Dear Bros and Sis in Christ,

主内亲爱的弟兄姐妹：

I have a very urgent and special prayer request. For nearly 2 months now I have not announced publicly, even to my prayer team to protect the confidentiality of the fragile situation I am about to tell you. In February the Holy Spirit led me supernaturally to a special young man named "Edison Chen." He is a famous pop star in Hong Kong and China who recently this year was involved in a internet sex scandal that received worldwide attention. My heart broke for this young man when I heard the news. I prayed for him to find the love of God and the forgiveness that is offered through Jesus Christ. I also prayed that God would use this situation for greater good, somehow to redeem and bless the youth and families of Asia. Through a series of divine circumstances in February God brought me to Edison, I shared the Gospel and God's personal prophetic word to him and Edison gave his life to Christ. His heart was genuine, his repentance was true, and I was so happy to see a new brother find God's forgiveness, mercy and grace. God truly loves Edison. The days after, many others in his family and circle of friends came to know Christ. It was a supernatural experience, that only God could orchestrate.

我有一个非常紧急又很特别的代祷恳求。将近两个月的时间里，为脆弱局势保守机密，我从未向公众宣布，也未曾向我的祷告团队透露今天要告诉你们的消息。就在二月，圣灵以超自然的方式引领我认识一个名叫EDISON CHEN陈冠希的年轻人。他是香港和中国地区知名的影星，今年曾因“艳照门”性丑闻事件引起世界范围的广泛关注。当我听到那则新闻的时候，我的心为这个年轻人破碎了。我为他祈祷，愿他找到上帝的爱和基督里的赦免宽恕。我也祈祷上帝用整个事态来为福音效力，使得亚洲的青年一代和家庭得蒙救赎和祝福。透过一连串奇妙的环境安排，二月间上帝将我带到陈冠希身边，我向他分享了福音和神对他个人的预言。之后他愿意将他的生命交付基督耶稣。他的心是真诚的，他的悔改是真诚的。我很高兴看到一个新生的弟兄获得了上帝的宽恕、怜悯和恩典。上帝真的爱冠希。接下来的日子里，他的家人和朋友中许多归向了耶稣基督。这是一个惟有上帝能掌管的超自然经历。

Yesterday night, I found out that one of the largest secular magazines in Hong Kong/Asia had caught wind of Edison's conversion and wrote a front page story on our friendship. I was very much in shock to hear about this because I had not spoken about this publicly for nearly 2 months. I was more surprised when my contact in Hong Kong told me the article was 100% positive, shared about my own conversion experience, my personal ministry and how Edison is starting a new life and new path in Christ. Honestly, when I heard this news knowing that millions all over Asia would read this uplifting article and possibly find Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, I wept.

昨天晚上，我发现香港/亚洲地区最大的社区杂志之一《东周刊》捕捉到冠希信耶稣的新闻，并在封面刊登了我们的友谊。我很震惊地获知这则新闻，因为过去将近两个月的时间我从未对外公布过。香港的友人告诉我，文章百分之百正面地报导了我个人的悔改见证、我个人的事工，以及冠希怎样地开始在基督里开始新生命和道路，得知这个我更加地震惊--诚实地说，当我听到亚洲数以万计的人将会读到这篇鼓舞人心的文章，他们将会有机会找到耶稣基督做他们的人生主宰和救主，我哭了。

I wept with joy for Edison and all the millions in Asia who have been negatively effected by the sin & immorality that was spread. I knew God was restoring Edison, a prodigal son who had returned to his heavenly Father. I wept, because God spoke to me when I met Edison that He would bring greater good from this scandal than evil. That what Satan meant for evil, God would turn for good. I am thankful to God because I know millions who read this magazine will see that God has forgiven Edison Chen and all the victims, showing them His love and mercy. Therefore, those who read this article after realizing that God has forgiven Edison, will also realize that Jesus can forgive their sins and give them hope for a new life in Christ. Please pray that God uses this testimony to bless the masses with the power of the Gospel. Good News is spreading in Asia, Jesus died on the cross and resurrected on the third day so our sins could be forgiven and anyone who believes in Him will not die, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

为冠希和亚洲数以万计曾被广为传播的性丑闻事件负面影响到的人们，我喜乐地哭泣。我知道上帝在重建冠希，一个回归天父怀抱的浪子。我哭泣，因为我遇到冠希时，上帝告诉我他将从这次性丑闻的邪恶里带出更大的荣耀。撒旦虽然意在邪恶，但上帝却以善胜恶。我感谢上帝，因为我知道杂志的几百万读者将会看到，上帝已经宽恕冠希和所有受害者，将他的慈爱和怜悯显示给他们看。所以，那些读者意识到上帝已经宽恕冠希之后，也会发现耶稣能赦免他们的罪，并给他们带来基督里新生命的盼望。请你们祈祷上帝以福音的大能来使用这个见证祝福千千万万的人。福音正在亚洲传播：那就是耶稣死在十字架上、第三天从死里复活，我们的罪得以赦免，一切信他的人不至灭亡反得永生。（约翰福音三章十六节）

Now I ask you for prayer. Edison Chen, the Victims and myself need your prayers more than ever before.
现在我请求你祈祷。陈冠希，众多的受害者和我自己比从前更需要你的祷告。

Please pray for Edison Chen and others...
请为冠希和他人祷告：

1. Pray for protection from media pressure: There is a lot of pressure with an public article like this to perform as a Christian. Please pray that people realize Edison and others who have become Christian are still a work in progress. As I am a work in progress myself. No one is perfect, we are all human and we all need love and forgiveness. God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but to trust in His mercy and grace. Pray that God would protect this story and situation against gossip, accusation or deception, but only the truth of Jesus Christ would continually be uplifted in the media.

1。为保护免受媒体压力而祈祷：

身为基督徒，这篇公众媒体的文章会给他带来很多压力。请祈祷人们可以认识到，冠希和其他基督徒仍是上帝正塑造的工作，需要成长的空间。我也是。没有人是十全十美的，我们都是人，都需要爱和宽恕。上帝没有期待我们完美，但需要我们相信他的怜悯和恩典。祈求上帝保守这则文章和情势不受流言、指控或谎言的干扰，惟有耶稣基督的真理在媒体上被高举。

2. Please pray millions of Christians around the world would pray for Edison, his family, the victims to be strengthened in faith, comforted and restored to be a testimony to society in a positive way. Pray that the many victims of this situation would also find faith and forgiveness in Christ.

2。请祈祷世界各地的基督徒会为陈冠希、为他的家人和众多受害者祷告

愿他们信心坚固，心灵重获安慰和复兴，在社区中成为正面的见证。祈祷上帝这次事件中的众多受害者也能在基督里得救、得赦免。

3. Pray that many who read this article and story would be saved. Pray that those who read this testimony of Edison's repentance and faith in Christ, my own personal testimony will realize that God loves them also, that they can be forgiven of their sins and have a new life in Jesus Christ. Pray as they realize God has forgiven Edison, He will also forgive them.

3。祈祷读到这篇新闻故事的人们可以得救。

为那些读到冠希悔改信主见证和我个人见证的读者祈祷，愿他们认识到上帝也爱他们，他们也可以罪蒙赦免，在基督里开始新生命。祈祷他们认识到，上帝已经宽恕冠希，上帝也会宽恕他们。

4. Pray that my family and I would be a great testimony for Christ. Please pray that God would protect and help me and my family in America and Hong Kong to be good witnesses for Christ. I am returning to Hong Kong in May for ministry and I need God's wisdom in how to talk about this story to others so that they see Christ and not me or anyone else. May He keep me, Edison and all others humble, so that we decrease but Christ would increase.

4。祈祷我和我的家人可以成为基督的见证人。

请祈祷上帝保护帮助我和我在美国以及香港的家人，成为基督美好的见证人。五月我将返回香港开展事工，我需要上帝赐予我智慧，去和他人分享这个见证，愿他们从中看见基督而不是我或其他任何人。愿上帝保守我、冠希和其他人谦卑，愿我们衰微、基督必兴旺。

5. Ask God to turn what was meant for evil into good. Pray that through this scandal, that greater good would come out of this than evil. Pray that millions will be inspired, touched and put their faith in Jesus Christ across the world. This scandal was probably one of the biggest news stories in Asia in the last decade, many were adversely affected, but God now can turn the tide and bring hope and healing to all the world and turn tragedy into triumph!

5。愿上帝将邪恶化为良善的祝福。

祈祷透过这次丑闻，上帝彰显他卓然的荣耀。祈祷全世界成千上万的人们被激励和感动，愿意信靠耶稣基督。这次丑闻也许是亚洲地区在过去一个时代中最引起轩然大波的新闻之一，许多人受到负面影响，但上帝现在正扭转形势，将盼望和医治带给整个世界，将悲剧化为得胜！

Lastly, I just really want you all to keep this low key and simply "pray" if you read this. Pray for Edison, he is like a brother to me. I love him and he has a good heart. Many people will try to ridicule or doubt what has happened, but it doesn't matter because I know him and he is not only truly repentant, but he is doing his best to become a better man, change his ways, and live for God. He is a good person. We all make mistakes. I urge the public who reads this, judge not or you will be judged as the Bible says. Forgive Edison, the victims and ask God to forgive your own sins, because none of us are perfect and we all need Jesus forgiveness. Edison is a good man, God loves him, knows his heart is truly sorry and will restore him to be a great role model in society. I know it, I have faith not only for him but for all who are affected by this. Pray for Edison's spiritual restoration. Because t's not easy, Edison, his family, his friends and myself are all God's work in progress and we need prayers, patience, mercy and grace from everyone to not point the finger, gossip or anything else, but to simply pray asking God to make us more like Christ each day and to be a testimony for Him in this generation. May God receive all the glory in this.

最后，我真的希望你们将此保持低调，只要简单地“祈祷”。为冠希祷告，他就象我的一个弟兄。我爱他，他有一个美好的心灵。许多人试图嘲笑或质疑，但那都没关系，因为我了解他，他不仅真正地悔改，而且他正尽力成为一个更加出色的男人，改变他的生活方式为上帝而活。他是一个好人。我们都会犯错。我请求正在读这篇文章的公众：不要论断免得你们被论断，因为这是圣经所说的。宽恕冠希、宽恕受害者，祈祷上帝也赦免你们自己的罪，因为我们没有一个义人，同样需要耶稣的赦免。冠希是一个好人，上帝爱他，知道他内心真的痛悔，上帝会重建他的生命，使他在社会中成为伟大的榜样。我知道，我不仅对他有信心，也对所有被此影响到的人们有信心。请为冠希灵性的恢复祈祷，因为那并非易事。冠希、他的家人、他的朋友和我自己都是上帝正在塑造的工作，我们都需要每个人的祈祷、耐心、怜悯和恩慈，不用指头指摘我们、不用流言诽谤我们，而是简单地祈祷上帝塑造我们每天更象耶稣，成为他在这个时代的见证人。愿荣耀归给上帝！

Below is the magazine article. God is faithful. Please pray right now for God's will to be done. Thank you!
以下是杂志文章。上帝是信实的。请现在就祈祷，愿上帝的旨意成全。谢谢你!

Under the mercy,
同在主怜悯中，
