亲爱的订阅者：
As the Hudson Taylor movie project picks up momentum, practical considerations threaten to frustrate our plan. Our CEO, Soo Loh, shares how these constraints enhance the film and our faith. Pray with us as we share the latest developments.
别具匠心的塑造

人心筹算自己的道路； 惟耶和华指引他的脚步。箴言 16:9
刚过去的预苦期，我默想马可福音，特别注意到1章38节：
耶稣对他们说：「我们可以往别处去，到邻近的乡村，我也好在那里传道，因为我是为这事出来的。」
Mark’s Gospel moves with urgency—events unfold quickly, often marked by the word “immediately”. Even with that fast pace, there is no haste but clarity. Jesus remained deeply anchored in His purpose. He made intentional choices—not responding to needs or opportunities, but discerning what aligned with His mission. Even with the limits of time, energy, and human life, He never lost sight of His calling.
今年我们的电影计划亦充满行动与抉择，我们领受的呼召是拍摄一部真挚感人的电影，阐述戴德生与玛利亚的故事。同时我们面对现实的限制，固定的资源，特定的时间点，继续界订切合的范围。
我们学习不把这些限制看为障碍，而视为塑造结果的力量。限制亦打开了一扇窗，让我们观看神的信实和供应，超越我们肉眼所能见。
所有富意义的事工都必须经过慎思明辨，电影计划也需判断孰先孰后，权衡取舍，以最终目标为导向。关键是我们如何忠于神所托付的使命。
在最近的片场考察中，制作团队想象如何真实地展示每一幕场景，让我们按制作的实际条件修饰剧本，配合拍摄场地、经费及后勤支持等作考虑。结果是一个结构更紧凑，情感弧度更深入的剧本。
我们正与一位有相同愿景的导演洽商，亦与当地的合作伙伴拟订制作计划——安排财务预算及时间表、建立制作团队、及申请所需批核。每一步都牵涉连串抉择，亦需要持续的智慧和明辨。
在这一切之中，我们理解到限制能带来更深的意义。限制使我们有更清晰的愿景，助我们明确优先，驱使我们不倚赖丰富资源，而是仰赖神的信实供应。不让限制叫我们分心，而让限制积极地塑造成果。
We hold onto the lesson from Mark 6, where Jesus fed the five thousand with five loaves and two fish. “They all ate and were satisfied” (Mark 6:42). What seemed insufficient became more than enough in His hands. Our prayer is that God would take what He has entrusted to us, however limited it may seem, and multiply it for His purposes.
感谢你们在这路上与我们并肩同行。
项目更新与祷告事项
We are deeply grateful for the production team. Over the past month, they have invested tremendous effort in bringing together many moving parts—developing a preliminary detailed schedule and budgeting framework for the project. As a team, we spent time reviewing these plans and learning from our producers, gaining a deeper appreciation for the thought, care, and discernment behind each decision.
This has also been a month of significant progress. We made some major business decisions. In addition, we have begun early conversations on going beyond the film—exploring ways to support the viewers in responding to God’s calling for their lives.
We give thanks for answered prayers and continue to pray for areas in progress:
- Praise God for the director selection process, which has been encouraging and marked by a clear sense of His guidance.
- Praise God for strengthening the production team through partnerships with local collaborators and a shared, thoughtful decision-making process.
- Protection & Health: Pray for God’s protection and sustaining grace over all team members, supporters, and their families.
- Unity & Team Formation: Pray for God’s leading in appointing the right director, cast, and crew. Ask for the building of a Christ-centered, multicultural team that reflects unity and shared purpose in the months ahead.
- Script Development: Pray for creativity to fine-tune the screenplay within the constraints of budget and filming environment. May God multiply what He entrusted to us, using these constraints to shape a film that is authentic and impactful, communicating His love and purpose clearly.
- Wisdom & Spiritual Growth: Pray for God’s wisdom and favor in every decision. May all who are involved—team members, supporters, and donors—grow in their relationship with Him through this journey.
