The art of building bridges not walls
By Tiffany Chang

God of peace, Father of comfort, we pray that your kingdom would
come into our hearts and that peace would rule.
Teach us what it means to be peacemakers. Help us cultivale peace
between others and you---in our neighborheeds, offices, schoolrooms.
Teach us the art of building bridges and not walls.
We glorify your name, the great God of peace.

***** No one can become rich without himself enriching others. ---Andrew Carnegie

This Sunday September 17, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Hing Chai Cheng, Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was "Right Priority - Right Living". Right Priority leads to Right Living. Apart from God you can do nothing. The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Pastor Doris Lin.

Mr. David Whitney prayed, announced news, and introduced Mr. John Lei to present the Togo Mission through video. John spoke that, "Enthusiastic responses were shown by the people of the several villages that we visited. In one of them, we had more than thirty of them baptized. We had more than 40 of them during the trip surrendered to believe God. The whole mission was very blessed. They were so joyful. Praise God! God worked with us during the mission through our glorification in His name." The video and presentation were very nice.

"We need and thank sincerely your presence and effort to join River of Life Christian Church's world missions in order to glorify our God," pointed out John.

The 2006 9/10-11/12 Sunday School was held by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu the second week on September 17, 2006. The subject is on the advanced part in the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Many individuals attended the Class enthusiastically.*1

Belinda and his husband Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, had worked for this church for more than ten years. She is also the founder of Double-Portion Ministries ("倍恩事奉中心"):

目前與其夫婿劉彤牧師，在美國加州矽谷生命河靈糧堂牧會，也是倍恩事奉中心創辦人。多年來在教會及婦女中服事，藉著敬拜、教導及在聖靈中的禱告，帶出醫治與釋放的能力，經常在各地帶領專題講座。並且積極推動萬國禱告事工。*2

曾多次帶隊至以色列、土耳其、約旦、摩洛哥等國做禱告行進。喜悅研讀舊約，時常教導聖經課程，從舊約看新約，有教師的恩賜。 並著有「女人的咒詛與祝福」及「為孩子的屬靈品格禱告」之暢銷書。*3

The Women Conference will be held in Septmber 21-23, 2006 at River of Life Christian Church in Santa Clara, California. Mrs. Belinda M. Liu will be one of the most important three Speakers. Please pray for the Women Confernce starting the way that Spirit God will move in meetings and will use every speaker to release His messages to transform the lives of those who come.

"當我想到主耶穌在世上時, 傳天國的福音, 醫病, 趕鬼, 並且主曾說: 我所做的事, 信我的人也要做, 並且要做比這更大的事”( 約翰福音14章12節)。 因此, 每次為人禱告時， 非常期待主所做的事, 今天仍然能發生在我們中間。 感謝神,這些年來,在為人禱告時, 就經歷了有人信耶穌, 有人身體的疾病被醫治, 有人心靈得自由,有人從鬼附中得釋放。 因著我被聖靈充滿的不同階段與歷程，於九二年也開始了服事姐妹們的倍恩事奉中心，十多年來看見許多的姐妹在眼淚、歡笑、膏油中找到了自己的角色與價值，在神的話語中信仰更紮實了，生命的歷練成為祝福的管道，事奉中是那恩膏的器皿，在神的國中是傳好信息的婦女，心中再被激勵，期盼姐妹被建造，成為在這時代神所成就的新事－「女子護衛男子」。" said Mrs. Belinda M. Liu.*4

"Shalom Tony & Judy: 謝謝你那麼鼓勵的話語, 使我心中這兩年來,想要透過網站, 來擴展神國的負擔, 再次被挑旺起來, 這些日子,我真是感到神以厚恩待我, 從小我就是一個很平凡也簡單的人, 也無高深的學歷, 只是有一個做師母的小小心願, 很渴望能服事神, 沒想到這 子真的孕育成長, 能有份於神國的擴張. 我上了WBTI的網頁, 真是太豐富了, 一下子還看不完呢! 這兩週在忙於姐妹特會的籌備事誼, 等過了特會後, 我可是要再細細的閱覽此網站. 我先將我的一點心聲附上, 不知合適與否? 請告知, 我可再有一些預備. 非常謝謝你的讚賞與快速的聯繫, 希望下次我的動作也能快些,能向你看齊. 也附上兩本我的書(主日學時), 請指正! 其實我更欽佩你們, 培育雷高這麼棒的兒子, 是神國的精兵, 也是教會不可少的又忠心又良善的好同工, 使我們蒙福! 願神賜福你們手中的工作盡都榮美! 劉梅蕾師母," wrote Mrs. Belinda M. Liu to President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI and his wife Judy. Praise God!*5

Two books entitled 「女人的咒詛與祝福」and 「為孩子的屬靈品格禱告」, written by Mrs. Senior Pastor Belinda M. Liu, were signed with good wishes and given by her to Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei. They are best sellers and famous. They will become one of the valuable collections of Washinton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

Hallelujah!

By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. The Bible teaches: "... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth ( 1 John 3:18)." District ( Family ) Court Judge Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony Lei that, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed by you as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity for me to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight, and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom, and guaidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishment and achievement have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support, and encouragement." *6

The spirit of both the innovation and entreprenuership has also motivated United States to be a leading and prosperous country. With its high-speed capability, Fiber Optics can convey mass quantity of images and voice information. It is because that the broadband technology such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) has been more and more developed. Moreover, because of the popular building of radio communication networks, wireless techniques may access important information from the web and condense it to be appeared on the small web connecting machines such as a hand-held screen. The open free software LINUX operating system can even connect various stations very easilly. All these advancement in science and technology, should be used to inspire the promotion of the quality of our daily life. In this new era of information and web works, we should add humanity concern into our thinking structures. God created the world. Everything can be decided by Him. As the value of the fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI growing, we the people with intelligence and knowledge in administration, technology, science should enjoy a valuable and joyful life to serve our community and society with our efforts and wisdom.*7

Asking about how to open the file sent us by Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng, Ms. Jenny Long (Ms. Tao Long) wrote on August 23, 2006 that, "I can read all the articles and messages on your website. Maybe you will show me the file when we meet at the church." "I did click through the links on the site that you sent to me. I can open and read all the files there," wrote Jenny on August 22, 2006. In Proverbs 15 : 23 of the Bible, it stated that, "A man finds joy in giving an apt reply --- and how good is a timely word!" Jenny's enthusiastic concern and effort to WBTI have been highly appreciated.

"How do I go about contributing to your website? Must I create a new user-ID & then sign in? Cheers," asked Miss Orchid Soh by e-mail. Orchid was thanked and answered by WBTI that some writing or pictures through the e-mail to us would be highly welcomed.

***** Knowing how to live one's life with Jesus is a great art; and knowing how to hold him fast is the peak of wisdom. ---Thomas A. Kempis (1380-1471)

To serve our brothers and sisters with article writing, WBTI used to inform them the draft and asked them for modification or comment. After the draft of an article (on 8/24/06) was informed to John, he replied with an e-mail that, "This is wonderful! Now more people will be blessed. Thank you!"

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

The ServiceMaster Corporration serves as a beautiful example of a company that thoroughly integrates its corporate philosophy and mission into day-to-day affairs. Founded by Marion E. Wade, the story of its conception, genesis and growth is told in Wade's book, God is Counsel. Kenneth T. Wessner, Chairman of the Board of ServiceMaster, states:

"The philosopgy of a company determines the character and nature of business it conducts. The climate of a company is created by the concepts of managing and life that govern its policies and practices. The philosophy of ServiceMaster and the words we used to express that philosophy have been carefully conceived, nurtured, and refined through years of thought, work, and commitment. Our company philosophy is expressed in four objectives. These four staterment are the foundation upon which everything we do is built.

To honor God in all we do.
To help people develop.
To pursue excellence.
To grow profitably.

For the people of ServiceMaster, their work is not merely the making of a living; it is a way of life."

That solid philosophy has helped ServiceMaster become one of the largest cleaning service conglomerates in the world.*8

"It's a pleasure meeting you on this Sunday afternoon again at the River of Life Christian Church. I greatly enjoy our conversation. I'm happy to hear that you had attended the Evangelism Class that I'm teaching on Sunday mornings. The WBTI's website is valuable for its infomative and knowledgeable articles and reports. Thank you for your kind commands and your interest in having me contribute to the information on the WBTI's website," said Kevin Gordon, Esq., in the Fellowship of English Service on August 20, 2006.

Praise God! It's important to receive a thoughtful response soon after last article was updated. The following is an e-mail from Miss Esther Huang to us on August 18, 2006: Thank you Dr. Lei for updating us on the Togo mission trip! As John stated "Glory be to God" they have completed their mission work with success.

Highly blessed by God, The English Service of River of Life Christian Church was growing. The specific charater of the event has been highlighted by the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. During the past several Sundays in 2006, we had Rev. Tong Liu, Rev. Hing-Chai Cheng, Rev. Victor Quon, Mr. Kevin Gordon (Kevin Gordon, Esq.), Pastor Doris Lin (Miss Doris Lin), Mr. Henry Hu, Mr. John Lei, Mrs. Jessica Wong, Mr. Walter Wong, Mr. Patrick Nolan, Ms. Lynn Ling Yang, Miss Vivian Chao, Miss Frances Chang, Miss Mariany Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Anothny Tsai, Ms. Cathy Tsai, Miss Christina (Ping) Tsai, Mr. Victor Luo, Miss Tine Lo, Mr. Gino Ko, Miss Angel Ku, Miss Prudy Yu, Miss Orchid Soh, Mr. Meung Kim, Miss Esther Huang, Miss Vera Suherman, Miss Nicole Ying, Miss Emily Ho, Miss Heidi Hsu, Mr. Arthur Quach, Yee Tuck Yong, Miss Merry Xiao, Ms. Tao Long, Mr. and Mrs. John Perrott, Mr. Roland On, Mrs. Jennie Quon, Ms. Cindy Chien, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Wu, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Komashko, Ms. Anna Wen, Ms. Abby Komashko, Miss Christine Tsai, Mr. and Mrs. David Whitney, Ms. Merreyl Whitney, Ms. Jenny Long, Ms. Cindy Barnes, Ms. Elaine Tran, Dr. and Mrs. Tony Tung-tien Lei, and among others (names in random). The atmosphere of the Fellowship was pleasent and friendly. Hallelujah!

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ; How to Become a Christian" and "How to Receive Jesus Christ as Your Savior and Thus Become a Christian" written by Kevin P. Gordon, Esq., were posted in this section on August 8-9, 2006. "I will leave for Togo, Africa tomorrow afternoon for a mission trip" written by John K. Lei and Jennifer Kung was also posted the next day.

Brothers and Sisters from the English Service responded with applauses:

"Dear Dr. and Mrs. Lei, Sorry for replying late. It was very nice meeting you on last Sunday afternoon at church. I appreciate your and John’s contributions to the Coffee/Tea Fellowship of English service. Thank you for your loving heart to each brother and sister. I will continue praying for John's mission trip at Togo. I'm sure the more he preaches the Gospel the more he will receive from God; with your support and love, this trip will be more meaningful and joyful to John," wrote Miss Merry Xiao on August 17, 2006. "Thank you for introducing me Kevin's articles. Actually I'm attending his Evangelism class on Sunday school. These articles are good notes for me . He is a great teacher for this class. His teachings are not only from the Bible and books but also from his experiences and testimonies in preaching the Gospel. I was impressed by his knowledge about the Bible and his passion on proclaiming the Gospel. May many people will be blessed by God through you. See you this Sunday."

"Dear Dr. Lei, It was very nice talking with you on Sunday at River of Life Christian Church. Thank you for your and your wife for providing food for the reception after the church service. I have attached the final versions of the two papers that I have written. They are both on the topic of how someone can receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and thus become a Christian. One is a two page version and one is a longer eight page version. Thank you for all of your help," wrote Kevin Gordon, Esq. After the articles were posted, he wrote again that "Thank you for posting my articles on the WBTI's website."

"Thanks. Here is the power point for last Sunday sermon. God bless you," wrote Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng.

"Thank you for passing this web. Yes, it is very nice to have you and auntie in this fellowship. And, your serving heart," wrote Miss Mariany Lee.

"Thank you for the information that you sent to me. I would like to write something to supporting our brothers and sister in the media, but my english writing is very bad. So let me learn more first than I would write in the media. Thanks God that you and Mrs. Lei joining our church and have participation in the serving God. May God bless all your family," wrote Miss Tine Lo.

"Thanks a lot for your message. The WBTI website is very nice. It contains a huge amount of information. Great!" wrote an e-mail from Ms. Lynn Ling Yang to us.

After taking a look at the WBTI's website, Ms. Savina Kao wrote to us that "It is great to get to know you and your wife on Sunday. Now I know why John becomes such an outstanding young man. :) It's also wonderful to know that your organization has been serving the community and our country. I hope we will get a chance to chat again on Sundays."

"A man finds joy in giving an apt reply --- and how good is a timely word!" --- Proverbs 15 : 23 of the Bible

***** Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm. ---Tom Peters

The Coffee/Tea Fellowship of the four Sundays in August, 2006 were highlightened by the "to serve and to give heartily" of Lei's family: John helped promote the Sevice and Fellowship. Judy coocked the whole things of the "Chau Mien" (chau noddles) and prepared the salad. Tony has inspired the the spirit and value of the English Service and Fellowship of River of Life Christian Church through publications locally, natioally, and internationally.

Miss Vivian Chao joined Judy in preparing for the food of the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. She prepared the fruits and cakes.

Ms. Elaine Tran served the food for English Service Fellowship on September 2006.

As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present. Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to his or her selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.*9

Therfore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or your in the Hell.

Accordng to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.

After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"

Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!" *10

"Thank God for His grace. What a special year! Double Portion Ministry has invited two famous worldwide female speakers to the women conference. It is such a wonderful blessing to our church. I deeply believe that God has a unique purpose for our church. We must rise up for the Lord. There are seven hundred people registered for the women conference at this time. It's almost like the Ling-Liang Conference. I want to thank everyone who serve in the ministry as well as the brothers who support behind the scene for their wives to come out and serve. May the Lord reward you. Let's pray together in unity for the conference, ask God to move among us to transform the lives of those who come," pointed out Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*11

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
--- Galatians 5:22 of the Bible

To a friend's house the road is never long. Let's share together with some of the golden words about firendship from the Bible:
***** Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. ---Romans 12:10
***** Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. ---Proverbs 27:9
***** Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. ---John 15:13-15
***** He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. ---Proverbs 22-11*12

U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to inspire and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to America to seek the American dream. Even though not all of them can realize their American dream, eventually they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions to our country.*13

As a born-again Christian, people have been inspired by his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just his wealthy and handsome appearance now. On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was very frustrated with his first taste of political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. However, he believes God and has surrendered his fate to God. John's faith in God helped him to overcome his frustration and disappointment and enabled him to continue to strive to succeed. The Bible says "...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7)". If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a different door for those who are eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. As all

For many years, we taught people successfully to make money through the modern knowledge of organization and management in business. For the years to go, we will continue to encourage our friends to love the God, and to love our people, professionalism, community, and country.*14

"Incentives (of love) brings us with encouragement. Encouragement brings us with good work performance. In the 5:19 on Ecclesiastes of the Bible, it stated that 'When God gives any man (or woman) wealth and possessions, and enable him (or her) to enjoy them, to accept his (or her) lot and be happy in his (or her) work---this is a gift of God,'" said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*15

In this 21st Century new era and society, we need economic growth and personal prosperity, but we need also to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and silver country through: the power of public service that based on knowledge is the power of rightousness; the advancement of technology, entreprenueship, and innovation; and the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service.*16

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*17

Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." --- Matthew 7:24-25 of the "Bible"

Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*18

Congratulations! The grand opening of Wang Foundation's website
Wang Foundation is advancing international exchange and service learning
By Dr. Peter C. C. Wang and Tiffny Chang

Established in 2004, the Wang Foundation is a non-profit organization that advances international exchange and service learning as key elements in shaping our global future. The Foundation's current focus is to represent Tsinghua University's School of Continuing Education in the development of a consortium of US colleges and universities that will nominate student and faculty participants to Tsinghua's Poverty Alleviation Project through Service Learning Program.*1

The Foundation's first step towards meeting this goal was the July 2006 launching of the Service Learning Program (SLP) in China with over 450 participants. Built on the premise that a more just and peace-filled world is attainable through college students engaging cross culturally in service learning projects, the SLP helps future Chinese and U.S. leaders become more effective global citizens.

The Foundation envisions supporting up to 2,000 participants for the 2007 SLP.

We are pleased to receive the e-mail from Dr. Peter C. C. Wang in the morning on Sptember 14, 2006. He wrote that, "Dear friends of Wang Foundation, I would like to share with you our brand new web site just finished as of yesterday.*2

www.wangfoundation.net

Sending my best wishes to you in a new school year."

Dr. Peter C. C. Wang is Chairman and President of Wang Foundation.

The following will be the Upcoming Events of Wang Foundation:

Alleviating Poverty Through Service Learning: A New Paradigm For International Education

Working collaboratively under the sponsorship of the Wang Foundation, Tsinghua University and the University of Washington are forming a consortium of institutions interested in further developing effective poverty alleviation program models that utilize interdisciplinary approaches to distance education, service learning and intercultural exchange.

********************************************
International Symposium on Poverty Alleviation
Tsinghua University
Beijing, China
November 14-16, 2007

Poverty Alleviation Through International Service Learning

Bringing together global visionaries from around the world, the symposium invites leaders in academia, commerce, government and civil society to explore innovative ways to incorporate international exchange and service learning as key components in developing effective poverty alleviation programs in China. Program models developed during this symposium will serve as prototypes for programs that can be replicated and expanded in other regions of the world.*4

********************************************

Wang Foundation has developped
the Service Learning Program In China:

The "Service Learning Program in China" brings together American and Tsinghua University students who live and work side-by-side while providing critical educational resources to the poorest regions of China. Service Learning Scholarships provided by Wang Foundation and Tsinghua University enable hundreds of American and Tsinghua University students to learn about each other's cultures, practice global citizenship and mitigate chronic poverty at the grass roots level. First launched in 2006, the program has already become a successful model for expansion and duplication throughout China.*5

In his article entitled "An Invitation to Build A Better World," Ron Moffatt, President-Elect of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, stated that:

"As an international educator who spends each day helping students cross borders to learn about the world beyond their comfort zones, I am always seeking better ways to guide them through transformative journeys that will eventually shape our global future." *6

He pointed out that, "I recently rediscovered the power of such hope. The gift came in the form of a lesson taught by a kind and scholarly couple who befriended me and showed me what true heart space is capable of achieving. I am forever grateful to Peter and Grace Wang for providing so many wise answers to my core questions and for helping me see where I must invest my energies. The stone dissolved when I took the first step. Their vision of poverty alleviation through education has been a profound source of inspiration for me personally, and their boundless commitment to improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people has driven much of my professional focus for the past year."

"Preserving the planet for our children and grandchildren speaks to our deepest aspirations, no matter what culture, religion, or ideology we embrace or espouse. We citizens of the Earth community have a tremendous responsibility and a unique power to act together. As the daunting social, political, and environmental costs of globalization continue to escalate and imperil our global future, we must foster global awareness and compassion whenever and wherever we have an opportunity. How we respond to the challenges before us in the next five-to-ten years could change the future of our planet more profoundly than any other period in history. We must act now to create a new generation of global citizens who will shape a more just, more peaceful and more sustainable world for all."

The author concluded: The Wang Foundation offers a way forward and we're just getting started. Why not join the journey and build a better world?*7

It is a pleasure of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) to recognize those outstanding individuals, groups, or programs which enrich the lives of many in our community all around the world.*8

The only way to have a friend is to be a friend
By Jennifer Kung and PAI of WBTI

A friend is one who knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts you have become, and still gently invites you to grow. Joseph Newton said that, "People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges." We need friends, but friendship needs care. Friendship is not only a union of spirits, but also a pleasing game of interchanging praise. Life is to be fortifid by many friendships. To like someone, and to be liked by someone, is a great pleasure of daily life

We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:

***** A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. ---Walter Winchell
***** The only way to have a friend is to be a friend. ---Ralph Waldo Emerson
***** I am wealthy in my friends. ---William Shakespeare
***** A friend in need is a friend indeed. ---Annoymous
***** If you want to win a man to your cause, you must first convince him you are his friend. ---Abraham Lincoln

It's our pleasure to post a short story and quotation from "Speaker's Source Book" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

A. How to make friends

Dale Carnegie said, "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interest in you." To drive home his point. Carnegie tells how dogs have learned the fine art of making friends. When you get within ten feet of a friendly dog, he will begin to wag his tail, a visible sign he enjoys your presence. If you take time to pet him, he will become excited and lick and jump all over you to show how much he appreciates you. the dog became man's best friend by being genuinely interested in people.

Friendship is the result of our efforts to be interested in what's going on in people's lives.*2

B. What is a friend?

A friend is someone who concerned with everything you do.
A friend is someone to call upon during good and bad times.
A friend is someone who understands whatever you do.
A friend is someone who knows what you are going through at all times.
A friend is someone who does not compete with you.
A friend is someone who is genuinely happy for you when things go well.
A friend is someone who tries to cheer you up when things don't go well.
a friend is an extension of yourself without which you are not complete.
Thank you for being my friend.*3

Some good idea for leading skills
By Jennifer Kung

With more good personal traits, we shall be more easy to be a leader. In a Nutshell, Be a Leader, Dale Carnegie put the following suggestions in his book entitled "How to Win Friends & Influence People":

"A leader's job often includes changing your people's attitudes and behavior.*1 Some suggestions to accomplish this:

Principle 1
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Principle 2
Call attention to people's mistakes indirctly.
Principle 3
Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
Principle 4
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Principle 5
Let the other person save face.
Principle 6
Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be 'hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.'
Principle 7
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up tp.
Principle 8
Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
Principle 9
Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest." *2

In our real world, people are led by leaders. A successful leader is consistently follwed by others. People follow because they have a belief in the direction, intergrity, and competence of the one leading.

We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people's development as well as his own. ---Fred Pryor
***** To be a leader means willingness to risk--and willingness to love. Has the leader given you something from the heart? ---Hubert H. Humphrey
***** The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between the leader is a servant. ---Max Dupree; "Leadership Is an Art"

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

I went on a search to become a leader.
I searched high and low. I spoke with authority. People listened. But alas, there was one who was wiser than I, and they follow that individual.
I sought to inspire confidence, but the crowd responded, "Why should I trust you?"
I postured, and I assumed the look of leadership with a countenance that flowed with confidence and pride. But many passed me by and never noticed my air of elegance.
I ran ahead of the others, pointed the way to new heights. I demonstrated that I knew the road to greatness. And then I looked back, and I was alone.
"What shall I do?" I queried. "I've tried hard and used all that I know." And I sat down and pondered long.
And then, I listened to the voices around me. And I heard what the group was trying to accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the work.
As we worked, I asked, "Are we all together in what we want to do and how to get the job done?"
And we thought together, and we fought together, and we struggled towards our goal.
I found myself encouraging the fainthearted. I sought the ideas of those too shy to speak out. I taught those who had little skill. I praised those who worked hard. When our task was completed, one of the group turned to me and said, "This would not have been done but for your leadership."
At first, I said, "I didn't lead. I just worked with the rest." And then I understood, leadership is not a goal. It's a way to reaching a goal.
I lead best when I help others to go where we've decide to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves creatively. I lead best when I forget about myself as leader and focus on my group...their needs and their goals.
To lead is to serve...to give...to achieve together.

He has been active in groups fighting domestic violence and also has served on a variety of law-related groups, including two years on the Nevada Law Foundation Board and seven years on the State Bar of Nevada, Southern Disciplinary Board.

Justice Douglas, who is married and has a daughter and two grandchildren, has been a longtime supporter of the youth in California and Las Vegas. He was a sports volunteer and coach and has been a frequent speaker at Las Vegas area schools.

To come home to our Lord in that beatiful path that He has already carved out for us
By Tiffany Chang

You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me ...
Where can I go from your spirit?
or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.

Psalm 139:5, 7-8

***** Knowing how to live one's life with Jesus is a great art; and knowing how to hold him fast is the peak of wisdom. ---Thomas A. Kempis (1380-1471)

This Sunday September 10, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was "Messengers of Hope". You do have a choice. You have a choice of Hope. We'll always have a new beginning. Lord is our Hope. The Lord is our eternal Hope! The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Paster James Wong.

The 2006 9/10-11/12 Sunday School was held by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu the first week on September 10, 2006. The subject is on the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Many enthusiastic individuals attended the Class.*21

We need to love and we need to be loved. We should love one another with the love of Jesus. The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Scott Wu.

By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. The Bible teaches: "... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth ( 1 John 3:18)." District ( Family ) Court Judge Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony Lei that, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed by you as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity for me to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight, and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom, and guaidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishment and achievement have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support, and encouragement." *19

The spirit of both the innovation and entreprenuership has also motivated United States to be a leading and prosperous country. With its high-speed capability, Fiber Optics can convey mass quantity of images and voice information. It is because that the broadband technology such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) has been more and more developed. Moreover, because of the popular building of radio communication networks, wireless techniques may access important information from the web and condense it to be appeared on the small web connecting machines such as a hand-held screen. The open free software LINUX operating system can even connect various stations very easilly. All these advancement in science and technology, should be used to inspire the promotion of the quality of our daily life. In this new era of information and web works, we should add humanity concern into our thinking structures. God created the world. Everything can be decided by Him. As the value of the fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI growing, we the people with intelligence and knowledge in administration, technology, science should enjoy a valuable and joyful life to serve our community and society with our efforts and wisdom.*20

To serve our brothers and sisters with article writing, WBTI used to inform them the draft and asked them for modification or comment. After the draft of an article (on 8/24/06) was informed to John, he replied with an e-mail that, "This is wonderful! Now more people will be blessed. Thank you!"

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

Twenty-five centuries ago, Lao-tse, a Chinese sage, offered this profound insight;
"The reason why rivers and seas receives the homage of a hundred mountain streams is that they keep below them. Thus they are able to reign over all the mountain streams. So the sage, wishing to be above men, putteth himself below them; wishing to be before them, he putteth himself behind them. Thus, though his place be above men, they do not feel his weight; though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury."
So it is with humankind. Those who wish to yield the greatest influence will unselfishly position themselves below others, so as to serve them better.
Bruce Barton told a parable two seas in Palestine that expounds on the wisdom of Lao-tse. One sea is flesh. Fish live in it. Trees and bushes grow near it. Children splash and paly in it. The river Jordan flows into this sea with sparkling water from the hills. People build their homes near it. Every kind of life is happier because it is there. The same river Jordan flows south into another sea. Here there are no fish, no green things, no children playing, no homes a building. Stale air hangs above its waters, and neither man nor beast will drink of it. What makes the difference between these neighbor seas? Not the Jordan River. It empties the same good water into both. Nor is the soil or the countryside.
The differnece is that the Sea of Galilee receives water but does not keep it. For every drop that flows in, another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea hoards its income. Every drop it gets it keeps. The Sea of Galilee lives and lives. The other sea gives nothing. It is called the Dead Sea.
There are also two kinds of people in this world---those Dead Sea people who take without giving back, and the givers who remain fresh and vibrant by freely sharing of themselves.*1

"It's a pleasure meeting you on this Sunday afternoon again at the River of Life Christian Church. I greatly enjoy our conversation. I'm happy to hear that you had attended the Evangelism Class that I'm teaching on Sunday mornings. The WBTI's website is valuable for its infomative and knowledgeable articles and reports. Thank you for your kind commands and your interest in having me contribute to the information on the WBTI's website," said Kevin Gordon, Esq., in the Fellowship of English Service on August 20, 2006.

John was back home at 3:57 p.m. in the afternoon on August 19, 2006 from the Church Mission to Togo, Africa.

"Everything is fine, we are ready to leave Paris to san francisco. See you soon," wrote John in his latest e-mail during the Mission trip to Togo. [Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 01:53:02 -0700]

Praise God! It's important to receive a thoughtful response soon after last article was updated. The following is an e-mail from Miss Esther Huang to us on August 18, 2006:
[[[Thank you Dr. Lei for updating us on the Togo mission trip!
As John stated "Glory be to God" they have completed their mission work with success. Although initially there were some hindrance during departure, but we serve an awesome God who make the impossible possible, who turns what was meant for bad into good.
Can't wait to hear details about Togo mission trip when the team arrives home!
See you and Mrs. Lei at church!]]]

Brothers and Sisters from the English Service responded with applauses:

"Dear Dr. and Mrs. Lei, Sorry for replying late. It was very nice meeting you on last Sunday afternoon at church. I appreciate your and John抯 contributions to the Coffee/Tea Fellowship of English service. Thank you for your loving heart to each brother and sister. I will continue praying for John's mission trip at Togo. I'm sure the more he preaches the Gospel the more he will receive from God; with your support and love, this trip will be more meaningful and joyful to John," wrote Miss Merry Xiao on August 17, 2006. "Thank you for introducing me Kevin's articles. Actually I'm attending his Evangelism class on Sunday school. These articles are good notes for me . He is a great teacher for this class. His teachings are not only from the Bible and books but also from his experiences and testimonies in preaching the Gospel. I was impressed by his knowledge about the Bible and his passion on proclaiming the Gospel. May many people will be blessed by God through you. See you this Sunday."

"Dear Dr. Lei, It was very nice talking with you on Sunday at River of Life Christian Church. Thank you for your and your wife for providing food for the reception after the church service. I have attached the final versions of the two papers that I have written. They are both on the topic of how someone can receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and thus become a Christian. One is a two page version and one is a longer eight page version. Thank you for all of your help," wrote Kevin Gordon, Esq. After the articles were posted, he wrote again that "Thank you for posting my articles on the WBTI's website."

"Thanks. Here is the power point for last Sunday sermon. God bless you," wrote Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng.

"Thank you for passing this web. I've never known that Kevin has posted our church article in the web (The two articles were written by Kevin for WBTI's website). Yes, it is very nice to have you and auntie in this fellowship. And, your serving heart," wrote Miss Mariany Lee. "I'll pray for John trip to Togo. He would be a blessing and he would receive blessings, as well. Please let me know, if you or auntie needs assistance or help."

"Thank you for informing me that you have updated an article on the WBTI website. As John stated, with the list we will be able to pray specifically for our church's mission team to Togo. ...

I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts regarding the articles I have read on the WBTI's website. Give me sometime time to reflect on what I have read� I will send you 'a few words'," wrote Miss Esther Huang.

"Thank you for the information that you sent to me. I would like to write something to supporting our brothers and sister in the media, but my english writing is very bad. So let me learn more first than I would write in the media. Thanks God that you and Mrs. Lei joining our church and have participation in the serving God. May God bless all your family," wrote Miss Tine Lo.

After taking a look at the WBTI's website, Ms. Savina Kao wrote to us that "It is great to get to know you and your wife on Sunday.

"A man finds joy in giving an apt reply --- and how good is a timely word!" --- Proverbs 15 : 23 of the Bible

***** Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm. ---Tom Peters

The Coffee/Tea Fellowship of the four Sundays in August, 2006 were highlightened by the "to serve and to give heartily" of Lei's family: John helped promote the Sevice and Fellowship. Judy coocked the whole things of the "Chau Mien" (chau noddles) and prepared the salad. Tony has inspired the the spirit and value of the English Service and Fellowship of River of Life Christian Church through publications locally, natioally, and internationally.

Miss Vivian Chao joined Judy in preparing for the food of the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. She prepared the fruits and cakes.

As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present. Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to his or her selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.*2

Therfore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or your in the Hell.

Accordng to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.

After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"

Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!" *3

With honor as the Assistant Democratic Leader (now the Democratic Leader) of U. S. Senate, Senator Harry Reid wrote Dr. and Mrs. Tony Tung-tien Lei on January 11, 2001 from his office in Washington, D. C.: "The holiday season is a time for remembering the good things that have happened during the year, for reflecting on the many blessings of our lives, and for renewing the bonds of love and friendship that make our lives special." *4

The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. Our first child, Lana, and our three grandchildren live in the Washington area. Roary and three more of our grandchildren live in Las Vegas. Leif is in Reno with two more grandchildren and have just told us another is on the way.

Josh just passed the bar, is living in Reno and also has announced our new daughter-in-law is expecting. Finally, our youngest, Key, lives in the Washington DC area with our newest grandchild. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington." *5

The Bible says: "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26) Take what the Senator said to Dr. Tony Lei in his letter that, "On behalf of Landra and our family, I want to thank you thinking of us during this holiday season. Each holiday greeting reminds us that we are truly fortunate to have so many friends and loved ones with whom to share this special time." And if a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada would be taken care by his extended kindness. And this be our mode: "In God is our trust!"

His love to his family and his friends revealled his dignified and humane spirit through his words in the letter. For a great and powerful person like him to have such a beautiful and kind heart is really the glory of God. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves," says the Bible. (Romans 12:9-10) At the end of the letter, the famous U.S. Senator said that, "The Reid family has been richly blessed and we look forward to the years ahead. I hope that the season brings happiness and good fortune to you and your loved ones. With warmest regards." *6

"Welcome to River of Life Christian Church! We are glad to have you here to worship. ... ," wrote Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*7

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
--- Galatians 5:22 of the Bible

To a friend's house the road is never long. Let's share together with some of the golden words about firendship from the Bible:*8
***** Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. ---Romans 12:10
***** Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. ---Proverbs 27:9
***** Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. ---John 15:13-15
***** He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. ---Proverbs 22-11*9

"... ," pointed out Senior Paster Tong Liu.*10

U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to inspire and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to America to seek the American dream. Even though not all of them can realize their American dream, eventually they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions to our country.*11

As a born-again Christian, people have been inspired by his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just his wealthy and handsome appearance now. On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was very frustrated with his first taste of political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. However, he believes God and has surrendered his fate to God. John's faith in God helped him to overcome his frustration and disappointment and enabled him to continue to strive to succeed. The Bible says "...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7)". If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a different door for those who are eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. As all Christians acknowledge - with God, anything is possible.*12

"... ," concluded Rev. Tong Liu in his message.*13

For many years, we taught people successfully to make money through the modern knowledge of organization and management in business. For the years to go, we will continue to encourage our friends to love the God, and to love our people, professionalism, community, and country.*14

"Incentives (of love) brings us with encouragement. Encouragement brings us with good work performance. In the 5:19 on Ecclesiastes of the Bible, it stated that 'When God gives any man (or woman) wealth and possessions, and enable him (or her) to enjoy them, to accept his (or her) lot and be happy in his (or her) work---this is a gift of God,'" said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*15

In this 21st Century new era and society, we need economic growth and personal prosperity, but we need also to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and silver country through: the power of public service that based on knowledge is the power of rightousness; the advancement of technology, entreprenueship, and innovation; and the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service.*16

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*17

Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." --- Matthew 7:24-25 of the "Bible"

Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*18

To forge an effective relationship with those above you and Modern Stratagem
By Tiffany Chang

Leadership does not necessarily exit only in the top ladder. We could feel it from many places. People may extend his or her leadeship in a mutual existance. Anyone who can bring us with a positive and effective idea and plan and give others a breakthrough with inspiration for their difficult circumstances may be treated as a leader.

To find a potential and good leader and to inspire and build up him or her is a valuable and important thing.

"MANAGING UP shows what you can learn when you keep your eyes and ears open and happen to work for/with a terrif boss. Great lessons for leaders here, managing up, down, and sideways," said Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business at the University of South Carolina about the book written by Rosanne Badowski in 2003. The book is entitled "How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You."

The Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada, Dr. Tony Lei, received by air mail on February 22, 1997 a book named "Modern Stratagem" The book was written and sent by Professor Tu Lin.

In the preface, Dr. Ko-wang Mei pointed out that: It is the person who uses stratagem to face problem and chellenge and to integrate a project or principle for processing of problem solving. Most of famous stratagems in the human history were used on politics and military. From its broad significance, in order for a person to successful both in production and human relations, he or she needs stratagem to attain his or her objectives. The Chinese idiom of "Action after taking stratagem" may show the good understanding of the above meaning.

The book entitled "Modern Stratagem" was written by a Chinese, while the book entitled "How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You" is written by an American. The latter talks about "Managing Up" in a business. The following are some of its principles:

Principles of Managing Up
"* Managing is not the exclusive property of MBA grads.
* At times we are all managers, and we are all support staff; managers have to roll up their sleeves and get in the trenches.
* Those who manage up have to think--and act-- like managers.
* A good managers is a student of cause and effect.
* It's not good enough to be aware of what's happening around you; you have to know why it's happening.
* If you're not helping, you're hindering.
* Ask yourself: Did the work I performed today help achieve a goal?
Common Sense Takeaways
* Your boss's agenda comes first. Period.
* When those above you win, you win.
* It's people! Organizations don't run on money, products, or procedures.
* Trust your instincts-- they are based on a lot of experience. Then again, don't always trust instincts.
* Go ahead, take a swing: Better to be too bold than too timid."*1

The first of the above two books was prefaced by Dr. Ko-wang Mei, the former President of Tunghai University and now the President of Taiwan Regional Development Institute.

Dr. Mei believed that: The successful degree of a stratagem can not be depended only on individual's wisdom, knowledge,and experience. It has its team works, integrity, scientific background, and philosophic thought. Therefore, there never appears a stratagem in an emptiness. It needs deliberate planning and logic thinking. The large the area of stratagem and the deeper of the degree of a stratagem, the large and deeper the need for information collection and analysis. In the recent half of the century, it is one of the most important subject in 'The study of Administration'. In a practical and general speaking, 'stratagem' is 'decision making' in a promotional sense. In order to have a stratagem effective, efficient, and perfect, the conclusion of a stratagem should be attained through scientific collection, analysis, judgment, study of information. It is why the 'Stratagem' is an important and useful study.

Its good to have some inspiration on the findings of some of the chapters of the second book:

"Preparedness Takeaways
* By seeing thing from someone else's perspective, you'll be better able anticipate what will be needed in the future.
* Share what you know. This was the centerpiece of Jack Welch's GE. We shared ideas, best practices, and information.

People who hoard knowledge hunt the company.
*Be ready to improvise.
*Stay on top of current events, not just concerning your company but the international business community. It will help give context to what you do, and it's a good conversation starter.
Communication Takeaways
*Communication is more than a management tool--it is a catalyst for change.
*Don't be afraid to ask. And then ask again.
*Question yourself constantly; if you don't like your answers, do something about it.
*Be a loudmouth--one whose ideas and messages get spread through every level of your business.
*Nagging doesn't mean you have to be a pain in the neck--but timed correctly, it's very effective.

Teamwork Takeaways
*Celebrate--you deserve to recognize accomplishments.
*Take a central role as team member and team builder.
*Get off your pedestal--no job or task should be dismissed as unimportant or not worthy of attention.
*Share everything--information, knowledge, skills, risk."*2

The author of the first book, late Tu Lin, one of the famous scholar on stratagem, had been many years Professor and Chairman of Safety Department of the Central Police Official University in Taiwan. The author of the second, Rosanne Badowski, was an executive assistant of Jack Welch who retired from GE in September 2001 as its CEO.

"It is 'political strategy' when a stratagem is used in political affairs.It is 'war strategy' when a stratagem is used in military action. It is 'individual strategy' when a stratagem is used by personal affairs. It is 'business strategy' when a stratagem is used by business management. After the second half of 20 century, business management played a very important role around the world. The study of management emphasizes very much the importance of stratagem. Therefore, the world business is now full of the actions of 'Business Stratagem'," said Dr. Mei.*3

As a conclusion on her book, Rosanne summerized it in the following:

The Fun of Managing Up
"Over the years, people have approached me wanting to know what it was like to work for Jack Welch. Did he have some secret to success? And that's why I've tried hard to keep the "bow" of this book pointed into the wind of real life.
Was it a smooth fourteen years? No way.
Was it interesting, exhilarating, and rewarding? For sure."*4

The first book was foreworded by Jack Welch, while in the second book, Dr. Mei recommended that : The "Modern Stratagem" written by Professor Tu Lin is one of the best in the field. It can be a good reference text for persons in political affairs. It is a fine dictionary for military experts. And it can be also effectively used in business management. Finally, it is a very valuable book for an individual to use it as an electric power to brighten his or her career both in production and human relations.

Rosanne continued on her conclusion that "Under the circumstances, managing up was, for me, a survival skill mastered on the job and on the run. But it was not one based on secrets, luck, or genius. For me, managing up came right off the rack, right off the shelf, and right off a list of basic ingredients that are as commonplace as they are priceless:

Chemistry. It's what got us off to a good start and kept us going.

Trust. Trust was what our partnership was built on--and what made our partnership last.

Confidence. The key term to describe Jack--something that propelled his every action.

Impatience. It appears to be a negative, but it gave us the speed to accomplish as much as we did in limitd time.

Energy. It kept us buoyant and helped us persevere.

Resilience. The ability to keep going when a roadblock got in the way.

Humor. It made every day fun, no matter what the circumstances.

Common sense. A lifesaver when it came to tough decisions.

Preparedness. This gave us the edge to rise above the pack.

Adaptability. The ability to embrace change.

Simplicity. In other words, keeping things uncomplicated and easy to understand.

Fairness. Treating people in a way we like to be treated.

Communications. The determination to tell the world and each other what was going on.

Teamwork. It let us bring our friends along--they helped us bail out the boat when the water was rising, and they were there in the end for the party.

Passion and purpose. They are what life, and business, are all about."5

She concluded finally that "Together, these fifteen managing-up ingredients produced an extraordinarily effective working partnership-- and a whole lot of sheer fun. Yes, there I go again--fun. If work isn't fun, there's some-thing wrong. Well-paid drudgery is still drudgery. It's painful and demeaning. By managing up you make an investment that pays a handsome dividend in satifaction and self-respect."6

Dr. Mei recommended that : The "Modern Stratagem" written by Professor Tu Lin is one of the best in the field. It can be a good reference text for persons in political affairs. It is a fine dictionary for military experts. And it can be also effectively used in business management. Finally, it is a very valuable book for an individual to use it as an electric power to brighten his or her career both in production and human relations.*7

The late Tu Lin, one of the famous scholar on stratagem, had been many years Professor and Chairman of Safety Department of the Central Police Official University in Taiwan. Dr. Ko-wang Mei, Professor Tu Lin, and Dr. Tony Lei were good friends for many years. Professor Tu was the Founder and Chairman of Taipei Marketing Research Association on a national basis. He was also Chairman of Board of China File and Micrographic Information Management Institute. In order to promote the collaboration of academy between both sides of China on the pacific ocean, Professor Tu was the Chairman and held the 1966 Seminar on File and Micrographic Academy of both sides of the Straits of Taiwan on November 4-11, 1996.*8

"Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*9

Elegant! Dr. Daphne P. Lei, a distinguished scholar in drama
By Tiffany Chang

***** There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assit another human being---to help someone succeed. ---Alan Loy McGinnis

The following is a bio of Dr. Daphne Lei.*1 You may view her photo with this bio on the website at

http://drama.arts.uci.edu/faculty/lei.html

Ph.D. Tufts University
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University

My intellectual interest is the contact zone, where conflicts occur and solutions are sought, where identity is challenged and performed. I focus on intercultural exchanges along the Pacific Rim, especially intersections between Asians and Asian Americans and negotiations between Asian and non-Asian cultures.

I challenge students to open their minds, to think critically and globally. I have actively participated in the international discourse on performance and have published and given talks on premodern Chinese drama, Asian American theatre, Chinese immigrant theatre and intercultural theatre, both in English and in Chinese. I also serve on the advisory board of Asian American Theatre Company (AATC, San Francisco).

Dr. Daphne Lei wrote Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) that, "The other thing can be my upcoming book--Operatic China: Staging Chinese Identity Across the Pacific (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006). More information:*2

Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness
shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
--- Psalm 37:5-6 of the Bible

--------------------------------------------
On Sunday September 3, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Hing Chai Cheng, Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was that, "Love one another." We need to love and we need to be loved. We should love one another with the love of Jesus. The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Scott Wu.

By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. The Bible teaches: "... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth ( 1 John 3:18)." District ( Family ) Court Judge Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony Lei that, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed by you as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity for me to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight, and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom, and guaidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishment and achievement have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support, and encouragement." *19

The spirit of both the innovation and entreprenuership has also motivated United States to be a leading and prosperous country. With its high-speed capability, Fiber Optics can convey mass quantity of images and voice information. It is because that the broadband technology such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) has been more and more developed. Moreover, because of the popular building of radio communication networks, wireless techniques may access important information from the web and condense it to be appeared on the small web connecting machines such as a hand-held screen. The open free software LINUX operating system can even connect various stations very easilly. All these advancement in science and technology, should be used to inspire the promotion of the quality of our daily life. In this new era of information and web works, we should add humanity concern into our thinking structures. God created the world. Everything can be decided by Him. As the value of the fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI growing, we the people with intelligence and knowledge in administration, technology, science should enjoy a valuable and joyful life to serve our community and society with our efforts and wisdom.*20

Last Sunday on Auust 27, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Victor Quon, Youth and College Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was that, "What Teenagers Can Do?" The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Pastor Doris Lin.

"As I'm looking around in this Hall, I've found individuals who came originally from many different nations," pointed out Paster Quon in his Sermon. "We need volunteers in the following areas for our Church: Cell Group Leaders, Sunday School Teachers, and among others."

The preasent conversation between Pastor Victor Quon and Dr. Tony Lei has inspired us that a good beginning of Victor's love, expertise, and sincerity will be elegant through the publication and service of this Section.

Asking about how to open the file sent us by Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng, Ms. Jenny Long (Ms. Tao Long) wrote on August 23, 2006 that, "I can read all the articles and messages on your website. Maybe you will show me the file when we meet at the church." "I did click through the links on the site that you sent to me. I can open and read all the files there," wrote Jenny on August 22, 2006. In Proverbs 15 : 23 of the Bible, it stated that, "A man finds joy in giving an apt reply --- and how good is a timely word!" Jenny's enthusiastic concern and effort to WBTI have been highly appreciated.

"How do I go about contributing to your website? Must I create a new user-ID & then sign in? Cheers," asked Miss Orchid Soh by e-mail. Orchid was thanked and answered by WBTI that some writing or pictures through the e-mail to us would be highly welcomed.

***** "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." --- Galatians 5:22 of the Bible

To serve our brothers and sisters with article writing, WBTI used to inform them the draft and asked them for modification or comment. After the draft of an article (on 8/24/06) was informed to John, he replied with an e-mail that, "This is wonderful! Now more people will be blessed. Thank you!"

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

Twenty-five centuries ago, Lao-tse, a Chinese sage, offered this profound insight;
"The reason why rivers and seas receives the homage of a hundred mountain streams is that they keep below them. Thus they are able to reign over all the mountain streams. So the sage, wishing to be above men, putteth himself below them; wishing to be before them, he putteth himself behind them. Thus, though his place be above men, they do not feel his weight; though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury."
So it is with humankind. Those who wish to yield the greatest influence will unselfishly position themselves below others, so as to serve them better.
Bruce Barton told a parable two seas in Palestine that expounds on the wisdom of Lao-tse. One sea is flesh. Fish live in it. Trees and bushes grow near it. Children splash and paly in it. The river Jordan flows into this sea with sparkling water from the hills. People build their homes near it. Every kind of life is happier because it is there. The same river Jordan flows south into another sea. Here there are no fish, no green things, no children playing, no homes a building. Stale air hangs above its waters, and neither man nor beast will drink of it. What makes the difference between these neighbor seas? Not the Jordan River. It empties the same good water into both. Nor is the soil or the countryside.
The differnece is that the Sea of Galilee receives water but does not keep it. For every drop that flows in, another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea hoards its income. Every drop it gets it keeps. The Sea of Galilee lives and lives. The other sea gives nothing. It is called the Dead Sea.
There are also two kinds of people in this world---those Dead Sea people who take without giving back, and the givers who remain fresh and vibrant by freely sharing of themselves.*1

"It's a pleasure meeting you on this Sunday afternoon again at the River of Life Christian Church. I greatly enjoy our conversation. I'm happy to hear that you had attended the Evangelism Class that I'm teaching on Sunday mornings. The WBTI's website is valuable for its infomative and knowledgeable articles and reports. Thank you for your kind commands and your interest in having me contribute to the information on the WBTI's website," said Kevin Gordon, Esq., in the Fellowship of English Service on August 20, 2006.

John was back home at 3:57 p.m. in the afternoon on August 19, 2006 from the Church Mission to Togo, Africa.

"Everything is fine, we are ready to leave Paris to san francisco. See you soon," wrote John in his latest e-mail during the Mission trip to Togo. [Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 01:53:02 -0700]

Praise God! It's important to receive a thoughtful response soon after last article was updated. The following is an e-mail from Miss Esther Huang to us on August 18, 2006:
[[[Thank you Dr. Lei for updating us on the Togo mission trip!
As John stated "Glory be to God" they have completed their mission work with success. Although initially there were some hindrance during departure, but we serve an awesome God who make the impossible possible, who turns what was meant for bad into good.
Can't wait to hear details about Togo mission trip when the team arrives home!
See you and Mrs. Lei at church!]]]

Here is the most recent news of the Church Mission to Togo from John [Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 14:02:59 -0700 (PDT)]:
"We have completed our mission work here with much success, all praises to God! We are flying back tomorrow night, and I have much to share with you. Thank you for your faithful prayers. Please also pass this email to Mike, I know he and his church is praying for us."

Highly blessed by God, The English Service of River of Life Christian Church was growing. The specific charater of the event has been highlighted by the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. During the past three Sundays in 2006, we had Rev. Tong Liu, Rev. Hing-Chai Cheng, Rev. Victor Quon, Mr. Henry Hu, Mr. Kevin Gordon (Kevin Gordon, Esq.), Pastor Doris Lin (Miss Doris Lin), Mr. John Lei, Mrs. Jessica Wong, Mr. Walter Wong, Mr. Patrick Nolan, Ms. Lynn Ling Yang, Miss Vivian Chao, Miss Frances Chang, Miss Mariany Lee, Miss Tine Lo, Mr. Gino Ko, Miss Angel Ku, Miss Prudy Yu, Miss Orchid Soh, Mr. Meung Kim, Miss Esther Huang, Miss Vera Suherman, Miss Nicole Ying, Miss Emily Ho, Miss Heidi Hsu, Mr. Arthur Quach, Yee Tuck Yong, Miss Merry Xiao, Ms. Tao Long, Mr. and Mrs. John Perrott, Mr. Roland On, Mrs. Jennie Quon, Ms. Cindy Chien, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Barnes, Dr. and Mrs. Tony Tung-tien Lei, and among others (names in random). The atmosphere of the Fellowship was pleasent and friendly. Hallelujah!

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ; How to Become a Christian" and "How to Receive Jesus Christ as Your Savior and Thus Become a Christian" written by Kevin P. Gordon, Esq., were posted in this section on August 8-9, 2006. "I will leave for Togo, Africa tomorrow afternoon for a mission trip" written by John K. Lei and Jennifer Kung was also posted the next day.

Brothers and Sisters from the English Service responded with applauses:

"Dear Dr. and Mrs. Lei, Sorry for replying late. It was very nice meeting you on last Sunday afternoon at church. I appreciate your and John's contributions to the Coffee/Tea Fellowship of English service. Thank you for your loving heart to each brother and sister. I will continue praying for John's mission trip at Togo. I'm sure the more he preaches the Gospel the more he will receive from God; with your support and love, this trip will be more meaningful and joyful to John," wrote Miss Merry Xiao on August 17, 2006. "Thank you for introducing me Kevin's articles. Actually I'm attending his Evangelism class on Sunday school. These articles are good notes for me . He is a great teacher for this class. His teachings are not only from the Bible and books but also from his experiences and testimonies in preaching the Gospel. I was impressed by his knowledge about the Bible and his passion on proclaiming the Gospel. May many people will be blessed by God through you. See you this Sunday."

"Dear Dr. Lei, It was very nice talking with you on Sunday at River of Life Christian Church. Thank you for your and your wife for providing food for the reception after the church service. I have attached the final versions of the two papers that I have written. They are both on the topic of how someone can receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and thus become a Christian. One is a two page version and one is a longer eight page version. Thank you for all of your help," wrote Kevin Gordon, Esq. After the articles were posted, he wrote again that "Thank you for posting my articles on the WBTI's website."

"Thanks. Here is the power point for last Sunday sermon. God bless you," wrote Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng.

"Thank you for passing this web. I've never known that Kevin has posted our church article in the web (The two articles were written by Kevin for WBTI's website). Yes, it is very nice to have you and auntie in this fellowship. And, your serving heart," wrote Miss Mariany Lee. "I'll pray for John trip to Togo. He would be a blessing and he would receive blessings, as well. Please let me know, if you or auntie needs assistance or help."

"Thank you for informing me that you have updated an article on the WBTI website. As John stated, with the list we will be able to pray specifically for our church's mission team to Togo. ... God will continue to bless John and those that he loves richly because of his faithfulness. ... I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts regarding the articles I have read on the WBTI's website. Give me sometime time to reflect on what I have read� I will send you 'a few words'," wrote Miss Esther Huang.

"Thank you for inviting all of us yesterday. We enjoyed and had a very good time. If you or Mrs. Lei need any help while John is in mission trip, please feel free to call me at 408-368-????. Thanks again, Love in Christ," wrote Miss Vivian Chao.

As reminded by Judy for the English Service, Miss Christine Tsai wrote, "I will try to make it if possible. Thanks to Judy. Have a nice weekend! ... We do pary for John's mission trip in Africa. They will have a safe and peace trip there."

"Thank you for the information that you sent to me. I would like to write something to supporting our brothers and sister in the media, but my english writing is very bad. So let me learn more first than I would write in the media. Thanks God that you and Mrs. Lei joining our church and have participation in the serving God. May God bless all your family," wrote Miss Tine Lo.

"I know John has gone to Togo with our pastor. We all pray for them a effective and significant journey in Africa. We trust God will bless Togo people," wrote Mr. Victor Luo.

In an earlier day, Miss Frances Chang wrote us that "I appreciate for your patience, finally I've got it today! It seems a lot of information on that, I gotta take time to check it out later, anyway I extremely thanks you again!"

"Thanks for asking about us. ... Cathy has also been busy with some year-end accounting at Cisco but that just ended last week. ... We will still come by to visit ROLCC every so often," wrote Mr. Tony Tsai. The famly includes Mr. Anothny Tsai, Mrs. Cathy Tsai, and Miss Christina (Ping) Tsai.

"Thanks a lot for your message. The WBTI website is very nice. It contains a huge amount of information. Great! I am so sorry for being late to reply your email. Sorry for that. Again, thanks a lot," wrote an e-mail from Ms. Lynn Ling Yang to us.

After taking a look at the WBTI's website, Ms. Savina Kao wrote to us that "It is great to get to know you and your wife on Sunday. Now I know why John becomes such an outstanding young man. :) It's also wonderful to know that your organization has been serving the community and our country. I hope we will get a chance to chat again on Sundays."

"A man finds joy in giving an apt reply --- and how good is a timely word!" --- Proverbs 15 : 23 of the Bible

***** Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm. ---Tom Peters

The Coffee/Tea Fellowship last Sunday (and every week in August) was highlightened by the "to serve and to give heartily" of Lei's family: John helped promote the Sevice and Fellowship. Judy coocked the whole things of the "Chau Mien" (chau noddles) and prepared the salad. Tony has inspired the the spirit and value of the English Service and Fellowship of River of Life Christian Church through publications locally, natioally, and internationally.

Miss Vivian Chao joined Judy in preparing for the food of the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. She prepared the fruits and cakes.

As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present. Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to his or her selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.*2

Therfore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or your in the Hell.

Accordng to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.

After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"

Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!" *3

With honor as the Assistant Democratic Leader (now the Democratic Leader) of U. S. Senate, Senator Harry Reid wrote Dr. and Mrs. Tony Tung-tien Lei on January 11, 2001 from his office in Washington, D. C.: "The holiday season is a time for remembering the good things that have happened during the year, for reflecting on the many blessings of our lives, and for renewing the bonds of love and friendship that make our lives special." *4

The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. Our first child, Lana, and our three grandchildren live in the Washington area. Roary and three more of our grandchildren live in Las Vegas. Leif is in Reno with two more grandchildren and have just told us another is on the way.

Josh just passed the bar, is living in Reno and also has announced our new daughter-in-law is expecting. Finally, our youngest, Key, lives in the Washington DC area with our newest grandchild. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington." *5

The Bible says: "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26) Take what the Senator said to Dr. Tony Lei in his letter that, "On behalf of Landra and our family, I want to thank you thinking of us during this holiday season. Each holiday greeting reminds us that we are truly fortunate to have so many friends and loved ones with whom to share this special time." And if a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada would be taken care by his extended kindness. And this be our mode: "In God is our trust!"

His love to his family and his friends revealled his dignified and humane spirit through his words in the letter. For a great and powerful person like him to have such a beautiful and kind heart is really the glory of God. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves," says the Bible. (Romans 12:9-10) At the end of the letter, the famous U.S. Senator said that, "The Reid family has been richly blessed and we look forward to the years ahead. I hope that the season brings happiness and good fortune to you and your loved ones. With warmest regards." *6

"Welcome to River of Life Christian Church! We are glad to have you here to worship God with us. For the last 10 days, I was in Taiwan to record the 3rd worship CD. I remembered how overwhelmed I was by the political situations at the minute I first arrived. It did not matter if you were interested in or hear people expressing their opinion about wether to get rid of President Bian or to support him. I felt the entire society was divided by the politics and that people relationship and the communities were not able to function properly," wrote Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*7

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
--- Galatians 5:22 of the Bible

To a friend's house the road is never long. Let's share together with some of the golden words about firendship from the Bible:*8
***** Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. ---Romans 12:10
***** Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. ---Proverbs 27:9
***** Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. ---John 15:13-15
***** He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. ---Proverbs 22-11*9

"I felt really sad that the beautiful and well-developed land was corrupted by human selfishness and became intolerable. It made me realized the important of the church to the society. We must pray for the land and the government we live in. Transformation should not only happen in the church but also need to happen in politics and cultures. We can't just sit inside the church and enjoy the worship, but need to be actively involved in the community to bring spiritual change," pointed out Senior Paster Tong Liu.*10

U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to inspire and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to America to seek the American dream. Even though not all of them can realize their American dream, eventually they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions to our country.*11

As a born-again Christian, people have been inspired by his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just his wealthy and handsome appearance now. On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was very frustrated with his first taste of political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. However, he believes God and has surrendered his fate to God. John's faith in God helped him to overcome his frustration and disappointment and enabled him to continue to strive to succeed. The Bible says "...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7)". If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a different door for those who are eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. As all Christians acknowledge - with God, anything is possible.*12

"We are starting a new quarter in September. Let's ask God to give us a new expectation. God will do new things in our lives again. Let us come to exalt and praise Him," concluded Rev. Tong Liu in his message.*13

For many years, we taught people successfully to make money through the modern knowledge of organization and management in business. For the years to go, we will continue to encourage our friends to love the God, and to love our people, professionalism, community, and country.*14

"Incentives (of love) brings us with encouragement. Encouragement brings us with good work performance. In the 5:19 on Ecclesiastes of the Bible, it stated that 'When God gives any man (or woman) wealth and possessions, and enable him (or her) to enjoy them, to accept his (or her) lot and be happy in his (or her) work---this is a gift of God,'" said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*15

In this 21st Century new era and society, we need economic growth and personal prosperity, but we need also to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and silver country through: the power of public service that based on knowledge is the power of rightousness; the advancement of technology, entreprenueship, and innovation; and the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service.*16

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*17

Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." --- Matthew 7:24-25 of the "Bible"

Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*18

"The art of management has made the United States a paradise of richfulness and prosperity. On the very top floor of the mension at the Graduate School of New York University, I was impressed by the crowded traffic and the brilliant night scenes down on the ground. And looking at the groups of mansions standing under the heavenly sky at this Fifth Street reminded me that: All these golden Squares and proserity at the time of the May Flower period was nothing but an empty land. For our Las Vegas, we've realized the same story of development and prosperity," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on the Grand Openning of the Las Vegas City Park.

"It made me remember the story of the next dynasty King after the Emperor Ching. Impressed by watching the greatness of the Emperor with his large marching team on the road one day at his young age, the young boy said, 'Do it brightly and we should make it the same also, excellency! (Meaning explanation for 'Yu Wei Jer Yi Loi Hsie' in Chinese.)' Nowaday, the entrepreneurship made America great is not just important for individuals, but it is also critical for a company or a country."

The above initiative spirit of the United States is originated from the first paragraph of the Preface of a text book written by Tony Tung-tien Lei entitled "Managemnt Behavior" published by Buffalo Publishing Inc. in 1989 (2nd Edition).

Threeof his text books "Business Management," "Information Management," and "Management Behavior" had been used by Dr. Tony Lei as a reference book in National Taiwan University, National Chengchi University, and National Chunghsing University from 1975 through 1990.*5

***** From now on, any definition of a successful life must include serving others. ---George Bush
***** When people are serving, life is no longer meaningless. ---John Gardner
***** One need not be a servant to be able to serve. ---Victor Frankl

Some good leading skills for executives and leaders
By Tiffany Chang

Management is a term still not be well defined. A current definition is that management is the attainment of organizational objectives with and through people. A manager requires a special set of skills and abilities in order to attain objectives in a complex organization with and through many different types of individuals.*1

"Better executive decision and development of good leaders are important in any age or in any organization, but the changing face of business and government makes both more important today than perhaps they have ever been before. The decentralization of private companies, public agencies, amd even community groups has spread the responsibility for decision-making more broadly at the same time that it has created greate accountability for each individual decision made," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*2

"The following skills for executives and leaders are helpful: (1) When you are thrust into a responsible position with accentual warning and even less preparation, clear headed thinking about why you have been appointed to an office and what those who have placed you there expect of you is prerequisite to clear-minded, if not predictable, decision making. (2) Ask what actions are called for in the position, what strategies have worked in past, and how others have previously responded to the challenges you now face. (3) Realizing your leadership potential depends on making a match between your vision and an organization. The challenge is to find the right opportunity, pick the right moment, and make the right move. (4) Remember personal traits are important to executives and leaders, but such leadership skills as persuasive speaking, persistence in achieving one's agendas, and personal confidence can be developed in office, much of leadership is a learned capacity that need not be limited by birthright or prior experience. (5) Moving yourself through varied and increasingly responsible management experiences develop the personal confidence and diverse skills required to master different, more ambitious arrays of tasks. (6) Pick your associates well, back them fully, empower them with boh accountability and responsibility, and they will produce far more than you ever will to achieve on your own."*3

There are some more tips to be added: (1) Knowing where you want to go and what your values are can be essential to getting there, to ensuring that all of your interests and concerns. (2) Recognizing people's diverse motives for participating is an essential first step in mobilizing their contributions. (3) If you expect those who work for you to exercise their own judment, provide them with the decision-making expenence now. (4) If your leadership depends on theirs, devloping responsibiliy and sharing stories is a foundation upon which it will reside. (5) A new position of leadership will engender the expenience you lack on arrival, and seeking feedback on your performance in the position will ensure that you take advantage of the experience. (6) Thinking strategically when confronted with a crsis or challenge is a learned skill that requires sustained seasoning.*4

At least there are two points of view about the way knowledge aquuired in business is or can be translated into a real-world environment. It has been suggested by business that MBA programs of many schools arenot teaching necessary skills fro managerial effectiveness. Development of skills requiired, finding the problems that need to be solved, planning for attainment of desired results,, and carring out operating plans one they are made are skills not emphasized in MBA program of many coleges. Another skill that appears to be lacking is the ability to achieve results through people in organizations. This is why many schools are incorporating a behavioral approach in management rectify this deficit.*5

Dr. Daphne Lei's upcoming book
Operatic China: Staging Chinese Identity Across the Pacific (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006).
By Jennifer Kung

The following is a bio of Dr. Daphne Lei.*1 You may view her photo with this bio on the website at http://drama.arts.uci.edu/faculty/lei.html

Ph.D. Tufts University
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University

My intellectual interest is the contact zone, where conflicts occur and solutions are sought, where identity is challenged and performed. I focus on intercultural exchanges along the Pacific Rim, especially intersections between Asians and Asian Americans and negotiations between Asian and non-Asian cultures.

I challenge students to open their minds, to think critically and globally. I have actively participated in the international discourse on performance and have published and given talks on premodern Chinese drama, Asian American theatre, Chinese immigrant theatre and intercultural theatre, both in English and in Chinese. I also serve on the advisory board of Asian American Theatre Company (AATC, San Francisco).

Google's bidding!
To become more effective online communication
By Tiffany Chang

"Google, the world's most-used Web search engine, may close bidding in its auction-style initial public offering as soon as 2 p.m. today, moving it closer to completing what may be the most biggest-ever internet-company IPO," reported Brett Cole on August 17, 2004.*19

"Google co-founders Larry Page, 31, and Sergey Brin, 30, chose an auction-style IPO to give individual investors an opportunity to buy shares alongsid institutions, the company said in SEC filings. Google's IPO auction may cut investment-banking fees to 1.5 percent, said Michael Madden, principal at New York-based buyout firm Questor Management Co. Google makes most of its money by linking advertisements to search results. That and other forms of advertising constitute 98 percent of Google's revenue, the company said in an SEC filling," continued the reporter.*20

"We need individuals who can restore hope and create positive changes in our society. It is our responsibility as educator to produce leaders who will take that initiative. To do so, we must be at the level of the individual student and alumnus. Utimately, the school must strengthen the student's intellect and create a better, bolder, and more ehical thinker who will yield the greatest impact on the community in roles as educators therapists, and business persons," siad Nancy Magnusson Fagan at the time when she was the Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University.*1

Today, one of the important slogan of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is: To become more effective online communication in every online venue!

Starting from 1980, the author had been benefit deeply from two main courses of the program of Doctorate Degree of Education (Ed. D.) in Institution Management of Pepperdine University.*2 They were: (1) ED 740 Computer Utilization in Institutional Management; and (2) ED 730 Methodological Approaches to Educational Research and Evaluation. The technical skills and knowledge of information management had sharpened his abilities of the research, management, and teaching in a national organization of information management and the graduate school of business administration. After many years of administrative resposibility in higher policy-making organization and teaching the graduate school of business administration in famous universities, the author concentrated effort to study and acquire the knowledge and utilization of effective information management in the United States of America. That was ten years after he received his M. B. A. from Pepperdine. His two years of computer consulting job at the Computer Laboratory of the Graduate School of Education and Pshchology and the School of Business and Management of Pepperdine University advanced the practical experience on information management for him to complete his dessertation entitled "A Study of the Impact of Enrollment in a Computer Science Class on Mathematics Scores and Attendance in a Secondary School". He taught information management as an Associate Professor for five years at the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chunghsing University before he became a Fellow of Management for the former Dean of the School of Business and Management of Pepperdine University in 1991. He received his M. B. A. and Doctor of Education in Institutional Management from Pepperdine University in 1969 and 1990, respectively.

Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.

In many ways, business school is at the center of this cultural phenomenon. For some, the business school is the passport to the boardroom, the ticket to the top of the corporate ladder. these schools, nationally and internationally, pump out the new generation of business leaders by hundreds of thousands. "They are the pipeline of raw material with which the nation's --- and the world's --- leading business build the future. And MBAs are not limited to the traditional corporate world: From Wall Street to Madison Avenue, from Sand Hill Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, today's MBAs lead organizations large and small, in every conceivable industry. They are the executives and entrepreneurs who power the economy."3

"UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE, you've seen enormous changes in communications technology over the past two decades. From orbiting satellites routing long distance phone calls to email to undreamed-of growth of the Internet, the age of communicating online, using computers and networks, is upon us all," stated at the first paragraphy of the 'Introduction' of the book, "How to say it online: everything you need to know to master the new language of cyberspac," written by Kim Baker and Sunny Baker.*4

"And what could be better news? To keep in touch, there's nothing faster or cheaper than email. To gain access to information and people, the power of online communication expands your reach from the local to the global. To meet new friends and even romance a potential life partner, online venues provide rich opportunities (if you know the right things to say and the best way to say them). At school, the Internet places volumes of knowledge on ever subject at your fingertips, and at work, computer networks make business communication more efficient than ever." *5

Whether you are in business or in non-profit organization, you need to have a Web site. This seems to be a common wisdom in now- a-days. Think seriously about the needs of your market before you go onto the Web to make more money for business, to develop better non-profit organization, or to contribute to more community service. "It's hard to believe that Fred's Service Station really needs a Web Site to reap new profits. However, for some businesses and professional service firms, the Internet and web to gether offer viable marketing and distribution opportunities. Software companies, online magazines, and email order businesses can do quite well from the Web --- if the owners know how to say the right things on their sites. The Secrets of a Successful Web Site: Just having a site on the Web will do almost nothing to sell your products or services. To promote your Web site, there are three things you must do: (1). You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site." *5 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the most famous search engine services like Google! (Google.com), Google! (Google.cn since 2005), Yahoo! (Yahoo.com), Aol! (Aol.com), WebCrawler! (WebCrawler.com), linkInfoseek! (Infoseek.com), among others.

"There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*7

Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.

Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.

In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.

A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *9

President Andrew Benton of Pepperdine University took the opportunity to give the Grduate Schools Board of visitors a sneak preview of the campus in last May. The president, along with Dean of the business school Dr. Linda Livingstone, hosted several special guests including David Mount, Mrs. Reva Graziadio, who was accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law, Aliva and Stevan Calvillo.

In Addition, President Andrew Benton welcome former U. S. President Gerald Ford. "It is so right that he is here today, becuase when he serve on our Board of Regents we were envisioning this project," President Benton remarked.*2 President Ford understood what the completion of the Drescher Graduate School meant. More importanly he understood that the project reprents all that is good about a generation of people who continue to build a great America.

"I think our country should be proud of the fact that we proved that free enterprise, free election opportunities, free economic systems could prevail over state-run, governmen controlled nations," said President Ford.

"How can we leave the world in a better conditiion than we found it? Near the top of such answers is this: Build a teaching institution that is grounded in timeless truths. Or, as our mission statement expresses it, 'Pepperdine is a Christian unversity committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.' That is a mission worth investing a life in," pointed out President Benton at his message on the "Pepperdine People".*10

To encourage a good writing and to inspire a good idea, we must have good readers and sincere friends!*11 One of the examples has been shown at the bottom paragraphs of this feature article.

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*12 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*13

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do."*14

To initiate our programs more effectively for the people and communities who are interested to participate the programs, we need to emphasize the spirit of positive attitude and positive thinking. The following are our golden words of wisdom which are worth reading collected by the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI):

"Dear Tony & Judy:
I enjoyed immensely reading your WBTI website materials. Thank you for letting me know that one day we all can close our eyes and envision a world that is safe, peacefilled and healthy. Looking forward to meeting you someday so we could all working together toward that goal. With my very best to you,"*16 wrote Dr. Peter Wang to Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei. Dr. Peter C. Wang, is the Regent of Pacific Lutheran University and Chairman of the Wang Center LLC.

"Tony, I am sending Peter's proposal for your review. Peter's proposal reflects his dream(and mine too) of many years. If successfully executed, it could help educate hundreds of millions kids of K-12 as well as adults. It would benefit THE MANKIND greatly. Read it and think what you can help," wrote Dr. Bob Ni.*17 He and Dr. Wang are all alumni of the first class of Tunghai University.

"My Dearest Dr. Tony, What a wonderful and thoughtful suprise I opened the envelope and your most gracious offer to us inside. Trecia is travelling in New York and I'm still in LA here working. So we will be unable to accept your gift (A trip to visit Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and National Parks by WBTI). However we shall treasure in our hearts your constant rememberance of us. Time goes quickly and people forget each other. You have been so very successful and I keep all your news articles. You look so handsome. You are getting younger. My dear friend Dr. Tony, I and Trecia thank you again and we value and keep safe our friendship. Our friendship love and thanks.
Liz and Trecia," wrote Dr. Liz Kent a letter with a beautiful thanks card by "Today I Thought of You" to him. Liz and Trecia are sisters and former classmates of Dr. Tony Lei in the Doctorate Program of Institutional Management at Pepperdine University. All of the three good friends received their Doctor of Education degree in Institutional Management from Pepperdine University.*18

This Sunday on Auust 27, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Victor Quon, Youth and College Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was that, "What Teenagers Can Do?" The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Pastor Doris Lin.

"As I'm looking around in this Hall, I've found individuals who came originally from many different nations," pointed out Paster Victor Quon in his Sermon. "We need volunteers in the following areas for our Church: Cell Group Leaders, Sunday School Teachers, and among others."

The preasent conversation between Pastor Victor Quon and Dr. Tony Lei has inspired us that a good beginning of Victor's love, expertise, and sincerity will be elegant through the publication and service of this Section.

Asking about how to open the file sent us by Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng, Ms. Jenny Long (Ms. Tao Long) wrote on August 23, 2006 that, "I can read all the articles and messages on your website. Maybe you will show me the file when we meet at the church." "I did click through the links on the site that you sent to me. I can open and read all the files there," wrote Jenny on August 22, 2006. In Proverbs 15 : 23 of the Bible, it stated that, "A man finds joy in giving an apt reply --- and how good is a timely word!" Jenny's enthusiastic concern and effort to WBTI have been highly appreciated.

"How do I go about contributing to your website? Must I create a new user-ID & then sign in? Cheers," asked Miss Orchid Soh by e-mail. Orchid was thanked and answered by WBTI that some writing or pictures through the e-mail to us would be highly welcomed.

To serve our brothers and sisters with article writing, WBTI used to inform them the draft and asked them for modification or comment. After the draft of an article (on 8/24/06) was informed to John, he replied with an e-mail that, "This is wonderful! Now more people will be blessed. Thank you!"

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

Twenty-five centuries ago, Lao-tse, a Chinese sage, offered this profound insight;
"The reason why rivers and seas receives the homage of a hundred mountain streams is that they keep below them. Thus they are able to reign over all the mountain streams. So the sage, wishing to be above men, putteth himself below them; wishing to be before them, he putteth himself behind them. Thus, though his place be above men, they do not feel his weight; though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury."
So it is with humankind. Those who wish to yield the greatest influence will unselfishly position themselves below others, so as to serve them better.
Bruce Barton told a parable two seas in Palestine that expounds on the wisdom of Lao-tse. One sea is flesh. Fish live in it. Trees and bushes grow near it. Children splash and paly in it. The river Jordan flows into this sea with sparkling water from the hills. People build their homes near it. Every kind of life is happier because it is there. The same river Jordan flows south into another sea. Here there are no fish, no green things, no children playing, no homes a building. Stale air hangs above its waters, and neither man nor beast will drink of it. What makes the difference between these neighbor seas? Not the Jordan River. It empties the same good water into both. Nor is the soil or the countryside.
The differnece is that the Sea of Galilee receives water but does not keep it. For every drop that flows in, another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea hoards its income. Every drop it gets it keeps. The Sea of Galilee lives and lives. The other sea gives nothing. It is called the Dead Sea.
There are also two kinds of people in this world---those Dead Sea people who take without giving back, and the givers who remain fresh and vibrant by freely sharing of themselves.*1

"It's a pleasure meeting you on this Sunday afternoon again at the River of Life Christian Church. I greatly enjoy our conversation. I'm happy to hear that you had attended the Evangelism Class that I'm teaching on Sunday mornings. The WBTI's website is valuable for its infomative and knowledgeable articles and reports. Thank you for your kind commands and your interest in having me contribute to the information on the WBTI's website," said Kevin Gordon, Esq., in the Fellowship of English Service on August 20, 2006.

John was back home at 3:57 p.m. in the afternoon on August 19, 2006 from the Church Mission to Togo, Africa.

"Everything is fine, we are ready to leave Paris to san francisco. See you soon," wrote John in his latest e-mail during the Mission trip to Togo. [Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 01:53:02 -0700]

Praise God! It's important to receive a thoughtful response soon after last article was updated. The following is an e-mail from Miss Esther Huang to us on August 18, 2006:
[[[Thank you Dr. Lei for updating us on the Togo mission trip!
As John stated "Glory be to God" they have completed their mission work with success. Although initially there were some hindrance during departure, but we serve an awesome God who make the impossible possible, who turns what was meant for bad into good.
Can't wait to hear details about Togo mission trip when the team arrives home!
See you and Mrs. Lei at church!]]]

Here is the most recent news of the Church Mission to Togo from John [Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 14:02:59 -0700 (PDT)]:
"We have completed our mission work here with much success, all praises to God! We are flying back tomorrow night, and I have much to share with you. Thank you for your faithful prayers. Please also pass this email to Mike, I know he and his church is praying for us."

Highly blessed by God, The English Service of River of Life Christian Church was growing. The specific charater of the event has been highlighted by the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. On August 20 & 27, 2006, we have had Rev. Tong Liu, Rev. Victor Quon, Rev. Hing-Chai Cheng, Mr. Henry Hu, Mr. Kevin Gordon (Kevin Gordon, Esq.), Pastor Doris Lin (Miss Doris Lin), Mr. John Lei, Mrs. Jessica Wong, Mr. Walter Wong, Mr. Patrick Nolan, Ms. Lynn Ling Yang, Miss Vivian Chao, Miss Frances Chang, Miss Mariany Lee, Miss Tine Lo, Mr. Gino Ko, Miss Angel Ku, Miss Prudy Yu, Miss Orchid Soh, Mr. Meung Kim, Miss Esther Huang, Miss Vera Suherman, Miss Nicole Ying, Miss Emily Ho, Miss Heidi Hsu, Mr. Arthur Quach, Yee Tuck Yong, Miss Merry Xiao, Ms. Tao Long, Mr. and Mrs. John Perrott, Mr. Roland On, Mrs. Jennie Quon, Ms Cindy Chien, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Barnes, Dr. and Mrs. Tony Tung-tien Lei, and among others (names in random).

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ; How to Become a Christian" and "How to Receive Jesus Christ as Your Savior and Thus Become a Christian" written by Kevin P. Gordon, Esq., were posted in this section on August 8-9, 2006. "I will leave for Togo, Africa tomorrow afternoon for a mission trip" written by John K. Lei and Jennifer Kung was also posted the next day.

Brothers and Sisters from the English Service responded with applauses:

"Dear Dr. and Mrs. Lei, Sorry for replying late. It was very nice meeting you on last Sunday afternoon at church. I appreciate your and John抯 contributions to the Coffee/Tea Fellowship of English service. Thank you for your loving heart to each brother and sister. I will continue praying for John's mission trip at Togo. I'm sure the more he preaches the Gospel the more he will receive from God; with your support and love, this trip will be more meaningful and joyful to John," wrote Merry Xiao on August 17, 2006. "Thank you for introducing me Kevin's articles. Actually I'm attending his Evangelism class on Sunday school. These articles are good notes for me . He is a great teacher for this class. His teachings are not only from the Bible and books but also from his experiences and testimonies in preaching the Gospel. I was impressed by his knowledge about the Bible and his passion on proclaiming the Gospel. May many people will be blessed by God through you. See you this Sunday."

"Dear Dr. Lei, It was very nice talking with you on Sunday at River of Life Christian Church. Thank you for your and your wife for providing food for the reception after the church service. I have attached the final versions of the two papers that I have written. They are both on the topic of how someone can receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and thus become a Christian. One is a two page version and one is a longer eight page version. Thank you for all of your help," wrote Kevin Gordon, Esq. After the articles were posted, he wrote again that "Thank you for posting my articles on the WBTI's website."

"Thanks. Here is the power point for last Sunday sermon. God bless you," wrote Pastor Hing-Chai Cheng.

"Thank you for passing this web. I've never known that Kevin has posted our church article in the web (The two articles were written by Kevin for WBTI's website). Yes, it is very nice to have you and auntie in this fellowship. And, your serving heart," wrote Miss Mariany Lee. "I'll pray for John trip to Togo. He would be a blessing and he would receive blessings, as well. Please let me know, if you or auntie needs assistance or help."

"Thank you for informing me that you have updated an article on the WBTI website. As John stated, with the list we will be able to pray specifically for our church's mission team to Togo. ... God will continue to bless John and those that he loves richly because of his faithfulness. ... I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts regarding the articles I have read on the WBTI's website. Give me sometime time to reflect on what I have read� I will send you 'a few words'," wrote Miss Esther Huang.

"Thank you for inviting all of us yesterday. We enjoyed and had a very good time. If you or Mrs. Lei need any help while John is in mission trip, please feel free to call me at 408-368-????. Thanks again, Love in Christ," wrote Miss Vivian Chao.

As reminded by Judy for the English Service, Miss Christine Tsai wrote, "I will try to make it if possible. Thanks to Judy. Have a nice weekend! ... We do pary for John's mission trip in Africa. They will have a safe and peace trip there."

"Thank you for the information that you sent to me. I would like to write something to supporting our brothers and sister in the media, but my english writing is very bad. So let me learn more first than I would write in the media. Thanks God that you and Mrs. Lei joining our church and have participation in the serving God. May God bless all your family," wrote Miss Tine Lo.

"I know John has gone to Togo with our pastor. We all pray for them a effective and significant journey in Africa. We
trust God will bless Togo people," wrote Mr. Victor Luo.

In an earlier day, Miss Frances Chang wrote us that "I appreciate for your patience, finally I've got it today! It seems a lot of information on that, I gotta take time to check it out later, anyway I extremely thanks you again!"

"Thanks for asking about us. ... Cathy has also been busy with some year-end accounting at Cisco but that just ended last week. ... We will still come by to visit ROLCC every so often," wrote Mr. Tony Tsai. The famly includes Mr. Anothny Tsai, Mrs. Cathy Tsai, and Miss Christina (Ping) Tsai.

"Thanks a lot for your message. The WBTI website is very nice. It contains a huge amount of information. Great! I am so sorry for being late to reply your email. Sorry for that. Again, thanks a lot," wrote an e-mail from Ms. Lynn Ling Yang to us.

After taking a look at the WBTI's website, Ms. Savina Kao wrote to us that "It is great to get to know you and your wife on Sunday. Now I know why John becomes such an outstanding young man. :) It's also wonderful to know that your organization has been serving the community and our country. I hope we will get a chance to chat again on Sundays."

The Coffee/Tea Fellowship this Sunday (and every week in August) was highlightened by the "to serve and to give heartily" of Lei's family: John helped promote the Sevice and Fellowship. Judy coocked the whole things of the "Chau Mien" (chau noddles) and prepared the salad. Tony has inspired the the spirit and value of the English Service and Fellowship of River of Life Christian Church through publications locally, natioally, and internationally.

Miss Vivian Chao joined Judy in preparing for the food of the Coffee/Tea Fellowship. She prepared the fruits and cakes.

As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present. Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to his or her selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.*2

Therfore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or your in the Hell.

Accordng to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.

After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"

Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!" *3

With honor as the Assistant Democratic Leader (now the Democratic Leader) of U. S. Senate, Senator Harry Reid wrote Dr. and Mrs. Tony Tung-tien Lei on January 11, 2001 from his office in Washington, D. C.: "The holiday season is a time for remembering the good things that have happened during the year, for reflecting on the many blessings of our lives, and for renewing the bonds of love and friendship that make our lives special." *4

The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. Our first child, Lana, and our three grandchildren live in the Washington area. Roary and three more of our grandchildren live in Las Vegas. Leif is in Reno with two more grandchildren and have just told us another is on the way.

Josh just passed the bar, is living in Reno and also has announced our new daughter-in-law is expecting. Finally, our youngest, Key, lives in the Washington DC area with our newest grandchild. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington." *5

The Bible says: "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" (Matthew 6:26) Take what the Senator said to Dr. Tony Lei in his letter that, "On behalf of Landra and our family, I want to thank you thinking of us during this holiday season. Each holiday greeting reminds us that we are truly fortunate to have so many friends and loved ones with whom to share this special time." And if a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada would be taken care by his extended kindness. And this be our mode: "In God is our trust!"

His love to his family and his friends revealled his dignified and humane spirit through his words in the letter. For a great and powerful person like him to have such a beautiful and kind heart is really the glory of God. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves," says the Bible. (Romans 12:9-10) At the end of the letter, the famous U.S. Senator said that, "The Reid family has been richly blessed and we look forward to the years ahead. I hope that the season brings happiness and good fortune to you and your loved ones. With warmest regards." *6

"Welcome to River of Life Christian Church! We are glad to have you here to worship God with us. August is almost over and soon, all the children will be back to schools in September. Many family lives will go back to routine. Likewise, we need to have normal spiritual practice as well," wrote Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*7

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
--- Galatians 5:22 of the Bible

To a friend's house the road is never long. Let's share together with some of the golden words about firendship from the Bible:*8
***** Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. ---Romans 12:10
***** Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. ---Proverbs 27:9
***** Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. ---John 15:13-15
***** He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. ---Proverbs 22-11*9

"Victorious Christian living takes consistent walk with God day by day. We must spend time with God as well as grow in His service. Let's remain a learning attitude so that God can continue to mold our lives," pointed out Senior Paster Tong Liu.*10

U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to build and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to America to seek the American dream. Even though not all of them can realize their American dream, eventually they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions to our country.*11

As a born-again Christian, people have been inspired by his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just his wealthy and handsome appearance now. On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was very frustrated with his first taste of political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. However, he believes God and has surrendered his fate to God. John's faith in God helped him to overcome his frustration and disappointment and enabled him to continue to strive to succeed. The Bible says "...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7)". If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a different door for those who are eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. As all Christians acknowledge - with God, anything is possible.*12

"This quarter, we are studying book of James. Book of James is a letter emphasizing faith with deeds. This reminds us not to merely love by talking and in words, but to love with actions and sincerity. Let's ask God to teach us how to show our faith and our love to the world through our action so that the world will give praise to God because of the good deeds we've done," concluded Rev. Tong Liu in his message.*13

For many years, we taught people successfully to make money through the modern knowledge of organization and management in business. For the years to go, we will continue to encourage our friends to love the God, and to love our people, professionalism, community, and country.*14

"Incentives (of love) brings us with encouragement. Encouragement brings us with good work performance. In the 5:19 on Ecclesiastes of the Bible, it stated that 'When God gives any man (or woman) wealth and possessions, and enable him (or her) to enjoy them, to accept his (or her) lot and be happy in his (or her) work---this is a gift of God,'" said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*15

In this 21st Century new era and society, we need economic growth and personal prosperity, but we need also to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and silver country through: the power of public service that based on knowledge is the power of rightousness; the advancement of technology, entreprenueship, and innovation; and the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service.*16

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*17

Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." --- Matthew 7:24-25 of the "Bible"

Our knowledge, wisdom, and professionalism are all achieved by our sincere love to God!" said President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*18
