If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't!
If you want to win, but think you can't,
It's almost cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of the mind.

Life's battle don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

---Walter D. Wintle

After reading the section of 'Belinda Liu's Spiritual World", Miss Susan Dai was impressed and wrote us an e-mail of thanks at the night on October 10, 2006 from San Jose, California.*20

"Hello Dr. Lei and Judy, Here are a few pictures from my trip to the Philippines. I enjoyed my travels and fortunately, it did not rain while I was there for 11 days. There was good food to eat and the landscape was marvelous. Cheryl," wrote Cheryl Moss, District Court (Family) Judge of Nevada.*19

The following is an example of Mrs. Belinda M. Liu's Sunday School printouts:

... A. 火蛇與銅蛇
1. 以東人不准以色人過境

2. 在何珥瑪勝了迦南人

3. 繞以東地

4. 火蛇與銅蛇

"It is only with the dedication and commitment of good people like yourself that I will achieve my goal of becoming Governor of this great state. Dema and I can't thank you enough for your assistance and your positive activivities in the community," wrote Dr. Kenny C. Guinn in a letter to President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Kenny Guinn is now Governor of Nevada, U. S. A.

[[[Announcement: Mrs. Belinda M. Liu's current Sunday School booklet (printouts) is published at the second flier from the bottom (page 2) of this Section today.]]]

"Brilliant! I found my own name and my Section's name ("Belinda Liu wbti" and "Belinda Liu's Spiritual World") in the first line of their first page on Google.com, Google.cn, Aol.com, and among others! Since my computer was in a small operating difficulty, I'll e-mail you with an attachment of this week's Sunday School printout as soon as possible," said Mrs. Belinda M. Liu to Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei in the morning on October 8, 2006 at the Sunday School of River Life Christian Church.*18

"Dear Dr. Lei, Thanks for your helping. I saw the information showing on your website. The other links also are so great. It would be much help for people to get some information from the website. Thank you so much. God bless, Prudy," wrote Miss Prudy Yu to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

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.*17

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 that, "...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.

"Great job Dad! I'm very impressed, especially with the photos. God has gifted you with many years of experience to do this good work. Praise the Lord! I pray He will continue to bless you with strength, wisdom, and humility to do this service. May He receive all the glory and honor through your good work!"

"Thank you for sharing your pictures of your missions trip to Africa. We are so happy looking those wonderful faces of African people,their smiles shows the great joy that they have in the Lord. Truly, God's love is for everybody and that every tribes and every nations will praise the name of the Lord. We rejoice and greatly encourage of God's wonderful works in Africa. We are going to show this picture to our brethren here in Cambodia to let them know we are one big family in the Lord all over the world. Thanks and God Bless. Leofe," forwarded to Washington Business and Technology Institute by John Lei from the e-mail of Leofe, a missionary supported by Seattle's Bread of Life Christian Church. The Missionary is in Cambodia, Asia.*3

"Thanks for all your prayers. Sorry, finally got a chance to do the email. I attached a prayer journal. Hope it will help you understand the prayer and praises so far. Thanks for your continual prayers for us," wrote Mike Lei from Taipei, Taiwan.*4

"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?鹩蟹蒽渡駠鹊臄U展! Belinda," wrote Mrs. Belinda M. Liu early in the morning today to Washington Business and Technology Institute.*5

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." *6

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 15, 2006. The subject was on the advanced part in the chapter of "Numbers" of the Bible. Many enthusiatic individuals attended the Class.*7

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。*8

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。*9

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.*10

"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!*11

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." *12

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.*13

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!"

[[[How to acquire knowledge?]]]: The desire to persuit knowledge is for everybody. A wise man is always open to and looks for new ideas. One of the most precious human resource is the desire to improve. People can learn much by doing.

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

***** It may be all right to be content with what you have; never with what you are. ---B. C. Forbes
***** "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." ---Socrates
***** It's not where you are today that counts. It's where you are headed. ---Arthur F. Lenehan
***** Dicovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different. ---Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
***** The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. ---Mark Twain

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

A young, devoted follower of Socrates pleaded with him to share the secret of acquired knowledge. Socrates willingly consented and led the young man to a river. "This is how," Socrates stated as he pushed the young man into the river, and then jumping in himself, he held the young man's head underwater. The young man struggled frantically to free himself, but Socrates held him tight and kept his head submerged.
Finally, after the young man scratched, clawed, and fought with every ounce of his being, he was able to break loose and emerge from the water. Socrates then asked him, "When you thought you were drowning, what one thing did you want most of all?"
Still grasping for breath, the young man exclaimed, "I wanted air!" Socrates smiled and then wisely commented, "When you want knowledge as much as you wanted air, then you will get it!"

Usually, change and growth will come at the time when we take a conscious step forward out of the anxiety and into activity. We are not a being to stand still. We are a being in the process of becoming. The more we enable us to become, the more we fulfill our true missions.*14

"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, 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

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).*15

It is our pleasure to post the address of River of Life Christian Church's website:

rolcc.net

"I have to thank my parents for never giving up on me and for all the rentless prayers that they had prayed for me. I look back and realize that it's been almost 5 years that my mom has been interceding for me," wrote Miss Frances Liu, Berlinda's daughter.*16 It is quoted from one of the prefaces of the book "「為孩子的屬靈品格禱告」". The book was written by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu.

[[[I felt God touch My soul]]]
I fel God touch my soul today --
What holy, tranquil rest!
What blessed hope through faith in
Him
Came surging through my breast!
My mind was clear, my heart made pure,
Touched by His sacred flame,
Plus every joy I could possess,
Through faith in Jesus' name.

One touch from God, our Friend divine,
Gives strength each trying hour,
And lends us courage, grace and love
To foil the tempter's power.
Touch me again, oh, so much!
Please keep me zealous for thy cause,
Encouraged by thy touch.

---F. W. Davis

***** A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues. ---Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Brilliant! I found my own name and my Section's name ("Belinda Liu wbti" and "Belinda Liu's Spiritual World") in the first line of their first page on Google.com, Google.cn, Aol.com, and among others! Since my computer was in a small operating difficulty, I'll e-mail you with an attachment of this week's Sunday School printout as soon as possible," said Mrs. Belinda M. Liu to Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei in the morning on October 8, 2006 at the Sunday School of River Life Christian Church.*19

"Dear Dr. Lei, Thanks for your helping. I saw the information showing on your website. The other links also are so great. It would be much help for people to get some information from the website. Thank you so much. God bless, Prudy," wrote Miss Prudy Yu to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

"Dear Dr. and Mrs. Lei, It's my pleasure to visit the Section 'Belinda Liu's Spiritual World' of WBTI's website! It's very impressive. I found it on Google.com, Google.cn, and Aol.com. After reading its feature articles and Sunday School printouts, my sincere love and belief to God have very much been enhanced," wrote Miss Jennilee Phan to WBTI from Las Vegas, Nevada. Jennilee is an outstanding realtor. Her website address is www.PHANtasticteam.com.

"We had a smooth trip to Guangzhou. We went to an Autumn moon festival family gathering. We're in Shenzhen also. Wonderful is the grand opening of Section "Belinda Liu's Spiritual World"! I'm very impressed. After reading its feature articles and Sunday School printouts, my sincere love and belief to Jesus Christ have very much been increased and blessed," wrote Mike Lei from Xing Jiang, China to Washington Business and Technology Institute.

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.*18

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 that, "...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.

I pray He will continue to bless you with strength, wisdom, and humility to do this service. May He receive all the glory and honor through your good work!"

The Sunday School held by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu on October 8, 2006 was impressive. We had many sisters and brothers including Miss Ying-Min Huang, Mr. Yang Shao, Mrs. Judy Lei, Miss Vanessa Li, Mr. John Lei, Miss Angel Lo, Dr. Tony Lei, and among others.

"Thank you for sharing your pictures of your missions trip to Africa. We are so happy looking those wonderful faces of African people,their smiles shows the great joy that they have in the Lord. Truly, God's love is for everybody and that every tribes and every nations will praise the name of the Lord. We rejoice and greatly encourage of God's wonderful works in Africa. We are going to show this picture to our brethren here in Cambodia to let them know we are one big family in the Lord all over the world. Thanks and God Bless. Leofe," forwarded to Washington Business and Technology Institute by John Lei from the e-mail of Leofe, a missionary supported by Seattle's Bread of Life Christian Church. The Missionary is in Cambodia, Asia.*3

"Thanks for all your prayers. Sorry, finally got a chance to do the email. I attached a prayer journal. Hope it will help you understand the prayer and praises so far. Thanks for your continual prayers for us," wrote Mike Lei from Taipei, Taiwan.*4

"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.*5

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." *6

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.*7

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。*8

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。*9

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.*10

"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!*11

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." *12

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.*13

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!"

[[[Leadership is love --- a way to reaching a goal]]]: In our real world, people are led by leaders. A successful leader is consistently follwed by others. People follow because they have a belief in the direction, intergrity, and competence of the one leading.

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

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

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

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

"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, 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

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).*15

[[[Appreciation]]]

I have often had occasion
As the paths of life I tread,
Just to watch folks get some
little gift
And hear the things they said.

For some there are who take the gift
As though it was their due,
And never think of speaking
Of their gratefulness to you.

And some there are who gush until
You wish that they would cease.
The less the gratitude they feel,
The more their words increase.

But some there are who let
you know,
with words both deep and true,
How much they do appreciate
The little things you do.

Although I know we should not act
Just for the thanks we get,
Real gratitude, and well expressed,
Will bring us no regret.

It's easier far, to serve again
The one who lets you know
That he appreciates your help,
And gladly tells you so.

---Vera Beall Parker

"Great job Dad! I'm very impressed, especially with the photos. God has gifted you with many years of experience to do this good work. Praise the Lord!

The Sunday School held by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu on October 1, 2006 was impressive. We had many sisters and brothers including Miss Ying-Min Huang, Mr. Yang Shao, Mrs. Judy Lei, Miss Vanessa Li, Mr. John Lei, Miss Angel Lo, Dr. Tony Lei, and among others.

"Thank you for sharing your pictures of your missions trip to Africa. We are so happy looking those wonderful faces of African people,their smiles shows the great joy that they have in the Lord. Truly, God's love is for everybody and that every tribes and every nations will praise the name of the Lord. We rejoice and greatly encourage of God's wonderful works in Africa.

Leofe," forwarded to Washington Business and Technology Institute by John Lei from the e-mail of Leofe, a missionary supported by Seattle's Bread of Life Christian Church. The Missionary is in Cambodia, Asia.*3

"Thanks for all your prayers. Sorry, finally got a chance to do the email. I attached a prayer journal. Hope it will help you understand the prayer and praises so far. Thanks for your continual prayers for us," wrote Mike Lei from Taipei, Taiwan.*4

"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.*5

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." *6

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. Many enthusiatic individuals attended the Class.*7

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。*8

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。*9

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.*10

"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!*11

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 "belinda liu wbti", "Miss Prudy Yu", "劉梅蕾師母 wbti", "Miss Orchid Soh 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." *12

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.*13

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.*14

"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 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

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).*15

The Women Conference held by Double-Portion Ministries on September 21-23, 2006 has been very successful. It was held in the River of Life Christian Church, Santa, Clara, California. As we know that, "這是一個婦女興起的時代，過去十多年來，看見社會上越來越多的女性站在領導的層面." The three most important Speakers were: 趙鏞基師母 (Dr. Kim); Dr. Petrina Guneratnam; and Mrs. Belinda M. Liu (劉梅蕾師母)". It is right to agree with that, "屬神的女人, 興起發光".*1

It is our pleasure to post the following information of the Double-Portion Ministries on it's 2006 Women Conference. This is the first and opening day of the Conference. It is held by the Ministries in River of Life Christian Church at Santa Clara, Californis. Praise God! Mrs. Belinda M. Liu will be one of the most important three Speakers:

2006 姊妹特會 9/21-9/23

"屬神的女人, 興起發光"

這是一個婦女興起的時代，過去十多年來，看見社會上越來越多的女性站在領導的層面，許多大公司重用女性，如HP、eBay等公司女總裁。此外，神更是在各處大大興起五重職事的女使徒、女先知、女教師、女牧師及傳好信息的婦女。

在這末後的日子，神應許祂的靈要澆灌屬祂的使女們；神正以前所未有的方式呼召屬神的女人，從各國各民各族各家各行業及各樣攔阻中被釋放出來。每個女人都有神所賦予的獨特，如何全然發展妳的潛能，去履行神為妳生命所定的旨意，讓女人內裡生命所蘊藏的火花，召聚起來，成為興起發光的大群，在這末後的時代預備大豐收。

今年的特會神以厚恩待我們，請到了韓國純福音中央教會趙鏞基牧師的師母趙金聖惠牧師，這是全世最大的教會，也是最看重及重用婦女的教會。與趙師母一起配搭分享主題信息的Dr. Petrina 是馬來西亞最大教會的師母，另外尚有多位恩膏滿溢的講員帶領精彩專題講座。此次特會美國、中國、韓國、馬來西亞、加拿大能聯結一起，初嘗一點天上寶座前，各國各民的聚集敬拜，真是一大祝福！

Belinda is a woman of prayers. She always prays to God for others. 基督教藝文作家 娃柔（區師母）described Belinda as in the following:

劉師母是一個禱告的人，當她全神貫注、情詞迫切地為人禱告、向神呼求時，因著神的同在及憐憫，常有奇妙的事發生。

劉師母是一個認真學習的人，她虛心學習，忠心教導，靈命不斷進深，生命有聖靈的果子，眼中流露出愛的光芒，她是一個美麗的女人，因為愛神的女人最美。

她是劉彤牧師身旁的賢內助、好幫手，哈利路亞！*4

"I have to thank my parents for never giving up on me and for all the rentless prayers that they had prayed for me. I look back and realize that it's been almost 5 years that my mom has been interceding for me," wrote Miss Frances Liu, Berlinda's daughter.*5 It is quoted from one of the prefaces of the book "「為孩子的屬靈品格禱告」". The book was written by Mrs. Belinda M. Liu.

Wish you a very successful conference!

Blessed is the man/woman who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in Him.
He/she will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.

Mrs. Belinda M. Liu is the Founder of Double-Portion Ministries ("倍恩事奉中心"). The Women Conference on September 21-23, 2006 will be held by Double-Portion Ministries (『倍恩事奉中心』) under the leadership of Mrs. Senior Pastor Belinda Liu in River of Life Christian Church at Santa Clara, California.

John Keats said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. By reading the following parts of the hisory of "倍恩事奉中心", it may lead us to envision some of Belinda's spiritual world:

"九二年時，劉梅蕾師母身處於忙碌壓力重重的矽谷，接觸並感受許多的婦女，在婚姻、生活中面臨許多的衝突、掙扎、無奈與傷害，甚至失落了自己的角色與定位，因此開始了白天的姊妹聚會。透過神話語的教導及在聖靈裏禱告的服事，許多的姊妹不僅被神觸摸，心靈得到醫治，進而經歷箴言中的話語 ?才德的婦人，他丈夫心裏倚靠他。?
九八年時，領受列王紀下二章九節的經文 ?願感動你的靈加倍的感動我?。 於是 『倍恩事奉中心』正式立案了。盼望每一位姊妹都能得著加倍的恩膏，帶出加倍恩典的 事奉以擴展神的國。
這些年間常聽見一個信息?末世宣教的棒子要交在中國人的手中?， 而中國婦女的角色在那裡呢？ 就在二零零四年，神感動我們舉辦了單為姐妹的特會。 神將以斯帖的信息放在心中，?焉知你得了王后的位份，不是為現今的機會嗎？?深願姐妹在神國中有王女的位份，是尊貴榮美的， 並看重這位份，抓住機會，姐妹可以成為改變時代的婦女。
這是一個婦女興起的時代，神應許這末後的日子，神的靈要澆灌神的使女們，在守望台上堵住破口，奪得仇敵的城門，傳好息的婦女要成了大群，使求告主名的都要得救。
我們的使命
幫助婦女找到自己的角色與價值。
順著聖靈的運行，服事姊妹經歷醫治與釋放。
教導神的話語，使信仰紮根於真理。
建造姊妹成為有能力的代求者。
激勵婦女興起成為傳好信息的大羣。
透過傳播媒體，傳揚神所託付的異象與使命。
是跨教會的婦女事工." *2

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.*3

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"):

"當我想到主耶穌在世上時, 傳天國的福音, ?t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.*6

"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!*7

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." *8

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.*9

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:

Enthusiasm is important, especially very important to many things in our lives. We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** There is nothing greater than enthusiasm. ---Henry Moore
***** If you don't have enthusiasm, you don't have anything. ---Kemmons Wilson, Sr.
***** Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm. ---Tom Peters

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

The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek roots en and theos and means "God within." It is a fire, a passion within. Real enthusiasm is not something you "put on" and "take off " to fit the occasion. It is a way of life.
Apparently Theodore Roosevelt possessed that kind of passionate lifestyle. In 1883, according to Bernard Levin, writing in Enthusiasms (Crown Publishers), Roosevelt went buffalo hunting in the Badlands of South Dakota with a single companion, Joe Ferris. They nearly died of thirst, and they slept on the ground, saddles their only pillows. One night wolves caused their horses to bolt, and it took some time for the fleeing beasts to be recaptured. The men went back to sleep; it began to rain heavily and they awoke, finding themselves lying in four inches of water. Shivering between sodden blankets, Ferris heard Teddy Roosevelt exclaim, "By Godfrey, but this is fun!"
Now that's enthusiasm!*10

"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.*11

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!" *12

"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.*13

"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*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.*16

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.*17

"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.*18

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.*19

We believe the spiritual significance of "To serve and to give heartily". The English Service of River of Life Christian Church is blessing!*20

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).*21

九二年時，劉梅蕾師母身處於忙碌壓力重重的矽谷，接觸並感受許多的婦女，在婚姻、生活中面臨許多的衝突、掙扎、無奈與傷害，甚至失落了自己的角色與定位，因此開始了白天的姊妹聚會。透過神話語的教導及在聖靈裏禱告的服事，許多的姊妹不僅被神觸摸，心靈得到醫治，進而經歷箴言中的話語 ”才德的婦人，他丈夫心裏倚靠他。” *1

九四年，神以詩篇六十八篇11節 “主發命令，傳好信息的婦女成了大群 ” 勉勵我們。於是原本小小姊妹聚會，由一個成為三個不分教會的姊妹聚會。

九五年時，姊妹聚會又承接了一個新的使命，在耶利米書三十一章22節 “耶和華在地上造了一件新事，就是女子護衛男子”。參與聚會的姊妹都願意成為代求者，不但以禱告來護衛自己的丈夫及家庭，也為弟兄們的興起、教會的復興及神國度的擴展來禱告。

九八年時，領受列王紀下二章九節的經文 “願感動你的靈加倍的感動我”。 於是

『倍恩事奉中心』正式立案了。盼望每一位姊妹都能得著加倍的恩膏，帶出加倍恩典的 事奉以擴展神的國。

二零零二年，當倍恩事工進入第十個年頭時，然而，神不要我們停留在過去的恩典中，乃要踏上更新的路。 於是倍恩事奉中心，在十週年感恩會時，由白天區域性的姐妹會，擴張為跨教會國度性的事奉。由原本為家庭主婦而有的聚會，轉型成為所有婦女都可參加的聚會。

這些年間常聽見一個信息”末世宣教的棒子要交在中國人的手中”， 而中國婦女的角色在那裡呢？ 就在二零零四年，神感動我們舉辦了單為姐妹的特會。 神將以斯帖的信息放在心中，”焉知你得了王后的位份，不是為現今的機會嗎？”深願姐妹在神國中有王女的位份，是尊貴榮美的， 並看重這位份，抓住機會，姐妹可以成為改變時代的婦女。

而在二零零五年, 透過”倒出香膏”的姐妹特會, 再次經歷生命的破碎, 是可以成為香氣滿屋蒙記念的美事。女人的眼淚可以不必為自己流，而為愛神、愛人、愛靈魂而流。

這是一個婦女興起的時代，神應許這末後的日子，神的靈要澆灌神的使女們，在守望台上堵住破口，奪得仇敵的城門，傳好息的婦女要成了大群，使求告主名的都要得救。

我們的使命

幫助婦女找到自己的角色與價值。
順著聖靈的運行，服事姊妹經歷醫治與釋放。
教導神的話語，使信仰紮根於真理。
建造姊妹成為有能力的代求者。
激勵婦女興起成為傳好信息的大羣。
透過傳播媒體，傳揚神所託付的異象與使命。
是跨教會的婦女事工.*2

在我三歲時，被鄰居帶到兒童主日學中，接受了耶穌成為我的救主，從此就在教會的環境中長大， 曾在初中時有一心願，盼望將來能成為一位師母………感謝神於1985年我和丈夫踏上了牧會之路。*1

然而在九二年時，我強烈的渴望被聖靈充滿， 盼望神的能力彰顯出來，更盼望傳福音的火燒旺起來, 因此那一年我參加了Vineyard 所舉辦的 “進深醫治訓練”特會，目的是被聖靈充滿。 感謝神，當我被聖靈充滿時， 神將一段經文深植在我心中： “禍哉 以色列的牧人只知牧養自己，牧人豈不當牧養群羊嗎? 你們吃脂油、穿羊毛、宰肥壯的、卻不牧養群羊，瘦弱的、你們沒有養壯，有病的，你們沒有醫治，受傷的、你們沒有纏裹，被逐的、你們沒有領回，失喪的、 你們沒有尋找……….” (以西結書34章2-4節) 神藉著這段經文再次將牧者的心, 放進我裡面，看見周圍有許多瘦弱, 有病, 受傷, 失喪的人。

過去在牧養教會及在婦女中服事時, 遇到有需要的人, 不知如何幫助, 有時甚至想逃避. 但這次被聖靈充滿後, 憐憫之心油然而生。 每每聽見別人的難處時, 我的眼淚就會掉下來, 常常在神面前哭泣說: “主啊! 我當如何幫助這些人呢?” 從那時起神激發我一個迫切禱告的心, 學習聆聽神的聲音, 敏銳聖靈的帶領, 漸漸進入恩膏中的服事。*2

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」。*3

第一講 簡介

民數記有兩方面的意思, 希伯來原文的意思是在曠野, 希臘文原意是數點之意,

因此兩意合在一起是 ”在曠野數點人數”. 目的是要動員百姓, 預備爭戰, 進入

應許之地迦南, 但以色列人不信, 因此在曠野漂流四十年, 經歷了舊的一代過去,

看見神的公義與嚴厲, 新的一代興起, 看見神的憐憫與恩慈. 民數記可說是以色列

人曠野飄流史, 神也藉這經歷作為我們屬靈歷程的鑑戒. “要謹慎, 免得有人存著不信的惡心把永生神離棄了, 我們若將起初的信心, 堅持到底, 就在基督裡有分了.

民數記中的表記: 銅蛇舉起(民 21:8-9; 約3:14-15)

民數記中的基督: 祂是雲柱火柱 (民 9:15-20; 林前10:1-2)

祂是出於雅各的星，興於以色列的杖(民24:17)

祂是出水的磐石(民20, 出17:6, 林前10:4)

民數記中聖靈的工作: 民11:16-17, 25-26, 29
