一趟沐恩 D 旅行程!!

It's been a while since we got back ... (令人難忘的城市 !) -- Part 1 --

You may be wondering which city i was referring to;
1) ChangHua (YuanLin)
2) ChiaYi (PuZi)

(See the map on the left)

We've been preparing for the trip for some time - VBS-like activity-packed program, craft creation, sing-along hymn practice, and many many little things and got-chatches that you got to learn on the journey.

Day 1
Here we arrived at the city ..., (a BIG thanks to brother Caleb, for offering to "minivan" us down to ChangHua city, since driving at local places is no strange thing to him)


Motocycles (摩托車), street banner hanging on both sides of the road, and the city power lines wiring right above your head, etc. However, it's the people that matters on this trip - they need to know the Lord!

We did get lost abit (Sign, 沒辦法 ) given we have the street address and the map printed from the internet map service site. But still ...

(Speaking of iMap, allow me to share this link ( http://www.map.com.tw/) - personally I think it's cool for the local map info)

Upon arriving the city, one thing strikes me noticeably is the summer heat; With the high humidity (炎熱潮濕), the non-stop sweating can be tough to deal with.

Anyhoo... here we are - arriving at the main gate!

The picture is actually quite different from what I originally had in mind.
In the heart of the ChangHua downtown area, this church holds a very strtegic place, may I add. 用心的人體會到 ... this place can 提供 outreach 活動演出的空間.

However, we're ready to check in... and hungry too. :)

After lodging is done, we received a great deal of hospitality -- here we are -- at the local noodle restaurant 麵 飯店/餐廳 right across the street/ 美食街.

In the hours of 炎炎夏日, what more can you ask for a cup of Bopa (珍珠奶茶)? 1 US$1 a cup! (mmm... 不錯的選擇 !)

During the lunch hour, the team simply get to know each other like... 老朋友一樣. (you can only explain it as "可以比擬 ... 在耶穌基督內", so that we can 與人分享)

Now that we are fed - time to settle down and started to check out the facility and get ready for the decoration and preparation for the English Gospel Camp(英文福音營). And it's 2:45PM (or may have been 3:00PM)

One of the challenges is that we have over 90 kids who have registered!
PTL!! 歸榮耀與　神! And now we deal with the problem - a good one.

When we walk around the building - trying to decide how to utilize the 空間, we quickly realize that we surely need helping hands given the number of kids in each age-group.

What do you do?

A parable quickly came up - 沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋!
Plus, "我們日用的飲食、天天賜給我們。"

The arrangement is "this and that". 大致上就決定了; We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
Some brainstorming sessions are planned;

Meanwhile, I quickly discover my problem - that is 出汗不停. Later, that evolves into some "rash" problem.

-- Part I --

[ more to come ]
It's got to a point that 蠟燭兩頭燒 is a term that fits perfectly what we ended up experiencing at the field.


[To Be Continued]
