郭天佑、郭天諾 Teddy & Evan Kwok
感謝神，讓天佑、天諾可以接受洗禮，或許因為他們自出母胎就在基督徒群體的愛中成長，他們雀躍成為神家的一份子。
天佑、天諾自兩歲起就有機會參加兒童主日學，每週主日學老師忠心又活潑地教導他們聖經故事，今天他們7、8歲的年紀，認識了不少聖經知識，能夠表達基本信仰内容。
他們也受益於一些為兒童設計的屬靈資源——有聲聖經故事讓他們概覽聖經內容，每日靈修書讓他們看到信仰與生活的關係，聖經習作加深他們對聖經故事和概念的認識。過去一年他們漸漸願意向神禱告，他們會為家人、疫情、烏克蘭、洗禮祈禱，神在他們的意識中越來越真實。
兒子們，我們父母禱告的，「就是要你們的愛心在知識和各樣識見上增長，越來越多，使你們認定要緊的事；這樣，到了基督的日子，你們會成為純潔、無可詬病的人， 並且靠着耶穌基督，結滿公義的果子，最終使神得榮耀，得頌讚。」（腓1:9-11新漢語）
Praise our Lord for Teddy and Evan’s baptism. Perhaps because Teddy and Evan have been nurtured in faithful and loving Christian communities since birth, they are excited to become members of God’s household.
Teddy and Evan have been blessed to attend Sunday school since preschool age. They have had Sunday school teachers teaching them Bible stories faithfully and creatively every week. Now at the age of 8 and 7, they have a reservoir of Biblical knowledge and are able to articulate basic faith concepts.
They are also blessed to have Christian resources that are thoughtfully designed for their young age. Audio Bible stories have helped to see the whole Bible from a bird’s eye view. A children devotion book has helped them connect God and faith with everyday life. Bible quiz exercises have helped them grasp Bible stories and concepts. Over the last year, they get more comfortable praying to God. They would pray for family members, COVID-19, Ukraine, and their own baptisms. God is becoming a Reality in their conscious.
Our prayer for our sons is “that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” (Phil. 1:9-11)
