This isn’t a story to celebrate me, but to celebrate Jesus and what He has done for me and what He continues to do every day. I write this because this is my way of thanking Him for loving me and washing my sins away. I never deserved any of this for a second, yet He loves me so much that he has led me out of the darkness. I want to share with you my love for Him and how I am ready to dedicate my life to Him.
I fell away from God during the first few years of post-secondary. I didn’t feel as if I belonged in church with all the “good kids.” Christians were just too good, while I felt sinful, guilty, and ashamed every time I stepped into church. I told myself: this is not where I want to be. I didn’t want to pretend that I’m a good person. So I left altogether.

無限的愛
Janet Lui | 中文翻譯：楊光
這個故事慶祝的不是我的成就，而是耶穌，慶祝他為我所作的並每天繼續做的一切，用我的方式感謝他給我的愛並洗淨我的罪。雖然我根本不應得，但他很愛我，帶領我走出黑暗。我想與大家分享我對他的愛，我怎樣準備好將生命奉獻給他。
大學的前兩年內，我遠離了上帝。我覺得自己與教會裡的「好小孩」太不一樣了。基督徒們實在是太好了，而我每次走進教堂都會感到有罪惡感、很羞愧。我告訴自己：我不想在這兒呆下去，我不想假裝自己是個好人。所以我徹底離開了。

Taiwan Part II: The Public Declaration
By Iris Lo
It was a cloudy Sunday afternoon, and I was sitting at a restaurant with my friends, waiting for our take-out orders. We were planning to take our lunch to the beach, where we can hang out until the baptism later that day. I looked across the table at my friend Cindy*. She had just graduated from senior high school, and today she was going to be baptized in the ocean. Her face showed a mixture of excitement and nervousness, and she was very quiet, as if trying to contain all the emotions within herself.

台灣第二章：公開宣言
原文：盧詠莛 | 中譯：蔡穎
那是個多雲的星期日下午，我和幾個朋友坐在餐廳裡等我們點的外賣，計畫著將午餐帶到海邊，在那兒打發時間，等待將在海邊舉行的浸禮儀式。我看著坐在對面的朋友Cindy*，剛高中畢業的她要接受浸禮。她很安靜，彷彿要將一切情緒隱藏起來，可是我卻在她臉上看到了夾雜著興奮又緊張的心情。

Encounters Part I: Taiwan
By Iris Lo
Two months ago, I was on a plane bound for Taiwan to begin my one-year journey away from home as a Partner of OMF (Overseas Missionary Fellowship) to do part-time missionary work whilst “tent-making” as a children’s English teacher. Having never lived on my own before and being fresh out of university, I felt like I had been plucked out of my sheltered life and dropped into an entirely new world. I am currently a part-time teacher at an English school and a helper at a new church-plant in the city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I’ve been pushed to learn Mandarin, to drive a scooter, and to look after myself.

「一見如故」第一章：台灣
原文：盧詠莛 | 中譯： 蔡穎
兩個月前，我搭乘飛機前往台灣，開始了離家為期一年去作「海外基督使團」的宣教事工，並且由當英文老師來維持生活。今年大學剛畢業的我，從未有自己隻身在外的經歷，突然覺得自己從一個備受呵護的生活中被拽出來、丟進了一個全新的世界。我現在臺灣高雄市一所英文學校作教師，也在當地一所新植堂的教會裡幫忙。因這裡的環境，我被迫學習國語、騎機車、並照顧自己的日常生活。儘管很想家，而且結識新朋友以及建立一個新生活很費力，但是上帝依然信實，祂的神性及祂對我的愛不曾改變。我也從「海外基督使團」的同伴和其他宣教士身上體驗了上帝的慈愛。遇到了這些從世界各地而來、堅守信仰的基督徒們，使我預先體會到以後在天堂裡的美好！
