【特稿】2013年福臨餐飲業佈道行動成果分享

 

二零一三年福臨餐飲業之『向餐飲業人士致敬』綜合福音晚會已於今年三月七日完滿結束,今期藉短宣路向大多市眾華人教會匯報各方有關資料,好讓我們一同感恩,一同互勉。

一. 一個長達七個月的佈道大行動
今回的「福臨餐飲業運動」之高潮,乃是四天晚上,合共十六場,分別以國粤語同時進行的福音綜合晚會;只是要筹備如此大型的佈道行動卻不可能短短四天便能辦到。筹備的行動分別如異象分享會(2012 年 10 月)、將領大會(2012 年 11 月), 誓師大會(2013 年 2 月 23 及 24 日) 等... 一步一步的朝向整個佈道行動進行。因這是關連於整個大多市所有華人教會,與及所有飲食行業,單是每次聯絡所有大多市華人教會便要花上一星期之時間,這樣的聯絡工作常要週而復始,把每階段該作的,按進度而完成。在歡呼收割之先,讓我們不禁想起聖經所說的,要流淚撒種(詩126:5-6),是要付出勞力,並持之而恆。

二. 一個人人都「要」償還,也該「當」償還的福音債
大多市的教會與眾信徒們皆群起嚮應,原因是當我們面對大多市眾多飲食業的同胞,按著他們每天如此辛勞地服侍我們,特別在週六與主日,當我們聚會完畢後,往教會鄰近,就是我們慣常光顧的餐館用饍,餐館內的老闆與員工都是我們所熟悉的。我們理當把主的福音傳給他們,這已是駁不倒的理。今回的福音關愛大行動,對我們每一個人來說,不是「阻力」,乃是「助力」!大會各教牧同工,與負責的肢體,已辛勞地為我們準備好一切,我們需要作的,就是向這些我們熟悉的餐館老闆員工發出邀請,並為他們多多禱告。

三. 一個聯合眾多福音機構,與眾多教會的關愛大行動
今回之行動如此浩大,這絕不能單靠某一個機構,或某一所大型教會便可辦成的。單以宣傳為例,分別有從事社區報紙 (如真理報及號角),與及電視福音節目製作 (如恩雨之聲) 的機構協助下,讓這個行動更廣為大眾所知。又例如日後的跟進工作,也有藉著現時八個可讓餐飲業人士方便聚會的福音團契或有這方面負擔的教會,他們分別在事前事後都付出不少勞力與心血。今回參加福音晚會總人數為 2777 人。如在綜合晚會之先的誓師大會所分享的,不管人多人少,我們都願忠誠為主奉獻自己在這餐飲佈道的工作上,恩主便把這令人掁奮的成果賜給我們。

四. 一個令人掁奮的結果
十七場的福音綜合晚會,合共 127 人決志信主!當中慕道的也為數不少。這是一個何等令人掁奮的結果,只是當得知此消息後,我們一點也不敢懈慢下來,每所大會借用的教會,與及領人赴會的信徒都趕緊作跟進與栽培工作。感謝神賜給我們如此掁奮的成果,讓這七個月以來,所累積的疲累仿似一掃而空,再次全心全力為主作戰。

五. 一個影響深遠的行動決策
踏進二十一世紀,教會由數十年前本為基層人士的信眾,從一代至一代,已躍進為今天中產階級人士。今天教會面對的挑戰之一,就是能否有著過往的熱誠向基層人士傳講福音。藉著今回的福音行動,也按著大多市教會在所身處的社區中,讓我們一起學習攜手在每一個社群裡播下福音的種子。深願今回不是這行動的終結,乃是一個有意義的行動之開始。

六. 一個面對困難重重的佈道行動
在這佈道大行動的期間,我們也遇著不少的困難。面對對內的困難,就是信徒如何看待「向基層人士傳揚福音」,態度可分為四種:

1)不認識,或未聽聞今回佈道大行動;

2) 缺乏異象;

3) 缺乏愛心;

4) 深度關愛。

從剛剛提出的四種情況,也許是我們今回行動的寫照,或是一個進程,這是需要我們一起堅毅地完成這重要的使命。

七. 一個有著明天的佈道行動
大多市擁有著全加拿大最多的華人人口,作餐飲及與飲食行業有關的華人人數約為十萬,其它基層人士也為數不少。他們已經成為多倫多華人人口主流,面對這千萬同胞的靈魂,我們怎可能說再沒有可為主作的工呢?感謝神!從北美東西南北的代表們,都異口同聲說,「今回在大多倫多所舉行的,已成為全球華人餐飲事工的一個模範。」

RestaurantShare靠主恩,我們要繼續勇往向前。
