SJCCC-ET meeting summary / Kerching

I have been thinking about what we've discussed. The following is a summary of some key points that many have brought up.

我們談了許多，以下是我歸納的重點

大型活動之後，福傳組接下來的工作重點是

１．迎新餐會（預定十一月）
２．與其他團隊之間的合作
３．鼓勵各區組的參與

The focus of our work after all the major events will be

1. The welcome party (in November)
2. Working together with other 20/20 teams
3. Promotion of evangelization in cell groups

我們需要透過『祈禱』和『我們所看到的一些記號』去繼續做分辨

We will continue to discern through prayer and signs around us.

Thanks be to God.

Kerching

P.S. Let's equip ourselves and get ready to fight the good fight of faith together!
