主內敬愛的長輩和弟兄姊妹們平安！
上帝是一個看顧保守、永不離開我們的 上帝，祂是一個偉大奇妙的 上帝！我從小在忠孝路長老教會長大，就經歷了上帝滿滿的祝福和恩典。從良音姊、昭宜姊、憲懋哥、仁杰哥、世賢姊對我一路的帶領以及教會中的爸爸媽媽、長老 執事們，我真的感受到那因著認識基督耶穌才有的香氣 (林後二:14)。
在過去大學四年的生活裡，我也更深的經歷了 上帝那無條件的愛。在孤獨、困苦、沒人陪伴的當中，祂告訴我：“我必不撇下你、也不丟棄你。” 在我認識到我是多麼大的一個罪人的時候，祂告訴我：“我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯的完全。” 在我恐懼害怕的時候，祂告訴我：“你不要害怕，因為我與你同在;不要驚惶，因為我是你的 神。我必堅固你，我必幫助你，我必用我公義的右手扶持你。” 上帝是一個聆聽我們禱告的永活真神！
經過迫切的禱告、尋求，我決定在接下來的兩年當中，接受我在美國南加州大學的學生團契差派到中國大陸宣教。我原本打算是要到中亞，原屬蘇聯的一個回教國家 --吉爾吉斯，做跨文化的宣教工作，但是因為在中國的團契現在急缺人手，所以我的團契便決定先將我派去那裡作大學事工。其實我從國、高中時期就很奇妙的與 宣教工場有所接觸。我在馬禮遜美國學校的老師們都是因著宣教的緣故，以愛 神、愛人作為根基的來到台灣教書。我在高中的時候， 神更是開了路讓我有去中國和尼泊爾短宣的機會。2008年暑假更是受了 神感動與我大學的團契到吉爾吉斯和哈薩克作兩個月的短宣。在這當中我也體會到—我們的神真偉大！
因為我經歷到、體驗到祂的美好，在接下來的這幾年當中更想要學習如何盡心、盡性、盡力、盡意的去愛 神、愛人，並完全的委身將自己的生命奉獻給 神，將自己的生命完完全全的投入於人們當中。我在決定接下來要如何的去投入、要透過什麼組織投入、要透過怎樣的管道去投入時，我有很深的感動，認為這已經 是次要的。最重要的是我要選擇去順服 神。我選擇的是不管透過誰、在誰的權柄之下，我都是要愛 神、愛人。
每當我安靜心，來到 上帝面前尋求禱告的時候，祂總是感動、催逼著我走這一條道路。我要加入這個組織、這個團體時也曾有很多顧慮，會有很多疑問，會問自己說為什麼要這樣做，爸 媽也曾問我為什麼不參加一個比較多資源、機構歷史比較悠久的。但是我相信 上帝不會因著組織的欠缺而限制祂展現奇妙的大能。我也知道很多事情不是我可以控制的，我去哪裡宣教、哪裡服事，什麼事情都有可能發生。我不管透過什麼組 織，那個組織永遠都會有欠缺的地方，但是我只要相信 上帝在這一切中掌權，祂若感動讓我透過這個組織服事，那祂就一定有祂可以看顧我、造就我、使用我的奇妙方式。 “我要引瞎子行不認識的道，領他們走不知道的路；在他們面前使黑暗變為光明，使彎曲變為平直。這些事我都要行，並不離棄他們。”
以賽亞書42:16
我接下來所選的道路，真的是要靠著信心去走的，所以我同時要誠懇的邀請大家用禱告的力量來支持我，求 上帝繼續的看顧我、保守我、扶持我，並且繼續的將一切的榮耀歸給祂，也求 上帝滿滿的祝福大家，也祝福我在那邊的服事，讓我們都更深的去體會、親近我們這位奇妙的真神！

“So, what’s the plan?” A question that everyone asked, and a question that I never could answer. Praise God that he is a God who is alive and answers our prayers, so that now I can confidently say, “My plan is to serve God in the mission field for the next two years with my campus fellowship ‘In Christ Alone.’”
During the past four years of college, I’ve been able to experience God and His amazing love. During times of loneliness, heartache, and suffering, he said to me, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (Heb. 13:5).” When I realized what a great sinner I was, he told me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).” At times when fear filled my heart, He spoke again and said, “Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).” Our God is indeed a God who is alive and listens to our prayers!
There have been many voices and many options in the process of deciding what my next step should be, but I’ve learned that, in the end, the only thing that matters is one voice and one decision—to trust in God and to obey his calling. I’ve been trusting in the wisdom of the world, instead of the mighty God who repeatedly tells us to trust in Him and Him alone, and He will make our paths straight (Prov. 3:4-6). I need to believe that if He brings me to the mission field, then He will provide. He is a mighty God who is not limited by any of our faults. Instead, He shines through and lets us know that He is God.
I’ve experienced a God who loves me with a love beyond my understanding. I’ve personally experienced this love. It is a love that comforts, a love that brings peace, a love that gives hope, and it is this love that drives me to obey, to give up my life, and to give him my all.
Therefore, for the next two years, I will be going to Lanzhou, China. Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu Province, with a population of almost three million. The city is located in the geographic center of China. In the past year, God has blessed the ICA ministry there with over 20 new believers. This summer, a short-term mission team will also be working there. Therefore, there is also a need for follow up after they leave. My work there will be focused on college ministry and will involve the making of disciples through evangelizing on campus, holding Bible studies, and one-to-one meet ups. At the same time, I will be mentored throughout the process and learn how to grow in a Christ-like character.
I have never been to this city and there are so many things that I do not know, but I want to hold on to this promise from God:
“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”
Is. 42:16.
This is a faith journey, and I need all the prayer support I can get. At the same time, I also need to raise USD $28,000 for the next two years of ministry. This money will cover my housing and living expenses, and also my travel expenses for the next couple of years. Please partner with me in whatever way you are able to. If you want to support me through prayer, please email tim.k.wang@gmail.com and simply say, “I want to support you through prayer!” If you would like to support me financially, please write checks out to “V-SET” and “Tim Wang SMP# 081019” in the memo line and send it to:
