* More than 40,000 brothers, sisters and gospel friends have attended this year’s HK Bible Conference/港九培靈研經會. The speaker, Elder Jian LEE/李健 spoke on the joy of Christ-centered living (Philippians). He mentioned that there was a sister in Taiwan whose husband and father had passed away, and consequently went bankrupt and lost her house. She worked very hard, continuing to serve her loved ones, joyfully attending weekly gatherings, saying that “God is still in her life, that He is alive.” Many years later, Elder Lee hosted her daughter’s wedding, asking the bride, “Do you still remember the hardship of those years?” She replied, “Of course, but I will inherit my mother’s faith!”
