云云 (literally, "cloud cloud"😎) appears twice in this one chapter. I have never seen this anywhere. My name is 云. If you use it alone, it means cloud. If you double it, it means "etc."

(This is a copy of the letter they sent him.) To King Artaxerxes, From your servants in Trans-Euphrates: ...The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. ( Ezra 4:11,18 NIV )
上奏亚达薛西王说：“河西的臣民云云： ……那时王谕复省长利宏、书记伸帅，和他们的同党，就是住撒玛利亚并河西一带地方的人，说：“愿你们平安云云。 ( 以斯拉记 4:11,17 和合本 )

BOOK OF LIFE 生命册 - The Chinese version can mean "registry."
Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. ( Revelation 20:15 NIV )
若有人名字没记在生命册上，他就被扔在火湖里。( 启示录 20:15 和合本 )

TARGET OF 50 STUDENTS
We need to have students for a seminary to fulfill its mission. UNLESS we have students, all the best facilities, the best faculty, the best finance, etc. will all be useless.
That is why, our primary goal is to get students - starting with 50.
"The harvest is plentiful; the laborers are few."

Supporting a Bible school/seminary is like investing in our children's education. We do/should NOT look at getting any financial returns from our children. We do it simply because it is our responsibility. However, as we invest properly in our children's education, there will be returns on a personal and societal (Kingdom) level.
So, I am asking you to give towards 神召神學院 Ecclesia Theological Seminary, especially towards scholarshipping our students.
ETS is one of the world's oldest Chinese Pentecostal seminary. Many of the leaders of the largest Pentecostal churches/denominations in Hong Kong had their training in ETS. It is the only seminary within the Hong Kong Theological Education Association ("Hong Kong TEA") with a Pentecostal/Charismatic background. We must support ETS to ensure that the Spirit-Empowered movement will continue to flourish.

TRANSLATION BY CO-PILOT
支持一間聖經學院／神學院，就好似投資喺自己子女嘅教育一樣。我哋唔會、亦唔應該期望從子女身上得到咩金錢回報。我哋咁做，只係因為呢個係我哋嘅責任。
不過，當我哋好好投資喺子女嘅教育上面，最終無論係對個人、社會（同埋神國）都一定會有回報。
所以，我誠意邀請你為 神召神學院 Ecclesia Theological Seminary（ETS） 奉獻，特別係支持學生獎學金。
ETS 係全球歷史最悠久嘅華人五旬宗神學院之一。香港好多最大型五旬宗教會／宗派嘅領袖，都係喺 ETS 接受裝備。喺香港神學教育協會（Hong Kong TEA）入面，ETS 亦係唯一一間具有五旬宗／靈恩背景嘅神學院。
我哋必須支持 ETS，確保聖靈充滿嘅運動可以繼續興旺、繼續延伸。

（如果你想了解更多關於如何支持 ETS 獎學金，歡迎 inbox 我。）

NEW SONG: reminded of the new songs we have almost every Sunday. Really can't keep up.
新歌: 我们好像每个礼拜都有新歌。真的跟不上。
And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. ( Revelation 14:3 NIV )
他们在宝座前，并在四活物和众长老前唱歌，仿佛是新歌；除了从地上买来的那十四万四千人以外，没有人能学这歌。 ( 启示录 14:3 和合本 )

大结局 The Final Conclusion
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” ( Revelation 11:15 NIV )
第七位天使吹号，天上就有大声音说：世上的国成了我主和主基督的国；他要作王，直到永永远远。( 启示录 11:15 和合本 )

WELCOME TO MY CLASS
Many of you will be aware by now that I am teaching online for BOTH APTS and ETS. The course I am teaching this coming trimester (June 17 - August 28) is "Pentecostal Perspectives." It is a foundational course and will basically answer the question, "What is Pentecostalism?" Having been a pastor for many years, I want this course to minister to people; and not just "head knowledge."
If you are a Pentecostal, I hope you will discover the PURPOSE for which the Lord has empowered you. If you are not a Pentecostal yet, I hope you will have a powerful encounter with the PERSON of the Holy Spirit through a supernatural experience of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
I have attached here the same brochure so that you can register for the course. I have also included the course objectives.

There are three ETS summer courses to be held during the summer vacation this year. You can enrol in any of these courses as "special students" without going through the full application process.
For those who want to attend the "Pentecostal Perspectives" TH6013E class (which is totally online), you can contact me directly if you need a fee discount.
