The Journey Continues Genesis 28: 10 Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 創世記 28: 10 雅各出了別是巴，向哈蘭走去； 11 到了一個地方，因為太陽落了，就在那裡住宿，便拾起那地方的一塊石頭枕在頭下，在那裡躺臥睡了，

17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. ” 18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 17 就懼怕，說：這地方何等可畏！這不是別的，乃是神的殿，也是天的門。 18 雅各清早起來，把所枕的石頭立作柱子, 澆油在上面。

20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, 21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, 22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you. ” 20 雅各許願說：神若與我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又給我食物吃，衣服穿， 21 使我平安地回到我父親的家，我就必以耶和華為我的神。22 我所立為柱子的石頭也必作神的殿，凡你所賜給我的，我必將十分之一獻給你。

Genesis 35: 2 2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God who answers me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone. ” 創世記 35: 2 雅各就對他家中的人並一切與他同在的人說：你們要除掉你們中間的外邦神，也要自潔, 更換衣裳。 3 我們要起來，上伯特利去，在那裡我要築一座壇給神，就是在我遭難的日子應允我的禱告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位。

13 And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 13 耶和華站在梯子以上 ( 或作站在他旁邊 ) ，說：我是耶和華 ─ 你祖亞伯拉罕的神，也是以撒的神；我要將你現在所躺臥之地賜給你和你的後裔。

趙壯奇博士夫婦在安那罕市美南第一浸信會分享他們的異象後，於一九七四年四月他們開始建立橙縣華人浸信會。在他們往那裏分享之前一個月，神差派曾在三藩市和羅省植堂的勞多馬牧師到那教會講道，他也提到要開始向華人傳道作。

一九七四年四月二十八日就是我們這傳道會第一個主日，主日學有四十人、崇拜有六十人。一九七七年這傳道會巳可以自給自足了。

一九八四年九月神給我們買了現今的地方，這本屬於安那罕市校區所擁有的產業。趙牧師看過和認許這地點, 就來到神面前禱告這地方是否可用作建立橙縣華人浸信會。幾個星期後，我們到那裡投標, 以六十四萬而投得這地，原來我們是唯一的應投者﹔過了幾個星期後, 有承建商來以一百萬的費用為我們建成這物業。

我們願以感恩的心 “述說你奇妙的作為 ” (詩 75: 1) The Mandarin Congregation with a grateful heart would like “to recount the Lord’s wondrous deeds” (Ps 75: 1)

感谢主! Praise the Lord! A. 耶和華以勒 Jehovah Jireh - 耶和華必預備 The LORD Will Provide (创Ge 22: 14) 祂是供应我们的主宰，为我们预备国语堂牧者. He is the Lord who supplies all our need.

祂是供应我们的主宰，为我们预备国语堂牧者。 He is the Lord who supplies all our need. The Lord provides a pastor for the Mandarin Congregation! 这一年来国语堂继续蒙神保守，引导。在去年三月十日周末，我们有第三位應聘牧师的问答座谈，弟兄姊妹都踊跃参与，專心仰望父旨, 盡力認識鄧牧师。天父很快怜悯我们，缩短我们寻找的辛苦，在短短三个月内，鄧牧师决定按神的心意来牧养我们, 真是超过我们所想所求. 鄧牧师在七月一日正式就任之前已在六月夏令会中与我们分享神的信息。感谢赞美神及全体弟兄姊妹的祷告，以及伍牧师，林牧师，顾问牧师等的辅导, 结束了我们一千个无牧者的日子。

祂日日牧养我们, 更將得救的人及同加给我们 The Lord shepherds us everyday and adds new believers and co-workers to us ! 过去二年多，我们虽然没有国语堂牧者，但我们日日有主同在，照样敬拜神，小组学习，团契互勉，彼此关怀，传主福音，蒙主怜悯聚会人数月月稳定，增加。祂也把得救的人加给我们，去年共有13 位受浸。祂不但给我们得救的人，也丰丰富富賜我们 10位转会的弟兄姊妹，不僅與我们一同崇拜，更帮助我们教主日學，担任詩班指揮。

藉小组让我们长大成人，讨主喜悦。 Through the small groups, the Lord let us grow in maturity that pleases Him. 如往常祂牽引我们經過病痛, 難處，更建造我们的灵命。这年来有新的细胞小组成立，如西区查经祷告组，長青组，弟兄组。不但有新小组成立，各小组也更新成长，如主日敬拜的安排更合乎主心意; 东区由二个月一次转为二星期一次聚会; 由原来的聚餐专题改为研读主的话语 ; 南区，中区努力 “日日与主同行” 灵修; 姊妹组, 長青组更深根於主的话语; 青年组裝備自己, 搶救靈魂.

祂是我们的旗帜，领我们得胜，使我们同心合一。 He is our banner that leads us to victory and let us be united with one heart. 这一年我们更学习彼此相爱，同心见证兴旺主的福音。如青年组的司会讓我们的聚会更有活力; 弟兄组照顾長青团的 “ 远足”，帮忙推轮椅; 各小组轮流做菜支持青年组的新生团福音作; 对内对外的特会, 佈道培灵…. , 更表现出弟兄姊妹合作无间，相爱无疑。

我们仍有許多虧欠，軟弱，困難。在這短短的五分鐘內是報告不清的。請大家在祷告中迫切紀念。這不是說我已經得著了，已經完全了；我乃是竭力追求，或者可以得著基督耶穌所要我得的。……我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的. (腓 3: 12 -13) Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. …. . but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. (Php 3: 12 -13)
