The premiere of the worldwide evangelistic rally titled "Peace! Security?" was virtually held by Kua Global on July 31.
The online event was simultaneously broadcast on 12 platforms with 36 partners in four sessions.
Andrew Kou, senior pastor of Home of Christ Church in Taipei, gave a sermon in which he raised a question, "Peace is a blessing, but what is peace?"
"Winds and waves are always in our lives, and nobody lives smoothly all his life." Rev. Kou said, "But the greatest blessing in the storm is that God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble."
As refuge referred to shelter from the winds, waves, and suffering, the Taiwanese pastor also shared his life experience. "Under the difficult circumstances, many people say that they must die, but in the refuge of Jesus Christ, we are protected."
"Many people would say if God loves me, why did I encounter such a thing?" He continued, "It is because God loves and knows us that he pushes us into the wind and rain. But God promises us one thing, that in difficulties, he becomes our strength. He will not leave us in trouble or ignore us, but he will give us enough strength to face the wind and rain in which we grow. He doesn’t keep us in the hothouse forever. Knowing how much we can bear, he will not squander our lives by giving us a burden too great for us to bear. The difficulties we face will nourish our lives and become blessings."
"I'm almost 60 years old." Rev. Kou said, "Every time in my powerlessness, God reaches out with his hand to pull me up, as I could not get up by myself at all. I cannot face my own weakness, though I could solve some things and other people’s problems. God is our strength which will bring about change.”
No matter where or when you are, Jesus is always there to help you, he added.
"Come to Him," He said, "Know Jesus Christ and let Him be our Lord who gives us a new life, a powerful life, and a changing life in truth."
The next sermons will be held on the first three Saturdays of August.

2021年7月31日，由跨越布道团（KUA GLOBAL）举办的布道会“平安！无事？”全球网络首播。
此次布道会共有4场，36个合作伙伴，在12个平台同时直播。
在布道会上，寇绍恩（台湾基督之家主任牧师）分享信息，提出一个问题：“平安就是福。但是什么是平安？”
“人生本来就是有风有浪，没有人一辈子无风无浪。”寇绍恩牧师说：“但是在风浪中最大的祝福神是我们的避难所，是我们的力量，是我们在患难中随时的帮助。”
避难所是指可以躲避外面的风浪和苦难。寇牧师也分享了自己的人生经验。虽然他也经历了很多的人生风浪，但是在独一的真神耶稣基督里面他经历了一件事情：无论在怎样的环境里面，很多人都说非死不可，但是在耶稣基督这个避难所里面是被保护的。
“很多人会说，如果上帝爱我，为什么让我碰到这样的事？”寇牧师继续分享说：“正是因为上帝爱你，祂知道我们，祂把我们推到风雨里面去。但是祂答应我们一件事，在风雨当中，祂成为你的力量。祂不会把你丢在困难里不管你，祂是你的力量，祂会给你足够的力量让你面对风雨。祂知道你能够承担多少，祂不会永远把你放在温室里面，祂把你推出去面对风雨。因为在风雨当中我们的生命会成长。上帝知道我们能够承担多少，祂不会给你一个担子过于我们所能承担的，而把我们的生命给压烂掉。但是我们生命所面对的困难，会成为我们生命中的祝福和养分。”
“我快60岁了。”寇牧师回顾自己的人生说：“每一次在我的无能为力里面，从来不是我靠我自己挣扎着爬起来，我根本爬不起来。我很努力，我可以解决事情，可以解决别人的问题，但是我却无能为力面对自己的软弱。每一次都是上帝伸手把我拉起来，从我的无能为力中。上帝是我们的力量，这个力量会带来改变。”
寇牧师继续分享到，无论你在哪里，什么时间，耶稣始终是你随时的帮助。
“来到祂的面前，”寇牧师分享，这样我们就能够得到随时的帮助：“认识耶稣基督，让祂成为我的主，让祂给我一个全新的生命、有力量的生命、在真理里面会改变的生命。”
接下来布道会将在八月的前三个周六举办。
