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：

A young boy is holding a candle and looking at the camera. Hearing the incredible stories from both the children and their parents, I feel I understand why the Chinese church is once again facing severe oppression… This implicit self-exodus happening in China seems to embody God’s mercy and unfailing love. Without this persecution and oppression, we would undoubtedly lose our children forever; under the communist schemes, our children would be brainwashed and become poorly educated rebels against the truth.

A young boy in a blue and orange shirt with a blue backpack, carries some food on the way home from school. Ours is just one story among millions in China facing similar challenges. Due to the rigorous demands of the college entrance exams and pervasive competitive pressures in education, many Christian families here opt to send their children to unregistered Christian schools… [Our son], however, is among the few who remain within the Chinese educational system, compelled more by financial necessity than choice.

God’s Way Is Higher than Our Way

A young Chinese girl sits at a desk and works on a lesson at school. The suppression of Christian school education, combined with a law that restricts children under 18 from attending Sunday school, severely curtails the ability of the church to disciple its children. This is a strategic space to watch. May the church, and the education and discipleship of its youth, continue to grow. May God continue to open new doors.

Lighting the Future: A Candle in the Dark

It brings me great joy to be a part of this journey with these families. Through their incredible stories, I can clearly envision a bright future for mission work in China, facilitated by these resilient children. Despite being pushed out of their home country momentarily, God is lighting up the darkness by providing education based on a biblical worldview.

Homeschooling in China

After prayer and careful consideration, some parents decide to send their children to local schools. Others decide to homeschool. Our family tries to emphasize that both options are great, and the decision is ultimately up to the parents and where they believe God is leading them.
