我是洛杉磯錦光教會MC職青區的鄺永燊。2007年，從香港隻身來到美國求學；2010年，來到教會認識主。我在加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）應用科學（數學）理學士（BS Math／Applied Science）畢業。2013年，再進加州克萊爾蒙特研究生大學（Claremont Graduate University）攻讀金融工程碩士（MS Financial Engineering）。
碩士畢業後，在一間汽油批發零售公司工作了數年。期間不住經歷神的恩典，特別在2016年成功取得為期三年的H1-B工作簽證。當時我因自身身份的緣故，對前路沒有信心，經常為將來擔憂，故總不敢為神付出更多，甚至因懼怕缺乏而停止什一奉獻······感恩的是，神從沒計較我的小信，反倒向我說話，「耶穌說：『我不是對你說過，你若信，就必看見神的榮耀嗎？』」（約十一40）這句話雖然扎進了我的心，但始終還是有點憂慮，未敢全然把前途及經濟交託。感謝主，神再向我說話：「可見，信心是與他的行為並行，而且信心因着行為才得成全。」（雅二22）因著神的肯定，我再次學習憑信作什一奉獻。感謝主，當我真心為神擺上的時候，神果真賜更多的福給我。就在2017年聖誕節，我在公司拿到了一千元的獎金，上面還以寫著「聖誕快樂，耶穌是主，主內愛你的弟兄！」不僅如此，老闆不但答應來年幫我申辦綠卡移民，更替我付了費。這真是神的工作，「耶和華所賜的福使人富足，並不加上憂慮。」（箴十22）
除了職場上的經歷，神也親自修補了我和家人的關係。我自小便不愛說話，什麼都往心裡塞，很少與人分享。還在香港讀書的時候，爸爸每天早出晚歸，所以一年裡說話的次數寥寥可數。來到美國後，彼此間的交流又更少了。但在一次小組聚會中，神藉著弟兄的分享和組長的勉勵，使我願意主動關心家人。感謝主，數個月前主動打電話關心爸爸時，談了超過20分鐘，不但讓我更了解爸爸的需要，也讓我感受到滿滿的父愛。從前的我們，談話從未超過5分鐘。從此，神教導我要好好珍惜和家人相處的時間，並將基督的愛帶進家裏。
能在洛杉磯錦光教會認識主，經歷主是有福的。神差了同路人如雲彩圍繞著我，在我軟弱想放棄的時候，弟兄姊妹的代禱和屬靈領袖的支持，都讓我再次有勇氣繼續為神去夢，成為卓越的生命。願將一切榮耀頌讚歸給我的神！
I am Johnson Kwong of the MC Youth Zone of LA Kam Kwong Church. In 2007, I came alone to the United States for studying. In 2010, I came to church and got to know God. I graduated in BS Math and Applied Science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In 2013, I studied for MS Financial Engineering at Claremont Graduate University in California.
After graduating from the master degree, I worked for at a gasoline wholesale and retail company for several years. During that period, I continuously experienced the grace of God. In particular, I successfully obtained a three—year H1-B work visa in 2016. At that time, because of my status, I had not much confidence in my future and often worried about it. So I never fully devoted myself to God. I even stopped tithing as I was fear of lacking. But I am thankful that God never blamed for my lack of faith. Instead, he encouraged me, ‘Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?’ (John 11:40; NIV). Although this scripture pricked my heart, I was still held back by worry and did not commit my future and finances completely to God. Praise the Lord for speaking to me further, ‘You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.’ (James 2:22; NIV). Because of God’s confirmation, I learnt to tithe by faith again. He has given me more blessings when I wholeheartedly devoted myself to Him. At Christmas 2017, I received a $1000 prize from my company, on which there was a message attached: ‘Merry Christmas! Jesus is the Lord. From your brother in Christ.’ Not only that, my boss promised to help me apply the Green card in the coming year, and he even paid for the application fee. This is truly the work of God. ‘The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.’ (Proverb 10:22; NIV).
In addition to the experience in my workplace, God has repaired my relationship with my family. I do not like to talk since my childhood. I everything to myself and rarely share with others. When I was still in Hong Kong, my father worked long hours every day, so we rarely had chance to talk to each other. After I had come to the United States, our interaction became even less. However, during a cell group meeting, through the sharing of the brothers and the encouragement by my cell leader, God helped me to take the initiative to care for my family. Praise the Lord, when I took the initiative to call my father a few months ago, we talked for more than 20 minutes. Not only did the talk let me know more of my father’s needs, but it also let me feel the depth of my father’s love. We had never talked for more than five minutes before. Since then, God has taught me to cherish the time with my family and to bring the love of Christ into my home.
It is a blessing to have known God and experienced His grace at LA Kam Kwong Church. God has sent spiritual companions to surround me like a cloud. When I was weak and about to give up, the prayers
by my brothers and sister, and the support by my spiritual leader gave me the courage to continue to dream for God and live an excellent life for Him. May all glory be to our God!
