Unexpected Harvest in Sunday Service

2020年12月20日是主日崇拜的日子，在辽宁大连丰收路礼拜堂第二场的聚会结束后，为主证道的姜绍权教师在台上呼召新人。按照以往正常的规律，第二场的礼拜聚会参加的人数本来就没有第一场多，加之来的一般都是已经受洗的主内弟兄姊妹，即使有新人接受呼召也是寥寥无几。

感谢上帝！这次主日意外的竟然有十七位弟兄姊妹，走到了台前，面向主十字架的圣坛，接受呼召，跟着姜绍权教师，打开自己的心门，向三一的上帝做了决志的祷告，在平安夜、圣诞节的前夕，荣幸的成为了主耶稣基督的信徒。此时，教堂里响起了诗班的歌声和众位弟兄姊妹的掌声，欢迎新人回家。教会向每位新人赠送了宝贵的礼品：圣经和《要道问答》。

一切都在我们的主耶稣基督的计划之中，就在这圣诞节的前夕，主拣选了这些弟兄姊妹，使他们成为主的羔羊。这“意外的收获”，那是圣灵所结出的果子，是牧者和弟兄们传福音的成果。

After a teacher called on newcomers to accept Jesus as their savior in a Sunday service, 17 people responded.

At the end of the second service held in the Fengshou Church in Liaoning Province on December 20, 17 non-Christians walked to the altar after Jiang Shaoquan issued a calling. 

As most of the worshippers are baptized believers and the number of attendees in the second worship service is not as much as the first one, it was a surprise that there were still converts,

At that time, the choir sang hymns and the believers applauded to welcome the newcomers, who later received the precious gifts of the Bible and a Gospel pamphlet.
