回應新冠狀疫情網上信息

親愛的弟兄姐妹：

主內平安！

在疫情氾濫的日子裡， 願救主耶穌基督所賜給我們的屬天的平安在我們每一個人的心中成為我們的安慰和依靠。

由於新型冠狀病毒在美國，尤其是紐約地區的快速傳播和這種病毒所具高度的不確定性， 紐約靈命進深會的董事和同工們經過在主面前迫切禱告和尋求，決定暫停今年的大會。 主若許可，我們將在2021年七月二日至五日（週五至下週一）再相聚， 在主面前一同追求。

大會做出這一決定，一方面是遵守政府在疫情期間避免人員聚集的建議和指示， 更重要的是顧慮到弟兄姐妹身體上的健康和平安。 主在地上時曾教導祂的門徒說，“神是個靈，所以拜他的，必須用心靈和誠實拜他。”（約四：24） 我們鼓勵也深信各位弟兄姐妹一定會在各自的崗位和家中， 持續地用心靈和誠實敬拜天父和我們主救主耶穌基督。 大會同工會聯絡大會講員們，會錄製一些信息登在大會網站， 以期幫助大家靠信仰來面對疫情的挑戰。 請大家常常上大會的網站查看。

願主所賜的出人意外的平安在我們的裡面做王掌權， 好讓我們在這樣一個疫情洶洶世人惶惶的日子裡活出那屬天平安的生活見證， 讓主的名得著榮耀。

願主與眾人同在。

紐約靈命進深會董事暨同工 敬啟



Dear brothers and sisters:

Peace in the Lord!

In this challenging season, we are praying that the heavenly peace of our Savior Jesus Christ would be our comfort and strength.

Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the United States, especially in the New York area, and the high degree of uncertainty of the virus, the directors and co-workers of the New York Summer Conference have decided to cancel this year’s conference. If the Lord permits, we will meet again from July 2nd to 5th (Friday to Monday) in 2021 to gather and fellowship together.

The conference directors and co-workers have made this decision to comply with the government's recommendations and instructions to avoid large gatherings of people. More importantly, we want to respect and protect the physical health and safety of our brothers and sisters.

When Jesus was on the earth, he taught his disciples, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth" (John 4:24). We especially encourage all brothers and sisters, though at home, to continue to worship the Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Our theme verse for this year is Romans 15:13 - “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Just as Apostle Paul prayed this for his brothers and sisters, it is our prayer that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will reign in us, so that we can live out the witness of a hope-filled life in such a panic-stricken world and that the name of the Lord will be glorified. We believe that our hope comes from an unchanging Father who holds all circumstance within His hands.

Though we will not be meeting in person this year, the English Ministry will plan to host an online event July 4 weekend! Further details will be announced, so please continue to check the NYSC website and Facebook page for updates.

May the Lord be with you.

New York Summer Conference Directors and Co-workers
