Esta segunda parte de mi testimonio la he titulado: RECORTES DE UN MISIONERO; compartiré algunas anécdotas de diez años de misionero, he seleccionado las que considero relevantes y creo que dejarán una enseñanza y un buen sabor de boca para los que quieren servir en la viña de Jesucristo; mi intensión primordial es motivar y alentarlos a trabajar sin interés, sino de corazón y siempre en comunión con él para estar fortalecidos a soportar todo lo que implica ser misionero; en el camino se encuentran muchas cosas inesperadas, cosas que no se enseñan en los Institutos, ni atrás de los púlpitos.Como misionero se llega en lugares inhóspitos e insalubres, muchas veces habrá comida para comprar, otras veces no tendrán dinero para hacerlo, y otras veces no podrán porque no hay comida; también hubo ocasiones en que estaba satisfecho y días en que pasé hambre; hubo lugares donde dormí cómodo y otras veces en campo abierto, a orillas de ríos, sobre piedras y debajo de árboles.No lo digo porque tenga escasez, pues he aprendido a contentarme, cualquiera que sea mi situación; sé vivir humildemente, y sé tener abundancia; en todo y por todo estoy enseñado, así para estar saciado o para tener hambre, así para tener abundancia como para padecer necesidad. Filipenses 4:11-12Fueron múltiples las vivencias que tuve durante los años como misionero, las vicisitudes, las emociones y las experiencias que adquirí en diferentes Estados de la República de México como presidente del ministerio donde pertenecí por años, pero por circunstancias que Dios sabe me separé a fines de los noventa para trabajar independiente, consideré que era el tiempo para desarrollar el trabajo que me corresponde para servir a Dios sin estar sujeto al hombre; nunca coincidí con el que fue mi líder porque el llamado de él y el mío son diferentes, cada quién tiene su propia visión para desempeñar nuestro llamado en la viña del Señor Jesucristo.Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo; pero cada uno tiene su propio don de Dios, uno a la verdad de un modo, y otro de otro. I Corintios 7:7Como miembros del cuerpo de Jesucristo no todos tenemos la misma función, en la viña de Dios hay un vasto campo de ministerios, pero casi por lo regular siempre se desea el de pastor, porque se cree que es fácil, en las cosas de Dios debe ser también por llamamiento y no por elección o por imposición; ser pastor se requiere un vasto conocimiento y mucho amor para las almas y para la obra de Dios.La codicia de ciertos ministros aprovecha Satanás para confundir a los que piensan que son llamados para ejercer determinado trabajo en la viña de Dios; muchos creen que son llamados para cierto ministerio, pero con el paso de los años en lugar de mejorar su trabajo ministerial terminan claudicando porque no están en el lugar que los quiere Dios.¿Tan insensatos sois? Habiendo comenzado por el Espíritu, ¿ahora vais a acabar por la carne? Gálatas 3:3Muchos empiezan ejerciendo su ministerio debidamente con una visión espiritual definida, pero al verse exitosos terminan haciendo las cosas conforme el ego, olvidan que por la gracia de Dios llegaron en la cima, este desvanecimiento lo aprovecha Satanás para desviarlos completamente de su visión, empiezan hacer las cosas fuera de la voluntad de Dios, es aquí donde empieza la desgracia de cualquier ministro, porque bajaron la mira de las cosas de arriba para ponerla en las cosas terrenales; olvidan que fueron llamados para servir a un Dios Todopoderoso y no para llenarse de orgullo por la forma que Dios los usa para predicar o enseñar; en las cosas de Dios se necesita tener mucho cuidado para no envanecer nuestro ministerio haciendo las cosas según el ego, no se debe olvidar que nadie puede burlarse de Dios, desempeñando su ministerio como cualquier trabajo terrenal o un como negocio empresarial.

This book summarizes this journey for one young man on his quest for self-sufficiency. Every generation faces this challenge.

Not realizing they have more in common than they think, Coleen, on her own, tries to find her independence and purpose in her new home of Brooklyn.

本書是石清先生傳奇人生的詳實記錄。低層出身的農家子弟，組建反對黨，追求中國的民主化。一文不名的政治犯，美麗的愛情從天而降。穿越國境，偷渡緬甸，流亡泰國，山盡山窮之際往往峰迴路轉。落地加拿大，求學，工作，經商，從政當選地方議員。太多不可思議 ， 見證奇異恩典。引言我叫石清，上世紀六十年代出生于中國蘇北農村的最底層，一路走來經歷了讓我自己也難以置信的傳奇人生。這樣說幷不是要自矜誇耀，而是幾十年間不可計數的奇迹時刻仿佛大有深意，令我感到不可獨秘，應當與更多的人分享。早年在自己的祖國流浪奔波及至身陷囹圄，後來偷渡緬甸，流亡泰國，最終到加拿大落地生根，歷經求學、擔任商界高管、經營生意、當選地方議員等。回首平生，其間有太多事情令人感到不可思議。雖然學習成績也曾經在重點中學名列前茅，自以爲不無聰明才智，但我自己的籌劃往往一事無成，而每一次籌劃失敗陷入絕境，都仿佛有一股奇異的力量給予無形的助掖，其結果往往遠超我的預期和能力所及。--在中國農村，我沒有完成高中學業，當時甚至沒有正規英語老師，但我的英語流利到可以在泰國的聯合國難民署做翻譯。--當我一文不名無家可歸，一位小我九歲的白領美女堅决要成爲我的伴侶。--我偷渡緬甸，一路坎坷屢陷困窘，自己的計劃事事不成，然而總是柳暗花明絕處逢生，結果大出所料。--我在泰國申請聯合國難民，各方面條件都非常合格，仍然無法獲批，直到教會出手才化險爲夷。--到加拿大後，我憑自己的能力成爲工廠車間領班，却很快鎩羽而歸，然而，仿佛在一隻無形之手的安排下，進入大學讀書的機會接踵而至。--我憑自己的能力成爲了大酒店的財務總監和總經理，結果却不得不躲藏到鄉下；舉目無親之際，外甥女出人意料地來到身邊。--就在自我懷疑，深感一無所是之際，我却在一個完全是白人的生活環境中成爲了地方市政議員，參預了我一直夢寐以求的民主政治。--我和妻子對擁有孩子完全不抱希望的時候，一個兒子被送上了門，上帝讓我們的福杯滿溢。--弟弟一家走投無路，嘗試偷渡逃亡，但所有自己的方法花多少錢都無效，向上帝祈求之後，竟出奇順利地抵達加拿大，來到我的身邊。像這樣的種種經歷難以盡數，我配不上的這許多奇異恩典，讓我這個硬著頸項的罪人不得不對耶穌基督深信不疑。我願用自己的拙筆記叙這一切，回憶地上的苦難與雲隙天光交互的歷程，以爲信仰之光遍照世間的一份卑微見證。

"Dopo aver descritto, nel volume "Fidanzamento e Matrimonio", i primi tre anni da me trascorsi in banca (quando lavorai in Agenzia e all'Ufficio Merci), dedico interamente questa nuovo libro della mia autobiografia al Credito Italiano e agli anni che vi trascorsi fino alla trasformazione in UniCredit. Spero di averlo descritto in modo oggettivo, ma questo lo diranno i miei ex-colleghi. Naturalmente ognuno di noi è influenzato nelle sue valutazioni dalla propria esperienza personale. Io di esperienze ne ho vissute tante. Sono stato nella Sede di Milano, in Direzione Centrale e ho visitato tutte le Filiali periferiche. Ho lavorato all'Ufficio Fidi, all'Ufficio del Personale, al Servizio Ispezioni e al Servizio Tecnico. Mi sono specializzato in Security e sono diventato Responsabile delle Procedure di Sicurezza. Mentre rivestivo questa qualifica, ho inventato la cassaforte antirapina nota come Cashguardian, che il Credito Italiano brevettò. E intanto la banca cambiava pelle."

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this;)I do not have the habit of keeping tabs on the people who had a certain role in my life and, at some point, for any reason, exited it. Especially when it comes to romantic feelings.In my opinion, it is mostly best for everyone involved to move on. As quickly and painlessly as humanly possible. But this part is the most difficult one!I wish all of the romantic partners I had well and all the best that life could offer them!At times, I might wish for them to have learned some lessons. In the end, this is the best outcome anyway.Lessons are knowledge = the good power. If used with the best intent at heart, lessons can move mountains. I certainly am trying to learn mine, even though sometimes it does not look like I do. I keep trying again and again. That is all we can do! I guess........With love from me to you, the author: Anna Gollino
