當我走到大教室的前面——在 Sini 剛分享完我們作為上帝軍隊的見證之後——《活出愛》的初音緩緩響起。我邀請我們 19 人的團隊一同站立，將這首歌獻給家園的孩子們作為臨別的禮物。雖然這已經是我第三次來到這裡，但接下來發生的一切，依然震撼了我的心。超過 200 人在完美的合一中舉起雙手，隨著節奏在對耶穌及彼此的愛中擺動。沒有任何頂尖的交響樂團能比得上這 200 多個聲音，在每個夜晚敬拜中發出的澎湃力量。
As I stepped onto the front of the huge classroom—following Sini’s powerful testimony of our calling as God’s army—the first notes of 活出爱 (Live Out Love) began to play. I invited our team of 19 to stand with me, dedicating the song to the children of Family Village as we were wrapping up our stay. Though it was my third time here, nothing could prepare my heart for what followed. Over 200 people raised their hands in perfect unison, moving to the rhythm in a sea of love for Jesus and one another. No elite symphony orchestra could ever match the raw power of those 200+ voices roaring in worship night after night.

在我們的分享會中，隊友們感動落淚，分享這幾天的經歷：「這就是人間天堂。」這裡，確實是一個合神心意的地方。
Teammates wept during our debrief, proclaiming, “This is heaven on earth.” Truly, this place is after God’s own heart.

緬甸短宣隊經過幾個月的預備、無數的禱告，並在激烈的屬靈爭戰中堅定站立，耶穌再次證明祂是得勝的君王！！
After months of preparation, endless prayers, and standing firm against intensive spiritual warfare, Jesus proved once again that He is victorious!!

在這一週裡，我們的團隊展現了美麗的合一，與孩子們和雲彩家園的同工分享生命。我們在愛筵中建立連結，給予深深的鼓勵，並傾注祝福的禱告。我們一起教孩子們 AI 科技、做手工藝、搭建球場並教導他們打匹克球（pickleball）、製作巧克力拉花，還送上了書籍和禮物。而他們則以滿滿的感激、純真的笑容和肯定的話語，向我們傾注了無盡的愛與擁抱。
Throughout the week, our team worked in beautiful unity to share our lives with the children and Silver Lining workers. We bonded over meals, offered deep encouragement, and poured out prayers of blessing. Together, we taught the children AI, made arts and crafts, introduced pickleball by setting up courts and coaching them, crafted latte art, and gave books and gifts. In return, they showered us with overwhelming gratitude, pure smiles, and messages of affirmation.

如今，當我們 6 天 5 夜的旅程畫上句點，我的眼淚比以往流得更快。上帝的愛透過祂的孩子們變得如此真實：一個小女孩溫柔地把花別在我的耳後；一個青少年用她微薄的零用錢每天送我禮物，甚至精確地記得我過去幾年到訪的日期。我徬彿還能聽到他們隔空高喊著「海藍姐姐！」，看見他們哭著祈求我們明年一定要再回來，甚至在漆黑的夜裡拿著手電筒，只為了在我們的卡車駛過門口時揮手道別。這樣純粹的愛，有誰能抗拒呢？
Now, as our six-day journey ends, my tears flow faster than ever. God’s love became tangible through His children: a little girl tucking a flower behind my ear, and a teenager using her tiny allowance to buy me gifts while remembering the exact dates of my past visits. I still hear them shouting “海蓝姐姐!”, weeping as they begged us to return, and standing in the pitch black with flashlights just to wave goodbye as our truck rattled away. Who could resist such pure love?

然而，上帝也賜予了我們充滿感染力的喜樂。在我們的燒烤派對上，當地的同工、孩子和大人們隨著《Gangnam Style》和《YMCA》一起載歌載舞。像我這樣的舞蹈初學者也拋開了所有顧忌，帶著笨拙卻滑稽的舞步瘋狂起舞。不需要顧及面子，我們只是在純粹、毫無雜質的快樂中盡情跳舞。
Yet, God also filled us with contagious joy. At our BBQ party, local staff, children, and adults danced together to Gangnam Style and YMCA. A beginner like me threw away all pride, dancing like crazy with clumsy, hilarious movements. Free from saving face, we just danced in pure, unadulterated happiness.

在家園的每一天，都是由淚水與笑聲交織而成的畫卷——這正是那首詩歌《活出愛》的真實寫照。因為耶穌的愛在我們心中燃燒，我們來到這裡分享愛；然而，透過這些孩子和同工，我們也深深經歷了那份毫無保留、反哺回我們心中的愛。我們齊心協力，向世界見證耶穌那份長闊高深的愛，願更多的人能夠認識祂。
Every day in the Family Village was a breathtaking tapestry of tears and laughter—a living echo of 活出爱. Because Jesus’ love burns within us, we came to share love. Yet, through these children and staff, we deeply experienced that very same love poured back into us. Together, we stand as a witness to the world of Jesus’ boundless love, so that many more may come to know Him.
