恩典之旅：在服侍中學習愛、經歷愛、活出愛
A Journey of Grace: Serving, Loving, and Growing Together

By Candy Ku

緬甸短宣隊今天圓滿完成了為期十天的短宣之旅。清晨4時15分，隊員們已在酒店集合，感謝神保守大家平安順利到達機場，並順利完成登機手續，踏上回程。
The Myanmar short-term mission team has successfully completed our ten-day mission trip. At 4:15 a.m., the team gathered at the hotel, and by God’s grace, everyone arrived safely at the airport, completed check-in smoothly, and began the journey home.

回顧這十天的旅程，深深感受到神的恩典一直環繞著我們。雖然旅途中陸續有隊員身體不適，一個接一個生病，但感謝主，大家的症狀都只是輕微，沒有影響整個行程，神的看顧和保守從未離開過我們。更多謝弟兄姊妹們對短宣隊的禱告，用禱告支持著我們整個團隊和行程。Looking back over these ten days, I am deeply reminded of God’s abundant grace that surrounded us every step of the way. Although several team members became ill one after another during the trip, we thank God that their symptoms were only mild and did not disrupt the ministry. Throughout the journey, God’s protection and faithful care never left us. We are also deeply grateful to all the brothers and sisters who faithfully upheld the team in prayer. Your prayers strengthened both our team and every aspect of this mission.

這趟旅程，我更真切地看見神的愛在團隊中流動。隊員彼此照顧、彼此關心，在身體軟弱時互相扶持，在服侍中彼此配搭。而每個成員更能把神賜給他們的恩賜和材能運用出來，我彷彿看見一幅充滿愛的圖畫，這正是神家的樣式。
This trip allowed me to witness God’s love flowing so beautifully among our team. We cared for one another, encouraged one another, and supported each other through moments of physical weakness. As we served together, each team member faithfully used the unique gifts and talents that God had given them. It was like watching a beautiful picture painted with love—a glimpse of what God’s family is meant to be.

今次短宣，也讓我看見西宣一班年輕人的成長。看著他們與雲彩家園孩子們的互動，那份真誠的關愛自然流露，愛就在彼此之間不斷傳遞，實在令人感恩。
This mission trip also gave me the joy of seeing the growth of the young people from our church. Watching them interact with the children at Silver Lining Family Village, I saw genuine love naturally expressed through their words and actions. Love was continually shared from one person to another, and witnessing this was truly a reason to give thanks to God.

這是我第二次來到緬甸，但今次的身份是短宣隊其中一位隊長，因此神給我的領受與去年截然不同。以往，我們往往把焦點放在孩子身上，因為知道他們需要愛與關懷。然而，這次神提醒我，其實雲彩家園的媽媽和同工們，同樣十分需要被關心和支持。
This was my second visit to Myanmar, but this time I came as one of the team leaders. As a result, what God taught me was very different from my experience last year. In the past, my attention was naturally focused on the children because I knew they needed love and care. This time, however, God reminded me that the mothers and staff members at Silver Lining Family Village also need to be loved, encouraged, and supported.

特別是每一位媽媽，現時都需要照顧十七至十八位孩子，從清晨到晚上，日復一日默默付出。她們身心靈都承受著很大的壓力，也非常需要鼓勵、同行和代禱。感謝神讓我有更多機會與她們相處、交流，透過一次次的傾談建立彼此的信任和關係，也將神的愛帶到她們當中。
Each of the mothers currently cares for seventeen or eighteen children every day. From early morning until late at night, they faithfully pour themselves out in quiet, sacrificial service. The demands they carry are enormous—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They deeply need encouragement, companionship, and prayer. I thank God for giving me many opportunities to spend time with them, to listen to their stories, and to build relationships of trust through heartfelt conversations. It was a privilege to share God’s love with them in these simple yet meaningful moments.

有人說，時間未必是衡量感情深淺的標準。雖然我們只同行了短短十天，但整個短宣隊卻建立了深厚的情誼。從最初彼此陌生，到後來成為朋友、家人；到了離別的一刻，大家都依依不捨，心中充滿感恩，也帶著不捨。
People often say that the depth of a relationship is not measured by the amount of time spent together. Although we journeyed together for only ten days, our mission team developed deep and genuine friendships. We began as strangers, became friends, and eventually felt like family. When it came time to say goodbye, there were tears, gratitude, and a heartfelt reluctance to part.

感謝神讓我們經歷這趟滿有恩典的短宣旅程，也讓我們在服侍中學習愛、經歷愛、活出愛。期待下一次再次踏上宣教的旅程，願我們繼續成為神愛的器皿，把基督的愛帶到更多有需要的人當中。
I thank God for allowing us to experience such a grace-filled mission trip. Through serving others, we learned what it means to love, experienced God’s love in deeper ways, and had the privilege of sharing that love with others. I look forward to the day when we can once again answer God’s call to the mission field. May we continue to be vessels of His love, bringing the love of Christ to all who are in need.

願一切榮耀都歸給神！
To God alone be all the glory.
