 Sharing & Testimony… Brother Yang
God is an awesome God, who keeps His covenant of love; with His
mouth He has promised and with His hand He has fulfilled it—as it is
today (Nehemiah 9:32; 1 Kings 8:24) .
™ Starting from 2003, CBCGN has been praying that God would give us a
building so that the kingdom of God would grow here on earth.
™ The vision was shared among our brothers and sisters at CBCGN.
Everyone’s heart was moved by God, preparing to buy a church building
((the house of the Lord)) in the g
greater Nashua area.
™ Church Building Committee was also established. Committee members
prayed and planned hand-in-hand seeking the guidance from the Lord
and doing all the work they need
need.
™ In searching the building over the past few years, God indeed
led us to experience
p His faithfulness in an amazingg way.y Yes,
when we are all ready for the promised land He is determined
to give us, not only we now can enter it, but also we’ll be able
to take His abundant blessings after we have it!
Sharing & Testimony… 連姐妹
「老師，我們帶了奉獻來，甚麼時候能投入奉獻袋裡？」「先收好
別著急，等到敬拜時再拿出來。」主日學每一個孩子的眼光中都閃
爍著興奮與期待，因為我們終於買堂了！
這幾年來孩子們的印象中，教會總是不斷地在搬遷，也經常借不
同的場地舉辦各項聚會。二十幾個孩子擠在同一個小房間裡是常
有的事，有時桌椅都排好了，臨場卻發現太擁擠而必須收起桌椅，
大家趴坐在地上進行節目直到聚會結束。他們雖從未抱怨場地的
不方便，但是身為主日學老師的我們卻深深體會到確實是不夠用
了。
一聽見買堂有很大的進展，有位小朋友將自己的存錢
筒全數捐出，也有幾位小朋友將慶祝生日的花費節省
下來當成建堂奉獻，更有無法計數的禱告共同支持著
建堂的異象，可見神何等寶貝這群孩子，使他們得以
在年幼時參與祂的聖工，我們也在其中一起經歷生命
的成長與蛻變 願為這一切獻上無限感恩
的成長與蛻變，願為這一切獻上無限感恩！
