我們的信心英雄 Scott Green

親愛的弟兄姊妹:

相信大家還記得 Scott 在教會30週年聚會時跟我們分享他的病況,感激大家為他的禱告。最近他們收到醫生的報告,顯示病情再度惡化,醫生決定 Scott 已經進入寧養治療階段,意思就是臨終關懷,醫生表示 Scott 的生命只剩下二至三個月的時間。這消息實在令我心也碎了,相信也必定讓你們感到悲傷。

Scott 和 Lynne 是香港教會的創始人,他們一直都是我們的信心英雄,也是我們當中很多人的好友,他們在我們心中和生命中留下了永恆的影響;我更相信 Scott 是神忠心良善的僕人,他一生都在追求屬神的夢想,更為神在中國建立了穩固的屬靈根基,為神打了一場美好的勝仗。

Lynne 在給我們的訊息中寫了以下的一段:
“We are doing well with each other, cherishing each moment, and with God. I have promised to hold tight to Scott’s hand until Jesus grabs it and I must let go.”
「我們之間的關係非常好,珍惜每一個跟神和跟對方一起的時刻,我答應他會緊緊握著他的手,直到最後當耶穌接過他的手那時候,那時候我也必須放手。

香港教會將會永遠感激 Scott 和 Lynne,請大家繼續為 Scott 和他們一家禱告,祈求神帶領他們充滿信心和力量走過這一段時間,讓他們從跟神和彼此的關係中得到平安和喜樂,讓他們生命的影響力繼續在香港、在中國結出屬靈的果子。

「那美好的仗我已經打過了,當跑的路我已經跑盡了,所信的道我已經守住了。從此以後,有公義的冠冕為我存留,就是按著公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的;不但賜給我,也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。」提摩太後書 4:7-8

愛你們的,

Our Hero of Faith- Scott Green

Dear brothers and sisters,
I believe we all remember when Scott shared about his sickness during his speech in the 30th Anniversary ceremony. The Greens received a further report from the doctor lately, saying Scott's condition is getting worse and the doctor has ordered hospice care. Scott has two to three months likely. This news really broke my heart, and I believe will sadden you all.

Scott and Lynne were the founders and are still the heroes of faith to the Hong Kong Church, and good friends to many of us personally. They made an eternal impact on every one of our lives. Scott is a faithful servant of God. He dedicated his life to the dream for God and His kingdom and laid a strong foundation for the churches in China. He has fought a good fight for the Lord.

Lynne says, "We are doing very well with each other, cherishing each moment, and with God. I have promised to hold tight to Scott's hand until Jesus grabs it and I must let go.". 

The Hong Kong Church will be eternally grateful to Scott and Lynne. Please keep on praying for Scott and the Greens' family, for God to lead them to go through this time with faith and strength, for them to have peace and joy through their relationship with God, and for us to keep up the good work on the foundation they have laid for us.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."  (2 Tim 4:7-8)

Love,
