【紐約短宣中心快訊】2014 年 7 月

 

Nystm1407 22014 布碌崙燃亮生命短宣週(6/7-6/14)在神的祝福及使用下順利完成,感謝

神!

近百位參與嘉年華會(6/7)及聯合佈道日(6/14)的信徒皆感受神賜下美好的天氣,讓今年參與嘉年華會的街坊不單比去年多了,還早早就進場參與各項遊戲及觀賞表演。五百張遊戲劵不足夠,要加印再加印派給在場索劵兒童,大會印備 150 張抽獎劵,在第一輪 2:30 抽獎前已派完了,可見參與人數之多及踴躍,使場面非常熱鬧。

在短宣週探訪中獎家庭及送上獎品,成功家訪 16 戶,在探家中暢談甚歡,言談間得知有些家庭剛從外州或國內移居這裏,短宣隊員格外關心他們的適應及需要,將主愛溫暖帶給他們。有兩戶家庭較難忘,因一家中了兩個獎,戶主太太感到很幸運外,也感到神很眷愛他們一家,並向丈夫表示拿了教會兩個獎不能不去教會了。六年前隣居小女孩向她四歲女兒講耶穌,這母親在旁聽了點點滴滴耶穌的事蹟,後來搬家無接觸信仰,但對耶穌留好印象,當與她分享耶穌,這太太表示很受神愛感動,並願意開聲一句一句跟著佈道員祈禱信主。另一戶是姑嫂兩家同中獎,因這點令他們感到幸運外,對教會甚受落,故分享福音後,他們皆願意帶著家人及孩子共十多人返教會。今年短宣週主要以福音家訪為主,神同工讓我們有機會向各家佈道,當中有四人願意歸信主,有六戶家庭答應主日來教會聚會。

聯合佈道日,安排弟兄姊妹作街頭佈道,也首次嘗試擺街站,眾教會以派汽球、玩遊戲、量血壓、唱歌及穿五色手繩吸引行人注目。結果,街站排了小人龍,信徒向輪候的家長、兒童佈道。弟兄姊妹很興奮地表示這形式接觸街坊,比作街頭佈道容易接觸人談信仰。佈道結束,信徒感到意猶未盡,還很想繼續佈道,故有建議佈道時間要加長加多,最好每三個月一次聯合佈道。感謝神讓信徒有美好的佈道經歷,挑旺他們佈道熱,能為主樂傳福音,敢於見證!願主在我們身上大得榮耀!!!

一生一愛的婚姻

作者:海倫

在中國文化中丹頂鶴具有吉祥、忠貞、長壽的寓意。一雙一對的丹頂鶴對愛情十分忠貞,正因為其忠貞痴情,每當伴侶去世後也難再找新伴侶。因此常被稱為一生一愛的丹頂鶴的美譽。動物界中有如此忠貞的婚姻,真令人類羨慕。


相反人類婚姻觀可謂百花齊放,無論是一夜情、同居、結婚、離婚、再婚、單親等各式各樣都有。中國改革開放後,雖然經濟有高速增長,同時間國家的離婚數字更是名列世界之前茅,傳統中國人白頭偕老的觀念可謂不再。為何兩情相悅,會弄至婚姻破裂,不能修補呢?誠然,離婚背後各有不同的故事,但追查根源乃是在合一問題。

如聖經所說:「既然如此,夫妻不再是兩個人,乃是一體的了;所以神配合的,人不可分開。」(太19:6) 二合一的婚姻生活,好像二合一的產品一樣,內含不同的物質,各有功效,藉此提升產品的質素。同樣,我們對婚姻也應有同樣的看見,夫婦若能彼此協調及補足,多讚賞而少批評,相信能邁向和諧的婚姻生活。

福音影藝坊聚會時間:每月第四週的星期四晚上 7:00 於紐約華人基督教保羅堂舉行,歡迎有心志以攝影事奉主的信徒參加。詳情請聯絡短宣中心 : (718)460-9308。
