巴拿馬短宣第二天：主，我在這裡，請差遣我

今天我們參加了巴京堂的差傳年會主日崇拜．正如我們昨天所望的，巴京堂的弟兄姊妹正在向差傳的路上邁進。今天的講員以列王記下六章廿五節至七章廿節的故事中所記載的那四個長大痲瘋的人的事跡，鼓勵我們要細心聆聽人們求告主的呼喊的聲音，將大好的信息傳出去，不可耽延。

感謝主！神真的叫我們看見我們宣教所支持的教會，已經成長了．我們見證許多的弟兄姊妹站起來回應神的呼召，願意投身為宣教擺上自己。

我們還看到他們第二代的年青人也在成長。今天的年會上，一群年青的弟兄姊妹表演了一套默劇，表達了他們對宣敎傳福音的意願。

Today we worship with brothers and sisters of Panama City church. Today is their annual mission conference. It is a joint worship of Chinese and Spanish speaking congregation. The speaker is Pastor David from Guatemala. He challenges brothers and sisters with message from 2 Kings chapter 6:25 - 7:20. With the story of the four leprous men. He encourages us to be sensitive to people's cry for help, and do not be satisfied with the blessings we are having from the God but go to tell others the good news.

God is good. We witness the power of the Holy Spirit moving over the congregation. Many people, especially their second generation, stand up and respond to God's calling to participate in mission. The church we the STM team visiting is now ready to send out their own missionaries. Praise the Lord.

The video clip is the mime presented by the youth, showing their vision of spreading the Gospel.

有關今天的經歷，師母有以下的分享：
Fenny has the following sharing regarding her experience seeing all this.

巴拿馬短宣第一天：平安抵埗

感謝神的保守, 和弟兄姊妹的禱告記念, 短宣隊經過長途跋涉, 終於平安到達巴拿馬，一切都十分順利。
我們在這裡受到吕偉青傳道的熱情款待，在他家安頓下來。這裡靠近赤道地方，氣候溫暖潮溼，充滿西班牙風情．將近午夜時分，附近的舞會的音樂聲還十分熱鬧。這裡和多倫多的氣氛很不同。對我們來說真是一個全新的經歷。
我們的心情既興奮又緊張，對整個行程充滿期望，但是我們都知道此行不是渡假，宣教是一場屬靈的爭戰，我們是萬萬怠慢不得的。
剛剛禱告的時候，Simon弟兄提到當年宣教士對中國的貢獻，令我們不禁將我們的行程和他們聯繫起來．雖然我們今天所做的，實不足他們所付出的十萬分之一，但我們相信他們的事跡和經歷是我們這次行程很好的鼓勵和激勵。
明天是巴京城教會的宣教主日，希望宣教的火炬也可以從這裡繼續燃燒下去，一代接一代，一程傳一程，讓福音傳遍天下。

After a long trip we finally arrive at Panama city sound and safe. Thanks to God's protection and all the prayers from you.

We are welcomed by Paster Wilson and settle in his home. The weather is warm and humid here and is more like Hong Kong. It feels so different here than in Toronto. It is a lovely place to visit.

However, we are to here for vacation. We are doing mission. We are all excited for the trips, meetings and visitations awaiting ahead. It is a spiritual warfare. We continusely need your support through prayer.

Tonight, during our daily prayer, Simon relates our mission experience with those missionaries in China a hundred years ago. Although we can never match with them, we believe such a connection helps us to see our trip in a very different way, and can help us to experience this trip more meaningfully.

Tomorrow we will join the worship with the church in Panama City. They are having their mission conference and tomorrow's message is about mission. How wonderful our God is! We mission team is joining the mission conference of a church in our mission field! Let the flame of mission continue to spread, spread to all over the world.

May God bless His own mission!
