今天早上醒來，經過一夜安穩的睡眠，整個人感到神清氣爽。回想起來，從離開西雅圖到現在不過短短幾天，神卻已經讓我們在緬甸經歷了許多恩典與祝福，實在令人感恩。
Waking up this morning, I felt refreshed after a great night’s sleep. It’s hard to believe that only a few days have passed since leaving Seattle. God has already blessed us with such an incredible time here in Myanmar.

昨晚的聚會中，一位年輕女孩分享了她的生命故事。她談到自己成長過程中所經歷的傷痛，包括曾受到母親的虐待，後來才來到雲彩家園生活。聽著她的見證，內心深受觸動。Chris 和 Lydia 鼓勵所有孩子，提醒他們每一位都是神眼中寶貴的兒女，神永遠不會離棄他們。
Last night during our gathering, a young girl shared her story. She spoke about the hardships she experienced growing up, including abuse from her mother, and how she eventually came to live at Family Village. It was deeply moving to hear her testimony. Chris and Lydia reminded all the children that they are precious in God’s eyes and that they will never be abandoned.

今天早晨的分享中，我們再次被提醒神的信實——無論面對任何景況，祂都必不撇下我們，也不丟棄我們（申命記31:6）。
During this morning’s sharing time, we were again reminded of God’s faithfulness—that He will never leave nor forsake us, no matter what we face (Deuteronomy 31:6).

隨後，我們前往神學院參觀，並與師生一同敬拜。能夠和他們一起唱詩敬拜，是一次既深刻又難忘的經歷。雖然有些詩歌是用他們的母語演唱，我們卻依然真實地感受到神的同在。那一刻再次提醒我，真正的敬拜能超越語言、文化與背景，因為我們所敬拜的是同一位主。
After that, we went to the seminary school for a tour and a time of worship together. It was both powerful and memorable to sing alongside the kids as we worshiped together. Even though some of the songs were sung in their native language, we could clearly sense the presence of God among us. It was a beautiful reminder that worship transcends language, culture, and background.

之後，我們與十二位神學生一起共進午餐。看見神在緬甸興起這麼多年輕人，在如此年輕的年紀便願意將生命奉獻給主，實在令人感動。其中一位我交談的學生，十七歲便離開家鄉，到神學院接受裝備，如今已經六年沒有回家探望家人。聽著他的故事，更深刻體會到許多年輕信徒為了回應神的呼召，甘心付上的代價，也讓我看見這與許多地方的信仰光景形成了鮮明的對比。
We then had lunch with twelve students. It is amazing to see how God is working in Myanmar, raising up so many young people who are dedicating their lives to His service at such an early age. One student I spoke with left home at the age of 17 and has been studying for six years without returning home to visit his family. Hearing stories like his really highlights the sacrifices many young believers here are willing to make and offers a striking contrast to what we often see in elsewhere.

下午，神賜給我們美好的天氣。我們與孩子們一起打籃球、玩匹克球（Pickleball），也一同跳舞。孩子們都非常投入，也很開心地展現自己的才華。
In the afternoon, God blessed us with beautiful weather. We enjoyed basketball, pickleball, and dance activities with the children, who eagerly showed off their talents.

傍晚時分，雨正好停了，我們順利舉行了燒烤聚會。我特別被孩子們的責任感和良好的品格所感動。無論是擺放桌椅、升起炭火、分發食物給別人，還是最後整理清潔，每一位孩子都毫不猶豫地主動參與、彼此服事。最後，我們在歡樂的氣氛中一起跳團體舞，隨著《YMCA》、《APT》以及《Gangnam Style》的音樂盡情歡笑，為這一天畫下了難忘的句點。
The rain stopped at just the right time for us to have a barbecue together. I was especially impressed by how responsible and well-mannered the kids were. From setting up tables, lighting charcoal, serving food to others, and helping with cleanup, everyone jumped in without hesitation. We ended the evening with group dances, and it was such a memorable experience dancing to YMCA, APT, and Gangnam Style together.

正如昨晚分享見證的那位女孩一樣，雲彩家園的每一位孩子都有著屬於自己的生命故事。這幾天，我親眼看見神如何一步步醫治、更新他們的生命，使他們重新充滿盼望、喜樂與人生的方向，內心深受激勵。
Just like the young girl who shared her story last night, every child at Family Village has a unique journey. It has been incredibly encouraging to witness how God is transforming their lives, filling them with hope, joy, and purpose.

感謝神，也感謝大家給我這個機會，透過雲彩機構的服事，親眼見證神在緬甸奇妙的作為。能夠來到這裡，看見神如何改變一個又一個生命，對我而言是一份莫大的恩典與祝福。願神繼續使用雲彩機構，讓更多失去盼望的孩子因著基督的愛，找到真正的盼望與新的生命。
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to catch a glimpse of God’s marvelous work in Myanmar through Silver Lining Organization. It has been a tremendous blessing to be here and to see firsthand how God is changing lives.
