What is in Your Hand?

By Linda Pang

Open your hands, what do you have?

Nothing?

What can you do with empty hands?

This may be what the disciples were thinking when they looked at their empty hands when they heard Jesus say, "Give them something to eat" in front of the crowds sitting on the slope!
接下來發生的，是四福音書都記載的五餅二魚神蹟—門徒勉強找到一點點食物，半信半疑交到夫子手中；耶穌擘開、遞給門徒，門徒再傳給人。12個人在一連串的動作中，眼睜睜看見很多很多人得飽足，還有滿滿12籃的剩餘。

This happens all the time in the kingdom of God. A family with no heirs becomes a big family; a little oil that bottoms out fills many bottles and jars; the call in a dream leads to prayer by the river, and the gospel enters a new territory. When people put a little bit of their resources into God’s hands, God will achieve riches and bless everyone.

本期管家單元〈與歲月和好，一路前行〉，回顧為退休預備財務、健康、婚姻、靈命，讓金秋歲月成為祝福人的資本。家人單元〈在祂裡面的連結〉，記述對小留學生的關愛，連結成KRC與國度的祝福。鄰舍單元報導兩種外展：面對面分享食物；AI＋領導力的網上培訓。方式不同，平台不同，初衷卻是一樣—讓更多人同得福音的好處。

These authors and interviewees all used their faith and courage to hand over their seemingly little experience, enthusiasm, and expertise to God. They received abundance from the hands that created heaven and earth, and then worked with others to deliver blessings. This is the theme of KRC2024—

God connects me in many ways and produces many good results.

The focus articles in this issue are "Funding, Assistance, Cooperation" and "Small Loan, Big Help", which explore different forms of charity relief. We hope that you and I can use the resources at hand to help others with a kind, loyal and knowledgeable stewardship mentality. Help the poor, build lives, and seek sustainable operations to create lasting and far-reaching impacts.

Since its inception in 2005, "Kingdom of God" hopes to challenge readers to observe the kingdom, think about the times, and make forward-looking and breakthrough responses with confidence and courage through the discussion of each article and the report of each ministry and person. Due to changes in readers' age groups and reading habits, the paper magazine will be reduced to three issues starting in 2024, but new articles will be published in the online magazine from time to time, and audio-visual multimedia is also being produced. Such a bold attempt posed a huge challenge to a team with limited manpower and experience.

The ministry goals of Project Arctos, the English department of KRC: Commune, Create, Connect, is the driving force that supports us to move forward.


No matter what you have in your hands, be eager to grab the resources and connect with things; stretch your arms to connect with each other; raise your hands to the sky to connect with God. While experiencing abundance, also abundantly
Bless many people.
