很榮幸也很恩典得以参加墨西哥2014年國際性特會，飛行了18小時（旅程經過30小時），終於抵達克雷塔羅(Querétaro)。克城位於海拔1600公尺的高原，我原以為墨西哥都很酷熱，這裡竟然很凉爽，是富有西班牙風味、很漂亮，且治安良好的城市。 

回想1990年，在愛德華．米勒牧師(Dr. R. Edward Miller)邀請下，我們來到亞特蘭大，在那地奠基了服事的看見。神奇妙地觸摸內心深處，聚會是這樣美好，敬拜中很大的飢渴、也得著很大的飽足，領受無比愛的造就。我們真想留在亞特蘭大，但台灣的異象和差遣在我和師母身上，主對我們說，這裡有的我都給你們，你們回台中去，我的羊我自己會量給你們。 

回到台中，神定意將生命的活水傾倒下來，神果真在台中教會行了奇妙的事，我們羨慕亞特蘭大的豐富，如今，主也把祂名的豐盛賜在台中。無比的愛使我們得就近光，且接待祂，肢體得以在祂的同在中分享神奇妙的美德，生命得醫治、更新，進而被建造，主恩的滋味真是美善。渴慕祂是我們始終要的，因此祂的泉源也就不斷的湧出，外面的風風雨雨，使我們更知隱密居所的可貴。如今已過了24個年頭，在第四個七的第三年，主又有新的作為，與以往不同的是，又有位僕人被差派到此。 

今年二月，約翰．卡洛斯牧師(Pr. Juan Carlos Manzewitsch)在神的差遣裡來到台灣，這是我們始料未及的，他的柔和及謙卑顯出神所作成的工在他生命裡。他在歐美各地開拓了兩百多間教會，原本我以為是他父親在墨西哥先做了開拓工作，而作成今日神在墨西哥的工；後來我才知道，是他年輕時到墨西哥，才開始了在這地的服事。這次特會裡，並有四十位牧人被按牧和差派，是因他的柔和謙卑，神使用了他；因為，溫柔的人必承受地土（太5:5）。 

當我被邀請在這次特會擔任講員，我最高興的（正如當初到亞特蘭大），就是能夠去領受。我好奇的是，短期間開拓出這麼多間教會，一般只看到「量」而沒有看到「質」，因此我期待去「看」遠勝過當講員；主若恩待我，還可以得著主做在他們身上的那份寶貝回來。 

七月終於來到，想不到有l8位主內家人也一同前往墨西哥（有的從台灣出發，有的從美國）。我心裡很高興，因多一些人去搬運那份寶貝，就有更多人能同心建造主在台中教會的新工程，同時他們也承受新的產業。過去的歲月牧人服事兒女，如今，兒女的成長是牧人呼召的延伸，來見證主所要成就的應許。 

特會裡聖靈運行有如當初在亞特蘭大神所作的，我訝異國際異象事奉中心不是「量」而已，這裡也有口清澈的泉源，而且是大口的井——是愛慕的泉源。在最後一天的聚會，我看到1990年神在亞特蘭大做在我身上的水流，不斷滾滾而來、湧流成一江河；神的靈在我身上，我沐浴在其中。一段時間後，聖靈要我起來看祂的運行，這又是另一個很大的滿足，看見人得以享受吃喝主所顯出的榮美，自己享受著，邊吃邊走邊看，心裡吶喊著：好棒！好棒的筵席！當了二十多年的老廚師，現在享用墨西哥年輕廚師烹調的屬靈大餐，我喜歡！我也去看同去的主內家人，他們吃喝的好高興，毫不客氣的飲於這泉源，我心裡喜樂的泉源又滿溢而出。 

正如約翰˙卡洛斯牧師在這時代裡成為主的見證，擴展出福音本是祂的大能。我相信主帶領著我們，要叫我們去贏得祂所要我們得的，去宣揚祂的美德，結盟在基督裡。 

這回去墨西哥，也遇到魯本．托雷斯(Rubén Torres)長老夫婦，他是位企業家、成功的商人，我非常感謝主，讓我們得以因他與約翰．卡洛斯牧師有著認識。他也是位務實、柔和、願意擺上，並且願意為主而流露的僕人。另外也遇見了撒母耳牧師(Pr. Samuel Manzewitsch)，在特會裡神使用他做醫治事奉工作，我們有些交通，明白亞特蘭大教會的一些狀況。我也認識了Dr. Ricky Paris牧師，可感受到他是位很會關懷、很真實、謙卑的牧人。還有負責亞洲區宣教的Bill Byers牧師，是很風趣、隨和的牧人，有機會相信神會帶領他們到台灣服事。 

神總是憐恤台中教會，這教會起初很微小，我不知道愛德華˙米勒牧師為什麼願意到這微小地方來服事我們；如今，約翰．卡洛斯牧師也願意跟我們這微小教會有著結盟，我想是在神新的應許裡，讓我們有屬靈同伴，有更堅強的力量奔跑主道。他們是一群隨和，又堅定在主裡捍衛、開拓先鋒的僕人，與他們連結在基督裡，是在祂的心意計畫中。雖然我們現在看不見神的策略，但我們已經在祂的謀略裡，只要飲於這活水泉，這河水所到之處，百物都必生活（結47:9）。 

正如1990年從亞特蘭大回台中時，我不知道如何傳福音，主自己卻傳開了；照樣的，現在我不知道怎樣去擴張，然而主會將福音再擴展開的；出於祂的，是沒有人可以阻攔的。我不以為得著了，還要不斷的向著標竿直跑（腓3:14）。

It’s a great honor and grace for us to be able to take part in the international conference 2014 in Mexico. After flying 18 hours (altogether,30-hour trip),we finally arrived in Queretaro. It’s located at an altitude of 1800 meters on a plateau. I thought it was hot in Mexico. To our surprise, it’s cool in Queretaro. And it’s characterized for its beauty with Spanish colonial architecture and its good order.

Back to 1990, we were invited by Dr. R. Edward Miller to Atlanta. The vision of our ministry was founded there. God amazingly touched the depth of our heart. The services were wonderful. God satiated the thirst of our heart through worshipping and we received edification of his great love. We really hoped to stay in Atlanta forever. But the vision of Taiwan was upon us and both Naomi and I were sent by the Lord. He said to us:”I’ll give you everything here. Go back to Taichung. I’ll bring my own sheep to you. 

God’s been purposely pouring out life of living water and doing wonderful things in Taichung church. What we’d desired of the abundance in Atlanta, now He’s given the abundance of His name to Taichung. He draws us near to His light and receive it out of His immense love. The members of His body can share the praises of His marvelous light and receive the healing, renewal and edification of life in His presence. The taste of the Lord is good. Keep thirsting for Him and His fountain will be pouring out from the beginning till the end. There’s always rain and storm from the outside. That’s why we know how precious living inside of the secret place is.

It’s been 24 years of Taichung church. At the third year of the fourth seven, He did something new , different from the past. A servant, Pr. Juan Carlos Manzewitsch, was sent here to Taiwan in February, 2014. That was completely unexpected. The meekness and humility appears the work God ‘s done in his life. He’s opened up and developed over 200 churches in Europe and America. At first, I thought it was his father who took the initiative. All the work God’s done in Mexico should be attributed to him. Later I found that Pr. Juan Carlos Manzewitsch was the pioneer of the ministry in Mexico when he was merely a young man.Forty pastors were authorized and sent during this conference.He’s used by God because of his meekness and humility as witten in Mt5:5"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

When I was invited as a speaker this time, the greatest joy of my heart was to receive what I had had in Atlanta. I was curious how so many churches could be developed in such a short time? Normally I can only see the increase in quantity , not in quality. So, I was looking forward to seeing than speaking. If the Lord’s been gracious to me, I can get some treasure God’s done in them back to Taiwan.

Here comes July. It’s hard to imagine that 18 church members would go along with us. Most of them were from Taiwan to Mexico attending the conference. I was glad that more people could go and carry the treasure. Then more can build up the new construction of Taichung church with one accord. Also they will inherit new inheritance when they grow up. As a shepherd, this is the ministry toward children and the extension of a calling to witness the promise He’s going to fulfill.

The movement of the Holy Spirit in this conference was just the same as He did in Atlanta. I was astonished that there is a clear fountain, a big well-a fountain of love in MVI, not just in quantity. At the last service on Sunday, I saw the same flow of the Holy Spirit in Atlanta in 1990 flowing upon me again, overflowing me like a flood. The Spirit of the Lord was upon me and I was immerged in it. After a period of time, the Holy Spirit called me to stand up to see His movement. This was another great joy seeing people enjoy the banquet of the Lord and revealing His glory. I also relished the banquet shouting in my heart ”What a wonderful banquet it is!”

Being a cook for over 20 years, now I can enjoy the Mexican cuisine cooked by a young cook. Then I saw my church members, partakers of the banquet, boldly eating and drinking as much as they could out of a thirsty heart, I was overwhelmed with the fountain of joy.

I strongly believe that the Lord will be leading us to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of us and to proclaim the praises of Him as Pr. Juan Carlos Manzewitsch, the witness of theLord at this generation, has extended the Gospel, the power of God.We ally in Christ.

We’ve met Mr. and Mrs.Rubén Torres, the elder, in Mexico .He is an entrepreneur, a successful businessman. I feel very grateful that we get to know Pr. Juan Carlos Manzewitsch through him.He is a practical and down-to-earth servant, willing to give for the Lord out of a meek and humble heart. We also met Pr. SamuelManzewitsch. God used him to perform the healing ministry in this conference. We had fellowship together and got to know some situation in Atlanta. I also got to know other pastors, like Pastor Ricky Paris, you can feel he‘s a caring, faithful and humble shepherd. And Pastor Bill Byers, in charge of the ministry of evangelism in Asia, he’s an interesting, amiable shepherd. I believe God will bring them to the ministry in Taiwan in the near future.

God’s been merciful to Taichung church. The church was small in the beginning. I didn’t know why Dr. R. Edward Miller would be willing to come to such a small church to serve us. Now,Pr. Juan Carlos Manzewitsch is willing to ally with a small church like us. I think this is a new promise of God to let us have spiritual companions,so we’ll be strengthened to walk in His way. They’re a group of servants, amiable pioneers with strong determination to stick up for the Lord. This is the plan of His purpose to have us ally with them in Christ. Although we can’t see His strategy now,we’re already in it. Keep drinking in this fountain of living water,

“so where theriver flows,everything will live.”(Eze47:9)

I didn’t know how to preach the gospel as I came back to Taichung from Atlanta. The Lord preached Himself . I still don’t know how to open up and develope the gospel,but likewise,the Lord will do it Himself. For nobody can stop Him from outflowing. I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it but press on toward the goal.

禮拜五的青少年詩歌之夜，和主日的聚會，聖靈的運行讓人很訝異，三、四歲的孩童也在聖靈運行的感動裡。

先前這些孩子，在敬拜時並沒有明顯的回應，在聖靈裡他們很乖、不會吵鬧；但禮拜五晚上，很多孩童唱詩歌的聲音比大人更大聲。

感謝主的憐憫，教會幼兒新生代，也在神的開啟裡，相信後面的日子，這些幼兒向著神的心，會更加敏銳。聖靈的作為，讓他們得以脫離人性敗壞的遺傳，而進入祂的美善裡。

願神的作為繼續不斷的發生在這教會裡。感謝主，聖靈的運行從未間斷，天父愛我們，正如耶穌的應許，祂沒有撇下我們為孤兒（約14:18），我們是祂蒙愛的兒女，必在祂同在的眷顧裡。

歡呼！讚美！喜氣洋洋的週日洗禮，令人感受到神的奇妙作為，強力扭轉、改變這群兒女的一生，並祝福著他們，進入到喜樂、平安、更豐盛，在神作為的生活裡。

八十八歲的阿嬤，不斷的被一種怪異聲音攪擾著，到精神科就診，也找不出所以然來。但在懇求耶穌寶血潔淨的禱告、和讀聖經唱詩裡，阿嬤說，那如同放唱片般不停地播放著、讓她深覺痛苦的聲音，就越來越少了。那週聚會崇拜裡，阿嬤就很渴慕神，把雙手按在自己胸膛上，在她的臉上可看到被聖靈觸摸顯出的平安、祥和之氣。不是人的熱心可以去改善她裡面受攪擾來的不安，典型傳統純樸的鄉婦，終於從心深處接受了她不易接受、且排斥的外來洋教。

受洗者有些是年長父母跟著成年子女來教會，兒女是何等切盼父母蒙恩，全家歸主，過著喜樂、同心稱頌享受主、有美好品味優質的信望愛生活，如今是歡呼、美夢成真的日子來到，一切都改變、煥然一新了。 

另有些受洗的孩子，他們的父母敬畏神，父母的心總盼望孩子行在正路裡，在仰望神裡得著智慧和教誨。我相信這些孩子必然蒙恩，神必引領他們的腳步，在這崇尚享受外面物質的世代，盼望這些孩子不是在虛浮中，他們在年輕的時候，就得以明白心境的價值是高過於一切；得著基督也就得著了一切。

有些受洗者，是生活在極努力的打拼裡，隨著歲月下來，身心靈都疲乏了，漸漸發現，外面的高所得並不等同於裡面的富足，心靈正在虛空徬徨時，突然，福音的盼望進入到她裡面，保護著她、改變著她。 

另有受洗者，深感到家庭的重擔，不美滿的生活、突然來的禍患驚嚇，叫她們真是傷心流淚。我相信洗禮這個時刻，是她們扭轉人生的重要時刻，一切的惡煞、不好，會隨著福音的恩典臨到，神必挪開先前的羞辱，叫她們領受從未有過的信心看見，盼望之事的實底和確據，必在她們生命裡建造起來。

在服事裡看到神的作為和聖靈的運行，耶穌如同牧羊人眷顧著這群兒女，使得人生有著奇異的改變，是我在服事中從主所得的最大安慰。主自己為我們成就了大事，保守眷顧了祂的產業，如同老約翰所說的，你看，我們真是祂的兒女。

你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛，使我們得稱為神的兒女；我們也真是祂的兒女。（約壹3:1）

／周明仕牧師

凡事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時。（傳3:1）

正值鳳凰花開時，對有些人而言，這是一個階段的結束，又是另一階段新的開始。多少學子對未來充滿著憧憬，他們的生命就像火紅的鳳凰花，又如同蝴蝶飄逸起來。這是既感傷又是各奔前程的日子。

傳道書是老人感嘆的言語，作者為王，人生輝煌如同鳳凰花般的火紅，晚年感受到日子也有如蝴蝶般的輕逸。榮華富貴覆蓋著他的一生，然而，曾幾何時也難逃老邁，老年的心境如同秋天落葉的感嘆。你的生命是否已到了可感受到他感嘆的言語？

年輕時我們追求夢想，卯足全力去追逐所要的。這期間有人歷經滄桑，有人累垮， 有人外面很有成就、裡面卻有難以告人的失落，有的人擁有很高的地位、卻倍受侮辱的遭丟鞋！辛苦了大半輩子，什麼是我裡面最真實的價值呢？

傳道書的老人之言，讓我深覺屬神兒女有很大的恩典，在有限時間的定期和定時裡，我們沒有漂浮在虛空裡，在每一階段性的時間裡，神都給了我們一個定位——聖靈如同羅盤，在我們一生裡，幫助我們調整生命的方位。從神來的定位，叫我們得以脫離無知的痴心，而在真理上被觸摸，轉而尋求那看不見、卻滿有歡欣的基業。

我認同傳道書裡所說的，日光之下所做的一切都是虛空，因此更深深認識神將永生放在我們裡面，而從永生裡來定位。永生是超越時空的，它的基業是大的，當尋求這時神給你的定位是在哪裡，那你就得以在地上脫離時空的有限，而進入到永恆基業的建造；這都是神在虛空的權勢下，為你我所存留的真實。　

教會是充滿萬有者所充滿的，因此所擁有基業的豐盛，都足以能填滿你在這時刻的勞苦、疲憊、缺乏；是我滿足中的滿足。你是超越時空、在永恆中被揀選的兒女，必能活出祂的豐盛、尊貴、權能、平安、喜樂的優質生活品味來。　

神造萬物，各按其時成為美好，又將永生（原文是永遠）安置在世人心裏。（傳3:11）
