9. Manna issue 88 - The Power of Zealous Prayers in the African Ministry (Part 2) 非洲宣道迫切禱告的能力
Editor’s note: 
For some believers, volunteering for pioneering missionary trips to overseas territories 
requires a level of spiritual cultivation and servitude not reached by many
—this seems like a task for the ordained ministers and most gifted workers of the church. 
However, if we are committed to spreading the truth throughout the world, 
we must correct this misconception so that more will rise up to labor in these faraway fields.

8. Manna issue 88 - The Lord Delivers His Servants 神拯救僕人
Editor’s note: 
When the apostle Paul implored God to remove the thorn from his flesh, 
God replied “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” 
(2 Cor 12:9). 
The Lord does not promise that our service to Him would be without suffering and difficulties, 
but He does promise to be with us
—that, if we rely on Him, 
He will give us help and grace in our time of need. 
Servants of God who pray for healing may not receive a miraculous, on-the-spot healing. 
But, without fail, God’s grace is sufficient, and He strengthens faith. 
Here are the testimonies of two ordained workers who have experienced such amazing grace from God.

6. Manna issue 88 - Parables of the Heavenly Kingdom (Part 3) 天國寓言(第三部)
Editor’s note: 
The seven parables in Matthew 13 have an important significance: 
they enable men to find the true church through knowledge of the kingdom of God. 
In the first parable, the parable of the sower, 
seeds are widely sown but only those 
that fall on good soil will become deeply rooted, grow, flourish and bear fruit. 
Everyone has an equal chance to find the heavenly kingdom. 
However, only a truly receptive heart will understand the gospel, 
come to the true church and continually walk in God’s word. 
In the second parable, the parable of the tares, tares are sown among the good seed. 
Although troublesome, the tares will ultimately be weeded out and destroyed. 
The devil attempts to disrupt the true church through false brethren. 
This is a trial of faith. 
True believers should not lose heart but trust God to eradicate these sons of the wicked one.
