Mission, is not a choice, but a must. Mission, is not one of the ministries, but the reason of all ministries. Mission, is not something we do when we have time, but is the purpose of our life on earth. Let us join Jesus and His missions!   宣教，不是一個選擇，而是一種必要； 宣教，不是一項事工，而是所有事工的背後原因； 宣教，不是一件我們有時間再來做的事，而是我們 在世上服事的目的。 讓我們一起來加入，主耶穌和    祂的事工 - 傳揚主的道！

To be a blessing for others 成為別人的祝福 Genesis 12:2-3 2 我必叫你成為大國。 我必賜福給你， 叫你的名為大； 你也要叫別人得福。 3 為你祝福的，我必賜福與他； 那咒詛你的，我必咒詛他。 地上的萬族都要因你得福。」 2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” To be a blessing for others 成為別人的祝福

The Great Commandments 大誡命 馬太Matthew 22:37-40 你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主─你的　神.這是誡命中的第一，且是最大的. 其次也相倣，就是要愛人如己。 這兩條誡命是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment.  The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.

John 約翰福音 1:14 道成了肉身，住在我們中間，充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過 他的榮光，正是父獨生子的榮光。 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Matthew 馬太 4:17-20 17 從那時候，耶穌就傳起道來，說:「天國近了，你們應當悔改！」18耶穌在加利利海邊行走，看見弟兄二人，就是那稱呼彼得的西門和他兄弟安得烈，在海裡撒網;他們本是打魚的. 19 耶穌對他們說：「來跟從我，我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣」 20 他們就立刻捨了網，跟從了他. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 18 Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

約翰John 12:32 我若從地上被舉起來，就要吸引萬人來歸我。And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself. (NASB)   提摩太前書 I Timothy 3:16 敬虔的奧祕真偉大啊，這是眾人所公認的，就是：“他在肉身顯現，在聖靈裡稱義，被天使看見；被傳於列國，被世人信服，被接到榮耀裡。” (新譯本) By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. (NASB)
