巴布亚新几内亚主日聚会报告 Report on the Lord’s Day Meeting in PNG

主日聚会蒙恩报告

        莫尔斯比港召會于二零一六年十月二號主日聚會參加人數共有33個人，有来自马来西亚、中国大陆、澳洲、台湾以及当地的聖徒。感謝主，見證我們實在是ㄧ個身體，不管我们来自哪里，什么肤色，在基督里我们都是一。聖徒能在同一的靈裡，唱詩、禱告、讚美。

      主日早上的聚集多以讀經追求為主，我們逐章逐節的以中英文進入聖經- 使徒行傳。弟兄鳥瞰完23章，讓弟兄姊妹自由申言，最後再以小組的方式進行分享。

      為得著更多的年輕人在召會中受成全，被裝備，我們看重並加強對青少年的服事，每週六有青少年的聚集，並在這週主日有詩歌展覽:七位青少年展览诗歌-‘seek ye first’，其中三位吉他伴奏；另有三位青少年主动率先申言，实在是众圣徒的榜樣。一位青年姊妹Alice對主實在有心，但她交通不知道如何讀懂神的話，時常是不能明白。弟兄說我們需要藉著禱告進入主的話。像李弟兄剛得救時，就非常愛主，愛讀聖經，並想要認識其中的真理，他甚至是跪著禱告並讀主的話，從他ㄧ九二五年得救，到他八十歲，他是天天勤讀聖經，主也ㄧ點ㄧ點的將祂的話向弟兄解開。我们实在需要好好的被主話構成，不是仅仅有常时、客观的说话，也需要祂及时，活的说话，好保守我们一路往前，在各种境遇里能向保罗弟兄一样站立得住，为主作见证。

      會後的愛宴交通使聖徒能在工作之餘，彼此交通自己的近况，使聖徒有更多聯結，並帶進配搭與建造。

求主繼續記念這些福音朋友和弟兄姊妹們，也激動我們與主配合，堅定持續的為人禱告，喂養人，使福音朋友早日受浸，久不聚會的弟兄姊妹能穩定聚會，這一切都是為著召會的建造，為著基督身體的擴增，求主成全祂自己的心意。

There were 33 people who joined the Lord’s Day meeting in the Church of Port Moresby in October 2, 2016. With the saints from Malaysia, mainland China, Australia, Taiwan and PNG. Thank the Lord, witnessing that we are one body, no matter where we come from, what color skin we have, in Christ, we are one. The saints can sing, pray, and praise in one spirit.

On the Lord’s Day morning, the gathering is mostly based on the pursuit of the Bible. We enter into the Bible in both Chinese and English chapter by chapter, section by section. After the Brothers sum up for Acts 23, the saints can prophesy freely, and share in small groups.

In order to let more young people to be perfected and equipped in the church we value and strengthen the service to the young people, there is young people’s meeting every Saturday. And a exhibition on this Lord’s Day: seven young people stood up and sang the hymn ‘seek ye first ‘, with three teens playing guitar to accompany ; and three teenagers even took the initiative to speak in the meeting, they are truly the pattern of the saints. Especially one young sister, Alice, who has a seeking heart to the Lord, but she did not know how to read the Word of God. And Brother said that we need to enter into the Lord’s Word by prayer. Like Brother Lee, when he was saved, he loved the Lord and loved to read the Bible and wanted to know the truth. To a extent, he even knelt down to pray and read the Bible. He got saved in 1925, and had been reading the Scriptures every day, and the Lord has unresolved His Word to this brother little by little. I was touched that we really need to be constituted by the Word of God, not only have a regular, objective words, but also need his timely, living words, so we can keep all the way forward, in all kinds of situations can stand like brother Paul,  to testify for the Lord.

After the meeting, the love feast give an opportunity to the saints  to have fellowship, each other can know the recent situation of each other, so that the saints can be connected, even to coordinate for the building up.

May the Lord continue to remember those gospel friends and the saints, and motivate us to cooperate with the Lord to have interceding prayer for the saints steadfastly, to shepherd the new ones. So that the gospel friends can be baptized soon. The dormant saints can be recovered. For the building up of the church, for the expansion of the body of Christ, may the Lord fulfilled his heart desire.
