布碌崙「燃亮生命本地短宣周」
陳喜恩牧師。
始自 2006/7/31-8/5,布碌崙區五間教會聯合舉辦福音遍傳,當時有30多位弟兄姊妹參加,不同教會的肢體能夠一同受訓,一同佈道,彼此激勵為主作見證,他們感到十分難得!今年是「燃亮生命」進入十周年,合辦教會增至九間,感謝神在這十年中,讓教會牧者同心舉辦社區的佈道,推動信徒履行大使命。願「十周年」標誌著過去神如何使用眾教會同心合一的佈道精神,推動我們要再接再勵,在華人人口不斷增長的布碌崙社區,繼續積極為主作見證,讓僑胞得聞純正的福音,得著救恩!
「如何能重燃傳福音的火?只有一個方法,就是靠著「基督的愛」(林後五14)。保羅就是被這愛激勵,願意為傳揚基督救贖的福音擺上他的生命。基督在十字架上所顯明的愛也在你身上彰顯嗎?若你真的感受到耶穌基督為你付上了生命,你又願意為他付上甚麼代價呢?其實,真正恆久傳福音的推動力,.....,乃是從基督的愛而來。傳福音沒有甚麼利誘,只有全然感恩。因基督的愛激勵,因感謝的心堅持。

「耶穌愛華埠」英文組分享
Newstein Chang
Meeting me many years ago, you probably wouldn't see a Christian burdened with sharing the gospel. Though I could admit that Jesus called all His children to make disciples of all nations, the reality of the
Great Commission was not seared in my heart — I felt unprepared, defenseless, and deathly scared, the introvert I was.
You see, I am a very shy guy, and one that is easily intimidated and keeps to himself. It's really out of my character to go out of my comfort zone and reach out to friends, family, and strangers sharing a message that could offend and sever relationships.
Early in my life, at the beginning of high school, I came to Jesus Loves Chinatown. Guided by the Lord, this ministry led by Pastor Andrew Rappaport effectively displayed the importance of sharing the gospel and prepared us with the right mindset. Through the messages, the Lord used them to convict me, and through many years of training increased the burden of sharing the life of Christ with the unbelievers. The ministry really dealt with me at a personal level, where I could ask any questions, and the leaders would equip me with the preparation in being gospel-bearers. Believe me, God didn't transform me overnight, but this ministry allowed me to be exposed to what a true life of a Christian should be like: one that is in tune with God's desire of sharing Christ with others. Through this encounter, the Lord shaped me and molded me, and used the workers at Jesus Loves Chinatown to help fulfill the Great Commission.
I am so thankful that God does not require me to serve by my strength, but that He is always with those who faithfully and humbly minister the Word to others. Though I could share to you my testimony and how JLC helped me tremendously, and persuade to you the importance of gospelsharing, that is not what can change a heart. Only the Lord can change your heart. For me, He used Jesus Loves Chinatown and Jersey Fire Outreach; but ultimately, what the Lord seeks is a humble and moldable heart that can be used to serve His will. If you are willing, He will certainly use you to "go therefore and make disciples of all the nations! And surely, He is with us, always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)
