【International Ministry / Yu-Ting Lin】“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4
【國際事工部/林鈺婷 翻譯】「當稱謝進入他的門;當讚美進入他的院。當感謝他,稱頌他的名!」詩篇一百篇四節
Being joyful when serving the Lord is the key reminder given by Brother Dylan Olding as the international ministry held its first volunteering training workshop on May 1, 2016.
During the workshop, participants discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the English Service, and brainstormed other opportunities for the ministry to grow. Topics covered from updating English ministry website, service structure and schedule, roles of small group leaders and service leaders, refocusing on the vision, to finding the gift that God has given to each Christian and serving the Lord with a joyful heart.
會中討論的主題包括英文堂從去年三月開始運作至今的優點及缺點,以及未來可以改善的項目。細部項目則包括更新英文堂網頁,聚會形式與流程,小組長及領會者的角色,國際事工部成立的異象,找到神所賜給每個人的恩賜,並以喜樂的心來事奉神。
“The strength of our ministry is that everyone can serve the Lord,” said Olding. “And we hope this will be the place for international Christians to worship; a community to belong to, to love and be loved.”
「國際事工部的優點在於人人皆可事奉,」Dylan弟兄表示。「我們希望這裡成為一個讓外國基督徒能敬拜、有歸屬感、能愛與被愛的地方。」
