角聲癌症協會

上帝透過不同環境、人和事，讓紐約癌症協會，不單服務紐約地區華人病患者的需要，也愈來愈多服務外州的患者，並且透過網上Zoom 平台，與加州分會癌症協會聯合舉辦講座活動；今年5月更實體操作，一同舉辦了大型活動——全美華人粉紅絲帶研習會。一連3天的研討會，參加人次超過300人。

我們的探訪團隊，一直對癌友進行愛心探訪。因著與眾教會弟兄姐妹連結同工，我們在去年聖誕期間，接觸到幾十位很久沒有見面的病者及家屬，並與他們重新建立美好的關係，感謝讚美主的帶領和協工們的合作。十年前的唐人街互助會有兩位病友成為我的好朋友，其中一位是患了三種癌症，卻十分堅毅的年長戰友，經由我們團隊的關懷，已經信主、受洗，加入布碌崙（布魯克林）華人教會。

感謝上帝的引領和恩典！讓「癌協」可以服事另一位才認識一週的病者和家屬，為該戰友做決志禱告、灑水禮、追思禮拜及線上直播，向國內的家人傳福音。我們相信上帝在每個人身上，都有獨特的計劃。感恩的是，我們可以回應上帝的呼召，進入人群中尋找、陪伴、引導、牧養……讓「萬事互相效力」的真理，活現在我們中間。感謝耶穌！

Through different environments, people, and events, God has enabled the New York Herald Cancer Association not only to serve the needs of Chinese cancer patients in the New York area but also to increasingly assist patients from other states. Using the online Zoom platform, we have jointly organized seminars with the Cancer Association of the California branch. In May of this year, we hosted a large in-person event—the Pink Ribbon Conference. The three-day seminar had over 300 participants.

Our visitation team has always been dedicated to visiting cancer patients. Through connections with brothers and sisters from various churches, we were able to reach out during last year’s Christmas season to dozens of patients and their families who we had not seen for a long time, re-establishing relationships with them. We thank and praise the Lord for His guidance and the cooperation of all our volunteers.

Ten years ago , two cancer patients from the patient support group in Chinatown became my good friends. One of them, an elderly cancer survivor who had battled three types of cancer with great resilience, came to faith in the Lord, was baptized, and joined the Brooklyn Chinese Church through the care of our team.

We are grateful for God’s guidance and grace! It allowed the Cancer Association to serve another patient and their family, whom we had known for only a week. We were able to offer a prayer of commitment, a sprinkling baptism, a memorial service with an online live broadcast, during which we shared the Gospel with the family members back in China.

We believe that God has a unique plan for everyone. We are thankful that we can respond to God’s call, seeking, accompanying, guiding, and shepherding others, allowing the truth that “all things work together for good” to be alive among us. Praise Jesus!
