教會如何配合泰北宣教

　　40位弟兄姐妹帶著興奮和期待的心情，參加差傳講座「教會如何配合泰北宣教」。在兩小時的分享中，我們與宣教士一起走進一條恩典之路，見證大能的神在微小的姊妹身上，締做許多神蹟奇事。

　　一位身體軟弱的人，竟然在落後的泰國農村生活了三十多年。馬小芸宣教士與夫婿何以嵩牧師努力耕耘，先在泰緬邊界華人社區工作，然後到泰寮邊界服侍華人難民及少數民族；再進入泰人村向本地泰國人還福音債，建立基督教昌孔教育中心。教育工作由小學發展到初中，又建立孤兒院。她由沒有自己的兒女，到現在一家八口；由兩父婦的團隊，到兩年後將有事工繼任人；由華人福音工作到以泰國人為主的工作，那是領受神恩典的活見證！對一個宣教初哥而言，我以前只知道神國度要擴展，如今在馬宣教士身上，看見神工作的主權，祂要作成的事，必要成全！能否目睹神的榮耀，全在乎我們能否擺上時間、金錢、禱告、才幹、信心和生命。

　　粵語差傳之夜聚會前半小時，彭靄霞傳道帶領會眾在大堂有祈禱時間。禱告是何等重要，因為我們正與屬靈的惡魔爭戰：大會講員鄭孝貴牧師無法前來；陳世欽牧師突然發病，剛住院做手術；高雲漢牧師仍在醫院休養。弟兄姊妹的心情都有點沉重，惟有禱告倚靠神才能復興信心。

　　會眾用讚美詩歌揭開序幕，激勵的歌曲令人精神為之一震，高唱為普世差傳、為萬民得著福音而燃燒，求聖靈的幫助與同在。

　　羅川傳道是國際福音協傳會第一位中國事工代表，他展示l0/40 之窗宣教禾場有莫大需要，徵求委身的傳道人在南亞地區如印度、尼泊爾、印尼等地方打開福音之門，用主愛服待困苦流離的人，在那裡建立教會，成立神學院和孤兒院；使福音成為多人祝福。隨後黃讚舜傳道為羅傳道按手禱告。

    I was really looking forward to YYAT this year. Since I was part of the YYAT committee; I had witnessed the whole idea set in motion from beginning to end.  We have been planning and praying for the event for over half a year, so I was excited to truly experience the Holy Spirit during the event.  This year’s topic – Make A Difference— is applicable to every Christian.  Each one of us is capable of influencing the world around us, at school, at work or at home.  Sometimes we forget to put God first, or we are too scared that we will make a fool out of ourselves.  I was reminded once again, that I should make a difference for Jesus. There are so many people in today’s world that are willing to make a difference for what they believe in, I can do it too!

    During the first night of YYAT, we were challenged to think forward to our own funeral.  What do I want to be written on my tombstone?  And is that how I am living out my life right now?  The second night of YYAT further challenged us to think of ways we can make a difference in our current life situation.  We should no longer life in a cocoon, feeling so comfortable in Canada, when the some areas of the world are going through extreme poverty and horrible living conditions.  As Pastor Jonathan told us, Jesus didn’t call us to give money for missionaries; he called us to give our own lives for Him.  Are we truly living for Jesus?
