LYON Yin Xin and Augustin came to Bro Desmond's house, we had lunch together. Augustin is a Franch. He is from Paris(may the Lord gain him). At night, we have group meeting. Most of them were saved in France. From left, Jason, Chang You, Desmond, Susan, Jia Ning, Yong Xin, Zheng Yi, Li Juan, Zhi Zhiang, Dominique, Jiang Chao, Yin Xin, Bro Hwang Yong Xin, Qi Zhao and Sheng Ping. All together 15. We sang a hymn, "Loving You, Lord, all i'm living for" and seperated into three groups to pursued a message on consecration. Then, we come together to share our experience. It is very touching. May the Lord continues to lead us on, that we cant but give ourselves to Him.

LYON, FRANCE

At last, I met Bro Desmond and Sis Zheng Yi. After we unloaded my luggage in their apartment, we go to Bro Hwang's house for vital group fellowship. From left is Yong Xing, Zheng Yi, Desmond, Zhi Jiang, Bro Hwang, Sis Hwang and Jia Ning(all the chinese name is my translation, not their real name). We fellowship on the contacts one by one and pray for them. It is very sweet and "organic", you can sense the seeking and shepherding spirit in them. And all the "sheep" is in their heart or even is their very heart. The testimony of Bro Hwang's family, "we had been in the church life for a long time. And sis Hwang does has a desire to attend the middle age training, but the situation seems impossible to them as their children still young. Finally, in 2006, Sis Hwang joined the middle age training for one month and from there, she get the burden for Lord's move to Europe. But when she fellowship with the family's member, they seems not able to enter into the same burden. So, what I(sis Hwang) can do is just pray. Same year, during the Memorial Day's conference, Bro Andrew Yu shared that in our life time, if we can be the stepping stone for the Lord, even just once, our life is worth it already. We were very touched by it. And I am confirmed that we should go Europe for the Lord's need. In 2007, about April, Bro Hwang went to the Elders and Coworkers' training, he was not at home, and I'm sleeping, suddenly I heard someone call my name, I just answer: here am I, Lord. Then, I wake up and saw no one. At that time, I'm not sure whether I'm dreaming or what is happening, and I also dont know why I say Lord. The next day, Bro Hwang came back from the training, he showed me a letter asking those who know Franch to go to London to help up in proof reading the Franch version of NT with footnotes. We had planned our summer trip and the time seems not suitable for me to go, but because of what had happened on the previous night, at last, I bought the ticket and went to London on August. During the two weeks in London, it happened to be a 4 days slot, after talking to a sister, she encouraged me to go to Lyon to visit the church and the saints. So, I went. There were a lots of students, but no family. And most of the students are newly baptist, they are all young in the Lord. I just feel that they are like babes who holding a milk bottle for themselves and at the same time have to feed other.(Sis Hwang said in tears)So, I was moved and received the burden to come to Lyon. And Bro Hwang started to cut down his time being in the office, he try to pass a portion of his works to others. During the winter training, we heard quit a lots of testimonies from those who came from Europe, and Bro Ed, while giving a message, he encouraged the saints to pick up another language, and he do mention Franch, so Bro Hwang was convinced, he started to learn Franch. On January 2008 we fill up the form for LME, in 14 August, we moved to Europe. Praise the Lord!" Now there were at least 4 family here in Lyon coordinating together. The Lord is faithful to those who love Him.

NETHERLANDS, BRUSSELS The most popular transport in Netherlands is bicycle. I took double decker train to Brussels. Until now, I had traveled 6 country. I think it is suitable to make a sumary for the trip. In Belfast, the people i met on street is mostly Coucasion, but the saints is mainly of different races. In Dublin, I saw a lots of Asian, I met even Indian and Malays, most of the saints are from China. In Madrid, I met a lots of people from south America and there are a lots of family who are cooperating with the energetic God burden for Spain! Praise the Lord! In Brussels, I saw a lots of Aficans, the saints are mainly from Armania. In Netherlands, 90% of the saints are local. Praise the Lord for His spread in this country. I also met a lots of secondary school boys from Turkey. Brussels's government allow illegal immigrant to stay in their country and enjoy medical welfare. In Netherlands, drugs and prostitution is legal. So, outwardly you may feel that all the buildings are really great, the scenery are really beautiful. But most of the country suffer long winter. It's about 4 to 6 months and most of the time, even during the summer you will not see the sun as it is in Malaysia. (Many people have psikological problem because of this.) Drugs, drinking and etc, if not because of the testimony of Jesus, I dont think the saints will migrate to Europe. They spent all they have and even their being for the Lord, this really touches me. When I was in Belfast, when I'm having morning revival, I read a portion in HWMR which says, 1. The overcomers follow the Lamb wherever He goes, is by being one with the Lamb in prayer. 2. The overcomers follow the Lamb wherever He goes, is by being one with the Lamb in offering themselves willingly in the splendor of consecration. After prayreading these two outlines, I realised we have no choice, saints. We have no choice. We all desire to be an overcomer and our destiny is to be the corporate overcomer. And to be an overcomer we have to be one with the Lord both in prayer and go. We cant choose to follow Him only in one of the way. We have no choice. We have to pray and also go. If the Lord didnt choose me to be the one who go physically, is fine, no problem, it is up to Him. But on our side, we are a person who pray and go! Amen, Lord, I choose to be an overcomer who follow You wherever You go!(sorry, the above quote is my own translation, it may not be accurate). p/s: please write some comments and give me some feedback. You can suggest which aspect should I go deeper or something which I had neglected. I have 8 more countries and more than 12 stations to go, you can suggest, and I will try to catch up in next station.

EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS Tuesday night, James and Beryl came over and have dinner together. This two couples will come together every Tuesday to pray. We kneel down and pray. Pray for one another, the coming conference in London, their contacts(those secondary school boys, contacts who come for Bible study and some phd's students from China), the coming conference in Netherlands and also the saints from Russia who plan to visit Europe. I really feel that this is a real vital group. They all gone through training and they have burden for Europe and they are here, cooperating with the Lord in prayer and by going. We pray for about 50 minutes that night. They would not set the time, it is all depend on the burden. Wednesday night, Chidi and Blessing from Nigeria came over to have Bible study. This is the fourth time they come, we study 1 Corinthians chapter 4. The Bible study is just like a fellowship. After we read the text, everyone share what had touched them, then we read a portion of the word from the ministry. We were all shepherded by one another. Sis Blessing will attend the conference in London. May the Lord grand her the spirit of wisdom and revelation that she can touched the reality of the body and be saved thoroughly. Thursday night, James and Beryl will have home meeting with phd's student from China. But because i'm leaving in the morning, so I didnt have the opportunity to meet them. They had been shepherding them since 6 months ago, there were about 4~5 students. May the Lord enliven their spirit, that they can touched the spirit in the word. Amen.

6~7 April, Tue

VENLO, NETHERLANDS I took Euroline(bus) to Netherland. Sis Nazik bring me all the way until i got on the bus. The saints really care for me very much. They would try their best to assist me in every way. Thank the Lord for the protection in the body. This is Bro David and Sis Prisca's house. Prisca just came to Netherlands on February. They just married. Sis Prisca is a very lovely sister. She walked to the train station to get me and we walked to her house together, as she is not familiar with the public transport yet. We had fellowship all the way. Very sweet. At night, while we are preparing to have dinner, someone ring the bell. Hei, there are two boys standing at the door. Then, later another came. Another two came later, so all together 5 of them. Bro David and Sis Prisca go to the secondary school near by their house to contact the students. They talked to some of them and send them email. One of them replied, and he start to bring his friends to their house. Most of these students are originaly from Turkey. Until now, there had been 7 boys been to their house, and they had gone through Mistery of Human Life. Both party cant speak good english, yet the Lord bless them in their communication. The boys keep coming every week and some times even came on the week day without appointment. And most of them are muslim. Praise the Lord! May the Lord gain some of them to be the seeds or stepping stone for the Lord to spread the gospel into the muslim world. All nations belong to the Lord! And they are the Lord's! Please pray for them that they may continue to come and be gained by the Lord! Netherlands are famous for their gardening. They took care of their housing environment very much. Most of the residents prefer to stay in the outskirt of the city as the country are so advance that whatever you can get in the city, you can find it in the outskirt too. So, most of the churches are not in the main city. There are 5 churches in Netherland. Every month, the 5 churches will come and meet together at least once. There were about 180 saints. They will come together on the Saturday, and be perfected on 96 lessons, after that, they will go out together to distribute Rhema card. 90% of the saints are local, Praise the Lord!(Most of the churches i visited, are mainly constituted by the saints who migrated there, not local) They follow the ministry closely and are very healthy. The brothers are burdened for the main city in Netherland, so currently, they had a plan to raise up golden lampstand in one of the city in one and a half year. May the Lord bless those saints who answered this call and migrated, that they may gain double portion of grace and enjoyment of the Lord. The last three photos are meat. Look like cake, right?

5 April, Lord's Day

BRUSSELS There were about 35 to 40 saints came to remember the Lord together. We shared about Life Study of Ephesian, message 35. We had love feast after the meeting. I met a couple from Poland, an a sister from Taiwan. Most of the saints are from Armenia. So, most of them know Russian. In the meeting, some use Armenia too. But basically they all speak France. I find it hard to read in France. The pronounciation is a quit different from English and Malay. Every week, there will be a brother either from Netherlands or Franch will come to strengthen the meeting. But this week, most of the responsible brothers had went to the coworker's fellowship, so they are not around. The saints in Brussels are quit new in the Lord's recovery. A sister do mention that they hope to have a family who have burden for Belgium and will come and stay with them to perfect all the saints in many ways that the church in Brussels may be a strong testimony of Jesus. May the Lord answered their prayer. After that, Sis Margaret and "ai ching" accompanied to the Plaza Mayor in Brussels. It is really big and grand. On the way, we pass through the office which control the "Saham"( i dont know how to name it, sorry). Then, we go to a chinese restaurant to preach gospel to the "tauke". Then, we pass through a bar where many people are taking their lunch. And this is the best handcaft you can find in the world, the fashion, and table cloth are all made with hand. Finally, we reached Plaza Mayor. The most popular shop you can find here is chocolate shop. Belgium is famous for chocolate. Some brand is very famous and expensive, like Nuhaus, Godiva, Marcolini and etc(i may spell it wrong). Sis Margaret treat me the best wafer in Brussels. Then, we visited the "seafood street". In Europe, you can see moon while the other side is sun. They exist together. At night, Bro Zhen cook for us again. There are some guest who came to their house. After the meal, we sing hymns together. We enjoyed the hymns very much. Last photo, from left is me, 曾驛淳, 曾蔡嫦娥(Sis Margaret), 曾之儀, 曾水龍弟兄(Bro Zhen), 曾麟凱 and Sis "ai ching". Thanks for the warm hospitality, 曾弟兄 and family. May the Lord, keep this family in the church life to be the shepherd camp for the spreading of the gospel.
