我记忆中的党姊妹
第一次见党姊妹，是在康大地铁站，大约是2017年或者2018年，我当时在康大读书，她在地铁口发单张，很热情，告诉我她姓党，在加拿大生活已经很多年了，她加我微信，跟我说我们教会有麦吉尔的教授。我当时来加拿大时间还很短，并不了解教会，总觉得自己很忙，就没有来教会，但是我记得她。现在想起来，这就是她许许多多传福音的日子里最普通的一天。
2018年10月我的同学结婚的时候邀请我主日来教会，那是我在加拿大第一次接触教会，我才知道原来党姊妹就在这里。党姊妹记录了我的联系方式，她发现我住的公寓离她家不远，还特地来过我家，她没有进门，只是开车到我家门口，当时她开一辆白色的车，穿着一件唐装，很漂亮。她带给我她做的酱牛肉，她厨艺非常好，她做的酱牛肉是我在加拿大吃到的味道最正宗的酱牛肉了，我儿子也特别喜欢。
那年的冬天党姊妹又邀请我和很多年轻人去她家吃饭，她做了很多的菜，请了很多的人。
后来我就经常来教会，党姊妹也有邀请我读经，她陪我读经一般半小时一次，可是我经常有各种原因跟她读经不多。这个暑假我闲了下来，党姊妹又邀请我传福音和读经，我们一起去过康大附近，当时她的体力已经不是太好了，我开车去康大附近停车，走路到康大约十分钟的地方，党姊妹让我先把她放在康大路口那里，因为走路十分钟对她有些累。我想如果我走路十分钟都觉得累，我是不会出去传福音的，我会告诉弟兄姊妹，我体力不支，但是党姊妹在这种情况下仍然在康大附近走了不少的路程，而且回来的时候，我开车把她带到修女岛上，她还要自己开车回南岸的家，我本来说我可以开车去接送她，但是她不想麻烦我，因为我住在修女岛，她就说要自己开车到修女岛，传福音回来后自己再开车回家。
这个暑假我们读过几次圣经，我们一起最后一次读经是8月18日，当时读的彼得前书，
5 你们年幼的,也要顺服年长的。就是你们 众人也都要以谦卑束腰,彼此顺服；因为神阻 挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。
6所以，你们要自卑，服在神大能的手下，到了时候他必叫你们升高。
7你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神，因为他顾念你们。
8务要谨守，儆醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼， 如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻找可吞吃的人。
9你们要用坚固的信心抵挡它，因为知道你 们在世上的众弟兄也是经历这样的苦难。
10那赐诸般恩典的神曾在基督里召你们，得 享他永远的荣耀，等你们暂受苦难之後，必要亲自成全你们，坚固你们，赐力量给你们。
11愿权能归给他，直到永永远远。阿们！(彼得前书5:5-11)
党姊妹是一个十分谦卑，谨守又儆醒的圣徒，是我们学习的榜样。
What I Remember about Sister Tang
It was in 2017 or 2018 when I met Sister Tang for the first time. I was a student at Concordia University at that time. She was handing out the flyers of our church at the entrance of the metro station. She told me she was Sister Tang and she had been living in Canada for many years. She invited me to our church where I could meet a professor from McGill. She added me on WeChat. At that time, I was still new in Canada, and I did not know much about the church. I did not really come to the church with the convenient excuse of being ‘busy’. That day must be one of the many days when Sister Tang preached gospel.
I was invited to a wedding in October 2018. The bride was my friend. She told me there would be a ceremony in our church, too. That was how I came to our church for the first time. To my surprise Sister Tang was there too. She went to where I lived after she found that my apartment was not far away from her house. I still remember how beautiful she was in her Chinese tyle jacket when she arrived in front of my apartment building in her white car. She took to me some spiced beef. It was the most delicious
spiced beef that I have tasted in Canada. Both my son and I liked it very much.
The winter of 2018, Sister Tang invited me and many other students and young people to her home. She cooked a lot of food.
Then I began to attend church regularly. Sister Tang invited me to read Bible with her, but I did not do it much with her. This summer, Sister Tang found that I was not working, and she invited me again to preach gospel and to read Bible with her. We went to Concordia together. I could see that she was weak. She told me to drop her near Concordia because she did not want to walk another 10 minutes to the place where I parked my car. In fact, she walked a lot that day. She also had to drive. I offered to pick her up and send her back to her home in South Shore, but she would rather drive to Nun’s Island where I live to save me the ‘trouble’. If I were so weak that I found it hard to walk 10 minutes, I would not go on the street to preach gospel. Sister Tang had so much faith that she could do it even when she was sick.
Sister Tang and I read Bible for several times this summer. It was August 18 the last time she read it with me.
Submit to God, Resist the Devil
5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for“God resists the proud,But gives grace to the humble.” 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.8 Be [c]sober, be [d]vigilant; [e]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But [f]may the God of all grace, who called [g]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [h]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Sister Tang is a most humble, sober and vigilant servant of God. She set an example for us to follow. (1Peter 5:5-10)
