要談論Oujé-Bougoumou (OJ) 短宣旅程，我認為以讚頌神作為分享焦點最為恰當，盼望華基大家庭與我一起經驗神的信實，祂在魁北克省北部的供應和美善。
在那裡，我們與原住民的孩童一起生活，瞭解Cree教會的事，一起祈禱，尋求上帝的醫治。臨行前，我求神每清早給我一首詩，祂就這樣向我說話。
第1天：榮耀歸於耶和華（詩29）。我們出發了！當我們愈來愈遠離熟悉的城市時，周圍的崇山峻嶺，碧藍的湖泊海岸早已在兩旁夾道歡迎，上帝創造的奇功實在令人讚歎！我們還遇上暴雨，當汽車攀爬到海拔1,200英尺高的OJ營地時，雨就停了！「你們要將榮耀、能力歸給耶和華… 要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他…耶和華必賜平安的福給他的百姓。」
第2天：我心渴想你（詩143）。「求你使我清晨得聽你慈愛之言…求你使我知道當行的路，因我的心仰望你。」今天是主日，神在太陽剛升起時甦醒我的靈，因著祂的慈愛，吸引不同民族聯合敬拜祂，向OJ的孩童分享福音，活出耶穌的愛。
Magic Guy 短宣工場歷險記
2000年當袁文禮（Samson）一家踏進了愛正堂，就愛上了這個華基大家庭。袁弟兄來自小教會，他非常欣賞愛正堂有大教會的風範，卻有小教會的人情味。教牧們十分懂得發掘弟兄姊妹的恩賜，常給與眾人不同的事奉機會；他們享受著信徒們在事奉上互相配搭的喜樂。時光飛逝，轉眼間已有15載，當初他們夫婦參加迦南團契，現在已升至樂年團，他們都興幸能與主內兄姊們在靈程路上一同成長。
袁文禮自七年前退休後，便開始經常參與短宣工作，與太太Gloria曾到不同的工場事奉，例如中國廣西的九天學校，巴拿馬貝諾諾美等短宣，特別是至於加拿大魁北克省的原住民自治區Ouje-Bougoumou（簡稱OJ）的福音工作，他在過去五年都有參與。
作為一位退休的日本餐廳大廚師，袁文禮的廚藝恩賜竟在短宣工場內成為眾人的祝福。在「三叔」（眾人對他的匿稱）的帶領下，常要準備50多人的三餐膳食，總是輕而易舉地完成，隊員便有體力和集中精神為福音工作努力，真是美好的配搭。
黃關寶瑩師母的短宣體驗
「耶穌出來，見有許多的人，就憐憫他們，因為他們如同羊沒有牧人一般，於是開口教訓他們許多道理。」（可 6:34）
看見世人的困苦──有憐憫的感動
在《馬可福音》中的記載，主耶穌「看見」就「憐憫」眾人，並即時展開教導、安慰及醫治等行動。當黃關寶瑩師母過去多年來隨著短宣隊伍去到不同的宣教工場時，也因「看見」而心有感動，並願意為他們獻上自己的力量，特別多次前往加拿大魁北克省的原住民自治區。那裡環境惡劣、罪案頻繁、男女關係開放、吸毒酗酒等問題週而復始，扼殺了一代又一代的年輕人。無論政府給予多少的撥款資助，總是無法改善這裡原居民的生活；只因為他們不明白，惟有全能神才可以真正改變一個人的生命。
當短宣隊員親自接觸那裡的孩童和年青人，瞭解到他們的處境，知道他們無論多麼頑劣，也會產生憐憫之心，正因為他們也「看見了」，便藉著每年的暑期聖經班，把快樂和福音傳給他們，讓他們認識耶穌基督的大能而得著生命的改變，不再因著無知而浪費一生。
TCCC Saddle Lake Short-term Mission Trip Reflection
From May 7-17, 2016, a 13-member team from TCCC visited the Saddle Lake Cree Reserve through SIM with the goal of participating in a ‘ministry of presence’ among the residents there. Saddle Lake Reserve is located about 180km NE of Edmonton. With an on-reserve population of approximately 6500 Saddle Lakers, this community has faced its fair share of heartache and death over the recent years. It was indeed God’s orchestration that our team was able to be there as a Christian presence on the reserve. Unlike other more structured, more task-oriented STM trips, this ministry of presence trip consisted of (1) living among the people, (2) learning about the Cree culture, (3) listening to their stories and (4) praying together with them for their needs.
(1) Living among the People
Our team was the first group that our missionary host arranged to stay in various homes of Cree Saddle Lake residents on the reserve. Other previous options included staying in a motel about 20km outside the reserve, and the youth centre or the healing centre on the reserve. By far, staying in people’s home was the best option considering the purpose of the trip. Our team was divided among 4 different homes. We were well received by the locals as they appreciated our willingness to be among them. By no means were the living conditions up to hotel style accommodations. My family stayed in the cold basement in a house. But at least there weren’t any pets and animals crawling over us at night – as was experienced by one of the other groups. As guests in their home, we needed to weary of not wasting water and electricity as we so often take for granted in our own homes.
