1.傳福音的腳蹤何等佳美
有人問牧師說，這群美麗國的老中們，是來南非觀光的吧？有點酸酸的…
到了短宣隊要離開之時，弟兄姐妹都提醒牧師！他們遠道而來開普敦，你不會沒有帶他們去好望角、桌山、美麗海岸線看看吧！他們說都是自費的啊！
路得記2：12「願耶和華照你所行的賞賜你。你來投靠耶和華以色列神的翅膀下，願你滿得祂的賞賜。」短宣隊到來的第一天，8人座車離合器片就磨壞了！TingTing和Lily姐妹立刻借車使用，因三部小車需要三人駕駛，兒子Clarence作司機就沒有藉口了！耶和華施恩的手幫助我們；…正感恩時，
諾羅病毒感染了短宣隊員，營會中也有幾位弟兄姐妹被感染！耶和華拉法的神都醫治我們！…ChiChi姐妹下樓梯時不慎扭傷腳踝，重度肌肉拉傷！師母慧玲和兒子Dr.Clarence將她送急診打石膏，主賜平安…她選擇回營會！
撒母耳記上3：21「耶和華又在示羅顯現；因為耶和華將自己的話默示撒母耳，撒母耳就把這話傳遍以色列地。」弟兄姐妹很好奇地問短宣隊員們，你們一生努力讀書，留學、移民國外，工作成家，怎麼看都是本本份份的人！你們犯了什麼罪？？…感謝神，在營會中每一位短宣隊員的見證，如何因信耶穌，認罪悔改，得蒙天父上帝創世以來的救恩應許救贖！把美好的福音，耶穌基督並祂釘十字架救恩的見證，不住傳講！使幾位弟兄姐妹生命也再次得到更新，幾位慕道朋友願意來尋求耶穌、信耶穌！願榮耀感恩都歸給主！
2.耶和華的名是應當稱頌的
撒母耳記上12：23~25「至於我，斷不停止為你們禱告，以致得罪耶和華。我必以善道正路指教你們。只要你們敬畏耶和華，誠誠實實地盡心事奉他，想念他向你們所行的事何等大。」還記得上一次舉辦營會是2019年疫情之前的時間了，那時我也還是好手好腳的！…賞賜的是耶和華，收取的也是耶和華…，加入中福團到開普敦城市事奉開拓，已經有一年半的時間了，這次感恩短宣隊來協助之時，也不明白神為什麼又讓我左大腿髖關節崩了！並由醫生排定好在1月21日開刀，再置換左腿人工髖關節手術！使我們教會在經歷營會火熱屬靈澆灌後，神帶領元國返台治病，醫生雖然很樂觀，但仍說需兩個月時間觀察，若一切良好情況，允許元國返回南非繼續復健！可是這一來一去就是兩個月的時間！起初思想請白人牧師幫忙講道，但是除了沒有人可以翻譯之外，教會才剛開始，也沒有同工負責服事主日崇拜！於是經過和弟兄姐妹分享並禱告後，我們求神在這兩個月領我們用網路視頻方式，在網路上舉行主日崇拜，眾弟兄姐妹都同感一靈的接受；…另一方面更感恩的是，差會也積極計畫派人來支援，但礙於簽證問題與時效，最後無法成行！！
我們夫婦就切切禱告，相信神的意念高過我們的意念，神的道路高過我們的道路！…願疲乏的，他賜能力；軟弱的，他加力量…但那等候耶和華的必從新得力。他們必如鷹展翅上騰；他們奔跑卻不困倦，行走卻不疲乏。感謝神讓我們夫婦有如此的經歷後，更加明白堅信是主在掌權！祂作事有定時、按祂時候成就美好事；願神保守祂的教會與祂的兒女們、保守祂的僕人興旺！
