Brother Xinshen Gu<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My Spiritual father, dear Brother Daw Jiueng Lee has gone to the Lord.\u00a0 Though my heart has unspeakable regret and yearning for this moment, but I know, it is the Lord who has measured the best for him, that he can rest in the bosom of the Lord that he so loved.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Second Timothy 3:14 says \u201cBut you, continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from which ones you have learned them.\u201d\u00a0 Yes, I have learned to much from dear Brother Daw Jiueng.\u00a0 What he has said, has not said, all taught me, contributed so much to my perfecting, it is hard to describe them all!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When sharing his salvation testimony in the past, Brother Daw Jiueng often described how he has received help and perfecting from this portion of the ministry from Brother Witness Lee.\u00a0 Thus, for his whole life, he has faithfully followed this ministry closely.\u00a0 How he has received from the brothers before, then there is absolutely nothing holding back to help perfect the saints, also perfected me.\u00a0 This is such a model!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In August 1988, Brother Daw Jiueng came to serve in Paraguay, I was fortunate enough to meet him here, receive his leading, live the church life together.\u00a0 Thank the Lord, it is in this period, Brother Daw Jiueng lead me to know the Lord\u2019s Recovery, to treasure the riches of the ministry, know the center of God\u2019s economy\u2014Christ and the church, and told me to abide in it for the entirety of my life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What impressed me the most deeply is, Brother Daw Jiueng lead us to know the spirit, exercise the spirit, use the spirit, and to live in the mingled spirit.\u00a0 He helped us to use the Lord\u2019s word to pray, to read, to gain nourishment, to get enjoyment.\u00a0 In normal daily living, we can often hear Brother Daw Jiueng loudly calling: \u201cOh! Lord Jesus, amen!\u00a0 Hallelujah! Amen!\u201d\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t just loudly practice, he also leads us to practice.\u00a0 He is a man that does his best to practice, even more so an example of a man that lives in the spirit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Brother Daw Jiueng also lead us to exercise our character.\u00a0 He says, a person must have a good character, to be used by the Lord.\u00a0 Which is why he himself practices nonstop, \u201cGoing against nature, to conquer the self; exercise the spirit, to live out Christ.\u201d\u00a0 It is thru these steadfast exercises, that his whole life may be used for the Lord, and became an example to me, greatly influenced my whole life!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Starting from 1989, Brother Daw Jiueng took me to Anaheim, USA twice a year to attend the Live Winter and Summer Training of Witness Lee, the Lord\u2019s servant, so that I may have a wonderful foundation on Truth and Life.\u00a0 Going back to Paraguay after the training, he led me to fellowship to various churches, sharing the rich supply that we have received within the training.\u00a0 This not only allows the various churches to benefit, it also allowed me to get good perfecting on the matter of speaking for the Lord.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Starting from 1990, Brother Daw Jiueng started leading us to have gospel preaching in various localities in Paraguay, establishing churches.\u00a0 And he encouraged the various localities to build meeting halls, and we truly have the Lord\u2019s blessing.\u00a0 Starting from the first three meeting halls, we\u2019ve grown to thirty-two meeting halls.\u00a0 The Lord\u2019s Testimony in the entire Paraguay, has thus boomed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In 1998, Brother Daw Jiueng saw the future of the Lord\u2019s Recovery in Paraguay, require rising up and perfecting the local young saints, to enter into the ranks of coordination service.\u00a0 After the saints\u2019 prayer and offerings in one accord, we\u2019ve successfully bought land this year, and built a training center that can accommodate over a hundred trainees.\u00a0 Starting from buying the land, to the building and the overseeing, Brother Daw Jiueng doesn\u2019t care how hard it is, personally did all of them.\u00a0 In 2000, the training center was finished and started to operate, Brother Daw Jiueng and his wife personally went to live in the training center, to live and exercise with the trainees, nourishing the young people that the Lord needs for moving forward in Paraguay.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That period of time when he was serving in the training center, Brother Daw Jiueng lived a life of completely denying the self, pouring out his entire being for the Lord\u2019s need.\u00a0 Once, Sister Lee was sick, we sent her to a hospital that is over an hour and a half\u2019s car ride away overnight.\u00a0 That evening, Brother Daw Jiueng is unwilling to stay at the hospital, insisted to return to the training center to serve the trainees.\u00a0 And prepared for the national conference of Paraguay every year, Brother Daw Jiueng often personally lead the trainees, clean up outside in below zero-degree Celsius weather, to the point that he once got frostbite.\u00a0 He truly is a Lord\u2019s servant who doesn\u2019t care about himself, completely and utterly has consecrated himself.\u00a0 Such sacrifice, pouring out, often touched us and make us feel ashamed that we cannot do more!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After Brother Daw Jiueng and his wife returned to Taiwan, whenever I went to visit him, he always cared about the progress of the Lord\u2019s Recovery in Paraguay, and especially cared for the saints that he has served before, asked and asked again, cared and cared again, interceded for them.\u00a0 He loves the Lord, loves the church, and the heart that loves the saints, will forever be our lifelong example.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just as Paul has said in 2 Tim. 4:7 \u201cI have fought the good fight; I have finished the course; I have kept the faith.\u201d\u00a0 The brother that we so loved is like this too.\u00a0 Looking back at his lifelong experience, he has fought the fight that he must, finished running the course that, and have kept the faith.\u00a0 I believe that God has prepared for him, a crown of righteousness as reward.\u00a0 We are also willing to follow Brother Daw Jiueng\u2019s footsteps like this, continue running the course ahead.\u00a0 Glory be to God!\u00a0 Amen!<\/p>\n
