Amazing Christmas Tree Lighting｜Testimony

On Christmas tree lighting event prepared by Tainan Holiness Church, I found three interesting things: firstly, was to be opened to everyone (brothers and sisters who are Christians and non-Christians), secondly to share your love with them; all TNHC members whom were dealing with different activities were happy and humble to all (youth, elders, and parents), thirdly was care they were being patient to everyone, serving with their kindness.

They made me to think on my home country’s people if they’ll be like that, willing to help to everyone without looking the grades or authority and having the same vision of letting people know our mighty God and share the gospel to them, our happiness and peace we found in Christ as is one of our missions we have on this earth.

Lastly was respect which was thing I learnt from these government authority’s member were there. I loved the way they valued the event, respected all activities, and stayed there until the end. I thank God all things went well even I got tired, but God gave me strength.

在這次台南聖教會準備的聖誕節點燈晚會中，我發現的三件有趣的事：

第一，這是一場開放給所有人（弟兄姊妹、基督徒、非基督徒）的活動；第二，在活動中大家都分享愛給民眾，所有教會中的弟兄姊妹都參與著各樣活動，並且用喜樂與謙卑的態度對待所接觸到的人（年輕人、長輩、父母）；第三，每個人都是用耐心與良善來服務民眾。

這些人讓我想起我家鄉（蒲隆地）的人們，如果我家鄉的人也像這裡的人一樣，願意不用成績、不用權威來看待人，而是用相同的異象來讓人知道我們榮耀的神，並且與他們分享福音，我們就能在基督裡得著喜樂與平安，這也是我們在世上的使命。

最後，我在這場點燈晚會中看到了尊重。這是我從（台灣）政府所學到的，我很欣賞他們看中這場儀式的方式，尊重所有的活動並且留到節目得最後。我很感謝神，我感謝祂在我即使很疲累的時候，神給了我力量繼續，讓我也服事到最後。
