Fødselsdagsfeiring
Friday, 20 August 2010
Faste og bønn
I vår menighet her i Hong Kong – Amazing Grace Lutheran Church har vi nå startet vår førti dagers faste og bønneperiode fram mot vår Menighets fødselsdag som skal feires 26 September – vi er da 53 år gamle.
Hvordan menigheten faster er opp til den enkelte. De fleste kutter ut et måltid dagelig eller ukentlig eller noen dager i uke og bruker tiden til å be.
Noen kutter ut et TV program de er spesielt glad i – og bruker den tiden istedet – ikke alle for eksempel folk med sukkersyke – kan faste.
Jeg har bestemt meg for å kutte ut et måltid hver dag. (Kanskje kan jeg bli litt tynnerer rundt midjen også? Ikke noe galt forsøke å slå to fluer en smekk.)
Men jeg er nå sulten – lunsh tid er over meg. Dette er faktisk et offer J
Ellers var jeg på et noe spesielt evangeliseringmøte i går kveld. Det ble arrangert av noen som kaller seg CBMC Interntional. (Connecting Business and Marketplace w. Christ.)
Evangeliseringsmøtet var i en stor restaurant – et stenkast fra kirken på universitetsområdet ved siden av oss.
Møtet begynte med noe korte taler – forsatte med god middag. (Mange retter.) En gammel venn hadde invitert oss og betalt for alle som satt på hennes bord. (Bord i en kinesisk sammenheng har altid 12 plasser – så hun hadde nok måtte betale mellom HKD 1000 og HKD 2000 for vårt bord.
Paralelt med middagen fortalte noen kjente forettningsfolk sine kristne vitnesbyrd. Flotte vitnesbyrd var det også. Ei dame på ca 60 år bestemte seg for å bli kristen og siden hun satt på vårt bord ba vi henne like godt til cellegruppa vår som vi skal ha i kveld.

Invielse av nye menighetslokaler på Taohualun - Yiyang Hunan Kina
Gode nyheter – den 15/8 vil den nye kirken ved Taohualun innvies og taes i bruk.
Jeg har skrevet et gratulasjonsbrev til de sitert under.
Det vil bli oversatt og lest opp i kirken ved Taohualun – søndag 15/8 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Taohualun Congregation and Christians in Yiyang aria
Hong Kong Saturday the 7th of August 2010
A few days ago news about the Taohualun Church reached me. Through Gods grace and hard work by many in Yiyang and Hunan you are able to move into the new church building. Your restoration service will be held on the 15th of August this year.
This is indeed good news that must make you exceedingly joyful – I know it makes many people in Norway, The Norwegian Missionary Society including myself very joyful too. God has answered our prayers.
The “road” towards this new place of worship has been long and hard with many challenges, but you have overcome them all and on the 15th of August this year God will crown your efforts with glory!
May God keep on blessing the people in The Taohualun Church and Yiyang city in the future and may the new church serve as an inspiration for the Christians in Yiyang to keep on fulfilling the Great commission in the gospel of Matthew 28:18-20.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, «All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Yours in Christ
