Over the years, I have learnt of the posture we ought to have when we serve God. Some Christians may think that to serve God, we must be perfect individuals. On the contrary, if we think this way, we could lose the joy of serving or simply forget that we are serving God.
When we serve God, we are on a journey of obedience and transformation. It calls for us to sacrifice the time, energy, and resources that God has graciously given us, so that we may in turn be a blessing to others. Each decision we make to surrender and submit to Him enables our faith to grow stronger.
My mother’s salvation was one particular challenge that God had used to strengthen my faith.
My faith grew stronger in getting my mother to accept Christ and be baptised. In this journey, I prayed a lot. This went on for years and when I grew tired and felt like giving up, God moved in quickly to show me that salvation belongs to the Lord.
“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” (1 Cor 3: 6-7)
我出生在一个讲福建话的家庭，从小第一个接触的语言就是福建话。然而让我对闽南语产生浓厚感情的缘由，不是由于在家里与家人沟通，而是因为基督教！大约我五岁时，哥哥结婚，嫂嫂 (即有些华人年议会成员所认识的何贞丽姐) 带领我们全家进入直落亚逸礼拜堂。
直落亚逸礼拜堂于1889年开创时，纯粹就是以闽南语服事当地的华侨移民。因此从小我就在直落亚逸堂的主日学接受到闽南语的圣经教导。不论唱诗、祷告、背金句、听故事，都是以闽南语为媒介。令我印象深刻，甚至到现在我还能背诵的，就是嫂嫂教我们的儿童饭前与睡前的闽南语祷文。
两个祷文里，除了最后两句相当于例常的 “奉主圣名、阿门” 之外，每两句都是句尾押韵的。因此，以上的祷文容易背诵，而且读起来感到意义深长而且很有韵味。多年来在闽南语崇拜的环境中，一个令我非常欣赏且惊讶的，就是发现许多闽南圣诗的诗句都有押韵。
让我用一首闽南圣诗做例子。邀请读者扫描本文中的二维码，以观赏这闽南圣诗的一个视频，视频内的圣诗发音与上述诗词有少许差异……除此之外，视频里的歌声大致上能让我们听到以上诗词的闽南语发音。
每当我在厦语崇拜中，与会众一起唱闽南圣诗时，我总会观察诗词中有否押韵。大多时候是有的，看到了押韵的字句，我感受到作者的一番苦心，选用的字句，不但能达到押韵，还能同时表达诗词的连贯意义。特别是有些闽南圣诗是由外文翻译过来，译者必须兼顾押韵以及原文的字义。
在直落亚逸堂里灵命的成长中，闽南语已成为我生命中一个重要的环节。闽南语不但是我崇拜的媒介，也是我服事教会的语言，用于教导，讲台，翻译与小组事工。每晚当我与太太用闽南语做睡前的祷告时，把家人以及代祷的事项完全交托之后，闽南语的 “心正所愿” 成为我们俩带进梦境中的祝福。

年长的队员第一次参加短宣，完全不知该如何预备，一切似乎都很新鲜。不过这趟短宣之旅，却带给大家很大的激励。这次的泰北清莱短宣，我们受邀参加刘家村的30周年感恩庆暨刘玉贵传道的按牧典礼。60年前先辈在刘家村开垦荒地, 在艰苦的环境下，一人一锄地翻土，播种； 30年后，上帝藉着从新马两地来的宣教士向村民传扬福音，成立了教会，帮助许多吸毒者戒毒。上帝的救赎恩典临到这块土地，许多村民接受主耶稣成为生命的主，脱离吸毒的生活！

“上帝啊，前面的道路要往哪个方向走呢?”上帝终于回复我的询问了! 公元2000年初的一个晚上，我丈夫对我说上帝呼召他， 要他卸下总裁职位，从事宣教事奉。
