Recently, Pastor Andrew Kou or Kou Shaoen was admitted to the hospital for treatment of heart arrythmia. This news created concern in the hearts of Christians.
According to a release of the Taiwan Christian Daily on June 7, the senior pastor of Home of Christ Church in Taipei, Andrew Kou, felt uncomfortable while preaching on a Sunday in July. He went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor suggested that he be treated with a device that could measure his heartbeat to detect arrhythmia.
Pastor Kou was admitted to the intensive care unit, bringing concern and worry to the brothers and sisters. Preacher Lu Xuexin, the director of the spiritual department, spoke for Pastor Kou, saying that he hoped that the brothers and sisters would continue to pray for Pastor Kou, but there was no need to worry too much. Although Pastor Kou needed to be examined and then wait for a report from the doctors if he needed surgery it would only be minor.
He also mentioned that Pastor Kou was in good health, and he stays in touch with church staff through LINE.
Pastor Lu mentioned that Pastor Kou’s physical condition was important to the entire church. At first church members were worried because he was admitted to the intensive care unit, but then he was transferred to the general ward at around 2 pm on the 6th.
Pastor Kou's wife, Zhang Qiwen, expressed her gratitude for the concern of everyone. She mentioned that Pastor Kou was in good condition and was waiting for the doctor's assessment of whether he would need to have minor surgery to implant a defibrillator to control his irregular heartbeat.
On the morning of the 7th, Pastor Kou personally sent a message to the church staff, sharing his current situation and encouraging everyone. The full text of the message was as follows:
Brothers and sisters, peace in Lord. I have been admitted to the hospital for complete examination and treatment due to recent heart arrhythmia. I trust the hospital and believe in God. Please rest assured that the Lord’s grace is sufficient. Please do not come to visit and let me rest at ease. Your intercession is what I need most, thank you! I will be back in the church soon. Let’s each find our place and experience the powerful coming of the Kingdom of God together!
The Lord's grace is overflowing!

寇绍恩牧师因心律不整入院治疗，传讯勉励众人：主的恩典够用！
近日，寇绍恩牧师因“心脏不舒服而入院治疗”的一则消息，牵引了广大基督徒的心。
据台湾基督教今日报6月7日报道，台北基督之家的主任牧師寇绍恩曾在7月的主日讲道时便觉心脏不舒服，后去医院检查，医生建议他装上可测量心跳的贴片，能及时发现有心律不整的状况。
因寇牧师入住的是加护病房，使得众弟兄姐妹十分关切和担心。代理寇牧师职务的灵修部主任吕学昕传道表示，希望弟兄姊妹继续为寇牧师祷告，但也无需过度担心，虽然寇牧师目前在医院接受检查，需要等待详细报告决定是否要进行手术，但也只是“小手术”。
并提到寇牧师现下身体状况还算不错，会用LINE和教会同工进行事务沟通。
吕学昕传道提到，寇牧师的身体状况整个教会都很看重，虽一开始入住加护病房让弟兄姊妹担心，但6日下午2点左右寇牧师已经转入普通病房。
寇绍恩牧师的妻子张琪玟师母对外界的关心表达谢意，提到寇牧师目前状况还好，正在等待医生评估结果——是否需要进行心脏电烧手术。
7日上午，寇牧师亲自传讯息给教会同工，透露自己目前状况并勉励众人。讯息全文如下：
弟兄姊妹平安，绍恩近来心律不整，已进入医院接受完整的检查和治疗。我信任医院更相信神，请大家放心，主的恩典够用。请千万不要来探视，让我安心休养，您的代祷就是我最需要的，谢谢您！我很快就会出院回到JH，和大家一起—「就位」、「进入命定」、一起经历「神的国大有能力的临到」！
主恩满溢！
