主内列位同道及朋友们平安：
上主日继续讲悔改的重要性。主耶稣有两次提到约拿的事（太十二：40;路十一：29）。上帝用大风浪，大鱼将约拿吞下腹中改变了约拿的心思意念，从歧视外邦人，许愿成为愿意向外邦人传福音的宣教师，他为过去诚实的认错，他悔改之后是表明自己身上有神迹。上帝用约拿三日三夜在鱼腹中指示耶稣也要三日三夜在地里头，上帝将约拿和主耶稣从死里复活的神迹建立关系。因约拿听命顺服，上帝使尼尼微人全城都悔改归向上帝，指出救恩是出於耶和华.信徒若肯听命顺服，先有自己的神迹，上帝就把得救的人数藉着家庭成员信主加给他的教会。
过去曾经提出一个挑战，若每人每年带一人信主，20年后数目是1百零3万2千576人。今日信内附有关怀对象表一张，请分工合作，记得！你自己的改变结出悔改的果子。肯献上，有许愿，就会看到上帝为我们在别人身上行神迹，因救恩永远是出於耶和华（约拿书二：9）。
本主日（11月9日）下午六时陈月华长老见证主恩，传达信息，请鼓励所关怀的对象出席聚会。敬祝多结果子
信望爱聚会全体信徒

Peace to my friends in Christ,
Last Sunday, I continued to speak on the importance of repentance. Twice, the Lord Jesus mentioned about Jonah (Matthew 12:40 and Luke 11:29). God used the big waves, and the big whale to swallow Jonah so as to change his mind. Being someone who discriminated the Gentile, Jonah made vow to become a preacher that was willing to spread gospel to the Gentile, and honestly admit mistakes he made in the past. His repentance was to demonstrate God’s miracles in his life. Through Jonah’s three days and three nights stay in the fish, God implied that Jesus too, has to be under the ground for three days and three nights. God linked the miracles encountered by Jonah with the resurrection of Jesus. Because of Jonah’s submission and willingness to take orders from God, God made the whole city of Nineveh to repent and go to Him. This means salvation is from God. If a believer is willing to obey God and demonstrate God’s miracles in his life, God will increase the member in his Church through the salvation of his family members.
In the past, I have challenged every one of us to bring one person to God every year. The total number of people saved will be 1,032,576 in twenty years time. Attached is a list showing the name of those we need to show our concern, please do our part. Remember! We have to bear our own fruit of repentance through changes in ourselves. With willingness to offer and prayer, you will see God performing miracles in others for our sake, as Salvation is from the LORD (Jonah II: 9).
Elder Ester Tan will testify God’s glory and deliver sermon in this Sunday’s (9 November 2008) service. Please encourage those people of your concern to attend.
I wish we bear more fruits in Christ.
