Notes for the Talks on Aug 1-3 at the Church Weekend Away & Sunday Service

8 月月月月 1-3 日日日日教會退修營教會退修營教會退修營教會退修營及主日崇拜及主日崇拜及主日崇拜及主日崇拜講講講講道道道道筆記筆記筆記筆記 MMMMartin Goldsmithartin Goldsmithartin Goldsmithartin Goldsmith

Talk 1:Unity in Christ in Service The scandal of the Philippines – three thousand denominations registered with the government (plus many independent Pentecostal churches!). What do non-Christians think when they see this? We are called to unity of heart between Christians personally and between churches Unity of heart, not necessarily organizationally – my brothers each run their homes in different ways, but we are still one family together! The Importance of Unity John 17.20-23: Jesus feels the importance of unity, so prays that we may be one (20/21) Our unity is based on and demonstrates the unity of Jesus with the Father (21) “So that the world may believe that you have sent me” (21, 23) Jesus has given us his glory, so that we may be one together (22) The Basis of Unity Ephesians 4.3-6: God has brought us into one spiritual family together, but we are commanded to “keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace”. One body – one Spirit – one hope – one Lord – one faith – one baptism – one God and Father The means to unity Colossians 3 Right motives and attitudes to life (1 and 2) Right behaviour (5-9) Consciously adopt right inter-ethnic and inter-cultural attitudes (10 and 11) How to relate to each other (12-14)

第一講第一講第一講第一講:在基在基在基在基督裡合一的事奉督裡合一的事奉督裡合一的事奉督裡合一的事奉

菲律賓的醜聞：在政府註冊的基督教宗派多達三千個（另加許多獨立的靈恩派教會！）面對這個現象，一個非基督徒怎麼想？ 我們的呼召：基督徒之間的心靈合一，以及教會之間的合一。 心靈上的合一，而並非組織上的合一： 我的兄弟各有各個的持家方式，但我們仍然是一家人！

合一的重要 約翰福音 17.20-23: 耶穌感覺到合一的重要性，所以禱告讓我們合一 (20/21)

我們的合一是基於並展示耶穌與聖父的合一(21) 「叫世人可以信你差了我來」(21, 23)

耶穌已賜給我們榮耀，以便我們能夠合而為一 (22)

合一的基礎 以弗所書 4.3-6: 上帝已帶我們進入同一個屬靈的家，但同時教導我們「用和平彼此聯絡，竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心。」 一個身體 – 一個聖靈 – 一個指望 – 一主 – 一信 – 一洗 – 一神與父

合一的途徑 歌羅西書 3 正確的動機和生活態度(1 - 2) 正確的行為 (5-9)

留心採納正確的跨倫理與跨文化態度 (10 及 11)

學習如何彼此相處 (12-14)

3

Right inter-personal relationships (18-23 and 4.1) The call to unity leads on to our need of prayer (4.2) and to our witness (4.2) The results of unity We have already seen that our loving unity together shows people that Jesus is indeed God’s saving messenger to the world. Our unity demonstrates the truth of Jesus as Saviour. Acts 2.42-47: the united life and witness of the early Christians led to people being added to the church each day That is our aim too – that the multitudes

of Chinese and other peoples might turn

to Jesus in saving faith and follow him

as his servants too.

正確的人際關係 (18-23；4.1)

合一的呼召導致我們對禱告的需要(4.2) 以及我們的見證 (4.3) 合一的結果 我們已經看到：我們的彼此相愛與合一向世人證明耶穌的確是上帝拯救世界的使者。我們的合一證實耶穌是救主的真理。 使徒行傳 2.42-47: 早期基督徒的合一生活和見證每天將更多的人帶到教會。 這也是我們的目標：使更多中國人及其他民族的人轉向耶穌，得到救恩，跟隨事奉他。

Talk 2: Spiritual Leadership and

Discipleship Every culture has its own patterns of leadership and these inevitably influence the Christian church. Chinese patterns of leadership are generally influenced by the Confucian background of pyramid-style relationships. The traditional five relationships can easily be transferred into the life of the Christian church. Prince/pastor or Christian leader with his/her people; parent and child; husband and wife; older brother/sister and younger brother/sister; friend and friend. The senior expects filial respect, obedience and honour, but he/she also has the duty of nurturing, caring and providing for those below him/her. While traditional cultural patterns of leadership and discipleship have much which benefits the church, we also need to adapt them in accordance with biblical teaching.

第二講第二講第二講第二講:屬靈領袖與門徒造就屬靈領袖與門徒造就屬靈領袖與門徒造就屬靈領袖與門徒造就

每個文化有自己的領袖模式，這無疑會影響教會。

整體而言，中國的領袖模式受儒家背景的金字塔式關係影響。這五種傳統關係很容易被轉移到教會生活。

王/牧師（或教會領袖）與他/她的民眾；父母與子女；丈夫與妻子；哥哥/姊姊與弟弟/妹妹；朋友與朋友。

長者期待享有孝道式的尊重，服

從，和榮譽，但他/她也有義務去養

育，關懷，和照顧他/她的下屬。

傳統文化的領袖模式和門徒訓練固

然對教會很有益處，但我們也必須

按照聖經的教導來調整它們。

4

Mark 10.35-45

a) James’ and John’s request

(10.35-37): “do for us whatever

we ask” and “sit at your right

and … left in your glory”.

Jesus’ glory is his cross!

b) Jesus’ question (38-40): “Can

you drink …or be baptised”

The disciples’ confident “we

can” – indeed they hungered for

such glory! But again they

misunderstood Jesus’ meaning. c) The other disciples’ reaction

(41): jealousy and rivalry for positions of honour.

d) Jesus’ teaching on true leadership (42-45): not authority, but becoming a servant; leadership = “slave of all”. Jesus himself came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. He suffered as a ransom in our place.

Our aim is to serve and to give, not to be honoured or to receive. Like Jesus we are willing to suffer for the salvation of our people. Jesus, and our aim is for “many” – not just Israel, but also the Gentiles, not just our fellow Chinese, but all peoples.

馬可 10.35-45 a) 雅各和約翰的要求(10.35-37): 「我們無論求什麼，願你給我們作」；「願我們在你的榮耀裡，一個坐在你右邊，一個坐在你左邊。」

耶穌的榮耀是他的十字架！ b) 耶穌的問題(38-40): 「我所喝的杯，你們能喝嗎？我所受的洗，你們能受嗎？」門徒很自信：「我們能。」的確他們渴望這樣的榮耀！但他們再次誤解耶穌。

c) 其他門徒的反應(41): 嫉妒﹑爭奪榮耀的地位

d) 耶穌關於真正領袖的教導(42-45): 不

是權威，而是成為奴僕；領袖=「眾

人的僕人」。耶穌自己成為奴僕，

為救贖眾人而犧牲自己。他代替我

們成為贖罪祭。

我們的目標是服侍與給予，而不是得榮

耀與獲取。像耶穌一樣，我們應當願意

為眾人的救贖而犧牲自己。我們的目標

是為「眾人」- 不單是以色列，更加是

外邦人，不只是華人，而是所有人。

John 13.1-16

Jesus’ teaching in Mark 10 is

worked out in the washing of the

feet in John 13.

Jesus is King of kings, the Lord and

Messiah. He came from glory with

his Father and he will return to his

Father’s glory. But he takes the

position of a slave; fetches a bowl of

water and a towel; strips off his

outer clothing; takes the role of a

slave and washes their feet (feet are

so dishonourable!).

Such humility! Such a spirit of

service and self-giving!

約翰福音 13.1-16

耶穌在馬可福音 10 章中的教導體現于

約翰福音 13 章中他為門徒的洗腳。

耶穌是萬王之王，是主和彌賽亞。他來

自父的榮耀中，要回到父的榮耀中。但

他採納了奴僕的位置；拿來一盆水和毛

巾；解開他的外衣；以奴僕的身份洗門

徒的腳（腳是多麼的不光彩！）

如此的謙卑！如此服侍和付出的精神！

5

The disciples don’t find it easy to receive his service (6-8). Did they expect Jesus to maintain a proper position of dignity and authority? How will the members of our churches react if our leaders follow Jesus’ model of humble self-giving service? Can a Roman Catholic or Anglican archbishop follow Jesus’ pattern of leadership? Can our pastors behave like Jesus? Will that be accepted?

門徒很難接受這種服務(6-8). 他們是不是期待耶穌保持當有的尊貴和權威的地位？ 如果我們的領袖能像耶穌那樣卑微並倒空自己地服侍，教會的會眾將如何反應？一個天主教或英國國教的大主教效仿耶穌的領袖模式嗎？我們的牧師能像耶穌那樣行動嗎？會眾會接納嗎？

Talk 3: Sanctification and

Growth in the Christian life

We cannot remain static in the Christian

life – we either grow in Christ or we

gradually become cold in our faith and

backslide (as in the Book of Hebrews).

In the Gospels we notice people coming

ever closer to Jesus or moving away

from him. As Christians we are to

become more and more like Jesus,

looking forward to the final day when

we shall be perfectly like him in glory.

Likewise we are to grow closer and

closer in our relationship of love with

him, looking forward to the great day

when we shall be fully one with him in

perfect love.

And we are to grow in holiness,

becoming more and more like Jesus in

his love, relationships, moral purity,

ambitions and purpose in life.

第三講第三講第三講第三講: 成聖與基督徒生命的成長成聖與基督徒生命的成長成聖與基督徒生命的成長成聖與基督徒生命的成長

基督徒的生命不能停滯不前 – 我們要

麼在基督裡成長，要麼我們的信仰會

冷卻和倒退（正如希伯來書所言）。

在福音書中我們觀察到：人們要麼更

靠近耶穌，要麼遠離他。作為基督

徒，我們應當變得越來越像耶穌，期

待在將來榮耀中完全像他。同樣，在

與耶穌愛的關係上，我們應當越來越

靠近他，期待在將來的榮耀中與他在

愛中全然合一。

我們當在聖潔上成長，在他的愛中，

關係上，道德純潔上，生活的動力和

目標上，變得越來越像耶穌。

1 Peter 2.2

Babies are beautiful and we all admire

them. But 20-year-old babies are a

tragedy!

We are called to grow in our salvation,

all that God in Christ by his Spirit has

done for us.

The basis for our growth is that we

have “tasted that the Lord is good” (2.3)

彼得前書 2.2

嬰孩是美麗的，我們都欣賞他們。但

一個 20 歲的嬰兒則是悲劇！

我們被呼召要在救恩上成長——神在

基督中透過聖靈為我們所成就一切。

我們成長的基礎是我們已經「嘗過主

恩的滋味」(2.3)。

6

The context is right relationships with other people – no deceit, hypocrisy, envy, slander. Our growth in Christ is within the fellowship of the church (2.5) so that together with our sisters and brothers we may offer true “spiritual sacrifices” Ephesians 4.14 Immature Christians can be ensnared by “every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men”. Our need for truth and love – the working of the Holy Spirit Growth should be into deepening relationship with Jesus - he is the head of the body and also our head Each member of the body does his/her work within the fellowship of the church. And we grow in love, “supporting” one another. Our aim is “that the body of Christ be built up” and we attain “unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God” John 20.21

Our service of the Lord is to be just like

Jesus’ – “Just as the Father has sent me”.

How did the Father send Jesus? In

humble service in the form of a servant;

to identify with his surrounding culture,

but without sin; to bring salvation to the

world (not just his own Jewish people);

to teach and encourage his disciples;

Jesus was sent to show people God’s love.

Jesus gave the troubled disciples a

greeting of peace. He showed them his

hands and side to demonstrate the truth

and reality of his life-giving resurrection.

He gave them the Holy Spirit 20.22) and

the power to forgive people’s sins – what

a ministry to be able to minister Jesus’

gift of cleansing from all sin!

背景是與他人的正確關係 – 沒有虛

假，偽善，嫉妒，譭謗。

我們在基督裡的成長是在教會中

(2.5)，以便與弟兄姐妹一起獻上真正

「屬靈的祭」。

以弗所書 4.14 不成熟的基督徒容易中「人的詭計和欺騙的法術」。 我們對真理與愛的需求 – 聖靈的工作 成長是加深與耶穌的關係 – 他是身體的頭，也是我們的頭。 在教會中，每個肢體做他 /她的工作。我們在愛中成長，「彼此相助」。 我們目標是「建立基督的身體，直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認知神的兒子」。

約翰福音 20.21

我對主的服侍是變得像耶穌 – 正如

「父怎樣差遣了我。」

父如何差遣耶穌？以奴僕的樣式謙

卑服侍；使自己等同於他的周圍文

化，但沒有罪；將救贖帶給世界

（不只是他自己的猶太民族）；教

導和鼓勵他的門徒；父差遣耶穌去

向世人展現上帝的愛。

耶穌給予焦慮的門徒平安的問候。

他讓他們看自己的手和肋旁，以展

現他復活的真理與現實。他賜給他

們聖靈(20.22)和赦罪的權柄 – 耶穌

洗淨眾罪是何等的事工！

PRAYER LETTER代禱信代禱信代禱信代禱信 Judy Ho 何詠君 14/7/2014

time flies when you are having fun right?! seriously!! couldn't believe 3mths has flown by already!! so my time in india ended couple of days ago when I took the midnight flight via malaysia back to hk. i had mixed feelings for my departure. on the one hand, i didnt want to say goodbye to the country i learnt to love; a place with fascinating culture and tradition; and, with some of the most hospitable people ive ever met. but on the other hand, i was beyond ready for a more settling environment, not having to be on high alert every waking moment of my time; and seriously, my clothes needed to be washed properly by a washing machine, because no matter how long i soaked them or how hard i scrubbed them, they still smell of sweat!! >.<

快樂的時光總是過得很快，你認同嗎？！ 說真的，我簡直不敢相信已經過了三個月！我數天前乘坐了經馬來西亞回香港的午夜航班，結束了我在印度的旅程。對於這次旅程的結束，我的心情感到百感交集。一方面， 我不想離開我開始喜歡的國家— 一個充滿了迷人的文化和傳統、並有著一些我遇過最熱情好客的居民的地方。 另一方面，我已準備好到一個更穩定的環境，不必每時每刻提高警覺。更重要的，我的衣服需要用洗衣機徹底洗淨，因為無論我用多長的時間去浸泡或洗刷它們，它們仍然充滿汗味！>.<

so as i mentioned on my last news update, i had the opportunity to travel down to south india for the remaining time i had as the majority of the projects the ngo- pici, involved in are based there. i have to say the time i spent in the south felt more like a time spent in a completely different country. no doubt this experience was eye opening and has given me a slight insight on how vast this country is and how different the north is to the south.

正如我上次所提及的，我所參與的大部分活動都在南印度舉行，所以我有機會在剩餘的時間去到那邊。 我不得不說的是，我在南印度的時候感到彷如身處在一個完全不同的國家。 毫無疑問地，這是一個令我大開眼界的經驗，亦讓我稍為認識到這個國家是多麼的遼闊，以及北部如何與南部不同。

in addition to being blessed with this new

insight, He has also blessed me greatly

by first forcing me out of my comfort

zone. as many of you already know how

much i dis l ike preaching, and so

上帝除了用這個新的亮光祝福了我，衪還透過迫使我離開我的安樂窩來大大祝福了我。 你們許多人知道我是多麼不喜歡講道，但是我卻

8

preaching i was told to do. basically the only instruction i was given was, "you are preaching in my church next sunday (6days away), a 45mins sermon." i didn't have the time i need to prepare (ie. 6mths would be ideal!); i had no idea what the congregation was like; i had no resources (apart from my niv and a 2g phone network); and no clue what it should be on. but as always, He had my back covered. He showed me once again, everything is possible through Him. ptl!

被吩咐去講道。基本上我得到的唯一指示就是：「你下星期日要在我教會講道（6 天之後），講道時間是 45分鐘。」 我沒有足夠的時間準備（最理想是有六個月的時間！）; 我根本不知道那教會是怎樣的; 我也沒有資源（除了我的 NIV 聖經和一個2G網絡的手電）; 我也沒有頭緒要說什麼內容。 但一如既往，衪在我背後補足。 衪再次讓我看見，通過衪，一切皆有可能。感謝上帝！

"so what now?" i hear you ask. i wish i

can tell you im taking things easy after

the intense 3mths. but instead, im busy

busy catching up on the online course

which i signed up 4wks ago. it is a class

offered by the Jesus school i attended,

on the subject of, "ministry to sexually

exploited and trafficked children." my

experience in thailand last dec really

impacted me greatly and i felt i need to

equip myself in this area, which means

returning to school. and in couple of

weeks time, il also b taking another

class on, "social advocacy" at the Jesus

school campus. so, il b spending a

month in the states departing on the

26th july. not only will i b attending the

two classes, il also take this opportunity

to meet up with the director of pici. it

will be a time for us to discuss my role

in the org and how we can work

together to implement their vision and

to extend His Kingdom. il also be

attending my very good friend's

wedding, and to catch up with friends

in the west coast. after this trip, il b

returning to india for the duration of my

visa, which is until oct 15th.

我知道現在你一定想問我:「那麼現在怎樣？」 在這密集的三個月之後，我盼望自己可以告訴你我已能輕鬆面對事情。可是事實並不是這樣，我仍在非常忙碌地追趕著四星期前參加的網上課程。這課程是由我以往讀的 Jesus School 提供的，內容是關於「對被性剝削和被拐賣兒童的事工」的課題。 我去年十二月在泰國的經歷對我的影響真的很大，我覺得我需要在這個領域裝備自己，這意味著我需要返回學校。 而在數個星期後，我也會在 Jesus School 校舍參加另一個有關「社會呼聲」的課程。 所以，我會在 7 月 26 日出發及花一個月在美國學習。 我不單會參加這兩個課程，同時我也會利用這個機會，與 PICI 的董事見面，討論我在他們組織的角色與及我們應如何一起實現他們的願景，並延伸上帝的國度。我也會參加我好朋友的婚禮，並與我在美國西岸的朋友分享近況。 這次旅行之後，我便會回到印度直到我的簽證期限 10月 15 日那天。

well, this is all my bross and sisss. please continue to remember me in ur thoughts and prayers as i need extra wisdom for the classes and also extra energy for the coming month. God bless.

弟兄姊妹，這就是我的近況。請你們繼續記念我及為我禱告，因為我需要額外的智慧來參加課程，也需要額外的能量來面對下一個月的事情。願上帝賜福!

cynical (20 jun) i had the most frustrating conversation, almost turn-ed into an argument type of conversation with a friend about taxi drivers here in india couple of days ago.

悲觀和不信任悲觀和不信任悲觀和不信任悲觀和不信任((((6 月月月月 20

日日日日)

前幾天我與朋友有一段令人沮喪的關於印度的士司機的對話，我們幾乎吵起架來。

so i would generally avoid traveling in cabs here in india because i have heard way too many unpleasant stories of how people had been cheated n ive seen it happened with my own eyes too. but my friend, a local indian guy from calcutta didn't think that any taxi driver actually cheats or that only 1% of them do. even though ive never been in a cab here in india by myself, i disagreed with him whole heartedly.

在印度的時候，我一般會避免使用出租車，因為我聽說過太多坐出租車不愉快的故事，別人怎樣被人騙錢等，而我也親眼看見過。 但我在加爾各答的本地印度朋友並不覺得任何出租車司機會騙錢，頂多只有 1％的人會 這樣做。 儘管我從未試過在印度一個人坐出租車，但我完全不同意他的講法。

so today i had to take a cab to the airport alone. i was a little worried, to the point i actually prayed for this journey, which i don't have a habit of doing.

所以今天當我不得不獨自坐出租車去機場時，我是有一點兒擔心，甚至到我整個過程都在祈禱，而這是我從沒有的習慣。

but God is good! He sent me a nice cab

drive who asked if i was ready before

we leave for the airport, moved aside to

the slow lane when he saw a flashing

police vehicle in the rear mirror far

away (this doesn't happen in india!), n

when he found out that i gave him

20rps tips he had a big smile on his face

and thanked me.

但上帝是好的！衪差派給我一個很好的出租車司機，他在開車送我到機場前問我是否準備好出發，當他從後視鏡看到一輛閃著燈的警車還在遠處時，他便把車移動到慢駛車道（這是不會在印度發生的！）而當他發現我給了他 20 盧比貼士時，他臉上露出燦爛的笑容及對我說多謝。

i know God is using this to tell me that i

need to stop being so cynical and that

there r nice cab drivers around. in fact i

can't stereotype them just because ive

heard stories or seen it happened or

have even expedienced it before.

because not everyone are the same n

there are kind hearted people around.

我知道上帝是透過這次的經驗來告訴我，我需要停止這樣的悲觀和不信任，也告訴我這兒仍有一些友善的出租車司機。 其實我亦不可以只因為曾聽過甚至看過他們的故事而對他們有偏見，因為並不是每個人都是一樣，這裡仍有善良的人。

thank you Jesus. 謝謝你，耶穌。

incident (23june)

like most people, i do

have a habit of nodding

off on bus n car rides. n

yes, it is a dangerous

place to fall asleep on

especially in india.

so i went with my new friend- coline, to a place that's 2hrs bus ride away. on the way back, we decided to sit separately as we both wanted window seats.

意外意外意外意外((((六月二十三日六月二十三日六月二十三日六月二十三日))))

像大多數人一樣，我也有在巴士和車上打瞌睡的習慣。而的確，那裡是一個危險的睡著的地方，特別是在印度。

我跟我的新朋友 Coline

坐巴士去一個需 2小時車程的地方。 在回來的路上，我們決定分開坐，因為我們都想要坐在靠窗的座位。

About 15mins into the journey, a man sat on my bench which is a wide three seater. he was sitting on the aisle seat on the left. but because the sun was shining into... the bus, i moved from the right to sit between the middle n the right hand side seats.

約 15 分鐘後，一個男人坐在我的長椅上(一個寬闊的三座位)。 他本來坐在左邊靠通道的座位上。 但由於陽光照射巴士，我從我的座位向右移動到中間及在右手邊的座位。

im not dumb. i was well aware that there

is a risk sitting with a man on the same

bench n on a bus too. n i tried my best to

stay awake but the heat of the day n the

breeze from the ride totally sent my

already exhausted body n mind to a dose.

n my alertness gone with the wind.

我不是糊塗的。我非常清楚與一個男人同坐一張巴士上的長椅的風險。而我也盡我所能保持清醒，但當天的熱度和外面吹來的微風令我十分疲倦的身體和精神開始不能再保持清醒。我的警覺也隨風而逝。

a few seconds, it was only a few seconds

n that was all it takes.... 幾秒鐘後，也就只有幾秒鐘的時間而這也是僅需的時間....

all of a sudden i felt a hand brushed pass

my left thigh. instantly i opened up my

eyes n looked to my left. the guy is

asleep too then what could that be? i

fixed my stare to the guy for a gd few

seconds n bingo! he had his eyes slightly

opened n our eyes met. IT WAS

YOU!!!!!!! GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!

我突然感到有一隻手刷過我的左大腿。 瞬間地，我打開了我的眼睛看著我的左邊。這個傢夥也是睡著了，那麼那會是什麼？ 我固定地盯著那傢夥幾秒鐘而果然如此﹗他的眼睛微微睜開，我們的目光相遇了。 那是你了!!!!!! 罪名成立!!!!

11

nothing I could do now, as i didn't catch

him in the act, but judy, stay awake n

fully alert for the rest of the journey

please!!!

我現在無能為力，因為我沒有在他有所行動時把他抓著，但 Judy，請妳在旅程中其餘的時間保持清醒！

thank you for praying

peeps! the message i

delivered last sunday

went well. in fact, i

actually enjoyed it very

much as the small

congregation was very

responsive.

謝謝你們的禱告！我上星期日的講道進行得很好。事實上，我亦十分享受那段時間，因為那些人數不多的會眾都十分有反應。

funny/embarrassing moment- at

the start of the message, i greeted

them (as u do) but they were a little

reserved n didn't make much noise.

so i asked them if they didn't have

any breakfast and that they are

hungry n have no energy. some

replied, n the translator actually

looked at me n said, 'actually they

are hungry. these r very poor people,

their stomachs are rarely full."

搞笑或尷尬的時刻搞笑或尷尬的時刻搞笑或尷尬的時刻搞笑或尷尬的時刻:::: 在講道開始的時

間，我向他們問安（就像你們所做的一

樣），但他們都有點保留，並沒有太大

的回應。 所以我問他們是否因沒有吃

早餐而感到飢餓及沒有能量。 有些人

回答，而翻譯的人看著我說︰「其實他

們是餓了。 這些都是非常貧窮的人，

他們的肚子是很少會滿的。」

so one thing ive learnt from this

experience is that not only u need to

know ur congregation but also

understanding their living condition

n environment.

從這個經驗我學到一件事，那就是你不

單要認識你的會眾，更要瞭解他們居住

的狀況和環境。

blessed 4 days (28jun) ive been up on the hill station by myself last few days. before i arrived, i thought i was only going to be here for couple of nights n i was only here for some cooler weather. this thought remained the same, or even stronger after i checked into my £5/night hostel room. With a squatty potty without a flush, no sink in the bath room (nor in the room), no hot water n yellow freezing water with black bits running from the tap. i was pretty certain that id leave after couple of nights.

祝福的四天祝福的四天祝福的四天祝福的四天((((六月二十八日六月二十八日六月二十八日六月二十八日))))

在最後的幾天，我一直自個兒在山上的站內。 在我來之前，我以為我只會在這裡呆幾個晚上，而原因只是這裡有較涼的天氣。這種想法一直保持不變，甚至在我住進了我那 5 英鎊一晚的宿舍房間後更強。尤其當我發現房間內那沒有沖水的蹲廁、廁所內也沒有洗手盆(房間內也沒有)，再加上沒有熱水，而水龍頭的水更是帶有黑色物體的黃色的冰水，我更肯定我在幾天後一定會離開。

12

but i was wrong. after the non disrupted

10hrs of sleep in the first night, i realised

the 3months of travelling n the unbearable

summer heat is finally catching up on me. i

was beyond exhausted.

但是我錯了。經過第一個晚上 10小時沒有中斷的睡眠後，我意識到這三個月的行程和難以忍受的酷暑終於戰勝了我。我真的十分疲倦。

so last few days ive been sitting in front of

a man-made lake watching the local

tourists paddling on the mickey mouse

paddle boats, reading, praying, reflecting,

catching up on my emails n enjoying the

19°c weather. im looking forward to

another night of non disrupted 10hrs of

sleep under 2heavy blankets in my warm

sleeping bag, before im due to leave for the

40°c heat down in the chaotic city again

tomorrow.

所以在前幾天我一直坐在一個人造湖前看本地遊客划著那些米奇老鼠槳船，閱讀、祈禱、反思、追看我的電子郵件和享受那 19°C 的天氣。我十分期待在我明天離開再到一個40°C 混亂的城市的前一個晚上能夠在我溫暖的睡袋裡及在兩個很重的毛毯下，再一次有 10小時沒有中斷的睡眠。

thank you Jesus for this time where i can

chill, do nothing n get closer to You. n to

be able to fully relax on the little empty

balcony You provided in the boat house.

thank you!

感謝耶穌，因為這段時間我可以放鬆，什麼也不做和更接近袮。更能完全在袮提供的船屋和在小陽臺上放鬆。 謝謝！

differences between the

north n the south (13jul)

the feeling of being in

south india is strange.

although the people still

look the same n the

traffic is just as chaotic,

everything else is

different.

first there is the language.

they say hindi is india's

national language, well

not many people speak

hindi in the state of tamil

nadu. a tamil i met told

me that when he travels

to the north, he uses

english to communicate

to his own countrymen.

南部與北部的分南部與北部的分南部與北部的分南部與北部的分

別別別別((((七月十三日七月十三日七月十三日七月十三日))))

在南印度的感覺是怪怪的。雖然人們看起來是一樣和交通仍是很混亂，所有的一切卻是不同。 首先是語言。 他們說印地語是印度的官方語言，但其實沒有多少人在泰米爾納德邦說印地語。一個我遇見的泰米爾告訴我，當他旅遊到北部時，他要用英語與他自己的同胞溝通。

then there's the religion. ive been told that

70-80% of the population in the state of

kerala are christian because christianity

actually arrived to india way earlier than

many other european counties- thanks to

thomas the apostle. in fact, the people

actually call this place 'God's own country'!

food here in the south is vastly different

too. the dishes dosa n idly you won't easily

find in the north. pretty much everything is

cooked with coconut oil. beef is widely

available n they even serve duck too!

the buildings here are also different. ive

seen so many european style churches n

buildings here its unbelievable! some are

alot grander than the ones back home!!

as i said, although the people look the

same, i found people in the south alot laid

back. when i was at the calcutta airport, as

soon as i walked out, the taxi drivers will

stick to u like a piece of chewing gum. but

here, as soon as u said no, they will walk

away, one even pointed me to the direction

of the train station when i told him im

getting the train coz its alot cheaper.

this country is strange. very strange.

其次是宗教。感謝使徒多馬，我被告知在喀拉拉邦州的人口中有 70-80％是基督徒，因為基督教到達印度早於其他許多歐洲國家。 事實上，他們叫這個地方「上帝的國家」！

在這裡的食品也是千差萬別。其中一個菜 Dosa 你不會輕易在北方找到，幾乎一切都是用椰子油來煮，而牛肉也是廣泛地被供應，他們甚至供應鴨子呢！

這裡的建築也不同。我在這裡看到很多令人難以置信的歐洲風格教堂建築！有些甚至比英國的更宏偉！

正如我所講的，雖然人看起來是一樣，我發現南方人較悠閒。當我在加爾各答機場走出來，出租車司機便會像一塊口香糖跟著你。但在這裡，只要你說不要出租車司機，他們便會離開，當我告訴他們我會坐火車因為那較便宜，有位司機甚至指給我去火車站的方向。

這個國家很奇怪，真的很奇怪。
