剛收到一個好消息,某教會告訴我們需要更多《號角月報》。每次聽到有人要《號角》,我的心都充滿感恩。

《號角》很大部分,是靠教會及個別有心志傳福音的基督徒派發的,對我們來說,他們協助派發不只是認同和支持《號角》,更代表他們願意與我們一起傳福音。然而,我們偶然都會收到一些原本幫忙派發《號角》的人,告知因為不同的原因而需暫停幫忙。最近就有一對住在外州的夫婦,因為年紀太大,不得不放棄派發《號角》,但他們仍努力為我們物色合適的弟兄姊妹,來繼續他們的使命。

另外,有一位86歲住在長者大廈的長者,因為早前跌倒,不能自己到大廈外拿《號角》,所以請我們每月郵寄10份《號角》給她,以致她可以派給大廈裡的長者。有人派《號角》,我們出版《號角》才有用。他們深明派發的重要,所以是無聲地、長期地、義務地派發《號角》。願神賜福給每一位派發和接收《號角》的人!

有一位姊妹,給我很多地址,讓我們郵寄《號角》給她的朋友。有一次,我無意中發現其中一位奉獻者,正是她的朋友,這給我一個驚喜!《號角》不但可以傳福音,還可以收到回應。其實,眾多的奉獻者,都是對《號角》愛的回應和支持,讓我們可以繼續發行和傳福音。這讓我看到天父的供應、鼓勵和支持,怎能不努力作工呢?

另外,有一位廣告客戶,真的很支持《號角》。這位客戶因為生病本已停了刊登廣告,但因為溝通出了問題,我們沒有停止刊登她的廣告。當她收到賬單時,才知道我們未有停載她的廣告。為了福音的緣故,這位有愛心的姊妹,雖然生病不能工作,還是每月奉獻支持《號角》。

他們以實際行動,表達對《號角》的愛,實在值得我們效法。他們一直事奉到不能事奉為止,這成為我的目標。當我眼花了不能打字,頭腦不太清晰不能安排事情,走路不太穩,手不能拿重物,仍可以提供地址,讓《號角》送到別人的家裡,也可把《號角》的網址介紹給人,繼續傳揚福音,完成神托付的使命!

I just received some great news – a church informed us that they need more copies of the Herald Monthly. Every time I hear that someone wants the Herald, my heart is filled with gratitude.

A large part of the Herald Monthly distribution relies on churches and individual Christians who are passionate about spreading the Gospel. To us, their help in distribution not only represents their support and recognition of the Herald, but also their willingness to partner with us in evangelism. However, occasionally, we receive word from those who have been helping to distribute the Herald that they need to take a break due to various reasons. Recently, a couple living out of state, who had been faithfully distributing the Herald, had to stop due to their age. Nevertheless, they are still making an effort to find suitable brothers and sisters to continue their mission.

One elderly sister, 86 years old, living in a senior residence, can’t go outside to collect the Herald herself after a fall. So, she asked us to mail her ten copies of the Herald every month, enabling her to distribute them to the other elderly residents in her building. The publication of the Herald is only meaningful when there are people willing to distribute it. These individuals deeply understand the importance of this work, and they do it quietly, consistently, and voluntarily. May God bless everyone who distributes and receives the Herald!

One time, a sister provided me with many addresses to which we could send the Herald for her friends. One time, a sister provided me with many addresses to which we could send the Herald for her friends. The Herald not only spreads the Gospel but also receives responses. In fact, many donors are responding to the Herald with love and support, enabling us to continue publishing and spreading the Gospel. This shows me the Father’s provision, encouragement, and support — How can we not work hard?

Another dedicated supporter is one of our advertising clients. She genuinely supports the Herald. Due to her illness, she had already stopped advertising, but due to a communication issue, we didn’t stop her ads. When she received the bill, she realized that we hadn’t discontinued her ads. For the sake of the Gospel, this loving sister, even though she was ill and unable to work, continues to make a monthly donation to support the Herald.

These individuals express their love for the Herald through practical actions, and their dedication is truly worth emulating. They serve until they can no longer serve, and that has become my goal. Even when my eyesight fails, and I can’t type, my mind isn’t as clear, I can’t arrange things, my walking isn’t steady, and I can’t lift heavy objects, I can still provide addresses for the Herald to be delivered to others’ homes. I can also introduce the Herald’s website to people, continuing to spread the Gospel and fulfill God’s entrusted mission!
