The light of God surrounds me,
The love of God enflolds me,
The power of God protects me,
The Presence of God watches over
me,
Wherever I am, God is.

In her speech to the Women Conference in the morning on September 22, 2006, Mrs. Belinda M. Liu dilivered an amazing testimony. "Two weeks ago in my Sunday School, I met with an elder and wise man (Dr. Tony Lei). He told me that WBTI (Washington Business and Technology Institute) was interested in opening a special section for me which would emphasize the educational and spiritual value. As I read his business card, praise Lord! he's the President. I was quite excited and scared. I was worry not being able to answer him appoximately. I told him that I had no formal education from a bible college. As you know I've been eager to enhance my teaching in Bible with a special website for many years. Now, an angel has been sent from God for me. Just this Monday (9/18/06), I clicked on the Section ("Belinda Liu's Spiritual World" at
http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti) and I found a wonderful performance of my many years accomplishments with nice pictures has been implemented. Hallelujah! (The daily website is established and supported by the largest English newspaper in Nevada, Las Vegas Review-Journal). Through the publication of searching leaders each every seven days, the potential visitors from Internet are more than a million." *1

With sicerely love to God, nothing is impossible!

On a previous Sunday, 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. During the trip, we hsd more than 40 of them 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 sixth week on October 8, 2006. The subject is on the advanced part in the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Many enthusiatic individuals attended the Class.*2

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." *7

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.*8

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!"

Innovation is practical for a real need. It is not a random process. "When it works, it works because someone has identified a real need, and found a way to bring new ideas or new technologies to bear on that need," said Lewis W. Lehr. An innovator's life is governed by "to create" lists. She or he is incessantly pursuing new possibilities and refinning existing ones.

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

"Business has only two functions," writes Peter Drucker, "marketing and innovation."
... Today, the Burma Shave commercial are highly recognized as memorable trivia.
Here's another exemplary approach combining innovation and unique marketing. ...
Innovative marketing--could it be the third function of business?

Innovation is one of the most important traits for the prosperity of American business. Hope our Pan Pacific and Asian countries may catch it as soon as possible!*9

"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.

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. Jenny Long served the food for English Service Fellowship on October 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.*10

Therefore, 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!" *11

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."

The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington."

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 T. 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." If a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada and California 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." *12

Senator Harry Reid is an adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute.

"Praise God for the wonderful work He's done. The most important thing for this event is spiritual unity. Our church decided to participate in this event (so that we could stand together with the local churches. Actually, the basic attitude to serve the community is giving. I thank god for what brothers and sisters have given. I am proud of you," pointed out Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*13

***** 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*14

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.*15

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.

As a famous U. S. Senator of Nevada, John Ensign has been Advisor and vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since 2000.

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.*16

"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.*17

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.*18

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*19

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).*20

[[[Build a Better World]]]
God said, "Let's build a better world,"
and I said, "How?
The world is such a cold. dark place,
and so complicated now,
And I'm so afraid and helpless,
there's nothing I can do!"
But God in all His wisdom said,
"Just build a better 'you'!"

This Sunday October 8, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was "The Outpouring Promise of God". "For I will poure water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground." He said that we need something new. We need some innovation. As the river that flows from the Holy Place, and the beauty of holiness brings worship anew. The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Pastor James Wang.

"Please pray for the English Service that the Lord will raise up more co-worker to serve the English speaking people and that through this ministry, He will increase our influence in Silicon Valley," stated the English Service on its video screen on October 1, 2006.

In her speech to the Women Conference in the morning on September 22, 2006, Mrs. Belinda M. Liu dilivered an amazing testimony. "Two weeks ago in my Sunday School, I met with an elder and wise man (Dr. Tony Lei). He told me that WBTI (Washington Business and Technology Institute) was interested in opening a special section for me which would emphasize the educational and spiritual value. As I read his business card, praise Lord! he's the President. I was quite excited and scared. I was worry not being able to answer him appoximately. I told him that I had no formal education from a bible college. As you know I've been eager to enhance my teaching in Bible with a special website for many years. Now, an angel has been sent from God for me. Just this Monday (9/18/06), I clicked on the Section ("Belinda Liu's Spiritual World" at
http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti) and I found a wonderful performance of my many years accomplishments with nice pictures has been implemented. Hallelujah! (The daily website is established and supported by the largest English newspaper in Nevada, Las Vegas Review-Journal). Through the publication of searching leaders each every seven days, the potential visitors from Internet are more than a million." *1

With sicerely love to God, nothing is impossible!

On a previous Sunday, 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. During the trip, we hsd more than 40 of them 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 fifth week on October 8, 2006. The subject is on the advanced part in the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Many enthusiatic individuals attended the Class.*2

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"):

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." *7

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.*8

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!"

Innovation is practical for a real need. It is not a random process. "When it works, it works because someone has identified a real need, and found a way to bring new ideas or new technologies to bear on that need," said Lewis W. Lehr. An innovator's life is governed by "to create" lists. She or he is incessantly pursuing new possibilities and refinning existing ones.

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

***** Make a technical contribution, innovate, don't emulate. ---David Packard
***** Any business that does not learn how to innovate within the next few years will not be around by the year 2000. ---Peter F. Drucker
***** Innovation has to be linked to a market-driven mentality, tied in with customer needs. It can't be done in a vacuum, or as innovation for its own sake. ---Jim Beard

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

"Business has only two functions," writes Peter Drucker, "marketing and innovation."
... Today, the Burma Shave commercial are highly recognized as memorable trivia.
Here's another exemplary approach combining innovation and unique marketing. ...
Innovative marketing--could it be the third function of business?

Innovation is one of the most important traits for the prosperity of American business. Hope our Pan Pacific and Asian countries may catch it as soon as possible!*9

"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.

"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. Jenny Long served the food for English Service Fellowship on October 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.*10

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!" *11

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."

The famous political leader from Nevada continued his literary and intimate writing that, "This year has been eventful for the Reid family. So, as you can see, we have the pleasure of grandchildren in each of our frequent stops, Las Vegas, Reno and Washington."

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 T. 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." If a humble individual like Dr. Lei may be treated so friendly by our Senator Reid, obviously everyone of us in Nevada and California 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." *12

Senator Harry Reid is an adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute.

"Greg Laurie's evangelistic crusade is also coming. Our church is part of this important endeavor because this provides us on occasion to co-work with other churches in our community. We want to broaden our vision and ministry beyond just our own church, and participate in this collective effort to preach the Gospel," pointed out Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*13

***** 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*14

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.*15

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.

As a famous U. S. Senator of Nevada, John Ensign has been Advisor and vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since 2000.

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.*16

"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.*17

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.*18

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*19

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).*20

Men are four:
He who knows and knows not that he knows. He is
asleep;
wake him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not.
He is a fool;
shun him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not. He is
a child;
teach him.
He who knows and knows that he knows. He is a King;
follow him.

In her speech to the Women Conference in the morning on September 22, 2006, Mrs. Belinda M. Liu dilivered an amazing testimony. "Two weeks ago in my Sunday School, I met with an elder and wise man (Dr. Tony Lei). He told me that WBTI (Washington Business and Technology Institute) was interested in opening a special section for me which would emphasize the educational and spiritual value. As I read his business card, praise Lord! he's the President. I was quite excited and scared. I was worry not being able to answer him appoximately. I told him that I had no formal education from a bible college. As you know I've been eager to enhance my teaching in Bible with a special website for many years. Now, an angel has been sent from God for me. Just this Monday (9/18/06), I clicked on the Section ("Belinda Liu's Spiritual World" at
http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti) and I found a wonderful performance of my many years accomplishments with nice pictures has been implemented. Hallelujah! (The daily website is established and supported by the largest English newspaper in Nevada, Las Vegas Review-Journal). Through the publication of searching leaders each every seven days, the potential visitors from Internet are more than a million." *1

With sicerely love to God, nothing is impossible!

On a previous Sunday, 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. During the trip, we hsd more than 40 of them 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 forth week on October 1, 2006. The subject is on the advanced part in the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Her sincerity is calling us for prayers to Israel and Jews. She explained also the story and significance of Passover. Many enthusiatic individuals attended the Class.*2

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。*3

曾多次帶? 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。*4

The Women Conference was held in Septmber 21-23, 2006 at River of Life Christian Church in Santa Clara, California. Mrs. Belinda M. Liu was one of the most important three Speakers. Thank you for your prayers for the Women Confernce starting the way that Spirit God would move in meetings and would 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.*5

"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!*6

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).

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." *7

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.*8

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.*9

"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.

"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. Jenny Long served the food for English Service Fellowship on October 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.*10

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!" *11

"As you walk into the church, you might have noticed that we value the time of worship. What is worship? According to the scriptures, it means to come before God's throne. First, you must surrender yourself before the Lord, lay down your burdens and the things that you love to boast about, and solely look at the Lord. Next, you must open your heart before the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to work in you. Let Him soften your heart, heal your soul and speak to you. Sometimes, you might have some sensation in your body such as heat or electricity flowing through you. Do not be afraid because it means He is with you. These are the manifestation of God's presence," pointed out Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*12

"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*13

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.*14

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.

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.*15

"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.*16

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.*17

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*18

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).*19

I'll stay…”「我會一直在你身邊」

If you've got secrets you want to tell, we can talk all day long.
如果你有什麼秘密想說，我會陪你長談一整晚。

If your dreams get broken somehow, I'll remind you that you belong.
如果你的美夢破滅了，我會提醒你仍然有夢。

If you need some place to hide, you can hold my hand for a while.
如果你需要一個藏身之處，我會讓你握著我的手好一會兒。

If your sky begins to fall, I'll stay with you 'til you smile.

And when nothing seems to be going right, and you need a friend...
而當一切不能盡如人意，在你最需要朋友的時候…

I'll stay.
我( 神耶和華 ) 會一直在你身邊。

I believe God --
though angry breakers
Cast their spray
Upon the shore, I know that through the storm
He'll keep me safe
Forevermore.

I believe God --
Though neither sun
Nor stars appear
For many days, I trust Him in the darkest,
Wildest Hours.
He knows my ways.

I believe God --
Though this frail ship
Be swept along
By tempest force,
I am assured at last
Of Harbor Home.
He charts my course.

This Sunday September 24, 2006, the Sermon was delivered by Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church. The subject was "The calling of God to Life". As the river that flows from the Holy Place, and the beauty of holiness brings worship anew. He mentioned that, "We've four types of 'Calling'." They are: (1) The calling to a Kingdom. (2) The calling to a Dedicated Life. (3) The calling to a Ministry. (4)The calling to You. He talked about the rising up of women in the Bible history. "At the age of 50, Pastor Kim, Founder of the largest church in Korea, came to U. S. to study English. (We do have Korean-Chinese translator for her in the Women Conference on September 21-23, 2006.) She preferred to use English, because she thought there would be more people to understand," said Pastor Liu. The 2006 theme is "Arise & Shine - Prepare the Way of the Lord." The Worship was directed by Henry Hu.

"Shalom! Tony & Judy: 我在星期一早上就收到此專欄已上網頁的好消息, 很驚� WBTI 的迅速作業, 我也將此專欄印出,與我的同工們分享, 我們都很興奮, 此專欄真是應證了神的作為超出所求所想的. 也謝謝你們給我機會與你們一起有份於神國度的擴展! Belinda," wrote Mrs. Belinda M. Liu early in the morning today to Washington Business and Technology Institute.*20

In her speech to the Women Conference in the morning on September 22, 2006, Mrs. Belinda M. Liu dilivered an amazing testimony. "Two weeks ago in my Sunday School, I met with an elder and wise man (Dr. Tony Lei). He told me that WBTI (Washington Business and Technology Institute) was interested in opening a special section for me which would emphasize the educational and spiritual value. As I read his business card, praise Lord! he's the President. I was quite excited and scared. I was worry not being able to answer him appoximately. I told him that I had no formal education from a bible college. As you know I've been eager to enhance my teaching in Bible with a special website for many years. Now, an angel has been sent from God for me. Just this Monday (9/18/06), I clicked on the Section ("Belinda Liu's Spiritual World" at
http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti) and I found a wonderful performance of my many years accomplishments with nice pictures has been implemented. Hallelujah! (The daily website is established and supported by the largest English newspaper in Nevada, Las Vegas Review-Journal). Through the publication of searching leaders each every seven days, the potential visitors from Internet are more than a million." *1

With sicerely love to God, nothing is impossible!

Last Sunday, 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. During the trip, we hsd more than 40 of them 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 third week on September 24, 2006. The subject is on the advanced part in the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Her sincerity is calling us for prayers to Israel and Jews. She explained also the story and significance of Passover. Many enthusiatic individuals attended the Class.*2

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。*3

曾多次帶? 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。*4

The Women Conference was held in Septmber 21-23, 2006 at River of Life Christian Church in Santa Clara, California. Mrs. Belinda M. Liu was one of the most important three Speakers. Thank you for your prayers for the Women Confernce starting the way that Spirit God would move in meetings and would 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.*5

"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!*6

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).

You are on Google! The searching leaders published our last Sunday's feature article. Just type your name (like "Miss Prudy Yu", "Belinda M. Liu wbti", "Ms. Abby Komashko", "Miss Mariany Lee wbti", or "Tong Liu wbti") to the searching box of Google.cn, Google.com, Aol.com, and among others, and you will find it starting from the first line of their first page. 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." *7

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.*8

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.*9

"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.

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.*10

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!" *11

"Promise God! The women conference in the past two days full of God's grace and the Spirit of God was among us. Recently, I sense God's breakthrough anoinling in our church. I feel God is leading the church entering a new realm and has opened many doors for the church. This anoinling is not only falling on the church ministry but also on every member. If you can lift up your head to set your eyes on Him, the grace of God will be poured unto you. I want to thank everyone who served in this conference especially the brothers. Because of your service, the sisters were able to concentrate on the meetings. May God reward you abundanly," pointed out Rev. Tong Liu, Senior Pastor of River of Life Christian Church, Santa Clara, California.*12

"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*13

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.*14

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.

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.*15

"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.*16

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.*17

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*18

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).*19

The following information was recived from Mr. Mike Lei. It emphazised the significance that we may create some value for this world:

我們很容易看到別人的優點。像是某人很漂亮啦，工作能力很強啦，人緣很好啦，但我們很少能看到自己的長處及自己的價值。這也許是一種傳統教育下過度謙虛的表現，因為要嚴以律己，所以對自己的要求與批評就很多，期望也就過高，常常造成否定自己的心態；認為自己很多地方都不夠好，久而久之，就產生了自卑感，失去了自信心，認為自己的存在沒什麼價值，因而活得非常消沉，甚至厭世。*2

有鑒於此，Helice Bridges女士，她在美國社會發起了一個叫做「藍色緞帶的運動」，希望能在西元二千年的時候，每一個美國人都能拿到一條她設計的藍色緞帶，上面寫著 我可以為這個世界創造一些價值.

她處處散發這樣的緞帶，鼓勵大家把緞帶送給家人和朋友，謝謝這些在我們四周的人。她也四處演講，強調每個人的價值。結果因為這些緞帶的傳送，引發了許多感人的故事，也改變了許多人的生命。

其中有一個故事十分發人深省：有一次這位女士給了一個朋友三條緞帶，希望他能送給別人。這位朋友送了一條給他不苟言笑、事事挑剔的上司，他覺得由於他的嚴厲使他多學到許多東西，另外他還多給了一條緞帶，希望他的上司能拿去送給另外一個影響他生命的人。

他的上司非常的訝異，因為所有的員工一向對他是敬而遠之。他知道自己的人緣很差，沒想到還有人會感念他嚴苛的態度，把它當做是正面的影響，而向他致謝，這使他的心頓時柔軟起來。

這個上司一個下午都若有所思的坐在辦公室裡，而後他提早下班回家，把那條緞帶給了他正值青少年期的兒子。他們父子關係一向不好，平時他忙著公務，不太顧家，對兒子也只有責備，很少讚賞。那天他懷著一顆歉疚的心，把緞帶給了兒子，同時為自己一向的態度道歉，他告訴兒子，其實他的存在帶給他這個父親無限的喜悅與驕傲，儘管他從未稱讚他，也少有時間與他相處，但是他是十分愛他的，也以他為榮。當他說完了這些話，兒子竟然號啕大哭。

他對父親說：他以為他父親一點也不在乎他，他覺得人生一點價值都沒有，他不喜歡自己，恨自己不能討父親的歡心，正準備以自殺來結束痛苦的一生，沒想到他父親的一番言語，打開了心結，也救了他一條性命。

這位父親嚇得出了一身冷汗，自己差點失去了獨生的兒子而不自知。從此改變了自己的態度，調整了生活的重心，也重建了親子關係，加強了兒子對自己的信心。

就這樣，整個家庭因為一條小小的緞帶而徹底改觀。一條藍色的緞帶為什麼有這麼大的能力？因為它是一個提醒，提醒我們看到自己的價值。提醒我們要接受自己、關愛自己。

我們是可以創造奇蹟、創造不同的人，不論我們是誰，都有這樣的能力。也只有如此，我才能看到這世界的美好、光明的一面，也才能生活得愉快，真正的去愛，去創造生命。

朋友，你收到這一條藍色的緞帶嗎？如果還沒有，希望本文就像一條藍色的緞帶送給你/妳，希望你再繼續轉送。其實，這一條藍色的緞帶就是上帝賜給我們的禮物。我們每一個人就是上帝手中的藍色緞帶。*2

***** 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. During the trip, we hsd more than 40 of them 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

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.

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:*12
***** 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

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 Christians acknowledge - with God, anything is possible.

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 7 things that you don't need to do after a meal:
**7 件在用 餐後不要做的事**

Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meals is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
*不要用餐後抽煙-專家的實驗證實用餐後抽煙比一般時間抽10根香煙有更高的致癌機率。
* Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruits 1-2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal. *用餐後不要立即吃水果-用餐後立即吃水果將導致胃部因空氣而腫脹。
因此在用餐後的2小時或是用餐前1小時吃水果是比較理想的。

Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
*不要在用餐後喝茶-因為茶葉通常含有高酸性。這種酸性物質將導致我們所攝取食物中所含 的蛋白質變硬，因此會比較難消化。

Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
*用餐後別鬆開你的腰帶-用餐後立即鬆開腰帶將讓你的腸子容易糾結和阻塞。(這個觀念怪)

Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
*不要在餐後洗澡-洗澡時會使得血液流向手、腳和我們身體的其他部位 ，因此會減少胃部中的血液量，這將會使得我們胃部的消化能力

Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In reality this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
*飯後不要散步-大家總是說"飯後走100步可以活到99歲"。但是那個觀念是錯誤的，用餐後的走動將使我們的消化系統沒有足夠 能力從我所攝取的食物中吸收足夠的營養。

* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
*用餐後不要立即睡覺-這樣我攝取的食物將沒有辦法得到適當的消化，因此可能導致胃部和腸 部的感染。

It is our pleasure to post the following two articles in Chinese:

超越憂慮，擁抱信心

你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。你們要先求祂的國和祂的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮。」（太6:32b-34）

親愛的朋友，請不要為將來憂慮。如果神愛你，又眷顧你，你的憂慮就沒有意義。然而，當神祝福你的時候，記得將你的眼目定睛在祂身上，而不是在祝福上。單純的信心有兩種：其一、它能看見神的祝福隱藏在那看來不是很完美的工作背後；其二、它能使我們「超越憂慮，擁抱信心」。*1

在信心的生活中，有時神會將祂的祝福從你身上挪開，只為教導你，祂是賞賜與收取的神；有時祂可能使你像彼得一樣，整夜勞力卻沒有打著甚麼，只為領你進入人生的水深之處；有時祂可能使你工作不順，只為將更好的機會賜給你；有時祂把你放置在身、心、靈受限制的埃及，只為預備把你領向流奶與蜜的迦南地。一個有見識的媽媽不會每日提供大魚大肉給她的孩子，也不會養成孩子挑食的習慣。你要享用祂每日賜給你的一切，不要挑剔，凡事謝恩。今天餵養你的神，明天也必照樣餵養你。在神的兒女欠缺任何東西之前，祂早已眷顧他們，使曠野中再次有嗎哪從天而降。

今天的主題談「憂慮與信心」，這是一個相當實際的問題。如何「超越憂慮，擁抱信心」？見仁見智，我們需要的是你的投入（Input）與參與。首先讓我問你一個問題：「你是一個多慮的人嗎？」甚麼因素造成你的「多慮」？為什麼在越是先進的國家，越多人用大量的藥物來控制情緒，忘掉煩腦？原因很複雜，但是有一點是可以確定的，因為他們患了「憂慮」與「信心」的失調症。憂慮與信心失調是一項致命的病。「憂慮」是你的敵人，是你成長的障礙？因為它具有毀滅你的力量。Dr. Charles Mayo說：「憂慮會影響身體循環和整個神經系統。我沒� 過有人因為工作過度而死，但我見到許多人死於憂慮。」

根據一項對美國「後現代人」的調查統計，人們所憂慮的事，
百分之四十永遠不會發生，
百分之三十已經成為事實，
另外百分之十二的憂慮是對自己的健康 顩r毫無根據的懷疑，
還有百分之十的憂慮是對日常生活瑣事的煩惱。

我們加一加就知道，只剩下百分之八的憂慮了。換句話說，有百分之九十二的憂慮是毫無意義的。如果Mayo博士的話沒錯，這些憂慮的確具有強烈的殺傷力。對這項調查統計，你有何感想？想一想自己憂慮的百分比佔多少？你能超越嗎？

如果你相信神愛你，又眷顧你，你的憂慮就沒有意義。不要憂慮那些你無法改變的事實。相反的，將精力用在積極有建樹的事上面。

如果你不喜歡你目前的 顩r，不要只是消極、憂慮、自暴自棄，而要採取行動。少憂慮，多行動，因為憂慮就像一把搖椅，永遠停留在原地。

如果在達成目標的過程中，你因為憂慮困?y和攔阻，而缺乏信心，那麼，你已經被「哀莫大於心死」纏上了。設法依靠祂來「超越憂慮，擁抱信心」。

只要你相信並接受：今天餵養你的神，也是明天要餵養你的神；只要你定睛在神身上，不懷疑，那麼，你必能看見神的祝福就隱藏在那看來不是很完美的工作背後；你必能經驗「超越憂慮，擁抱信心」的喜樂。祂的恩典日日換新，天天夠用（耶利米哀歌3:22-23；林後12:9）。

莎士比亞說：「懷疑是我們的叛徒。它令我們喪失能力，以至於因為害怕嘗試而失去勝利的機會。」
Conrad Hilton也說：「人只要有上帝的幫助和自己的投入，便有能力達成任何夢想。」

保羅說「…患難生忍耐，忍耐生老練，老練生盼望，盼望不至於羞恥。因為所賜給我們的聖靈將上帝的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」（羅5:3b-5）

耶穌說：「你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。….。所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮。」（太6:32b-34）

Reinhold Niebuhr禱告說：「主啊，懇求賜我，寧靜的心，來接受我所不能改變的事；勇氣，來改變我所能改變；智慧，來分辨兩者的差別。」
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." *2

愛恨繫於一念之間

有一對情侶，相約下班後用餐、逛街，可是女孩因公司會議而延誤。女孩坐在公車裏，著急而忐忑難安，路上的車陣及窗外的雨，更令人心底困頓茫然，深怕男友生氣；到達時已遲到30多分鐘.....。

『妳每次都這樣，妳到底還要我等多久，甚麼心情也沒了，我要走了！以後也不會再等妳！』剎時、女孩因上班時會議所受的挫折與剛剛在車上的自責，終於決堤崩潰而流淚，或許他們再也沒有未來！

同日、另一對情侶也面臨同樣的處境；女孩到達時亦已遲到半個鐘頭。『妳一定忙壞了！』接著男孩拿出手帕為她拭去臉上及手臂上的雨水，並脫去襯衫蓋在女孩身上，急忙拉著她濕冷的手，走到沒雨的走廊....。

此刻、女孩流淚了！但流過她臉頰的，卻是溫馨且能洗滌心靈的美麗雨水啊！再多的言語也比不過輕柔的身體碰觸，其釋放出愛的能量更是難以形容。

第一位女孩的眼淚，僅能讓人『心軟』，但第二位女孩的淚水，卻使人『心動』！

其實愛、恨往往僅繫於一念之間啊！如果當您等待時，每等一分鐘就在心中添加一分恨意與不滿，經過30分鐘堆積後，情緒可能像火山一般隨時爆發；相反的、您如果於等待30分鐘後，轉變一下想法....『啊！我又減少30分鐘與他/她相聚的時光，等他/她到來後，我會更珍愛眼前的一切！』結果怎樣，相信您一定比我清楚。

親愛的朋友、您知道嗎？愛不僅要懂得寬容更要及時！很多事可能只在於您心境的轉變啊！*3
