亲爱的弟兄姊妹们：
圣诞快乐，新年蒙福！
感谢你们一起走在这段美好的信仰旅程中, 无论你是参加了“初信成长”、“建造基石”或“圣经学校”的课程，还是简单地与我们一同前行，我们都庆祝神在你生命中的奇妙作为。
今年，我们亲眼见证了神所行的奇事！有人在困难中找到了平安，有人对圣灵有了更深的认识，还有人开始说方言。我们听到许多弟兄姊妹用课堂上学到的真理，改变了自己的家庭和工作环境。神真的一直在动工！
有一位姊妹分享了她的故事：
“这两年在圣经学校的学习让我更深地认识了神。我知道神是良善的，无论如何都爱着我们，是带领我们进入平安的神。这个认识让我从焦虑不安中安静下来，也让我相信神已经把一切美好都赐给了我们。
慢慢地，我学到的真理也进入了我的生活。我对孩子的态度从过去的愤怒责骂，变得更加温柔，即使偶尔生气，也尽量保持耐心。孩子当然还是会调皮，但我不再焦虑，因为我知道他们是神赐给我的产业，我只需要尽心尽力做好管家。
以前我也常常抱怨丈夫的缺点和习惯，但现在，我学会了用赞美和尊重取代抱怨。结果，他也开始改变了！我们的关系越来越好。他甚至不再阻止我去教会，而是主动送我去聚会。我真的很感恩！
我也记得自己过去常常不经意地说一些消极的话。当我的孩子生病时，我经常带着忧虑和消极的想法谈论他们的疾病，专注于症状和恐惧，而不是相信上帝。但后来我学到“生死都在舌头的权柄里”。所以，我改变了说话的方式，也用同样的方式教导我的孩子。感谢上帝，我非常感谢圣经学校给我的一切。展望未来，我想过一种“在地上如同在天上”的生活，宣扬上帝的话语并践行其中。”
神真的很奇妙，不是吗？无论我们起点在哪里，祂总是在更新和改变我们。明年，我们还会继续通过邮件与你们分享更多感人的见证。
保罗在哥林多前书10:31提醒我们：“无论做什么，都要为荣耀神而行。” 你们对主的忠心和爱，不仅祝福了我，也鼓舞了许多人。
在新的一年里，我鼓励你们继续向前迈进，相信神会带来更多的成长和突破。希伯来书4:11说：“所以我们务必竭力进入那安息。” 让我们预备自己的心，让神的平安和能力塑造我们。
圣诞节是纪念救主耶稣基督降生的日子——祂是和平之君，也是我们永恒的盼望。我祷告神的爱与平安充满你的家，祂的喜乐每天加添你的力量。
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey of faith. Whether you joined our courses—‘Establishment,’ ‘Cornerstone,’ or the ‘Bible School’—or simply walked this path of faith alongside us, I celebrate all the ways God has been moving in your lives.
This year, we’ve seen God do amazing things! Some of you have found peace in the midst of trials, others have had breakthroughs in understanding the Holy Spirit, and a few even began speaking in tongues. We've heard stories of students using what they've learned in class to make a difference in their families and workplaces. Truly, God has been at work!
One sister shared her heart with us:
"These two years at the Bible School have helped me know God in such a personal way. I’ve discovered that God is good, that He loves us no matter what. He’s the one who walks us into peace. Knowing this has quieted my restless heart. I’ve realized He’s already given us everything we need.
Little by little, what I’ve learned has shaped my life. With my kids, I’ve gone from yelling in frustration to responding with more gentleness (even when I’m upset). Kids will always be kids, but I don’t feel anxious anymore—I see them as gifts from God, and I know I’m just here to take good care of them.
I used to complain a lot about my husband—his habits and flaws—but now, instead of complaining, I’ve learned to speak words of praise and respect. And guess what? He’s started changing too! Our relationship is so much better now. He’s even started supporting my faith, taking me to church instead of resisting it. I’m so grateful!
I also remember how I used to carelessly speak negative words. When my kids were sick, I often discussed their sickness with worries and negative thoughts, focusing on the symptoms and fears instead of trusting God. But then I learned that ‘life and death are in the power of the tongue.’ So, I changed the way I spoke, and also taught my kids the same way. Thank God, I’m so grateful for everything Bible School has given me. Moving forward, I want to live a life ‘on earth as it is in heaven,’ declaring God’s Word and walking in it."
Isn’t God so good? No matter where we start, God is always at work to transform and renew us. We will share more exciting testimonies with you through emails next year.
Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Your faithfulness and love for the Lord have been such a blessing—not just to me, but to so many others.
As we step into this new year, I want to encourage you to keep pressing in and trusting God for even more growth and breakthroughs. Hebrews 4:11 says, “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest.” Let’s make space for His peace and power to shape us in the days ahead.
Christmas is a time to remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ—the Prince of Peace and our eternal hope. My prayer is that His love and peace fill your home and that His joy strengthens you each and every day.
