Holiday Greetings from the Hans!
Hope that all is well with you and your family! Since we sent out our last newsletter we have met and heard from many of you. It was great catching up with you, and we hope to do more of that before we launch out! January is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to be in our new home for the next 4~5 years, Kyrgyzstan. However, the increasingly cold weather in LA is a constant reminder that we will arrive at our destination right in the middle of winter!

佳節問候
希望您及您的全家一切平安！自從寄出上回的代禱信之後，我們見到和聽到您們當中一些人的消息，在起程前我們非常高興知道您們的近況，同時也希望能和更多人相聚。明年一月很快就會來臨，我們非常期待前往我們將來4~5年在吉爾吉斯坦的新家。然而，越來越冷的洛杉磯天氣，正在提醒著我們到達吉爾吉斯坦時正是冬天時節。

2004年英語夏令營戶外活動現況
2004 Kyrgyzstan Short-term Mission Trip
In August/September, Willis led a small team back to Kyrgyzstan to host an English Summer Camp. The logistic and spiritual challenge was tremendous. Thank you for your prayers!!! The team really felt people praying for us. We experienced God’s grace in many ways – travel grace, health, bonding with students… we even had a “near-miss” with the police in a worship service for Muslim-background believers. Our team members described the trip as an “unforgetable,” “whirl-wind” experience. Beautiful friendships were initiated. Many lives were touched. We truly experienced God-at-work!

2004年吉爾吉斯坦短宣
在今年的八~九月間，偉炫帶領了一個短宣隊回到了吉爾吉斯坦，並舉辦了一個英語夏令營，後勤和靈性方面的準備是有相當的挑戰性。謝謝您們的代禱！！我們的團隊確實感受到大家禱告的力量和神各方面豐富的恩典,例如旅行的恩典、健康、和與學生們建立良好的關係。我們甚至曾經差一點被當地警察臨檢到我們那次沒有登記的聚會，因為那個聚會是為回教背景的信徒而辦的。我們短宣隊中就有人說這是一回難以忘懷的經驗。美好的友誼在這一次的短宣已開始了，許多人的生命被改變了，我們已體驗神在那裡作工！
