生命莊園

感恩！今年合共有超過62個教會機構，9,000人次，在角聲生命莊園舉辦和參加退修會，其中有50名參加者，在生命莊園重生得救。

除了承辦「角聲」各部門舉辦的退修營會，包括「夫妻營」、「角聲同工工作培靈營」、「單身營」、「教牧培靈會」等，「生命莊園」也嘗試與「蔡茂昌牧師暨牧者關懷中心」及「北美華神」合作舉辦「美東牧者靈命更新靜修營」，並繼續主辦乒乓球福音營，這不單獲得參加者的大力支持，也為主內弟兄姊妹廣傳福音，提供了另一個平台。

Thanks be to God!

This year, over 62 churches and organizations, totaling more than 9,000 participations, attended in retreats and events at Eddy Farm, and among them, 50 individuals were saved and reborn here.

In addition to hosting retreats and events organized by various CCHC departments (such as the Marriage Retreat, Work Camp, Singles Retreat, and Pastoral Spiritual Retreat), Eddy Farm also collaborated with “Pastor Tsi Mao-chung and Pastor Care Center” and “North American Chinese Theological Seminary” to hold the Eastern Coast Pastor Spiritual Renewal Retreat. Additionally, we continued to host the table tennis gospel camp, which not only received strong support from participants but also provided another platform for brothers and sisters to spread the Gospel.

今年「生命莊園」還嘗試向鄰近教會開放，為他們提供主日敬拜的場所和午餐，見證了「角聲」作為宣教機構與教會連結的一個好開始。此外，我們為「角聲」的「生命樹宣教項目」，提供了六個植樹區，共植樹176棵，見證眾弟兄姊妹的宣教心志。

「莊園」也增加了不少建設：除了購置了兩張乒乓球的球枱，又增建了籃球、足球、排球、迷您高爾夫球等四大球場，還平整出將近十畝空地，為將來事工所用。

協工的參與和支持，是「莊園」今年事工最大的亮點，超過十名協工輪流在莊園參與服事大小營會，除了可為「莊園」節省營運開支，還向參加營會的會眾，展示了神僕人謙卑服事的心，成為祝福多人的管道。同時，這些協工的靈命也得到成長，有多位協工在今年得救受洗或是決志信主。

This year, Eddy Farm also began opening its doors to neighboring churches, providing them with a venue for Sunday worship and lunch, setting an excellent example of CCHC as a mission organization connecting with churches. Furthermore, we provided six tree-planting zones for the Tree of Life Mission Project, where a total of 176 trees were planted, testifying to the mission zeal of our brothers and sisters.

Eddy Farm also underwent significant construction improvements, including the acquisition of two ping-pong tables, the addition of three major sports courts for basketball, soccer, and volleyball, and the leveling of nearly ten acres of land for future ministry purposes.

The participation and support of volunteers were highlights of Eddy Farm’s ministry this year. Over ten volunteers took turns serving at various camps and events. Their service not only helped reduce operating expenses for Eddy Farm but also demonstrated the humble servanthood of God’s workers to the congregants attending the events, becoming a channel of blessings to many. Simultaneously, the spiritual growth of these volunteers was evident, with several of them being baptized or making commitments to Christ this year.

展望未來，「莊園」將與更多教會建立連結的關係，讓更多教會知道並使用「莊園」。因此我們會重新設計網站，並增加線上交流平台和預訂機制。

在新的一年，我們會增強與支持者的聯繫，定期向他們報告「莊園」事工的發展、建設和改善的需要，使他們更多參與。也會繼續擴展協工團隊，與協工們建立互助關係，使更多協工，因著他們的服事成為多人的祝福，也使協工自己得到祝福。

我們還會繼續改善「莊園」的基礎設施，包括改造沒有衞生間的客房，繼續更換熱水爐，增加緊急發電機，更換窗簾、床墊等。主若願意，2025年會是角聲生命莊園見證大力發展、豐收的一年。一切的能力、榮耀歸於神！

Looking ahead, Eddy Farm aims to establish more connections with more churches so that more will know and utilize the Farm and the facilities. To achieve this, we will redesign the website, create online communication platforms, and implement reservation systems.

In the coming year, we will strengthen our connections with supporters, providing them with regular updates on the development, construction, and improvement needs of Eddy Farm, encouraging their increased participation. We will also continue to expand the volunteer team, fostering relationships among volunteers so that more can be a blessing to others and be blessed themselves.

We will also continue to improve Eddy Farm’s infrastructure, including renovating guest rooms without bathrooms, replacing water heaters, adding emergency generators, and updating curtains, mattresses, and more. If the Lord is willing, 2024 will be a year of significant development and harvest for Eddy Farm. All glory and power be to God!
