那也是宣教 - 雅加达 That’s also mission – Jakarta

一般上,提到宣教,很多基督徒就会联想乡村、偏僻地区、森林、沙漠,等等。。。
可是大城市、繁华都市也需要福音啊!
每个人有不同的恩赐和呼召,还在求学时我以为我最终会成为婆罗洲森林里的一位宣教士,但至今上帝仿佛是带领我到比较先进的地方,如二月底刚到过的雅加达。。。

Normally when we mention “mission”, many Christians would conjure up in their minds villages, remote places, jungles, desert, etc…
But big cities and busy metropolitans do need the Gospel too!
Everyone has different giftings and callings, when I was still a student I used to think I would end up being a missionary in the jungle of Borneo… but it seems till now, God has been leading me to more developed places, like Jakarta which I have just been at the end of February…

 

我的宣教住宿很舒服。。。这样可以吗?
My accommodation for the mission was very comfortable… is that allowed?

 

从所住的22楼看下去,有点难相信自己就在印尼,因为这住宅区还蛮西式的。。。
Looking down from the 22nd Floor where I was staying, a bit hard to believe I was actually in Jakarta because the residential area here seems quite western…

 

一眼望去就是大海,风景撩人。。。
You can just see the vast sea from the window, breath-taking view…

在家里很舒适安详,但其实印尼很多地方挺拥挤脏乱的,包括雅加达的街道,不是批评,只是报告。。。
哦,后面两姐妹是这公寓的主人,也是我印尼的助理和翻译员。。。前面的是毅伟,是我这一次从古晋带来的助手。
It is very comfortable and serene at home, but actually many places in Indonesia are very congested and dirty, including the streets of Jakarta, not criticizing, just reporting…
Oh, the two sisters at the back are the apartment’s owners, they are also my assistants and translators in Indonesia… the guy in front is Yi Wei, the assistant I brought from Kuching this trip.

 

印尼贫富悬殊差距很大。。。这是私人住宅,很夸张吧?跟我无关,拍照罢了。。。
There is a wide gap between the rich and the poor in Indonesia… this is a private residence, very extravagant huh? Nothing to do with me, just taking picture…

 

这种另一类宣教,除了好住,也很好吃呢!
This type of different style of mission, apart from good living, there was also good eating!

 

每天都被佳肴美食逼迫。。。引诱太大!
Persecuted by great food and cuisine each day… great temptation!

 

他们说我很瘦,要我吃胖一点,哈哈。。。
They said I’m very thin, they wanted me to eat more…

 

所以我就乖乖的吃、吃、又吃。。。
So I obediently ate, ate and ate…

 

我来宣教的对象。。。
My targeted audience for the mission…

 

他们都很专心聆听。。。
They were very attentive…

 

我有很棒的翻译员,杨晓娟姐妹。。。
I had a very good interpreter, sister Julie Wahab…

最开心是看到人回应主的呼召来信靠他。。。
The happiest thing is to see people responding to the Lord’s call to trust in Him…

 

这两位小朋友也在布道会中接受主。。。
These two boys received the Lord at the meeting too…

 

这次能来雅加达宣教还要谢谢这对可爱的夫妇的邀请,Adjito 和 Irene…
That I could come to Jakarta for mission this time, I must also thank the lovely couple who invited me, Adjito and Irene…
