No matter the cost, go all out
When I opened the last issue of Kingdom of God Magazine, I saw a pamphlet with pictures and texts introducing the Pennsylvania Cultural Camp in August. Wow! The 14 types of camps were truly dazzling, rich and diverse, and I was deeply moved. After carefully counting the brothers and sisters in the church who I know well, there is not a single one who cannot find a certain kind of camp to attend! In order to achieve the mission of "exploring the resources of the Kingdom of God and combining them with Wei for main purposes", KRC is really going all out regardless of the cost!
However, the subtitle, content, results, qualifications, etc. of W210 "Writing Advanced and Interview Camp" were all mistakenly inserted into the introduction of W220 "Writing Advanced and Editing Camp". Fortunately, the information in the KRC handbook is correct, and those who are interested in applying should pay attention.

Since Yu is born, how can Liang be born? !
In great anticipation, I read Pastor Su Wen'an's "If I am born in a good state, how can I be bright?" ! 〉One article, although it is only the first part, is like sipping a cup of sweet and fragrant tea, and someone snatched it away from your mouth after half-drinking it, but it has the effect of whetting your appetite at the end of each episode of a TV series.
The two tragic heroes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms compete with each other, with climaxes and overwhelming momentum. The author uses sharp and vivid writing to seamlessly integrate the plot and appreciation of the story. The reader is like watching a "modern guided version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
I wonder from what angle Pastor Su will reflect on life and faith in the next issue? —This is where the master’s skills gather, and it’s exciting to look forward to!

Cover Story on the sidebar of the table of contents
I really like the small "Cover Story" section at the top right of the content page. Each title is very artistic, paired with scriptures and short essays, like a self-contained space. It's a pity that because it is printed in black and white, it cannot be printed. I saw the color expression of the painting; although the cover is printed in color, it is a small pity because there is text on it... I wonder if Cover Story can be made into a series of postcards and card sets for readers to purchase? Although there are many products of this type in church study rooms, such original works are rare.

You really need to taste it yourself!
Reading Kingdom Magazine is one of those moments of personal joy.
The theme introduced in each issue is different. It is like a snack when I take a break in the afternoon, sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter; it is also like watching a good movie with my family, sometimes happy and sometimes sad.
A line from the movie "Forrest Gump" (1994): "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get." I personally read every new issue of "The Kingdom of God Magazine" The cover feels like this.

Unique art editor of the Kingdom of God
I received the 19th issue of your magazine. As usual, I first enjoyed the "cover story" and tried not to read the cover description of the catalog. I first used my own observations to explain the meaning of the pattern.
The first time I received your magazine three years ago, I was shocked by the cover. The cover of your magazine is very different from the covers of other Christian publications. The pattern is bold and distinctive, unique and full of abstract artistic creativity. To be honest, sometimes I can’t see the real meaning that the painter wants to express. But after reading the captions, I was moved by the originality and meaning of the artist Zhou Lanhui.
A picture is worth a thousand words. I have become more and more appreciative of the groundbreaking nature of your magazine, and I have fallen in love with its cover. I would like to express my gratitude to your magazine’s art editor.

Always read the opening article by Gao Lili first
Every time I receive Kingdom of God magazine, I always read the opening article by Sister Gao Lili. In just one page, she never forgets to share the grace of God in her life. Sister Li Li can be regarded as a "busy person", but in her busy life, she can always experience God's grace, which is real and delicate. I myself have been very busy recently. I often have to work overtime at work, and I have two children to take care of when I get home. Sister Li Li’s testimony reminded me that I need to experience God in my busy life. I also learned to temporarily put down what I was doing at work, turn my heart to God, and say to the Lord for one minute: “Lord, I love you! Give me the strength to do everything I do to the glory of your name.”

"Chastity before marriage", who is accepting the challenge?
"Sex" is the topic that Chinese people are most ashamed to talk about. It is also an unavoidable problem that you have to face when you have a daughter or a son growing up. When children want to watch "THE MOVIE" and mothers want to have "THE TALK" with their children, are we ready? "Chastity before marriage", who is accepting the challenge? Our children have oriental faces and are immersed in Western culture at heart; they are young Christians born in Chinese families, but they live in Generation E with chaotic standards. Faced with the excitement of youth and peer pressure, how do they win? What do you rely on to win? The three articles by Meihui, Shuman, and Jiahua are from different angles, opening windows for us and giving us more thoughts.

Charity, the best investment
I read the Chinese and English article "Walking on Water" in the March magazine and it was very enlightening. The author Eric Vogen learned from Peter that the Lord Jesus walked on the water, pointing out that sometimes our faith is like the experience of walking on the water. He mentioned that when his friend faced fear, "experience, confidence, and skill" were his antidote. The author encourages us to face our fears bravely. One of the ways he suggested we get rid of fear is to “give charitable gifts to others.” This reminds me of Paul’s emphasis in Acts 20, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Giving can exercise faith; Beyond fear, this is truly the best investment!

Seeing the missionary needs in my hometown
In the 19th issue of Kingdom of God Magazine, I saw the report on missionary work in Taiwan. I was inspired and deeply moved! I feel very guilty that I have believed in the Lord for more than 30 years but did not know that there was a need for missionary work in my hometown!
However, God does love the Hakka people in Taiwan. Through the words in the "Kingdom of God Magazine" I was reminded: As a Hakka Christian, like the apostle Paul, we should say to the Lord Jesus: "Lord, to the missionary work to the Hakka people in Taiwan, What should I do?”
May God greatly bless the "Kingdom of God" ministry, bear more fruit for the Lord, and become a blessing to the Chinese church worldwide.
