„¢Ã·ÀÙŽŸÄ¸Åc¡º±¶¶÷Ê·îÖÐÐÄ¡»
By Jennifer KungBlessed 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.
--Jeremiah 17:7-8 of the Bible

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 ("±¶¶÷Ê·îÖÐÐÄ"):

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.

"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
