東岸的巡迴結束 回家（再次回家...）

上星期我們一團人去了美國東岸巡迴
對我來說 超高興的
因為當初我是在東岸讀書的 所以對東岸很有感情
我們這次像是自助旅行一樣
幾乎天天都開車去一個新的城市
住新的旅館 去新的教會
彈不同的鍵盤（琴啦） 跟不同的弟兄姊妹一起敬拜

感謝主 祂在每個城市 賜下不同祝福與安慰
特別是在有一個城市 晚上event之前
我感覺到神會賜下合一 賜下和平
神會親自安慰祂的僕人
祂的僕人為主做的一切絕對不是白做的
然後我就超感動 一直哭
結果紅著眼睛上台 真不好意思=p

對於卑微的自己可以有機會去到許多 離自己的家很遠很遠的地方
與不同的弟兄姊妹一起敬拜
我覺得很光榮
神在tour 的第一天就告訴我
要我簡單的 單純的去愛祂服事祂
真的
當我們不要煩惱太多的去做
其實很多事情並沒有之前想得那麼複雜
我們有天父可以依靠
得勝乃在乎祂啊



然後因為天候與機場什麼什麼的的原因
我們在機場乾等了五個小時 再坐了五六小時的飛機
終於回到加州了
休息了一下
今天大家回到辦公室上班
從七月開始的 tour生活
暫時告一段落



p.s: video journal 6 幾分鐘前出爐了喔！

Love Overflow…

We have just completed our third event during this East Coast Tour. God has been so good to us by providing so many good hosts during this tour. Here is a little recap from last night’s event and tonight’s event.

Baltimore ~

After leaving Rockville, we arrived in Baltimore early Thursday afternoon. Our event was at one of the halls at Johns Hopkins University called Shriver Hall. Since the hall did not have in-house sound system, many volunteers had to bring all the sound equipment from their churches to the hall. Praise the Lord for providing us with so many wonderful and energetic young people to help us with set up. It was also really touching to see many different Chinese churches in Baltimore all came together and hosted this worship event. We all felt a great burden for Chinese churches in Baltimore and we hope we were able to bring some encouragements to the ones who attended the event.

Philadelphia ~

Similar to Asia Tour, we are constantly changing our residence during the tour. After just one night of staying in Baltimore, we left our hotel there and made our drive to Philadelphia. It was about lunch time when we arrived to Philly. Thanks to Wendy’s dear cousin, she took us to the world famous Jim’s Steaks at 4th and South St. for some delicious Philly Cheesesteak.

After a great lunch, we turned on our GPS system and were on our way to the venue. Unfortunately, our GPS system was not very familiar with the streets in Philly. We drove and drove and we actually got lost in the woods. The scenery was beautiful. We really enjoyed seeing so much green in the east coast, the houses all have their own styles as well. After many phone calls for help, we arrived safely at our venue. Once again, the Lord provided us great team to work with locally.

It was yet another great night of worship. Just like the Baltimore event, there was so much love flowing throughout the event. Praise God for bring so many people to the event. There were many that received Christ for the first time, and I am sure God had also placed seeds in those who did not make the commitment but were in attendance tonight.

Tomorrow we are off to New York! Time to worship the Big Apple Style!

On the Road Again!

Exactly one week after getting back to L.A. from the month-long Asia Tour, we are quickly on the road again! Just when I thought I have completed my jetlag adjustment, here comes more jetlag due to time zone changes. Praise God, we arrived safely to the Washington D.C. area yesterday. The city we are currently in is called Rockville. It is about 40 minutes from the White House! =)

We just came back from our first of five events in the East Coast. God was definitely stretching us tonight. There’s always the first time for everything; however, tonight happened to have many “first times” for many people. Here is a quick run down for our many first times…

First time working on sound on tour!
First time leading worship on tour!
First time playing first keyboard on tour!
First time playing guitar on tour!
First time making salvation calling on tour!
First time leading salvation prayer in Chinese!

Praise God for a wonderful event tonight… it is now local time 2am… so perhaps it’s time to go to sleep. We will be traveling to Baltimore tomorrow. Our second event will be held at Shriver Hall of Johns Hopkins University tomorrow night at 7:30pm. Come and join us if you are in the area!

Since I haven’t had time to give a report of our stops in Singapore, I’ll just do a quick shout out first… It was really cool meeting Grace and Cindy in Singapore! Thank you so much for helping out during our tour stop there! =)

回家了

我是第一批回美國的人
從新加坡坐四個多小時的飛機到台灣轉機
然後再坐十幾個小時回美國
啦啦啦 一路上超累的 連多到看不完的電影都沒看
一下飛機 聞到美國的味道
啊 除了亞洲 我的第二個故鄉的味道ㄟ～～

狂睡了好幾個小時
睡醒了 慢慢回想起過去的這三十幾天
哇
好長 三十幾天ㄟ 就這樣過了
神 天天與我們同行
我們 天天與我們的團員同行

回到家 現在是休息階段
慢慢要把沈澱的思想拿出來好好想想
生活步調也要調整調整
回到美國的生活囉～

下星期就要去美東的巡迴了
很高興
美國東部 太棒了！！！

回來之後有一些後續的事情要處理
還有影片要剪接
...
先睡覺調時差再說好了
ZZZzzzzz.....

Heading home...

Wow, finally got a chance to check my blog again and noticed how quickly time just passes. the last time i logged was on 8/2.

the tour is over now, and we will be heading back to the states pretty soon. it is a bit of a mixed feeling. a bit sad that the tour is over, yet, excited that i will be heading home. It will be the end of a chapter of my life, but the beginning of another. God, i'll need you to walk with me!

theres a ton of pics anc clips that i want to post on the blog. hopefully once i get back to the states, i'll have more time. Now, just pack my things, and visit relatives with baby J.

Arriving... Singapore!

After all the wonderful events in Kaohsiung and Malaysia, we have arrived in Singapore yesterday. Since we haven't been having internet connections, it has been hard to update you all with all the event updates. With limited time, I will give you a very quick update.

Ping-Tung

Remember the story of the four friends carrying a man through the roof of a house so that Jesus can heal the friend? We witnessed similiar story in Ping-Tung. There was a young man sitting on a wheel chair who came to our event. He looked very weak, but he was full of joy and tried to worship. What touched us the most was the amount of friends he had surrounding him. They were holding his hands throughout the event and encouraged him to worship. It was a very touching moment.

Kao-Hsiung

Three powerful worship experience. The Lord's presence was definitely there and young people came forth to pray for the city, the country, and to offer themseleves to serve God!

Kuala Lumpur

We had two events in Kuala Lumpur and both events were packed with people. Pastor Sandy was giving some teaching on how to worship and the brothers and sisters really got into it. The Lord's name was definitely lifted high during those two nights. The chuches in Malaysia were really nice to us and truly made us feel at home.

After some luggage issues at the airport, we arrived to Singapore safely yesterday. Praise God! We are now at our final stop of this year's Asia Tour. Please continue to keep us in your prayers! =)

Praise On!

將敬拜讚美的聲音帶入台南的大街小巷!

今天晚上是我們今年在台南的最後一場敬拜
雖然下著大雷雨
弟兄姐妹們還是冒雨來到長榮中學和我們一起敬拜

在過去的幾天
台南的朋友們真的讓我們感受到南台灣的熱情
雖然很捨不得
我們明天還是得出發繼續我們的巡迴

在此也想謝謝所有台南愛護讚美之泉的朋友們
希望你們能將熱情的敬拜帶入台南的大街小巷
也將神的愛分享給您身旁的人!
希望明年還有機會回來與你們一同敬拜那位愛我們的阿爸父!

特別感謝胡爸,胡媽, Jessica, 以及 Charlie 小阿姨 貼心的照顧!

以上的中文總共花了我50分鐘才打完. 下一次還是用英文好了!=)

感謝主 台南場

今天是亞洲巡迴的第.............n場了
啊 什麼 喔 第二十二場喔 (謝謝後面的好心人士)

好吧 老實說 今天有兩場 在晚上那場之前 我突然覺得
恩 累 有沒有人可以跟我換 讓我在台下敬拜一晚啊
幸運的是 當然是沒有人可以幫我彈啊
好吧好吧 嗚嗚
然後在聚會之前的禱告會時
我就跟神禱告說
主啊！！ 我要有突破！ 今天的敬拜要有突破！ 連來參加的弟兄姊妹的要有突破！！！！！
然後我們就衝啊！ 開始敬拜讚美主啊！！！



我一站上台子 覺得蠻讚的
台南長榮中學雖然沒有往年我們用的文化中心還要大
（其實場地是小蠻多的）
可是站在台子上 能夠很清楚的感覺到會眾 所以很有互動的感覺
對了 今天下午的那場有很多小朋友來參加喔
好像是暑期夏令營 老師一起把小朋友帶來參加吧 可能啦
大人小孩一起敬拜神 很讚
我們看到小朋友也在唱歌跳舞敬拜主
愛神的心就不知不覺的單純了起來
好像跟天父爸爸一起喝下午茶一樣的安心

好好好 回題
晚上嘛
我告訴我自己 我也要盡情的敬拜！！！
所以我邊彈邊大聲的唱
啦啦啦 哈利路亞！！！！
啦啦啦 哈利路亞！！！！
然後喔
我深深的感覺到神的同在
感覺到 能敬拜神真好 好幸福喔 這是一種福氣 是恩典來著
長話短說
今天的快歌慢歌 我真的都有超感動的敬拜
上帝也藉著 Will 的分享 跟我說話

我感謝主 沒有因為我本來有點累所以就生氣不准我上台跟大家敬拜了
今天的敬拜 我重新得力
明天是台南的最後一場了 沒問題！ 大家在一起來敬拜吧！！！！！！！


以上是一點片段的分享

台南！yeah!

First Event in Tainan!

We’ve just finished our first event in Tainan. If I were to choose one word to describe this event, it would be… “HOT!”

The venue we are using for these few days here in Tainan is “長榮中學.” It is a Christian school with a long history of over 120 years. Supposedly it is also the very first high school in Taiwan. The campus is beautiful and all the buildings carry unique European styles.

The auditorium is filled with wooden benches which are over 100 years old. (At least that is what we were told.) The place was packed with people and once again it was standing room only. The place was so hot that I started to sweat on the second song and I did not stop sweating until after the event when I got on the bus.

The event was great. The congregation was worshipping with all their hearts; they were especially into it when we sang Taiwanese songs. We still have three more events here in Tainan so definitely more powerful worship to come the next couple of days.

While we are in Taiwan, we have been blessed with special visitation by our SOP members. Special shout out to Tony, HaHa, Melody, Lucy, Connie, Steve哥, Betty, and Andrewston. Thank you guys all for coming to see us and help out with events! On that note, I would also like to give special shout out to our SOP BBS members! It was awesome to finally meet Amy in Hong Kong and Andy in Taipei! =)
