時間總是不斷向前，但有時候，我們需要停下腳步，回顧神一路的帶領，好讓我們能夠帶著更新的異象與力量繼續向前。正如詩篇九十篇十二節所說：「求祢指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好叫我們得著智慧的心。」
2026 年 7 月 1 日，「吹號者事工」（Trumpeter Ministries）迎來了五週年的里程碑。這是一段遠遠超過我所能想像的旅程。我從未夢想過要成立一個機構，更沒有計畫發展一個事工。這一切，只是對神放在我心中呼召的一個「不情願」卻順服的回應。這個呼召，始於一種神聖的不滿足（holy dissatisfaction）：為什麽教會下ㄧ代的大量流失、 教會對文化沒有影響力，並逐漸化成一個神聖的企圖心（holy ambition）：如何改變。
神藉著我多年服事華人教會英文事工，以及自己的家庭，栽種了吹號者事工的種子，也一步一步帶領我離開電腦工程師的工作，進入美南浸信會神學院（SBTS）接受裝備。2007 年進入神學院之前，神特別藉著《以西結書》33章 「守望者吹角警戒百姓」和《耶利米書》1章「起來，將我所吩咐你的一切話都告訴他們」；向我說話，我寫下神對我的呼召：「推廣聖經世界觀、復興家庭、推動在家教育（Homeschool）。」
這條道路並不容易。當時我們四個孩子最大的十四歲、最小的只有三歲，我們原本過著許多人羨慕的「舒適基督徒生活」。然而，就像亞伯拉罕、摩西一樣，神在使用一個人之前，常常先呼召他離開舒適圈。雖然轉變十分艱難，但神一直用祂的恩典扶持我們走過。
神更奇妙地使用了 COVID-19 疫情，孕育了吹號者事工。當全世界都封鎖在家時，神卻為我們打開了一扇極大的網路福音之門。
然而，回頭來看，真正重新點燃異象的是 2019 年 12 月的華人差傳大會（CMC）。神藉著那次聚會重燃起我心中的火，因此在 2020 年 3 月，也就是疫情全面封鎖前一週，開始了吹號者的 YouTube 頻道。疫情期間，我們幾乎沒有停止過服事，持續舉辦世界觀講座、線上工作坊及每日靈修。
成立機構原本並不在我的計畫中，但當神一扇又一扇地關上門時，祂也同時不斷加深我回應呼召的渴望。終於，在 2021 年 7 月 1 日，「吹號者事工」正式成立。其實，那只是把過去一年多一直在做的事情，更專注、更全心地投入。
然而，回應神的呼召並不代表道路會一帆風順。在神學院時我已學過這個功課，而這一次，最大的挑戰卻來自我的身體。2022 年 3 月至 6 月短短幾個月間，我七次進出急診室，在醫院住了十七天。那是我生命中極大的挫折，也是信心最受考驗的一段日子。然而，就在病床上，神向我顯明了「愚公移山」的異象。
神清楚地提醒我：不是愚公移的山，而是神移的。
感謝主！祂不僅醫治了我的身體，更更新了我的靈魂。此後，神奇妙地打開許多服事的大門，讓我們能夠在美國、加拿大、台灣甚至澳洲分享「搶救下一代（Saving the Next Generation）」的信息，也帶領我們出版了兩套聖經世界觀教材，裝備教會與基督徒家庭。
然而，我並沒有太多值得慶祝的感覺。因為每到一個地方，我都看見同樣令人心碎的景象——許多父母為著那些在教會長大、如今卻離開信仰、接受另一套世界觀的孩子流淚。更令人痛心的是，不少教會和基督教機構選擇繞過這座山，甚至擁抱這座山。但另一方面，我也看見了如「巴掌大的雲彩。」無論走到哪裡，我都遇見許多願意站出來、一起投入這場屬靈爭戰的基督徒。很多人問我：「吹號者事工到底有多少位同工？」我的回答很簡單：很多，而且遍佈世界各地。
謝謝在過去五年,許多與我們同心同行的「吹號者」,也謝謝許多教會的邀請和支持。特別感謝我的妻子。她原本是個喜歡待在家的人，卻願意一次又一次陪伴我四處奔波，安排所有行程，在我最需要的時候鼓勵我、扶持我，成為我最重要的事奉夥伴。我也感謝我的四個孩子。神藉著他們，使我在做父親的成功與失敗中學習許多寶貴的功課，也更加堅定我「搶救下一代」的使命。
我深感自己不配，卻蒙神恩典，成為一位「吹號者」: 警戒危險、集結行動、ㄧ起爭戰、一同歡慶。一切榮耀都歸給神!
詩篇 65:11 你以恩惠為年歲的冠冕，你的路徑都滴下油脂。
Time is always moving forward, but sometimes it is good to pause and reflect on the past so that we can move ahead with renewed vision and strength. As Psalm 90:12 reminds us: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
On July 1, 2026, Trumpeter Ministries reached an important milestone—our fifth anniversary. The journey has gone far beyond anything I could have imagined. I never dreamed of starting an organization, nor did I ever plan to build a ministry. Everything began with a reluctant yet obedient response to God’s calling upon my heart.
That calling began with a holy dissatisfaction: Why are so many of the next generation leaving the church? Why has the church lost its influence on the culture? Over time, that dissatisfaction grew into a holy ambition—to seek God’s answer and become part of His solution.
God planted the seed of Trumpeter Ministries through my years of serving in the English ministries of Chinese churches and through my own family. Step by step, He led me to leave my career as a computer engineer and enter The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) for theological training.
Before entering seminary in 2007, God spoke to me through Ezekiel 33, where the watchman is commanded to sound the trumpet to warn the people, and through Jeremiah 1, where God says, “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you.”
In response, I wrote down God’s calling for my life:
To teach a biblical worldview, strengthen families, and promote homeschooling.
The journey was not easy. At the time, our four children ranged in age from three to fourteen, and we were enjoying what many would consider a comfortable Christian life.Yet, just as God called Abraham and Moses to leave their comfort zones before using them, He called our family to do the same.
The transition was difficult, but through every step God faithfully sustained us with His grace and provision.
Then, in His marvelous providence, God used COVID-19 to start Trumpeter Ministries. While the world was locked down, God opened an extraordinary door online.
Looking back, however, the vision was actually revived prior to that —at the Chinese Mission Convention (CMC) in Baltimore in December 2019. It was there that God rekindled the fire in my heart. As a result, we launched the Trumpeter Ministries YouTube channel in March 2020, just one week before the nationwide COVID shutdown.
Throughout the pandemic, we never stopped our work. We continually offered online biblical worldview training, workshops, and daily devotions.
Starting an organization had never been part of my own plan. Yet God closed all other doors, and He deepened my desire to obey His calling.
Finally, on July 1, 2021, Trumpeter Ministries was officially established. In reality, I was simply giving my full attention and wholehearted commitment to what God had already been leading me to do for more than a year.
Responding to God’s calling, however, does not guarantee a smooth road. I first learned that lesson in seminary, but this time my greatest challenge came through my physical health.
Between March and June of 2022, I was admitted to the emergency room seven times and spent a total of seventeen days in the hospital. It was one of the most difficult seasons of my faith.
Yet it was there, lying in a hospital bed, that God revealed to me the vision of “Yugong Moves the Mountain”.
God impressed one truth deeply upon my heart:
It was not Yugong who moved the mountain. It was God who moved the mountain.
Praise the Lord!
He not only restored my physical health but also renewed my soul.
Since then, God has miraculously opened many doors for ministry. We have had the privilege of sharing the message of “Saving the Next Generation” throughout the United States, Canada, Taiwan, and even Australia. He has also enabled us to publish two biblical worldview curricula to equip churches and Christian families.
Yet I have not felt there is much reason to celebrate.
Everywhere I travel, I encounter the same heartbreaking stories. Parents are weeping over sons and daughters who grew up in the church but who have since walked away from the faith and embraced an entirely different worldview.
Even more heartbreaking is that many churches and Christian organizations have chosen either to walk around “the mountain”—or to even embrace it.
At the same time, however, I have also seen what Scripture describes as “a cloud as small as a man’s hand” (1 Kings 18:44)—a sign that God is preparing to send rain.
Everywhere I go, I meet believers who are willing to stand up and to join this spiritual battle.
People often ask me,“How many coworkers does Trumpeter Ministries have?”
My answer is simple: Many—and they are spread all over the world.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the Trumpeters who have walked alongside us during these past five years. I am also deeply thankful to the many churches that have invited us to share this vision and have supported this ministry.
I am especially grateful for my wife. Although she naturally enjoys being at home, she has willingly traveled with me, organized countless ministry trips, encouraged me during my weakest moments, and faithfully served as my closest ministry partner.
I am equally thankful for our four children. Through them, God has taught me priceless lessons—both through my successes and my failures as a father—and has continually strengthened my conviction that Saving the Next Generation is a mission worth giving our lives for.
I am humbled that, by God’s grace, He has allowed me to serve as a Trumpeter:
To give a warning,
To call people to action,
To give a battle signal,
To give a sound of celebration.
To God alone be all the glory!
Psalm 65:11 You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
