是蒙福的。平均起来，你们每周都有至少一位访客。对于你们来说，欢迎他人进入教会社体的机会是很大的。同时，作为周围为数不多的教会之一，你们有很多策略性的机会可以接触到周围的社区。我盼望你们能抓住上帝所给予的祝福来成长。 

离别是伤感的，但上帝有祂的目标和计划，让我们学习顺服上帝的旨意。我们卫理公会的巡回制度，就像一个旋转木马。有一天，我可能又会被派到盛港堂，我们就可以再续友情了，谁会知道呢？ 

愿上帝继续保守你们，大大地赐福你们！ 

平安，廖惠安牧师

It has been a great joy being with you though it was for a short one year. Thank you for warmly welcoming me into your community. I hope I have been a blessing to you even as you have been a blessing to me. 

As a church, SKMC is truly blessed. You have at least one visitor per week on average. The opportunity for you to welcome others into the church community is tremendous. Also, as one of very few churches around, you have a strategic opportunity to reach out to the surrounding community as well. My hope is that you will seize this blessing given by God to grow. 

While partings are sad, God has His purpose and plan for us. So we learn to submit to the will of God. And who knows? Our itinerant system is like a merry-go-round. One day, I may be circled back to SKMC and we will be able to re-establish our fellowship again. 

May God continue to bless you and prosper you greatly. 

Shalom, Rev Wilfred Leow

这的确是上帝的带领和供应。因为更改了短宣地点，我们才有机会探访一些属于Rangsit教会基督少年軍成员的家庭。

故事一： 这是我们探访的第一个家庭 。家中的爷爷在两年前信了主，成为基督徒。有一回，这位爷爷骑摩托车把孙子们送到校门口时，摩托车突然着火了。刚巧有一位Rangsit 教会的同工在那儿，便帮忙爷爷灭火并邀请爷爷到教会。爷爷借着这个事件便开始接触教会。虽然他的视力欠佳，他仍然忠心参加主日崇拜。我们探访爷爷的那日，和他同住的姐夫也在场。爷爷的姐夫因意外而受伤。当时，他一直坐在门外，看着我们。我们为爷爷和他的家境祷告之后就走向爷爷的姐夫, 为他祷告。
我们为着他的痊愈祷告，也告诉他要相信耶稣。奇妙的事情发生了。隔天主日，他竟坐着轮椅出现在教堂。教会的弟兄姐妹都欢迎他。午餐时，一些弟兄姐妹还把他带到牧师前带领他做决志祷告。感谢赞美主！在牧师的带领下他做了决志祷告，之后牧师还把挂在他颈项上的护身符除去。

故事二： 建筑工人，Mong和他的妻子，和两个女儿住在一间由Mong自己搭建的小屋子。他的妻子来自老挝，是一名天主教徒，而他自己则是位前佛教徒。由于Mong的妻子希望Mong 能成为基督徒而造成他们的夫妻关系有些不愉快。当时，Mong 找不到让他放弃佛教信仰的理由。可是有一回，他却答应和妻子一起去教会。从那时起，每当他想要成为基督徒时，他的脑海里就会出现一些挣扎。同时，他的身体状况并不是很好，他的右臂有些瘫痪，胸口也有点紧绷。在一次教会的祷告会中，他上前接受代祷。当一位会友为他的身体状况祷告时，他感受到仿佛有蚂蚁在他的右臂上爬行。当祷告结束后，他竟然能举起他的右臂，胸口的不适也消失了。从此，他就成为基督徒，忠心跟随主。当我们问他如何能为他祷告，他告诉我们为他的女儿祷告。上帝给了他异像，他的女儿将来会影响老挝属灵的气氛，把福音带到老挝。他也分享说在老挝，人民没有宗教自由。翻译员对我们说Mong听到上帝的声音，也决心要做上帝要他做的事。从这位看似平凡的弟兄的身上，我们见证了他有多么大的信心！

故事三：在Watnnala 学校教英文
Thanyaburi教会的Kuk 牧师接待了我们也为我们铺路，让我队有机会在Watnnala 学校教英文。起初，该校的校长并不赞成让一组基督徒来教学校的孩子。真的是上帝的带领，我们才能有机会进入这间学校。学校的反馈让我们得知学生们都非常喜欢通过游戏学习英文，认为学习英文其实非常有趣。

在整个短宣的过程中，我感受到当地基督徒，教会员工，Kuk 牧师以及Prueng 热情的接待，也感受到他们对上帝的信心，爱和忠诚。感谢主的带领和保守，在我们身上，也通过我们，让我们再次见证他奇妙的作为。

This was indeed God’s providence. Due to this change, the team had the opportunity to visit the homes of some members of the Boys Brigade from Rangsit Church on Saturday afternoon.

Story 1: The first home we visited – a grandfather who became a Christian about two years. He was dropping off his grandchildren at school when his motorbike caught fire. A church worker from Rangsit Church ‘happened’ to be there and helped to put out the fire and then invited him to church. It was through this that he went to Rangsit Church and has been attending the church faithfully despite his poor eyesight. When we visited his home, his brother-in-law who is staying with him, met an accident and was injured. After we prayed for the grandfather and his family’s situation, we also went over to pray for his brother-in-law who was sitting outside the house watching us all the time.

We prayed for his healing and after that told him to believe in Jesus. Wonder of wonders, the next day Sunday, he appeared in church on a wheelchair. Church members welcomed him and while we were having lunch, they pushed him to the pastor who prayed with him to receive Christ. Praise the Lord! He prayed with the pastor and after which the pastor removed the charms that were around his neck immediately.

Story 2: Next home of a builder, Mong – his home is just a small shed that he built to house himself, his wife and two daughters. His wife was a Roman Catholic from Laos while he was a former Buddhist. There was tension in their relationship in the beginning as the wife wanted him to become a Christian. He saw no reason why he should give up being a Buddhist. However, at one time he agreed to go to church with his wife. After that, he found that there was a fight inside his head when he was thinking of becoming a Christian. At the same time, his health was not good as he could not move his right arm and he had some tightness in his chest.

On another visit to the church, during prayer, he went forward to be prayed for. As someone prayed for his healing, he could feel as if there were ants crawling up his right arm. After the prayer, he could lift his right arm and also his chest discomfort disappeared. From then on, he became a faithful follower of Christ. When we asked him if there was anything we could pray for him, he told us to pray for his daughters as he had a vision that his daughters will one day be of great influence for change in the spiritual climate of Laos. In Laos, people do not have the freedom to worship God. We were told by our interpreter that he hears God and will do what God tells him. What great faith from a simple man!

Story 3: Teaching at Watnnala School

Pastor Kuk from Thanyaburi Church hosted us and opened the way for the team to teach English in Watnnala School. It was God’s providence that we were able to go to the school as the principal was initially not in favour of a Christian group teaching the students. The students had an enjoyable time learning and playing games. We also received feedback from the school that the children found learning English fun after all.

Throughout this mission trip, I experienced the faith, love, and faithfulness of the local believers and the church workers, Pastor Kuk and Prueng, who served us and brought us around during our stay in Thailand. I thank God for his guidance and protection throughout the trip and the wonderful way he worked in and through us.
