Sophia

Hello everyone, my name is Sophia. I have just graduated from Grade 12, and this September I will be attending McMaster University. I hope to pursue a career in the medical field in the future.

I am grateful for God's grace and guidance. On December 28 of last year, I was baptized here and had the privilege of becoming a sister in Christ—a daughter of God's Kingdom. Through the church, I have received God's provision and discipline, experienced Him, grown to know Him, and learned to depend on Him more deeply.

I have been part of Saskatoon Chinese Alliance Church for almost five years. During that time, I have grown from a young and inexperienced child into a young adult.

I would especially like to thank the pastors and ministers of our church, including Pastor Kaan, Pastor Zhu, Pastor Huang, and Pastor Zhang, for their continued pastoral care and teaching. They have always been role models for me in my faith.

To every brother and sister here, you have all been spiritual mentors to me. Thank you for your care, support, and guidance over the years, especially for the encouragement and advice you gave me while I was waiting to begin university.

I would also like to give special thanks to Uncle Thian-Peng for his spiritual companionship and guidance. He even prepared a series of discipleship training courses specifically for David and me and patiently answered our many questions. Beyond this, he has invested so much time and energy in supporting us in our daily lives and guiding us in church ministry. I am deeply grateful.

I am also thankful for Angie and Gordon from the youth fellowship, as well as all the brothers and sisters in the youth group, for accompanying and encouraging me along the way. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to serve in the church and experience the joy of working together with God.

There are so many unforgettable people and experiences, and God's blessings are far too numerous to count. There is also one more thing I will never forget: the church potlucks. The food prepared by all the uncles and aunties was truly amazing!

Whether it was a church meal or time spent in the homes of families who warmly welcomed us, these experiences left a deep impression on me and allowed me to feel the warmth of a large family. Through your thoughtful and constant care, God showed me just how deeply He loves me.

As I prepare to move to a new city to live and study, I will carry with me the blessings and encouragement I have received from this church. I will also share the love and warmth I have experienced here with others without holding anything back.

At university, I will actively look for a local church and youth fellowship so that I can continue seeking God and growing in my Christian faith. I am willing to entrust the road ahead completely to the Lord. I pray that He will continue to guide me and help me follow Him faithfully throughout my life.

Finally, I would also like to congratulate the grandparents who are being baptized today. As you entrust everything to the Lord, may He give you peace, joy, and strength from above. May you experience even more of His grace and faithfulness in the days ahead.

David

Hello everyone, my name is David. I am very happy and honored to have another opportunity to share with you today. Like Sophia, I will be moving to Hamilton this September to study Engineering at McMaster University.

I would especially like to thank all the pastors, ministers, brothers, and sisters in our church. I still remember when I first came to this church in October 2021. At that time, I did not know very much about the Christian faith. It was through your patient teaching, companionship, and care that I gradually came to understand the gospel and build my own faith step by step.

I will always remember the moment when I made my decision to follow Christ in front of Uncle Thian-Peng. I am deeply grateful to Uncle Thian-Peng, Auntie Sinnie, and their family for preparing the discipleship training course for us, supporting us in our daily lives, and guiding us in church ministry. May the Lord remember everything you have done. Through your example, I learned that faith is not only about listening to sermons or gaining knowledge, but also about learning to depend on God and follow Him in our everyday lives.

I am also very thankful to Pastor Zhang for his careful teaching and guidance. Through the baptism classes and membership classes, I began to think more seriously about my relationship with God, and I made the important decision to entrust my life to Him. By God's grace, I was baptized at the end of last year and publicly declared my faith before God and the church.

I would also like to thank Pastor Zhu for baptizing us. To me, baptism was not simply a ceremony. It represented my decision to follow the Lord throughout my life and to place both my present and my future into His hands.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Angie and Gordon for their leadership and companionship in the youth fellowship, Uncle Edward, and everyone who has cared for, taught, and supported us throughout these years. I am also thankful for all the brothers and sisters I have served alongside, as well as every friend in the youth fellowship.

There are also many brothers and sisters who have quietly served the church in different roles. Whether you maintain the church building, prepare the rooms, or take care of the many responsibilities that others may not see, your service allows us to worship God and grow in our faith in a warm and peaceful environment. Although I cannot mention everyone by name, I will always remember the kindness and support you have shown me. May the Lord remember the service and dedication of every brother and sister.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight."

As I prepare to begin university, I know that there will be many unknowns, new environments, and new challenges ahead of me. However, I want to continue learning to depend on God instead of relying only on my own abilities and understanding. I believe that no matter what lies ahead, God will continue to guide me and give me the strength and wisdom I need at every stage of my life.

Finally, I would also like to congratulate the two seniors who are being baptized today. May God continue to guide you, help you know Him more deeply, and allow you to experience more of His grace in the days ahead. May all of us continue to trust in the Lord faithfully and follow Him throughout our lives.

Thank you to every pastor, minister, and brother and sister at Saskatoon Chinese Alliance Church. No matter where I go in the future, I will always remember the teaching, companionship, and love I have received here over the past five years. I will carry your blessings with me as I continue working toward my dreams, and I pray that the Lord will continue to guide the path ahead of me.

Thank you, everyone.

Sophia

大家好，我是 Sophia，现在高中12年级毕业，9月起我将前往McMaster大学，希望未来从事医学方面工作。

感谢神的恩典和带领，去年12月28日我就是在这里受洗，有幸成为一名主内姊妹--天国的女儿，在教会接受神的供应和管教，经历神、认识神、更加依靠神。

我已在沙城宣道会接近五年的时间，从懵懵懂懂的小孩步入青年队列。

我要特别感谢教会的牧者和师母们，这里有简牧师、朱牧师、黄传道、张传道，他们一直以来的牧养与教导。他们也一直是我在信仰上的榜样。

这里每一位弟兄姊妹，你们都是我的属灵导师，感谢一直以来对我的关怀、照顾和栽培。特别在我等待大学的日子里给予我鼓励和建议。

在此特别感谢添平叔叔的属灵陪伴和引领，还特为我和David专门开设系列门徒装备课程，时常为我们答疑解惑。除了这些，他无论是生活上还是教会事奉上都投入了大量精力，非常非常感恩。

还有Youth的Angie和Gorden，以及青少年弟兄姊妹们一路陪伴与鼓励。感恩我能有幸参加教会的服事，来感知与神同工的喜悦。

难忘人和事有很多很多，神的恩典更是数算不完。对，还有一件最为难忘的，就是教会的百家饭，叔叔阿姨们的手艺真是太棒了！！无论是教会的聚餐，还是每个热心接待过我们的家庭，都给我留下了深刻的印象，让我在这里感受到大家庭的温暖。神通过你们无微不至的关怀告诉我，神他有多爱我！

即将前往新的城市生活和学习，我也必会带着教会所给予我的祝福和鼓励，以及在这里所领受的爱和温暖，毫无保留的分享给更多的人。我也会在大学积极寻找当地的教会和青年团契，继续追求神，在基督信仰之路上不断成长。我愿意把前面的道路完全交托给主，求祂继续带领我，一生忠心跟随祂。

最后，也在这里我祝贺今天受洗的爷爷奶奶，把一切交托给主，愿主赐给你们平安、喜乐和属天的力量，在未来的日子里更加经历祂的恩典与信实。

David

大家好，我叫 David。很高兴，也很荣幸今天再次有机会和大家分享。和 Sophia 一样，我也即将在今年九月前往哈密尔顿，就读麦克马斯特大学工程专业。

我特别感谢各位牧师、传道，以及教会里的每一位弟兄姊妹。还记得2021年10月刚来到教会的时候，我对信仰的了解并不多。是大家一次又一次耐心的教导、陪伴和关心，让我慢慢认识福音，也一步一步建立起自己的信仰。

我永远都记得自己在添平叔叔面前决志的那个场景。感谢添平叔叔和 Sinnie 阿姨一家，为我们预备门徒装备课程，也在生活中陪伴我们，在教会的服事中带领我们。求主纪念你们一直以来的付出，让我明白信仰不只是听道和学习知识，更是在每天的生活中学习依靠神、跟随神。

我也非常感谢张传道精心的培训和教导。在受洗课程和会友班中，我开始更加认真地思考自己和神之间的关系，也郑重地决定将自己的一生交托给主。感谢主的恩典，我在去年年底接受了洗礼，在神和众人面前公开见证自己的信仰。

也特别感谢朱牧师为我们施洗。对我来说，受洗不只是一个仪式，更代表着我愿意一生跟随主，并把自己的现在和未来都交托在祂的手中。

同时，我也想借这个机会，感谢 Angie 和 Gordon 在青年团契中的带领和陪伴，感谢 Edward 叔叔，以及所有这些年来一直关心、教导和帮助我们的人。也感谢曾经和我一起同工的弟兄姊妹，以及青年团契里的每一位朋友。

除此之外，教会里还有许多弟兄姊妹，一直在不同的岗位上默默服事。无论是维护教会、预备场地，还是处理许多大家看不见的事务，你们的付出都让我们能够在一个温暖、平安的环境中敬拜神、认识神。虽然我没有办法一一说出大家的名字，但我一直记得你们给予我的帮助和关爱，也求主纪念每一位弟兄姊妹的摆上。

《箴言》三章五至六节说：

“你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明；在你一切所行的事上，都要认定他，他必指引你的路。”

马上就要进入大学，我知道未来会有很多未知，也会面对新的环境和新的挑战。但我愿意继续学习依靠神，不只依靠自己的能力和聪明。我相信，无论前面的道路如何，神都会继续带领我，也会在每一个阶段赐给我所需要的力量和智慧。

最后，我也想祝贺今天接受洗礼的两位爷爷奶奶。愿神继续带领你们，使你们在未来的日子里更多地认识祂、经历祂的恩典，也愿我们每一个人都能够坚定地信靠主，一生跟随主。

谢谢沙城宣道会的每一位牧者和弟兄姊妹。无论以后我走到哪里，我都会记得这五年来在这里所领受的教导、陪伴和爱。我也会带着大家的祝福，继续努力向前，并求主继续引导我未来的道路。

谢谢大家。
