Finally an office for PLUC! We are indeed thankful for volunteers who came to help us with cleaning, painting, and also moving. So much to clean and throw away! We are full of joy knowing that much more can be done with the new, organized office. The new office, though smaller in space, is easily accessible by public transport. It is a new phase of PLUC growth.
In this issue of Butterfly, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce a team that has made PLUC possible for the past 6 years. Some are new faces and a few have been faithful with us from the beginning till today. As the ministry grows, the contribution from each team member plays an important role. In fact this is the team that helps me to align with His vision and mission at all times.
PLUC truly believes in the restoration of homosexuals under the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore PLUC’s mission is to reach out and disciple homosexuals into godly men and women who experience true liberty in Christ. In 2002 when a group of men simply began meeting as a support group, no one could imagine that it would grow into this ministry called Pursuing Liberty Under Christ.
By His grace we are trying very hard to get this message out about “finding freedom in Jesus Christ.” Many churches are opening their doors and their pulpits to PLUC. We are sharing our stories and sharing God’s Word on the issues enslaving so many people. Besides that, we also teach on topics like Emotional Dependency, Roots of Pornography, Understanding Homosexuality, etc.
In the past few months alone we have spoken in many churches, public schools, and even a Bible seminary. The phone calls and personal responses have been wonderful. The Lord is using this ministry to help individuals in bondage and families who are broken over the issues that we deal with. Whether it involves homosexuality, pornography, or other addictive behaviors, we have a heart that wants to help and a Lord that will.
Our desire is to expand what we are doing and to help many others to find freedom in Jesus Christ. We want to partner with churches and individuals in an effort to be a resource to them whenever there is someone who needs the help we offer. Whether it is the person in bondage or the wife or mother needing help in handling the problems that affect them also, our ministry is available.
You can have a part, or if you are already a supporter, an even greater part, in this ministry. We want you to partner with us and support us monthly with as much as God leads you to do. PLUC desires to employ more staff so we can minister to more people. The more we help, the greater our impact on this world.
基督里得自由(PLUC)终于拥有正式的办公室了!我们衷心感谢多位义工前来帮助我们打扫,油漆和搬迁。搬迁过程有好多东西需要清理和扔掉!这个新的办公室,麻雀虽小,五脏俱全,而且交通方便,四通八达。相信在新的办公室我们能做更多的服事。PLUC迈进了新的成长阶段。
在这期的蝴蝶,我愿借此机会介绍PLUC的团队,在过去的6年使这事工从无到有的一班人。当中有的是新面孔,有的是从一开始就忠心摆上到今日。事工逐渐增长,需要每个队员贡献心力,各尽其职。事实上,在这团队的协助下,促使我时时配合主所赐的异象和使命。
PLUC确信,靠我们的主耶稣基督的医治大能,同性恋中挣扎的人能痊愈。因此PLUC的任务是接触社群和栽培信徒经历耶稣里的真自由,成为敬虔的人。没人想到起初(2002年)一群人为了相互支持成立的小组将发展成为基督里得自由(PLUC)。
藉着主的恩典,我们竭尽所能把“在基督里能寻得自由”的信息传开。许多教会开放门户,让PLUC透过讲台传递信息。我们分享生命改变的故事,同时传讲上帝的话语所提到使人受捆绑,被奴役的事项。此外,我们也教导情感依赖,色情的根源,了解同性恋等课题。
在过去的几个月里我们已经到了多个教会,公立学校,还有一所神学院。电话询问和个人陪谈方面有很奇妙的果效。主利用这事工帮助及处理个人受束缚和因而使到家庭破分裂的问题。不论其是涉及同性恋,色情,或其他性瘾的行为,我们有一颗愿意帮助的心,而我们的主肯定愿意介入帮助。
我们盼望能扩大服事的层面,帮助更多人寻到耶稣基督里的自由。我们希望与教会及个人配搭同工,提供资源,当人有相关需要时伸出援手。无论是受困的个人,受影响的妻子或父母,我们愿意给予帮助。
欢迎你参与这事工,如果您一路都在支持我们,盼望你更加投入。我们盼望您在经济上每月按上帝的带领拨款支持我们。PLUC希望聘用更多的员工,让我们帮助更多的人。能帮助越多的人,我们就更能正面地影响这世界。
