Schools as fertile ground for the gospel. 校園是福音事工的沃土
In 1932, one Indonesian youth
became ill three months after his
marriage in China. The cause of his
illness could not be diagnosed and
his condition worsened. He became
bedridden for six months. Despite
consulting temple deities and taking
a range of medication, he was not
cured. His aunt advised him to believe
in Jesus in the True Jesus Church, and
he was carried on a stretcher to the
church for prayers. Miraculously,
twenty-eight days later, he was
healed. Soon after, he, together
with his mother and his aunt, was
baptized in the True Jesus Church at
Putien in Fujian, China. This brother
subsequently invited Deacon (Dn.)
Stephan Siauw, who baptized him, to
visit Indonesia in 1939.
1932年，一名印尼青年在中國結婚過後三個月後病倒了。
醫生無法診斷出哪裡出了問題，使他的病情惡化，造成他半年內都臥病在床。
儘管諮詢了寺廟神佛，並採取多種藥物的治療，他的病仍然無法痊癒。
他的姑姑勸他來真耶穌教會信耶穌，他便被抬上擔架到教會禱告。
奇蹟般地，在28天後，他的病痊癒了。
不久之後，他與他的母親和阿姨，在真耶穌教會中國福建的莆田教會接受洗禮。
這位弟兄隨後邀請幫他受洗的蕭司提反(Stephan Siauw)執事，於1939年訪問印尼。
Dn. Siauw accepted the invitation
and went to Jakarta, where he started
to evangelize. He gathered twelve
brethren from China, and together,
they held services in the house of an
elder from China. Through the power
of God, the sick were healed, demons
were cast out, and many came to
believe. On February 1, 1941, the
first True Jesus Church in Indonesia
was established in Jakarta.
蕭執事接受了邀請，帶著12位中國的弟兄，到雅加達開始傳福音。
他們起初在一個的來自中國長老的家中聚會。
藉著神的大能，人的病得以痊癒，魔鬼能被趕出，許多人也因此來相信耶穌。
隨後在1941年2月1日，於印尼的雅加達，設立了印尼的第一間真耶穌教會。
From then on, the gospel spread
to other cities in Indonesia, and later
the Indonesia General Assembly
(GA) was established, and the church
in Indonesia was registered under
the International Assembly (IA)
in mainland China. The bylaws of
the True Jesus Church (Indonesia)
were recognized by the Indonesian
government in 1952.
The early workers in Indonesia
were from China and Hong Kong:
1. Dn. Stephan Siauw (Putien)
1939–1955
2. Dns. Maria Chen (Fuzhou)
1947–1971
3. Dns. Yulia Lim (Fuzhou)
1953–1966
4. Dn. Guo Tze Yen (Hong Kong)
1955–1967, 1970–1983
從此，福音開始傳播到印尼的其他城市，後來便在中國大陸的國際總會(IA)下註冊，成立印尼總會（GA）。
真耶穌教會（印度尼西亞）的章程條例也於1952年被印尼政府認可。
早期在印尼的工人多來自中國大陸和香港:
1. 莆田 蕭司提反執事(Stephan Siauw)，1939-1955
2. 福州 陳瑪利亞執事(Maria Chen)，1947-1971
3. 福州 林月兩執事(Yulia Lim)，1953-1966
4. 香港 郭梓嚴執事(Guo Tze Yen)，1955-1967，1970-1983
At the IA’s suggestion, the Indonesia
GA established a theological training
program on January 10, 1984. Its
inaugural batch of students were
ordained in 1988. To date, sixteen
batches have passed through this
seminary; with a total of forty-three
graduates having completed the
program, twenty-six of whom have
since been ordained as full-time
ministers. Currently, Indonesia GA
has twenty-one full-time ministers
serving the Lord.
在國際總會的建議下，印尼總會於1984年1月10日成立神學訓練課程。
第一屆神訓班於1988年結業，至今已舉辦16屆。歷年來總共有43人已完成神學訓練課程，其中有26人按立為傳道。
印尼總會目前共有21全職傳道為主服事。
ORGANIZATIONAL STATUS 組織架構
The Indonesia GA Council comprises
eleven council members, including the
chairman. There are six departments:
the Department of Evangelism, the
Department of Pastoral Ministry,
the Department of Education, the
Department of Literary Ministry,
the Department of General Affairs,
and the Department of Finance.
Each department is managed by
one director, who is responsible for
mobilizing the work of the church on
a national level.
印尼總會委員會，包括主席在內，由11委員組成，其下分設六個部門：宣道處、教牧處、教育處、財政處、文宣處、總務處和財務處。
每個部門由一位處負責管理和推動印尼教會間的聖工。
Presently, the Indonesia GA is
subdivided into five regions: Jakarta
and the surrounding area, West Java,
Central Java, East Indonesia, and the
Kalimantan region. Each region has a
regional coordinator, who is tasked
with developing and coordinating
the work within the region.
目前，印尼總會細分為五個區域：雅加達及周邊地區，西爪哇，中爪哇，東印度尼西亞和加里曼丹地區。
每個區域都有一個區負責，負責制定和協調區域內的聖工。
MEMBERSHIP STATUS 成員狀態
Church Growth 教會增長
The graph below shows the number
of churches and houses of prayer
established since 1941. Starting from
only three, the number has increased
steadily over the years. Today, there
are thirty-three churches and prayer
houses in Indonesia, with a total membership of around 7,115.
下圖顯示了自1941年以來，所成立的祈禱所和教會數量。
從三間教會，到這幾年來穩定的增加，如今，印尼已有33間教會和祈禱所，並有約7115名信徒
Geographical Distribution of the Churches 教會地理分佈圖

located on Java Island.
下方的地圖上標示了印尼教會和祈禱所的地理分布位置，多數位於爪哇島。
CHALLENGES 挑戰
1. Internal challenges:
‧ The Indonesia GA needs to strengthen members’ understanding of the important role of the church in God’s overall
salvation plan. Members have to realize that the church is not just an organization that caters to their religious lives;
she plays an indispensable role in their salvation.
‧ There are many members who could contribute to the ministry, but they lack training and are yet to be mobilized to serve.
‧ There are eight Kanaan Christian Schools, but the church has yet to maximize the opportunities to evangelize in these schools.
1.內部挑戰：
‧印尼總會需要加強信徒了解，教會在神的救贖計劃中，辦演重要的角色。信徒必須知道，教會不只是為了一個滿足他們信仰生活的組織，教會在救贖計畫中扮演不可或缺的角色。
‧有許多信徒誰然可以傳道，但他們缺乏訓練且尚須有願做的心。
‧有八個卡納安基督教學校，但教會尚且未有效地發揮在這些學校傳福音的機會。
2. External challenges:
‧ Indonesia has 17,508 islands1,
with over four hundred ethnicities.
Due to geographical spread, the
churches are far apart and unevenly
distributed throughout the five major
islands of Indonesia.
‧ Although a secular state, Indonesia
is dominated by Islam. Oftentimes,
this has created obstacles in terms of
evangelism and church building.
2.外部的挑戰：
‧印尼有17508座島嶼，擁有超過四百種族。由於幅員遼闊，教堂間的距離相當遙遠，且無均勻地分布在印尼的五大島嶼上。
‧由於印尼多屬於伊斯蘭教國家，這在傳福音和興建教會的事工方面常常面臨阻礙。
KANAAN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL KANAAN基督教學校
In 1969, the Indonesia GA approved
the setting up of the True Jesus Church
Foundation and the first Kanaan
Christian School, managed under
this foundation, was established on
January 15, 1970.
1969年，印尼總會批准成立真耶穌教會基金會，並透過這個基金會，於1970年1月15日，建立第一間迦南基督教學校。
In 2000, the foundation established
the first Kanaan Global School,
which was a play group located at
Daan Mogot Church. In 2002, this
school was merged with the Kanaan
Global School at Taman Surya in
West Jakarta. The Kanaan Global
School teaches the country’s national
curriculum in the English language
and employs local teachers as well
as teachers from overseas, such as
the United States, Canada, Lebanon,
Bulgaria, China, India, and the
Philippines.
2000年，該基金會由位於大安馬果(Daan Magot)教會的劇團，建立了第一個迦南國際學校。
2002年，這所學校和在西雅加達，塔曼蘇里亞的另一所國際迦南學校合併。
在迦南國際學校中老師用英語教授印尼的國家課程，除了當地的教師外，也有來自海外的教師，如美國，加拿大，黎巴嫩，保加利亞，中國，印度和菲律賓。
Through the Kanaan Schools, many
students, teachers, and parents have
learned of Jesus, were baptized in the
true church, and are now involved
in the work of the ministry. In fact, a
number of the ministers and veteran
church workers are former Kanaan
School students.
透過迦南學校，許多學生、老師、家長都來相信了耶穌，在真耶穌教會接受洗禮，並參與傳道的工作。
一些傳道和資深的教會長職其實也都是迦南學校的校友。
Kanaan Christian School Ministry KANAAN基督教學校事工
Religious education (RE) is mandatory
in the Indonesian school system, and
the Education Ministry requires that
two religious education classes be
taught weekly. Since the Kanaan
School is a Christian school, it is also
subject to this requirement.
宗教教育在印尼的基督教學校中，是屬於義務教育的，印尼教育部規定每周都要有兩次宗教教育課程，所以在迦南學校，每周都會上兩次宗教教育課。
At the Kanaan Schools, only
church members can be the religious
education teachers. On top of RE
classes, the schools conduct weekly
services and daily morning services
of twenty to thirty minutes before
lessons start. Teachers also attend
daily morning prayer sessions.
在迦南學校，只有教會信徒可以當宗教教育的老師。
除了宗教教育外，學校每周也都會有聚會，每天早晨在課程開始前，也都有二十至三十分鐘的早禱會，包括學生和老師都要參加。
Every year, events such as faith
counseling sessions, student spiritual
convocations, and parent spiritual
convocations are held. There are also
optional weekly fellowships and Bible
classes for the students.
每年印尼總會都會舉辦，信仰輔導班、學生靈恩會、家長靈恩會。
另外學生們也可以自由參加每周的讀經班和團契。
All teachers are familiar with the
basic beliefs of the True Jesus Church,
and the Indonesia GA has assigned a
preacher to pastor several schools. At
these schools, currently about thirty
students from elementary to high
school levels voluntarily assemble
to pray together before the start of
lessons and after lessons end, and
some students often ask the preacher
to help them pray for the Holy Spirit.
在迦南學校中的所有的老師都熟悉真耶穌教會的基本信仰，而印尼總會也差派傳道牧養這些學校。
在這些學校中，目前約有30名從小學至高中的學生，自願在課程開始和結束前憶起禱告，有的學生也會尋找傳道，幫助他們祈求聖靈。
Sabbath Gospel Class 安息日福音班
In the past four years, the Kanaan
Schools have worked together with
the church to promote evangelism.
On Saturdays, Kanaan Schools in
various cities hold Sabbath classes
for their students. Parents willingly
send their children to these classes,
as they prefer them to attend the
classes than to spend their time
playing at home and watching TV.
The classes are conducted by the
schools’ teachers together with
our church’s RE teachers. In Jakarta
alone, more than sixty RE teachers
and volunteer members from the
churches in Jakarta, Sunter, and Daan
Mogot are involved in this project.
God’s grace is evident from the high
attendance: 200 students in Jakarta,
180 in Banjarmasin, and 296 in
Pontianak. Nationally, 1,013 students
from our Kanaan Schools attend
these Sabbath classes. This brings
joy to the hearts of the believers and
encourages them to strengthen their
evangelistic fervor.
過去的四年中，迦南學校與教會合作，共同推動福音傳道工作。
每週六，在各個城市的迦南學校都會為學生開設安息日福音班。
家長們都十分願意將送孩子來迦南學校，因為他們更喜歡孩子上課，而不是花時間在家看電視。
該課程是由學校的老師和教會的宗教教育教員一起上課。
在雅加達，有超過60名宗教教育老師和志工都來自雅加達的Sunter和大安Mogot教會。
神的恩典是顯而易見的，由高出席率：雅加達200名學生，馬辰180名，坤甸296名。
在印尼，共有1013名迦南學校的學生參加這些安息日課程。
這件聖工為信徒的心帶來喜樂，也鼓勵了他們加強傳福音的熱情。
A Fertile Field Waiting to Be Ploughed 豐富的莊稼等待收割
God has indeed blessed the Kanaan
Schools; as of June 2014, we had
six Kanaan Christian Schools and
two Kanaan Global Schools located
across seven cities, with a total of
233 classes and a student population
of 5,445 students. Five percent of the
students and around twenty percent
of the teachers and other full-time
employees were True Jesus Church
members.
神實實在在地祝福了迦南學校;如2014年6月，我們有六個迦南基督教學校和兩個迦南全球學校分佈於7個城市，共有233班和5445學生。
5%的學生和將近20％的教師和其他全職員工都是真耶穌教會的信徒。
The harvest abounds, yet there are
few workers. We hope that Manna
readers will pray for the fertile Godgiven
fields of the Kanaan Schools
so that God will move more of us to
participate in the evangelistic work in
these schools.
莊稼豐富，但工人短少。
我們希望馬哪讀者們能為迦南學校，這片神所賜的沃土代禱，求神能讓我們更多人參與這些學校的福音工作。
The harvest truly is great, but the
laborers are few; therefore pray
the Lord of the harvest to send out
laborers into His harvest. (Lk 10:2)
Amen.
要收的莊稼多，做工的人少。所以，你們當求莊稼的主打發工人出去收他的莊稼。 （路10：2）
阿們。
