How can you be moved without taking action?

In order to write this issue of Kingdom of God Exchange, I had the privilege to take a sneak peek and read every article in each unit carefully. As I read and read, I couldn't help but shed tears. For such wonderful and rich content, for the many precious information in it, for the uncomplaining commitment of the editorial team around the world, and for the Holy Spirit’s obvious integration and coordination work, I can only loudly praise the richness of God the Father, Thank Him for His grace and beg Him to continue to accept this offering that is designed to shock and shock in this age of darkness.

But I know very well that God the Father often lets us go through various trials to understand His will, just like the Lord Jesus needs to become flesh and be completely restricted to express His ultimate love to us. The many situations that members of the editorial team and volunteer team, including myself, have experienced in recent months have confirmed this truth. Teacher Jiang Haiqiong from this summer’s cultural camp’s “Art of Caring Workshop” had to urgently seek medical help due to the rapid deterioration of her muscular dystrophy. Human substitution is a living example (please read the explanation on page 7). Therefore, this issue of "Kingdom of God Magazine" and July's cultural practice camp can still be presented before God and you without any compromise. This is a miracle!

In the talent section of this issue, two economists Zheng Mingzhi and Wen Yingqian’s "Ideas to Promote the Green Energy Industry", and the community unit "Job in the Green Pepper Fields", "Shifting Back", "Bagel Can Talk" and other exciting The reports echo each other, and people are convinced to be inspired to participate in this large procession of saving the earth, rescuing hunger, and combating waste. Eric Fu's "A Penny's Inspiration" completely connects earthly concerns with the spiritual level, fills all the gaps, and inspires you and me to live a life that pleases God.

The three articles in the outreach unit challenge Christians, churches, and preachers. I earnestly pray for the readers, hoping that God, through the in-depth reporting and analysis of "The Emergence of Family Churches" and "Emerging Churches in the Postmodern Trend", will give the Chinese church the greatest inspiration to bravely face the rapidly changing world and not shy away from the ups and downs. Controversial issues and phenomena have emerged, and we should seriously consider how to respond to the thinking patterns and expressions of the next generation of Christians that are different from traditional church culture.

In the cultural section, the first lecture "Water Margin" by senior writer Pastor Su Wen'an on "Appreciation of the Four Great Chinese Classic Novels" opened my eyes and made me full of expectations. As we discuss the most cutting-edge and modern issues, his masterpiece connects us, 21st century Christian readers, to the vast treasure trove of wisdom from the ancients. Ms. Qiu Qingping's article "Gods are separated, people cannot cooperate" is very touching and refreshing. In the section "KRC and You", I admire Lin Minwen's "Abba, Teach Me How to Make Bread" for its closeness to the Father; Wu Xinhui's "Flying with Words" is a lively, free and ever-changing text. In the relationship unit "Forgiveness Process", the story of Jingzi and her mother's grudges made me cry from beginning to end... From cover to back cover, article after article, I can't put it down and can't describe it all.

"The message must first move you, and then you can move others." The content of this issue really shocked my heart. I hope you will also receive a profound reminder and strong challenge, rise up to respond, and bravely step out of your comfort zone. Such a response, of course, also includes making up your mind immediately to sign up for the Kingdom of God Resource Culture Practice Camp to be held in Pennsylvania from July 8 to 19, paying the price to receive equipment, and discovering that your gifts are used by God (see the left page) Camp introduction).
