身为父母，我们会很想要把我们孩子的门徒培育交给教会去做， 因为觉得自己的属灵生命不够成熟或缺乏足够的知识来门训我们的孩子。 但是圣经给予父母们一个很明确的任务，就是要教导孩子们认识上帝是谁，以及上帝的话语。

As parents, it is tempting to outsource discipleship of our children to the church, thinking we are not spiritually mature or knowledgeable enough to disciple our children. But Scripture gives a clear mandate to parents to teach children about who God is and what He says.

当惠玉（Dinah）和我讨论有关家庭的门徒培育时，我们问道，单身的该怎样做？我们花时间与不同的单身朋友长谈和思考这个层面。以下是我们学到有关单身如何作门徒培育的一些方法。

In discussing discipleship at home, Dinah and I have asked the question, what about singles? We have had long conversations with single friends and pondered on this area. Here are several things we have learned so far on what discipleship can look like for singles.

最近，我读到一个关于婚姻的描述 –   一个婚礼不应该像是买一辆豪华名贵的法拉利跑车，马力十足，而我们需要不断地付很高的维修费来保养。反而，婚姻像是买了一套需要自己组装的汽车零件。它需要夫妻用一生的时间一起建造。在这过程，我们会把零件放错地方和做错。但最终，当我们靠着神的恩典，我们会为这个旅程共创既美丽又有意义的人生。

Recently, I read this illustration of marriage: A wedding is unlike buying a Ferrari – gorgeous, expensive and plenty of engine power that we are to maintain and keep up to standard forever. Instead, marriage is like buying a build-your-own-vehicle kit. It will take a lifetime to build together. We will put things in the wrong places and make mistakes. But eventually, as we depend on God’s grace, we will create something with beauty and purpose for the journey together.

靠着上帝的恩典，我有荣幸拥有一家自己的公司，在越南、马来西亚和新加坡都设有办事处，共有73位员工。

By God’s grace, I have the privilege of owning a business with offices in Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, employing 73 people.

I see myself as having been given stewardship over these circles of influence and seek to develop a corporate culture based on biblical principles and values. Colleagues are to be treated as family; my wife, Lina, and I are the parents to ensure their development and welfare.

当在分享有关门徒培育时，我曾经使用“微型小组”一词，有些人希望我能做进一步的解说。

I have used the term Micro Groups when discussing disciple making and several have asked if I can elaborate.

We start with the biblical basis – Jesus had twelve disciples, not because it is the ideal ratio for making disciples. Rather, some scholars believe that He was making a statement about the twelve tribes and a new Israel. The number twelve also represents government in biblical numerology.
