I am originally from the U.K. but right now I live in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a thriving international melting pot where many cultures mix and mingle. There are a lot of churches here of many denominations, and God is certainly here using his church to seek new believers. The largest religions in Hong Kong are Buddhism and traditional ancestor worship, but Chinese people seem to be among the most open to hear about the gospel and learn about Jesus, which is very encouraging. The biggest obstacle that brings challenges to sharing the gospel is a language barrier, especially for older generations. The culture barrier also might make it hard to connect with nonbelievers.

我原本出生在英国，但现在我住在香港。香港是一个蓬勃发展的国际大熔炉，许多文化在这里冲撞融合。这里有许多不同宗派的教堂，上帝在这里实在透过自己的教会来寻求那些寻求主的人。虽然香港最大的宗教是佛教和传统的祖先崇拜，但中国人似乎是对听到福音和了解耶稣态度最开放的民族之一，这一点非常令人鼓舞。向人分享福音带来的最大障碍是语言障碍，特别是对老一辈人而言，更是如此。文化障碍也会使与我们非信徒很难建立起联系。

Coming to the faith I have in Jesus Christ now has been a life long journey, as I was born into a Christian home. At 10 years old I was baptized by my father, and after this, I would say my journey to discover Jesus really began. I am still on that journey today with Christ molding and making me every day! I hope and pray that I can continue on this journey and that CLI will help me along the way.

虽然我出生在一个基督徒家庭中，但我对耶稣基督的信心却经历了一个漫长的旅程。 10岁时，我就接受了父亲为我所施行的洗礼；在此之后，我认为，我寻求主耶稣的旅程才真正开始。我今天仍然在基督里成长，有基督每天在我身边塑造我！我盼望并祷告，我可以继续这一寻求之旅，而且基督徒领导力研究院能帮助我一路走过。

As of this moment in time, I do not have a world-changing ministry dream, but I want God to be able to use me in whatever way He sees fit, and I know that strengthening my own faith and becoming more like Jesus will help me to achieve whatever God has planned for me. So far, this class has helped to strengthen my walk with God, as it has deeply encouraged me to pursue my walk with God with more certainty, fervor, and more devotion.

虽然在此刻，我还没有一个改变世界的事工梦想；但是，我希望上帝能以任何他认为合适的方式来使用我。我知道，让自己的信仰更坚定，并更加效法耶稣的样式，会帮助我实现上帝为我计划的任何事。到目前为止，研究院的课程对坚固我与上帝同行的生活很有帮助，因为它深切鼓励我怀着更坚定、更热情和更奉献的心志来与上帝同行。

I think that so far, I most identify with Small Group Leader. I am not a very loud person and I like to make deep connections with people. I like to really get to know people, to know where they are, where they want to be, and who they are. I want to be able to help and guide people with the little knowledge that I have. However, I do not do particularly well in large group settings. I like the intimacy of a small group where people can really feel comfortable to open up and delve deep. I know that in this world, people long for and crave true community and connection and that God intended us to be in community with one another, and I think that small groups can really help to cultivate this.

我认为，到目前为止，我自己最认同的是作一位小组带领人。我不是一个喜欢大声说话的人，我喜欢和人有深入的关系。我喜欢真正了解别人，知道他们在哪里，他们想作什么，还有他们是什么样子。我希望能用我所拥有的知识来帮助并指导人。但是，在一大群人中，我就不会做得特别好。我喜欢一个小组中的亲密关系，人们实在可以感受到开放、深入的关系。我知道，在这个世界上，人们渴望并激励追求真正的团契和友谊，上帝的旨意是让我们彼此和睦；我认为，小组对培养这种关系会大有帮助。

I think that the Bible always brings transformation when it is read. Even in seemingly small instances. I first really connected to the Bible when I was a 17 years old. I had been praying that I would want to read the Bible and that I would feel some desire to connect with it and God answered my prayer, surprisingly through reading Samuel and Kings. I suddenly found myself completely lost in the story of Israel and Judah and I didn’t want to stop reading. The story of the different Kings and how they led just enraptured me and I couldn’t really understand why, but God answered my prayer and allowed my mind to transform through reading and feeling the desire to read.
我认为，当人们阅读圣经时总是会给人带来生命的更新。即使在看似微不足道的情况下，也是如此。在我17岁时，我才第一次真正接触到圣经。我一直祷告，我想阅读圣经，我渴慕与圣经建立一种联系，通过阅读《撒母耳记上下》和《列王记上下》，上帝用奇妙的方式回应了我的祷告。我突然之间发现，自己完全沉浸在以色列和犹大的故事中，我甚至不想停下来。不同国王的故事还有他们如何领导深深吸引了我，我真的不明白为什么；但是，上帝回应了我的祷告，让我的头脑借着读经发生了转变，感受到阅读圣经的渴慕。

My church has always supported me, and they continue to support any member who wants to attend CLI. They are fantastic. My husband is also very supportive of me. He is a wonderful husband and he is also attempting CLI as well. We are very grateful that this free bible training online exists and can allow us to further our walks with God and help us to further other people’s walks too.

我的教会一直都在支持我，他们也继续支持任何一位想参加基督徒领导力研究院学习的人。他们课程太棒了。我的丈夫也非常支持我。他是一位很好的丈夫，他也在尝试进入研究院学习。我们非常感恩竟然有这种免费网络圣经培训存在，让我们能深入与上帝同行，也帮助我们促进其他人来与上帝同行。

My ministry dream is not, as yet, defined although I do have a strong leading towards small groups, but I know that CLI’s free bible training online scholarship will help me and be important in helping me to become the leader that God can use. I want to be able to help as many people as I can in their walk with God and therefore I want to be as prepared as possible. I want to be able to help people in the right way, with the right knowledge. You can pray that I will never take this opportunity for granted and that I will be able to finish CLI strong, not give up, and that I will be able to give back one day as I have been given.

尽管我确实有一种很强烈的愿望来带领小组，但我的事工理想还没有定型。然而，我知到研究院的免费圣经培训的奖学金能帮助我完成学习，也会在帮助我成为上帝可以使用的带领人发挥重要作用。我希望自己能尽可能帮助更多的人和我们一起与上帝同行，所以我想尽可能装备。我盼望能通过正确的知识并以正确的方式来帮助人们。你们可以祷告，我绝不会把这个机会当作理所当然的，我会以优异的成就完成研究院的课程，而不是半途而废；终有一天，我会用上帝所赐的的来回馈上帝子民。
