感謝神的保守！第五屆全球大會的閉幕崇拜在五旬節聖潔會永光堂圓滿結束。
當晚，永光堂內充滿著活潑、喜樂的會眾，不論老幼皆熱情投入敬拜，熱切期待神的臨在。台上的詩班——姊妹穿上豔麗的紅色連身裙，弟兄身穿白恤衫、小馬甲配黑色西褲，神采煥發；郭敏怡姊妹則率領一群滿有恩賜的敬拜隊肢體，帶領我們齊聲歌頌主耶穌基督。郭姊妹的歌聲響亮，其奔放熱情的生命流露引領會眾享受了一場別具意義又喜樂的敬拜。其中有一環節更有四位可愛的小孩獻唱，他們的舞蹈無懈可擊，他們真誠的歌聲感染著我們也一同和唱。
其後，加拿大五旬節聖潔會的總監督哥登麥當勞牧師（Bishop Gordon McDonald）上台分享，我譽他為國際五旬節聖潔會中的丹‧裴茲牧師(Pastor Dan Betzer)。裴茲牧師曾在美國全國電台神召會的頻道中講道，如果你閉上眼睛聆聽麥當勞牧師分享，你也會有同感的，這就像裴茲牧師在講道。
麥當勞牧師首先向德亞瑟主理主教送上至深的敬意，因為德亞瑟主教是一位不論在五旬宗派還是福音派中皆深受尊敬的領袖，當他一說話，不同宗派的領袖皆傾聽，不只因他說話鏗鏘有勁，更因他話裏蘊藏之寶貴價值。
此外，麥當勞牧師引用了美國已故的著名政治家愛德華‧甘迺迪在其兄長葬禮中的致辭，來提醒我們：「世人總是憑眼見事物的本相，並問為什麼？我只憑我所不見的來想望，並問為何不可？」我們必須敢夢敢想，並竭力實現所夢所想。
他又分享了一次在溫哥華不列顛哥倫比亞省的高樓大廈的奇遇。他搭乘大廈的升降機準備上最高樓層，那時升降機內只有他一人。當升降機停在二樓，迎面走進了一名不太起眼的女子，然而那女子身上卻散發著一陣他從未聞過、無與倫比的香味。這股香氣充滿升降機整個空間，即使那女子中途走出了升降機，升降機不斷攀升，但裏頭那陣芬芳卻持久不散。麥當勞牧師以此勉勵我們，不管五旬節聖潔會走到世界哪一個角落，但願我們無時無刻也散發著基督那無與倫比的香氣。
德亞瑟主理主教則以「擁抱聖靈所賜的豐盛」為題，分享了一場美好的訊息，我不在此細述當中的內容了，皆因我必須早點休息，準備明天飛往中國北京的旅程。
我鼓勵大家到國際五旬節聖潔會的網站（www.iphc.org）去收聽這場震撼的證道，領略聖靈所賜的豐盛。德亞瑟主教亦鼓勵所有牧者於未來的聖靈降臨節主日，分享聖靈臨在所帶來的應許與能力。
之後，德亞瑟主教以一款印有永光堂外觀的瓷碟作為紀念品，頒發予數位全球大會的籌委領袖，更頒發一隻金色特別版給五旬節聖潔會的香港總監督伍山河牧師，這是德亞瑟主教一直願望要製成的最好的禮物，我們同向伍山河牧師致敬。而我也看到永光堂的會眾是多麼愛戴及尊敬這位牧者。
最後，我們有聖餐環節，聖餐杯內藏著餅，由牧者把聖餐分發到會眾手中，過程有效率、迅速及順暢，實在值得我們學習。
中國人，真精彩！
下一屆全球大會將於2019年舉行，屆時智利再見！
The Closing Celebration Worship Service for the 5th Global Assembly in Hong Kong was Glorious!
God saved the best for the last evening worship service at the Wing Kwong Pentecostal Holiness Church in Hong Kong.
The Wing Kwong Church was packed with joyful and excited people who were ready for worship. I observed the Chinese people both young and old entering into worship with enthusiasm and an expectation of experiencing the presence of God.
The great choir of men and women was magnificent. The ladies were dressed in red dresses, and the men were dressed in black trousers and vests with white shirts. A gifted and talented worship team led by Jennifer Kwok got us all involved in singing praises to Jesus. Jennifer has the voice, the enthusiasm, and spirit to engage a congregation meaningful and joyful worship in singing.
There were four adorable Chinese children, two boys and two girls that had been trained to sing and their movements were choreographed to perfection. They sang with all their hearts and inspired us to do likewise.
Gordon McDonald, the Bishop and General Superintendent of the Pentecostal Holiness Church of Canada was at his best. I call Gordon “the Dan Betzer of the IPHC.” Dan Betzer used to be the radio preacher for the Assemblies of God national radio broadcast. If you close your eyes when Gordon McDonald speaks you might think it is the voice of Dan Betzer.
He gave a great tribute to Bishop Doug Beacham. He said he is a Pentecostal leader who is respected by leaders of other evangelical and Pentecostal denominations. He said that when Doug speaks leaders of these denominations listen for he not only has the voice to be heard, but has something of value to say.
Gordon reminded us of the speech by Ted Kennedy at the funeral service for his brother, Robert or Bobby Kennedy. Here is the quote:
“Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.” We need to dream of what can be, and work to make it come true.
He told about being on an elevator in a tall building in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was in the elevator by himself going to one of the top floors on business. The elevator stopped on the second floor and a not-so impressive woman got on the elevator, but had on the most wonderful smelling perfume he had every smelled. What an aroma it was. It filled the elevator. She got off, but the aroma lingered as the elevator climber higher and higher. He suggested that wherever Pentecostals go in the world they should leave an aroma of Jesus wherever they are.
Bishop Doug Beacham preached on “Embracing the Fullness of Pentecost.” I will not try to describe it here early this morning. I need to get to bed because I need sleep and rest as we will be flying on Saturday to Beijing, China.
I would like to encourage you to go to the IPHC website: www.iphc.org to see and hear this powerful message on the fullness of Pentecost. Bishop Beacham is encouraging all IPHC pastors to preach a message on the promise and power of Pentecost on Pentecost Sunday that is coming up in a few weeks.
Bishop Beacham gave commemorative plates with the photo of the Wing Kwong Church to several leaders involved in the planning of this global assembly. He gave a goal plated one to Donaan Ng. It was his dream and desire to make this one the best ever. We honor Donavan Ng. I observed that the Chinese people in the Wing Kwong love and respect their leader.
We had communion. They must have had 300 trays of communion cups with waffers inserted. They had their elders, a whole host of them, to serve the entire congregation. It was fast, efficient, even copacetic. We have a lot to learn from them.
The Chinese people are wonderful people.
The next Global Assembly will be in Chili in 2019.
