The Rise of Chinese Missionaries

This blog post is the first of a series that will discuss the rise of the Chinese mission movement, particularly through the lens of university graduates. Today’s post will consider the historical background of this movement.

為天國培育人才

近年來,中國基督教領袖開始將宣教使命擴展至中國境外。其中一位來自中國的基督教教育工作者(化名為L),便從帶領中國一間大城市的家庭教會,轉而投身在東南亞協助創辦一所基督教學校和信仰群體。有別於傳統的植堂模式,L認為教育是培育下一代基督教領袖、塑造他們生命的重要途徑。在這篇訪談中,他分享自己的事奉歷程、所面對的挑戰,以及他對基督教教育作為能世代傳承屬靈產業的根基的願景。 以家庭門徒訓練為根基的事工 L的服事始於2012年,他和妻子在自家公寓裡建立了一間家庭教會。與此同時,他們也經營一家專注於婚姻與親職教育的小型企業,運用聖經原則來幫助家庭。他們獨特的福音模式——以家庭生活為信仰核心——使教會迅速成長。到了2016年,教會群體已從最初的10人成長至150多人,其中許多人是透過親職教育小組認識基督的。 L和妻子深知教育對於靈命塑造的重要性,因此開始構想將使命拓展至中國境外。他們的信念有兩個層面:(1)中國基督徒應當積極參與普世宣教;(2)基督教教育能成為家庭認識信仰的重要橋梁。 東南亞:基督教教育的新前線 隨著中國對宗教活動的政策日益收緊,L開始尋找一個能讓「以信仰為根基」的教育蓬勃發展的地方。鄰近中國的一個東南亞國家,因以下幾個原因成為頗具潛力的選擇: 建立以天國為導向的學校 原本預計開辦一所小型幼兒園的計畫,如今發展成一個蓬勃成長的教育社區,服務當地學生與來自中國的學生。這所學校提供以基督為中心的學習環境,不僅重視學科知識的傳授,也強調靈命塑造、品格培育,以及天國思維。 L解釋道:「教育不只是學習各種學科,更是門徒訓練。孩子越早接觸聖經真理,信仰的根基就能扎得越深。」他們的願景是培養出一代年輕的信徒,使他們具備影響社會的能力——無論他們未來是留在寄居的國家,還是返回中國。 L觀察到,許多來自基督徒家庭的學生,尤其是牧者與宣教士的子女,內心都承受著不為人知的屬靈重擔。他指出:「他們往往很熟悉聖經,卻很難真正將信仰化為自己生命的一部分。有些孩子從小就在父母的事奉光環下成長。」因此,這所學校特別重視幫助學生與基督建立真實且個人的關係,而不只是承襲上一代的宗教傳統。 雙重使命:服事當地社群,裝備普世宣教 對L而言,基督教教育肩負著雙重使命: L認為,能夠承擔這樣的雙重使命,是一份意義深遠的恩典特權。他說:「上帝將我們放在兩個世界的交會點上。我們正在培育能夠影響這兩個世界的領袖。」 宣教路上的挑戰 儘管這所學校享有相對自由的發展空間,仍然面臨一些挑戰:
