hope and action
KRC’s co-worker prayer meeting is held every two weeks, scheduled on Thursday evening. During the prayer meeting, we pray for each other for the Kingdom of God ministry and for the big and small matters in the co-workers’ homes. Starting from 2020, at the year-end prayer meeting, everyone will share the representative word of that year.
My 2021 representative name is "see”. For many people, 2021 is a very confusing and confusing year. Since the "emergence" of the new coronavirus, it feels like many decisions have been influenced by the virus, such as whether to get vaccinated? Which vaccine should be given? How many shots do you need to be considered "immune"? Does the school need to be physical, or should it continue online and physically? When will you return to work in the physical company? How to regulate epidemic prevention procedures...etc.
There is so much information coming from all over the place that it is overwhelming, like walking at a crossroads and not knowing which direction to go. As a member of the editorial team of "Kingdom of God" magazine, I have the first "first-hand" access to articles that discuss current issues. I see the workplace from a steward's perspective; I analyze culture, social phenomena, and relationships from the perspective of knowledge and action. ;Broaden the perspective of outreach with neighbor reports. God allowed me to see from these manuscripts "hope”.
At the same time, we still have to face many uncertainties and controversies, and we also have to make choices and decisions among them. So it is necessary to "look up"God, keep your eyes on the truth, and He will lead us on the right path.
What kind of year will 2022 be? I think it will be "OK” year. Perhaps words related to "restrictions" such as epidemic prevention, isolation, quarantine, remoteness, distance, etc. will still appear, but there are still many ways for Christians to take them.

In 2022, "Kingdom of God" magazine will continue to be dedicated to discussing different issues, with each unit starting from different aspects, not only providing knowledge, but also inspiring action, without being limited by generational changes.For example, Pastor Wen Yongxu in the family unit "Is the new crown the end of the modern world?" (Part 3)—Rethinking the Theory of Man” said that we need to dynamically participate in God’s redemption, rather than statically possess God’s redemption.
I hope that your and my thinking, vision, attitude, thoughts, and vision can break out of the limitations set in front of us and get up and walk!
