1.從火中抽出來的一根柴…回想起初的愛
以西結書15：4「看哪，已經拋在火中當作柴燒，火既燒了兩頭，中間也被燒了，還有益於工用嗎？」撒迦利亞書3：2「……這不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎？」元國在3月底預約申辦美國簽證、於6月22日面試！官員對我說的第一句問話：你知道你的申請必須進入Waiver豁免的流程？現在需時會比過去久，可能會要6個月至一年！！第二句問話：你當年(37年前)被判刑4年，你有執行完畢嗎？為什麼兩年8個月就出獄了？[減刑]的英文我不會說，就回答總統下令全部reduce減少1/3刑期、官員教會了我這句英文：commutation of sentences！！第三句問話：你去申請南非無犯罪紀錄補遞上！…Okay！should be fine…感謝神、聖靈透過這件事，引領元國回到起初愛、思想主耶穌奇妙的救恩！並祂豐盛的恩惠、救拔我出黑暗入光明！更賜我恩上加恩來服事祂！一切都是出於神！唯獨恩典

2.學習合一的事奉
以西結書11：19~20「我要使他們有合一的心，也要將新靈放在他們裡面，又從他們肉體中除掉石心，賜給他們肉心，使他們順從我的律例，謹守遵行我的典章。他們要作我的子民，我要作他們的神。」感謝神賜婦女團契恩惠，分享渴慕神話語的恩典、並由Charlene姐妹帶領、每日讀一章聖經活動、並獲得大家同感一靈的響應！大能的婦女們認真的在手機上讀一章聖經發送出去，看見他們如同炭火般的在一起、合一為主焚燒！心中感動更感恩、特別Maggie姐妹為了學英文聖經用英語讀！更讓大家如領受新心、新靈。
感謝神讓元國繼續不斷開課[教會事奉品格](又稱主工人品格)、這次有9位成員固定參加，全部是開普敦教會的！元國向神禱告期望能成立事奉團隊，
感恩大家有一同的看見與領受！聖靈就領我們在這月底，開始一同聚集禱告
為教會能成立同工事奉、建立教會目標來學習，於是我們約定每月最後一週主日崇拜後聚集，以提摩太前、後書教導，願我們能走在神的旨意中，建立合神心意的教會、忠心良善來傳揚主名、以神的話語為準則、一同興旺福音。
以西結書37：26「並且我要與他們立平安的約，作為永約。我也要將他們安置在本地，使他們的人數增多，又在他們中間設立我的聖所，直到永遠。」
每週二晚[教會事奉品格] 第一次教會事奉學習聚集 看查年底營會場地
婦女團契Fu媽媽勳臘肉 一同看查年底營會場
3.救恩、醫治的神
何西阿書6：1~3「來吧，我們歸向耶和華！他撕裂我們，也必醫治；他打傷我們，也必纏裹。過兩天他必使我們甦醒，第三天他必使我們興起，我們就在他面前得以存活。我們務要認識耶和華，竭力追求認識他。他出現確如晨光；他必臨到我們像甘雨，像滋潤田地的春雨。」月中上去勒斯騰堡團契聚會之時段，心中悸動的走在熟習的街上、一方面感恩能好好走路了！更是因要前往為Lin弟兄施洗，他2018年就上好了受洗課卻說要等一等！這一等就是8年，今終於受聖靈感動而歸入基督的名下！願神能讓我走得更好！
我們夫婦求神開啟大學學青福音之門的禱告不停不息，透過Zhang弟兄聯繫，我們到Stellenbosch大學(25公里遠)，拜訪了他女兒和同學Jade，使我們更進一步的了解這所大學華人學生情況，也向她們請教了一些年底福音營會的意見；求神按祂的心意、就是祂的應許！大開福音之門、醫治這地
