親愛的弟兄姊妹平安:
英國首相文翠珊辭職了, 在這脫歐的沼澤中, 竟有10人爭逐相位, 真是佩服他們的勇氣。這是最好的時候, 還是最壞的時候?
這個星期, 雨下不停, 多關心了香港修訂「逃犯條例」。6月9日的103萬市民上街要求撤回修訂, 6月12日立法會外的民眾示威抗議, 引發了流血事件, 70多人受傷。警方在記者招待會報告用了150枚催淚彈, 20個布袋彈, 和數發橡膠子彈! 直到提筆此刻, 政府仍強調不延期也不撤回修訂條例。立法會會議雖然受阻, 但仍計劃恢復「二讀」程序, 香港在水深火熱的危機中, 可以怎樣有轉機呢? 你願意為香港禱告嗎?
上主日的崇拜經文中, 最觸動我的是:「看哪, 往北方去的, 已在北方安慰我的心。」(亞6:8) 四輛馬車, 各負使命, 奔馳四方, 各能盡忠職守, 跑在當跑的路, 打上當打的仗, 守著當信的道, 是的, 就在那裡, 安慰了主的心。
在神的手中, 最壞的時候, 也是最好的時候。
祝君安好!
主內

15th June, 2019
Dear brothers and sisters,
Theresa May, Prime Minister of Britain, has resigned. 10 candidates are running for the top job despite the Brexit chaos. I really admire their courage. Is this the best of the times or the worst?
It has rained for the whole week. I am more concerned about the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance Amendment Bill of Hong Kong. 1.03 million people joined in the march to request the withdrawal of the amendment on June 9. On June 12, people protested outside the Legislative Council and led to bloodshed, more than 70 people wounded. In the press conference, the police reported that they have used 150 tear bombs, 20 beanbag shots and several rounds of rubber bullets! The government still emphasizes that they won’t withdraw the bill. Though the Legislative Council meeting was hindered, they plan to resume the second reading. Hong Kong is in a deep crisis, is there a way to turn around? Could you pray for Hong Kong?
In the last Sunday Service, a verse deeply touched my heart: ‘Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.’ (Zec6:8) Each of the four chariots has their own mission, they ran through the land to fulfil their tasks, running a good race, fighting a good fight and keeping the faith. Yes, it has quieted the Lord’s spirit there.
In His hand, the worst of the times is also the best of the times!
Wishing you well.
In Him,
Sam Wong
*8:30am 16/9 The Hong Kong government has just made an announcement to postpone the Amendment Bill. Please continue to pray for HK.
