HISTORY 發展歷史
Evangelism in Continental Europe
began in 1979 when three young True
Jesus Church (TJC) members from
Taiwan went to Germany to study.
Chia-Ming Wu, Ching-Wen Tu and
Hong-Hsiung Ko initially observed
the Sabbath together in Stuttgart but
later moved to Heidelberg. This small
group grew as more TJC youths from
Taiwan went to further their studies in
Germany. Gradually, they were joined
by friends who came to know God
from attending their Bible studies and
Sabbath services.
真耶穌教會在歐洲大陸的福音始發展於1979年，當時有三位來自台灣的年輕信徒到了德國留學，
分別為吳嘉明弟兄、涂青文弟兄以及柯恆雄弟兄。
這三位留學生最初在斯圖加特一起守安息日，後來便搬到海德堡聚會。
隨著台灣青年越來越多人前往德國留學，原本三個人的聚會也有越來越多人的加入，
也陸陸續續有慕道者來參加他們的讀經班和安息日聚會。
In time, church activities spread
to more places in Germany, France,
Austria, and Switzerland. The first
spiritual convocation was held in
Heidelberg, Germany in 1980. A few
years later, other places of worship
also held spiritual convocations and
conducted water baptism. These
activities were always supported by
preachers and members from Taiwan.
隨著時間的推移，教會的活動漸漸三部到德國、法國、奧地利、瑞士等其他地方。
第一場的靈恩會在1980年於德國的海德堡舉行，
幾個禮拜後，其他的聚會點也紛紛在台灣信徒和傳道的協助下舉辦了靈恩會和洗禮。
In 1982, with the generous support
of the churches in Taiwan, the
believers in Heidelberg purchased an
apartment. This enabled them to have
Bible studies and Sabbath services
regularly. Three years later, Heidelberg
officially became a house of prayer
Through the guidance of God and believers’ supplication, more houses of prayer
have since been established in Salzburg, Hamburg, Paris, and Rhineland.
1982年透過台灣教會的慷慨資助，讓海德堡的信徒們購買了一間公寓，
讓他們有固定可以舉辦查經班和提供安息日聚會的地點，
並三年後，正式成立海德堡祈禱所。
透過神的帶領以及信徒們的幫助，至今也在薩爾茨堡、漢堡、巴黎和萊茵蘭設立了祈禱所。

CURRENT SITUATION 現況
Formation of European Coordination Center 歐陸聯絡中心的成立
Until 2014, the churches in Continental Europe—as is typical of pioneering
regions—were part of the International Assembly’s (IA) directed churches.
However, after the churches in the German-speaking countries as well as in
France had been firmly established, IA officially announced the setting up of the
European Coordination Center (ECC) in 2015.
直到2014年，在歐洲大陸的教會屬於開拓區域，是由國際聯總直接管理。
然而，在經過德語區教會以及法國教會的堅立，聯總正式於2015年宣布成立歐陸聯絡中心（ECC）。
Places that are officially part of the ECC are:
目前正式屬於歐陸聯絡中心的地區有：
‧ Germany: Hamburg and Rhineland (who have their own church buildings)
and Heidelberg (where a residential apartment functions as church premises).
‧德國：漢堡、萊茵(有自已會堂)、海德堡(住宅區公寓當成聚會點)。
‧ Austria: Salzburg (a shop has been purchased for use as service venue) and
Vienna (service point).
奧奧地利:薩爾茨堡(買了一間店當成聚會場所)、維也納（聚會點）。
‧ France: Paris (residential apartment).
‧法國：巴黎(住宅區公寓)。
Houses of prayers and places of worship in Continental Europe, which are under the care of the ECC.

Brethren at other Locations 其他地方的信徒
There are a number of brothers and sisters working at different places in
Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. These believers either conduct
their own family services or travel to attend services at places where there are
churches or houses of prayer. The current membership of ECC churches is 176.
在歐洲還有許多兄弟姐妹在德國、瑞士、荷蘭的各個不同地方工作。
這些信徒有時會自行舉行家庭聚會或是到，或者至教會或祈禱所參加聚會。
目前歐陸聯絡中心下的信徒數總共有176人。
In recent years brethren, primarily from Fuzhou, China, have been emigrating
to Spain, Italy, and Greece for work. By God’s grace, these brethren are now
able to have regular worship services. These new places of worship are under
the direct care of the International Assembly, but a German care team supports
them by traveling to Spain and Italy on a regular basis to help conduct Sabbath
services.
近年來，有許多來自中國福州的信徒們移民到西班牙、意大利、希臘工作，
並且靠著神的恩典，讓這些弟兄姊們能定期聚會。
這些新的聚會點都是直接國際聯總關懷，
另外德國的關懷團隊也會定期前往西班牙和義大利協助安息日聚會。
Current Activities 目前動態
In the past decades, the places of
worship under ECC underwent a
major transformation. Many places
have progressed from family services
conducted in members’ houses to
proper worship services in their own
church building. In the beginning,
worship services consisted of Bible
studies or listening to sermon tapes/
watching sermon videos; today, each
place has its own organizational
structure. There are church board
members, religious education
teachers, and members who take care
of the general affairs such as cooking.
在過去的幾十年當中，歐陸聯絡中心轄下的聚會點漸漸地在轉變，
許多原本只是在信徒家中家庭聚會的聚會點，至今已成長為能夠有自己正式的聚會會堂。
在過去剛開始聚會的時候，主要都是以查經聚會或是看錄影帶的方式進行。
時至今日，每個地方都越發茁壯，擁有自己的職務會、宗教教育老師，以及各項聖工服事的成員。
Sabbath Services: These are usually
held from Saturday morning until
late afternoon, including Religious
Education classes, prayer session, and
lunch. Many places of worship have
Bible studies on Friday evenings.
安息日聚會：安息日聚會通常是從週六上午進行到下午，
同時包括宗教教育課、禱告會以及午、晚餐。
很多地方也都在週五晚上進行查經聚會。
Spiritual Convocation (Local
Church): All ECC places of
worship regularly conduct spiritual
convocations. Each region holds its
spiritual convocation at a different
time during the year so that all the
believers are able to attend one to two
convocations every year and partake
the Holy Communion. Since some
members live a fair distance away
from the nearest place of worship,
spiritual convocations are held during
weekends or public holidays.
靈恩會（地方教會）：
所有歐陸聯絡中心轄下的教會都會定期舉辦靈恩會，
不同區域的教會會在不同時間舉辦靈恩會，
讓所有的信徒都能夠每年參加一到兩次靈恩會並領受聖餐。
由於一些信徒居住地區離教會很遠，靈恩會通常都會選擇在週末或是國定假期間舉辦。
Spiritual Convocation (Continental
Europe): Apart from these regional
spiritual convocations, there is a
spiritual convocation for the whole of
Continental Europe at every year end,
attended by members from countries
under ECC, as well as from Asia and
the United States. IA and UKGA send
preachers to assist in these spiritual
convocations.
靈恩會（歐洲大陸）：
除了上述地方的靈恩會外，歐陸聯絡中心在每年年底也會舉辦整個歐洲大陸的靈恩會，
由國際聯總和英總拆派傳道協助，並由來自歐陸各地教會、以及亞洲和美國的弟兄姊妹參加。
Special Convocations: These are
tailored to suit the needs of particular
groups of believers. For example,
there is an annual children’s spiritual
convocation, which Heidelberg
and Hamburg house of prayer take
turns to host annually. The aim of
this convocation is to allow children
from different churches to meet each
other more often and to deepen their
biblical knowledge.
特殊靈恩會：這些靈恩會都是為了滿足特定需求或目的而舉開。
例如每年舉開，由海德堡祈禱所和漢堡祈禱所輪流每年主辦學生靈恩會，
乃是希望讓來自不同教會的孩子去可以有頻繁的接觸，也加強對於聖經的認識。
Youth Fellowship Seminar: Since
2013, Heidelberg and Hamburg
have also been conducting youth
fellowship seminars. These have seen
a dramatic increase in the number of
participants every year. Apart from
lessons, activities are conducted to
enable the participants to get to know
each other better and to strengthen
their sense of belonging.
青年團契研討會：
自2013年起，海德堡祈禱所與漢堡祈禱所也一直舉辦青年團契研討會，
這些年來每年參加的人數都不斷地在增加。
研討會中除了課程以外，也安排許活動，讓學員有更多機會互相認識，以增強他們的歸屬感。
Special services: Whenever
preachers from the UK, USA or
Taiwan conduct pastoral visits, special
services are held. The purpose of
these services is to evangelize, to
strengthen the faith of the members
or to train church board members and
religious education teachers.
特別聚會：當英國、美國或台灣的傳道來巡牧時，
就會舉行特別聚會以藉機拓展福音，
或是加強信徒的信仰或是訓練教會職務會成員及宗教教育教員。
Literary ministry: The ECC invests
much time and energy into the creation
of church publications, such as gospel
pamphlets and material about our
church for distribution. In addition,
various teams are currently working
on a new hymn book in German and
the translation of Religious Education
materials.
文宣部：
歐陸聯絡中心投入大量的時間和精力創作教會出版物，如福音小冊和福音傳單。
除此之外，文宣部目前也正在編輯一本新的德文讚美詩，以及宗教教育教材的翻譯。
East Paris Prayer House 東巴黎祈禱所
In 2012, after the Paris church's
decision to offer employment
to an IA terminated preacher,
a few members started to
gather elsewhere for Sabbath
worship. Since 2014, preachers
from abroad have assisted
in conducting two spiritual
convocations and one seminar
annually.
在2012年巴黎教會決定續任被聯總開除的傳道後，一些信徒開始另尋他處聚會。
自2014年以來，已經由來自國外的傳道舉辦兩次靈恩會以及一次研討會。
Under the care and guidance
of the Lord, the East Paris Prayer
House was recognized by the
IA and officially registered in
May 2015. There are currently
forty-one members and two RE
classes. Services are held weekly
from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
followed by Youth Fellowship
which ends at 6:00 p.m.
在主的保守以及帶領下，東巴黎祈禱所在2015年5月正式註冊於國際聯總，目前有41位信徒以及兩個宗教教育班級。
聚會時間是從每周六的11:00至16:00，並在會後有青年團契聚會並於18:00結束。
Presently, East Paris Prayer
House is raising funds and
searching for a chapel. They
require the faithful intercession
of the whole TJC.
目前東巴黎祈禱正在籌措資金並尋找一個小教堂，他們亟需要整個真耶穌交會的關心。

OUTLOOK 未來展望
Going forward, there are a number of important objectives for the churches
under ECC.
在未來發展上，歐陸聯絡中心的教會有許多重要的目標。
Preaching 宣道工作
In the past few years, brethren at several locations have purchased and
renovated church buildings or apartments for worship. Much time and energy
have been spent on these matters as there were often problems that only God
could solve. With most of these tasks now completed, there is a need to refocus
on preaching the gospel to the world, particularly to the local people in Europe.
Only then can the gospel be spread further in this part of the world.
過去的幾年中，許多不同地點的信徒們已經購買並重新裝修聚會空間，
這些耗費時間和精力的問題，都透過神的幫助而獲得解決。
隨著這些硬體的問題獲得改善，是時候把目光集中到將福音傳給世界，特別是讓更多當地歐洲人民認識神。
只有這樣福音才能更進一步傳到世界這個角落。
The church needs to have members who are able to preach the word of God
on the pulpit to edify the church as well as share the good news with strangers
to bring them to Christ. Currently, the entire Continental Europe region only
has a single full-time preacher for the German-speaking region, who is often
deployed to other parts of the world to support the work of God. Although
the United Kingdom General Assembly does send UK preachers to assist, it is
vital for Continental Europe to train more members, especially its youths, to
sermonize and to evangelize. By God’s grace, there will be members who will
offer themselves to be full-time ministers in the future.
教會需要有更多的信徒能夠在講台上宣揚神的話語，造就教會以及帶領慕道者來認識基督。
目前整個歐洲大陸地區僅有一位德語地區的全職傳道，
然而他卻常常需要到其他世界地區協助聖工。
雖然英國總會時常會拆派英國傳道協助，
但對於歐洲大陸而言，訓練更多的工人至關重要，特別是培養青年講道與宣道的能力。
藉著神的恩典與呼召，將會有更多信徒奉獻自己在未來的成為專職工人。
Strengthening 強化
Another important task is to help the members in the Southern European
countries, such as Italy and Spain, to establish the local church. Many of the
members there have to work 24/7 for a meager income. Hence they have little
time and energy left to serve God. However, these places are like young sprouts.
If we provide as much support as possible and help them to grow, they will one
day become great and strong churches, able to glorify God.
另一項重要任務是幫助南歐國家建立教會，如:意大利和西班牙。
許多信徒需要長時間工作，因此很少能把時間和精力留下來侍奉神。
然而，這些地方都是像是剛發芽的幼苗，
如果我們盡可能的提供幫助和支持，讓他們成長茁壯，有一天他們也能建立教會來榮耀神。
With God’s guidance, the ECC will be able to overcome these challenges and
preach the gospel to all corners of Europe. Intercessory prayers from worldwide
TJC brethren are greatly needed. We look forward to welcoming you here in
Europe one day.
在神的帶領下，歐陸聯絡中心將能克服這些未來的挑戰，並將福音傳遍歐洲的各個角落。
目前歐洲大陸亟需來自世界各地真耶穌教會信徒的代禱。我們非常歡迎且期待你有一天能來歐洲拜訪我們。
