1.神的意念高過我的意念
列王記下20：3「耶和華啊，求你記念我在你面前怎樣存完全的心，按誠實行事，又做你眼中所看為善的。希西家就痛哭了。」元國問蔣醫師，既然這左大腿髖關節是一定會崩，那為什麼兩年前不一起換掉呢？蔣醫師回答說：怕你的身體承受不了！於是元國就明白了！這兩年來的疼痛、腿瘸著走路！是神要元國放慢腳步，並且專專的倚靠神的恩典服事！曾經看見別人正常走路時幾次會閃念思想…能正常走路是何等美好！…我還能正常走路嗎？…
感謝神！希西家王的禱告警醒我，我只管謹守遵行神的話語，神的意念高過我的意念！神的道路高過我的道路！祂做事有定時，按祂時候成就美好事！女兒才羽對我說：過去兩年的物理治療復健運動沒有白做！更是為這次手術復原神速的預備，讓元國經歷神奇妙醫治的大能！再次領受祂奇妙的作為。謝謝神讓元國在手術後40天的時間，就能夠用單支拐杖走路了，這兩天有時從洗手間出來，竟都忘記拿拐杖了！謝謝神讓楊長老介紹蔣醫師醫治我。更謝謝所有為元國代禱的義人們，神垂聽了你們的禱告！也讓元國等候神！
2.感恩的探訪、回到起初的愛
元國這次在台北有幸探望當年讀神學院的教務長蔡老師(也是每個周末實習教會的師母)、還探訪了推薦信元國讀神學院的牧長、並宣教南非差派禮、元國按牧禮的李牧師；並支持教會黃長老夫婦等，分享中讓元國看見神大能的福音，在各國、各族、各民、各方展開，讚嘆感恩時，聖靈更帶領我們夫婦回到起初之愛！就再次讚嘆、感恩神的奇妙安排、並祂救贖與選召的旨意
因著信、以至於信！全是恩典！回顧元國夫婦返回台灣進入讀神學院起，到回南非服事華人宣教事工，甚至在後來的南非的植堂開拓，都有前輩們軌跡「跟隨耶穌的腳蹤行」；從他們的分享中更是清楚的領受到「世代的交棒」，是我們夫婦前面10年事奉的必要目標。…不單是交事工，更是交榜樣生命
求主幫助我們，將我們最好的金錢、時間(服事)、生命(生活)都獻給主，使我們更深的經歷祂話語的恩典權能：「你的財寶在哪裡、你的心就在那裡！」
基層宣教訓練神學院杜院長 南非陳弟兄來探望 二女兒女婿來台回門宴
慧玲、元國弟兄姐妹 宴席之前元國勉勵[和好的神] 元國和丈母娘一起看診
歷代志下16：9「耶和華的眼目遍察全地，要顯大能幫助向他心存誠實的人。」
歷代志上17：26~27「耶和華啊，惟有你是神，你也應許將這福氣賜給僕人。現在你喜悅賜福與僕人的家，可以永存在你面前。耶和華啊，你已經賜福，還要賜福到永遠。」女兒才羽和女婿亞歷山大二人，專程在農曆年假期來台灣舉行結婚的回門宴，看見他們二人向著主的專誠，活出和樂的新婚美好見證，給我們們未信主的親人。特別是年輕一輩的家人，帶來信靠神得祝福的美好見證，讓元國夫婦俯伏在神面前感恩！更寶貴的是他們二人是同心的要陪伴年老的外婆、與年長的伯、叔與姑姑們，就看見他們活出聖經中的第一條帶應許的誡命、孝順父母！使他們在世的日子得以長久！他們與同輩的堂、表手足們，和睦、喜樂相處的見證，讓我們全家都經歷到基督信仰的真實平安與歡樂，可以是如此的真、善、美！女婿口中經常的對女兒說：「Thank you My Darling」，這句話先是讓慧玲學會了對元國說，當然也感染元國對慧玲也如此說；然後是一個一個的模仿著說，現在女兒女婿已回英國五天了，全家人還浸泡在這喜樂溫馨的對話中Thank you My Darling

progressed from 1 Kings to Nehemiah.
Thanksgivings
Healing for Yuan-Kuo: I thank God for the smooth recovery following Yuan-Kuo's left total hip replacement surgery. It has been 40 days, and he is now able to walk with a single cane. Thank you all for your unceasing prayers. May God manifest His glorious works.
Online Worship: I thank God for allowing the Cape Town Chinese Christian Church to worship Him through online services. Everything has gone smoothly, and I offer my gratitude to Him.
Family Reunion & Testimony: I am grateful to God for leading my second daughter, Cai-yu, and her husband to Taiwan for their wedding banquet. This allowed our relatives and Hui-ling’s relatives to fellowship together. Yuan-Kuo shared his testimony of salvation, and Tsai-yu was able to guide Yuan-Kuo through his post-surgery rehabilitation exercises.
Visiting Elders: I thank God for the opportunity for Yuan-guo to visit spiritual elders and express support for the church. All thanks and praise belong to God.
Tsai-Chu’s Internship: I thank God for leading Tsai-Chu (a 5th-year dentistry student) through the first month of the semester. Her internship in the local township has been safe and successful.
Prayer Requests
Return to South Africa: Yuan-Kuo has an orthopedic follow-up on March 4th. If the doctor confirms everything is clear, Yuan-Kuo and his wife plan to return to South Africa in mid-March to continue his recovery. Please pray for God’s guidance in their path and that their travel will not be affected by the conflict in Iran.
Health & Ministry: Please pray for Yuan-Kuo’s medical check-ups in early March regarding his heart and liver, as well as his orthopedic follow-up. Also, please pray for his ministry schedule involving two fellowships and one church. May the Lord grant him sufficient grace.
Church Services: Please continue to pray for the Sunday video worship services. Pray for Yuan-Kuo as he prepares his sermons and for the brothers and sisters to remain steadfast in their gathering. May God bless the Cape Town Chinese Christian Church.
Hui-ling’s
Mother: A growth was found on Hui-ling’s mother’s head. A biopsy has been
performed, and the results will be available on March 11th. Please pray for a
report of peace and health.
