∼澳洲／楊美莉校友／2015年12月代禱信

中文　English

親愛的弟兄姐妹們, 收信平安:

將Paul的十二月英文代禱信寄上, 抱歉沒時間翻成中文, 除了以下三點, 請各位繼續依我上一回的代禱信和我們一起仰望神：

1.? 中澳土地工會邀K和Paul與HB社區的人於12月8日下星期二有一次會議, 這是在接獲簽名信後的公開會議, 希望這次真是能公正公平公開, 而HB的人並賓陸人能勇敢地將自己的想法表明, 願 神在我們當中主持這會議, 使結果能榮神益人, 大家的生活可以恢復平靜, 而對 神與福音的認識可以展該新的一頁.

2. 我們的官司如所期待- 簡單直接, 因嫌犯所犯的案最高可判34年, 因此已被收押, 最後的判決時間是明年3月2號, 感謝神!

3. 請在這一段時間裡, 也特別在禱告中紀念我的媽媽（84歲）, 她一人獨居澎湖. 謝謝!
願 神祝福各位！

美莉敬上
