A Curious Case of Uncultivated and Vulnerable Ground Then Samuel… named it Ebenezer; for he said, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” (1 Sam. 7:12, NRSV) Just a few months ago, in Perspective March 2019, I wrote that 2019 is to...
日期：2019年6月15日 – 6月18日 地点：彭亨州原住民村 团队人数：5人 一直以为短宣是将我们所拥有的去帮助需要的人，并借着活出基督徒的生命，将福音传给他们，但四天三夜的马来西亚原住民短宣的经历让我体验到短宣的意义远远不止于此，收获最多的其实是我自己。 刚开始担心原住民会比较害羞而对外来者敬而远之，万万没想到原住民村里小孩们是那么单纯有活力。从一踏进礼堂就开始被包围着，一起玩乐、跳舞、分享自己所拥有的东西。他们无所畏惧，在面对任何人、任何情况都勇往直前。而在城市里舒适成长的我们，有太多不必要的恐惧远在他们之上。这提醒了我很大的功课，就是来到上帝的面前要带着一颗小孩一样的信心，毫无保留的亲近神。 四天看似不长也不短，我们住宿的环境与我们平日生活大有不同——满满的虫子、未修好的窗户、卫生意识不高的环境，让我们能够克服平时舒适圈里的恐惧的同时，也让我们更多感恩身边所拥有的东西。我们能够有水源、有电源、有煤气等，这些一般生活看似平凡的小事物，也都需感恩上帝的供应，因为这一切并非理所当然。 在原住民村里服侍的牧师也非常不容易，村子里愿意领受福音的人数不多，牧师却还是常常进到四个不同的村子深处服侍，哪怕是一个灵魂、两个灵魂，他无怨无悔，只相信神的工作。如此谦卑地摆上，给了我极大的信心。 也很感恩我的团队，虽然我们人数不多，但能够在有限的能力之下完成神的使命，感谢神安排了如此奇妙的团队。这短宣让我看到了马来西亚原住民村的需要，也让我看见自己的需要。盼望以后有更多团队能够进到原住民村学习吧！ 马太福音18：2-4 耶稣便叫一个小孩子来，使他站在他们当中，说：“我实在告诉你们，你们若不回转，变成小孩子的样式，断不得进天国。所以，凡自己谦卑像这小孩子的，他在天国里就是最大的。凡为我的名接待一个像这小孩子的，就是接待我。 [vc_separator type='normal' position='center' color='#969496' thickness='' up='' down=''] Written by 罗毅良，南大土木工程系 第四年 for Follower Sep 2019 (Chinese Work Newsletter)...
