在神的保守中，我們今天順利到達大衛城，一個平靜，舒適的城市．晚上，在教會有信徒祈禱會，有許多弟兄姊妹參加．我們和弟兄姊妹各自互相介紹，彼此認識． Simon弟兄兩年前探訪大衛城的情形，大家還記憶尤新，大家互道姓名，熱烈握手歡迎．這種親切的感情令我們十分感動．
我們簡短地與他們分享了研續約翰福音一章十八節的心得，鼓勵他們透過學習約翰福音更深刻地了解耶穌基督是神的兒子，是我們生命中的真光，凡信祂的，就得到權柄作神的兒女，透過認識神和主耶穌基督得到永生．短短十幾分鐘的分享，他們睜大了眼睛細心聆聽，從他們渴慕的眼神中可以看到他們是何等的饑渴，他們努力讀聖經，卻不明白．他們缺乏研經工具，缺乏教師，吳蘊賢要兼顧大衛城，牛口省，山上，山下一眾信徒的探訪，牧養，教導，講道，傳福音及教會一概的行政工作，相當吃力，很難提供更進一步的教導．
By the grace and protection of our God, we arrived David City safely. A quiet and comfortable city. At night, we have prayer meeting. Many brothers and sisters came. We each introduced ourselves and get to know each other. Brothers and sisters welcome us sincerely and ernestly, especially with brother Simon as he was here about two years ago. We were really touched by their warm welcome.
We briefly shared with them our insights on John 1:18, encouraged them to get to know Christ Jesus, the son of God, at a deeper level through careful study of the Gospel of John. Jesus Christ is the true light of our lives; whoever believes in him will be given the right to become children of God; through knowing God and our Lord Jesus Christ we have eternal life. IN this short sharing of a few minutes, their eyes and ears were widely opened. From their eagerness in their eyes we can tell how thirst they are of God's word. They study the bible hard, yet do not understand. They lack bible study tools and bible teachers. Pastor Lily Wu has heavy and tough work load. She has to minister, pastor, shepherd and teach brothers and sisters from Changuinola and David City, for both groups live on the mountain top and on the skirt of the mountain, in addition to giving sermons, visitation to those in need, and continuous spreading the gospel to many others. Given this workload, it is tremendously hard for her to further study the bible with brothers and sisters at a more advance level.
