A Report on the 2024 International Chinese-speaking Conference and Visitations
After six years, the International Chinese-speaking Conference was held on February 10 and 11. This special conference was graced by the presence of over 34,000 saints from 79 different countries. I was also fortunate to attend, and it was a truly gracious blessing from the Lord.
The subject was: “Fighting the good fight, finishing the Course, keeping the faith, and loving the Lord’s appearing in order to receive the reward of Christ as the crown of righteousness.”
The second message, entitled “Finishing the Course,” left a lasting impression on me. The brother spoke about how running the race is not like taking a leisurely stroll; rather, it is a sprint on the correct track, and we must run until the finish line. In doing so, there are two questions we must ask ourselves: first, are we running, and second, are we running in the right lane?
He also said, “The one who falls down and rises again is the best runner.” We should not give up, become weary, or faint in our soul but look away unto jesus and run the race set before us.
After the conference, we visited the full-time training center. The trainees gave us a tour of their living quarters and explained their daily routines, which were remarkably organized and neat. They also shared about the purpose and core components of the training program. We learned about the trainees’ propagation in various countries, and they concluded by saying that their goal is to be sent out to do the Lord’s work, which left a profound impact on me. It made me realize that I needed to undergo thorough training in life, truth, and character for the Lord’s interests on earth.
During our visit, we also went to the exhibition hall of the Lord’s recovery. Brother Chang Chih-cheng gave us a guided tour, showing us how the Lord’s recovery has progressed through generations and how the Bible has been translated and revised over time. Today, we have access to the complete truth, the unveiled Bible, all thanks to the painstaking efforts and labor of the saints who came before us. We should not merely possess the Bible and read the life-study of the Bible; instead, we should delve into these words and be constituted.
We visited several local churches to gain insights into the saints’ church life and listened to their testimonies. We observed that their church structures were very sound, and they closely followed the leader of the ministry. They also spared no effort in offering themselves up, setting an example for us all.
Through this visit, we experienced the reality of the Body of Christ and witnessed its richness. We experienced the flow of blood throughout the body, and it was truly sweet and wonderful. May the spirit of this special conference continue to inspire us to run with all our might, finish the race, and win the Lord as our reward.
2024年国际华语特会蒙恩及访问报导
时隔六年，国际华语特会于二月10号和11号如期举行，这次特会有34000多位的圣徒，来自79个不同的国家。我也有幸参加，实在是主的恩典。
特会主题是：打美好的仗，跑尽赛程，守住信仰，并爱主的显现，好得着基督作公义冠冕的赏赐。
印象深刻的是第二篇信息，篇题是跑尽当跑的赛程。弟兄讲到，跑尽赛程，就是说我们不是在散步，乃是奔跑，且要跑到正确的赛道上，还要跑尽这个赛程。那么，有两个问题要问我们自己，第一，我们是不是在奔跑？第二，我们是不是在正确的赛道上？
更是有句话，跌倒了再起来跑，是最好的。我们不必自暴自弃，疲倦灰心，乃要望断以及于耶稣，奔那摆在我们前头的赛程。
特会结束后，我们参观了全时间训练中心，学员们向我们介绍了他们的生活，参观了他们的宿舍整理，非常的规律和整洁。他们也介绍了训练的宗旨，训练的中心内容，看了学员们在各个国家的开展，及最后说到，训练的目标是要将他们打发出去，作主的工，实在是很有感触，觉得自己也需要在生命，真理和性格等方面好好的学习和预备，为着主在地上的权益。
这次的访问也去到了主恢复的展览馆，张志诚弟兄为我们讲解，看着主恢复一代又一代，圣经一版又一版，到今天，我们可以有这完全的真理，解开的圣经，都是前面圣徒们的心血与劳苦，我们不该只是有圣经，生命读经，而该好好的进入这些话，被主的话构成。
之后，我们也访问了几处的召会，了解了圣徒们的召会生活，听了他们的见证，看见那里的召会架构很健全，他们在紧紧跟随职事的带领，也为此竭力的摆上自己，实在是我们的榜样。
感谢主，借着相调，我们看见基督的身体，领略了基督身体的丰富，经历了身体上血液的流通，真是甜美，实在美好，盼望这次特会的灵能够一直的激动我们，一同竭力奔跑，跑尽赛程，得着主作我们的奖赏。
