聖經世界觀
2023年由和角聲宣教士學院合辦的世界觀教師培訓班拉開序幕。通過這種合作，我們能夠接觸到更廣泛的學員。過去十週每個星期六我們花三個半小時與平均有150名來自不同州和國家的學生，在網路上一起學習和討論我們當前面臨的重要議題以及如何用聖經的世界觀回應。我能感受到學員對聖經世界觀學習的渴望與興奮。許多在西岸的學生一大早起床，而亞洲的學生則熬夜上課。在星期四晚上，我們還有一個特別小組，為大約10位無法參加星期六課程的牧者準備。同時，每週二我也通過Zoom和實體在紐約信心神學院向約20名學生教授聖經世界觀，為期12週，直到5月。
三月，我應一個教會的邀請，在他們的主日學完成了12週的世界觀課程後，為22名學生頒發證書，其中包括一位91歲的老弟兄。
現在我們正在與許多志願者合作製作更好的課程，以便我們可以提供教會在主日學或小組中學習聖經世界觀。
講座和特會
上帝繼續在週間和星期天通過Zoom或實體親自打許多機會。以下是一位英文牧者在其個人Facebook的分享（原作為英文）：
我們的教會與鄭牧師進行了為期三天的精彩的特會。我們最初計劃將此作為為年輕父母舉辦的育兒和信仰特會，但結果證明這是對我們整個教會的祝福。他能夠與所有團契的父母們聯結。許多弟兄姊妹一起服侍，才促成這次特會的召開。我們有一家一菜的晚餐、問答時間、一個樂於助人的寄宿家庭、主日學時間等等。鄭牧師提醒我們的教會，將不同世代人聯繫在一起的重要性，無論老少。在主日崇拜時間，他甚至讓我們的孩子來接受父母的祝福。在我們正開始新的英文堂之際，這對我們來說是一個及時的提醒。
非常感謝鄭牧師願意來波士頓。他的分享將成為該地區其他教會的幫助。感謝我們在大流行爆發之前在巴爾的摩的CMC2019上偶然相遇。

每日靈修
我們的英語每日靈修已經持續了三年多：週一到週五，每天兩次，每次40分鐘，許多來自不同州和國家的青少年和家長忠心地參加，有的已經參加一年多了。天天讀神的話，看到年輕人的生命發生變化，實在是喜樂了。
在家教育
每月的 Zoom月會，我們通過邀請不同的講員分享他們的經驗並為在家教育的父母提供一個連結和分享他們的挑戰和相互鼓勵的平台。三月起我們每月兩次在我家開始在家教育Co-op共學家庭，以聯繫和支持本地的在家教育家庭。我們也鼓勵居住在其他地方的吹號者事工在家教育的家庭也聚集在一起。

個人
讚美主，因為我的健康狀況在經歷了去年的“戲劇性事件”後（7次急診就診和在醫院住了17天）恢復良好。除了每天散步，我還盡可能每週遊泳幾次。靠著上帝的恩典，我仍然可以做祂呼召我去做的事。
感謝您在許多項目上的祈禱、財務支持和實際參與。沒有您的參與，我們無法做現在正在做的事情。隨著天氣越來越好，將有更多的事工機會和旅行。感謝您的忠心支持，讓我們可以共同承擔拯救下一代的緊迫使命。
願上帝保佑你！

Biblical Worldview
The Year 2023 kicked off with a Biblical Worldview Teachers’ Training Class in conjunction with CCHC’s Mission School in Queens, NYC. With this connection, the class was able to reach a broader audience. Every Saturday, for 3.5 hours over a 10-week period, the class, averaging 150 students from different states and countries, studied and discussed important issues we face as believers in today’s world, including, very importantly, how to respond with a biblical perspective. I sensed that there was a great hunger and excitement for training in the biblical worldview. Due to time zone differences, students on the West Coast needed to wake up early and others in Asia stayed up beyond midnight in order to join the class. On Thursday nights, I spoke with a group of about 10 pastors who were unable to attend the class on Saturdays. Additionally, every Tuesday for 12 weeks until May, I am teaching a Biblical Worldview Class at Faith Bible Seminary to about 20 students, with participants joining in person and on Zoom.
In March I was invited to speak at a church which had used my 12 week-Biblical Worldview materials for their Sunday School curriculum. To conclude the class, I gave out certificates to the 22 students, among them being a Christian brother who is 91-years old.
Trumpeter Ministries is currently working with many volunteers to publish the Biblical Worldview curriculum which churches will be able to use in their Sunday Schools or in small group meetings.
Speaking Engagements
God continues to open up many speaking opportunities on Zoom or in person, both on weekdays and on weekends. Here is one response received from Pastor Angie’s Facebook:
Our church had a wonderful 3 day conference with Pastor Lenny Cheng. We originally planned this as a parenting and faith conference for youth parents, but it turned out to be a blessing for our whole church. He was able to connect with the parents from all the fellowships. And many brothers and sisters served together to make this conference happen. We had a potluck dinner, Q&A time, a willing host family, Sunday school time and more. Pastor Lenny reminded our church the importance of connecting the generations together, young and old. He brought even our children in for a blessing time during Sunday service time. This is such a timely reminder for us just as we start a new English service.
So thankful Pastor Lenny was willing to come to Boston. He would be a great speaker to other churches in this area. Thankful that we met by chance at CMC2019 in Baltimore before the pandemic hit.
Daily Devotions
Our English Daily Devotions has been continuing for more than three years: Monday to Friday, twice a day, each session 40 minutes. Many young people and parents from different states and countries join faithfully; some have joined for over a year! It is a great delight to see young people’s lives being changed – “just” through the daily reading of God’s Word!
Homeschooling
We continue our monthly online Christian homeschoolers’ meetings on Zoom in which different speakers are invited to share. Afterwards, breakout rooms are provided for Chinese Christian homeschoolers to connect, to share the challenges they face, and to provide mutual encouragement to one another. In March we started a homeschool co-op in our home which meets approximately twice a month, to support homeschool families in the NYC-Long Island area. We encourage Trumpeter Ministries homeschooling members residing in other localities to gather together as well.
Personal
Praise the Lord that this year my health condition is good, after experiencing much “drama” last year: 7 ER visits and 17 days of hospitalization in total. Besides daily walking, I also try to swim a few times a week. By the grace of God I am still able to do what God has called me to do.
Thank you for your partnership with Trumpeter Ministries through your prayers, financial support, and serving as my actual co-workers on many projects! Without your involvement we would not be able to do what we are doing now. As the weather is getting warmer, there are many more ministry opportunities and occasions to travel. Thank you again for your faithful support! Together we can carry on the urgent mission of Saving the Next Generation.
May God bless you!
Pastor Lenny Cheng
