展開屬天翅膀 如鷹展翅上騰

Daniel Yeremin project. 2020一月一日第一次會面，建立共識。

有一個美國年輕人，已經來我們中文堂教會幾個月了。我知道他不太會說中文，中文講道大概應該也聽不懂，只知道他現在正在唸預備醫科，計劃在不久(大約一年後)去中國一年，再回來完成醫學院。他一直感覺上帝有心有可能將要帶領他未來去海外，一開始以為會是非洲，後來卻發現更有可能是去中國(對雲南的少數民族有感動)，也許是做醫療宣教相關的事工，所以打算開始學中文，提做好預備。

2019的年底，有一次我有一天終於忍不住在主日之後問他一個問題 :我敢可以怎麼幫助你呢? 你有興趣開始一週一次的語言及文化課嗎? 他一開始因為不相信會有這樣的好事會發生，所以沒有敢立刻答應。但在幾週後，他又跑回來問我: 妳上次的提議，仍然有效嗎??

對他而言，他只是想要順服神的心意和帶領。對我而言，我知道一個對中國有興趣，又有宣教心志的年輕人來到中文堂，又連續待了好幾個月，這簡直不可能是意外。我有責任，要問神祂的心意是什麼，而我，可以怎麼樣使上帝的心意得滿足呢?? 這就是這個奇妙旅程的開始。

透過紀碌下來，我很快就發現，這其實是上帝親自的帶領，也許是為了要幫助我學習和經歷，要如何從搖籃當中培養出未來的宣教士，並且成為他們將來在宣教的前線，最好的支持與幫助。我很期待這個旅程將會帶領我們到那裡去! 非常拭目以待!!!
