大家好，我叫Maureen Chung。我今年回臺灣參加了短宣。

剛開始我很不情願，因為是老媽帶隊。我跟老媽的關係一直不是太好。所以在短宣隊裡我不是很合作。

我是在短宣隊的第二週才加入的。其他人都已經彼此很熟悉熱絡了。我真的覺得自己很格格不入。我跟姊姊提到這個，她則回我一句好像來自聖經的話：專注在神身上，凡事都會各就各位。我很努力地把這句話吞到肚子裡。

在整個短宣的過程中，有件事讓我印象深刻。一個小男孩在我們正在開會評量短宣成果時被車撞了。小男孩沒事，我心裡卻有一些聲音：假如這小男孩那時真的被撞死了呢？假如他死了卻還不認識耶穌呢？而我卻也許是那個可以幫他在死前認識神的人呢？

我真希望我在這件事之後就已經變成一個完美的宣教士了！不過我知道還差很遠。我很努力地在學生面前活出耶穌的榜樣，而不只是個好朋友或好老師。我用我認為神會照顧我的方式來照顧我的學生。也學習不要討厭那些搗蛋的小孩，反而要幫助他們。

我的結論是，這次的短宣經驗對我助益良多。我會不會再跟媽媽一起參加福音隊呢？也許不會吧！不過，還是要看神怎麼說囉！

Hi, I'm Maureen Chung and I went on Tiawan mission this year.

I didn't really want to go on this mission trip from the beginning because my mother was leading it. I had a hard time. My relation ship with my mother isn't all too good. I didn't obey my mother as well as I would've if it had been someone else.

I went on missions during the second week, and by the time I got there, everyone on the missions team all knew each other pretty well and were really close. I guess you could say I felt left out. I spoke with my sister, Irene, about this and she gave me a verse from the Bible. "Focus on God and all things will fall into place." I tried to take this verse to heart.

One of the things that helped me on this mission trip was when this little boy had an accident. It was evaluation time and a little boy had run into the street and gotten hit by a car. Thankfully, the boy wasn't hurt, but I was thinking...What if that boy had died? What if that boy had died without knowing Christ? And what if that boy had died without knowing Christ and I could've saved him?

I wish I could say I became a perfect missioner after that, but I wasn't, although I did try harder to be more of an example of Christ towards my students rather than a good friend, or a great teacher. I was less harsh, less authorized and I took care of my students the way I thought God would take care of me. I learned not to resent the kids that were annoying and to instead help them.

All in all, I believe this mission trip was a good experience. Would I go on another trip with my mother? Probably not. But I'll have to see what God calls me to do.

參加福音隊，讓我經歷禱告的功效！禁不住要感謝神！

原本以為無法參加，因接到學校通知7/1-3日須留校監考，不得請假。但透過禱告，上帝卻奇妙地移轉了這難題，出隊第一天我在行列中！學校派遣我參加一個突然插入的校外會議，正式免了我所有監考的職務（全校大概只有我有此豁免權吧）。又透過參加研習，剛好營隊需要有人載送烤肉等食品回滿州，我成了那位“恰恰 好”的人選！上帝真是在細微的事情上，都有奇妙安排。

這次福音行動，高雄大學信望愛社有五位學生參加。高雄大學是新學校，信望愛社去年方成立，從不穩定的2-5位學生開始，資源經費也從零開始，至這學期每週有一次禱告會，及一次團契聚會活動，已算有所成長。除聚會外，平時學生各忙各的事，少有跨系主動聯絡關懷機會。此狀況永明長老給的處方就是：出隊。但信望愛 社在經驗及資源上都不足，如何是好？感謝主，油廠教會舉辦滿州兒童營，適時解決了信望愛社的問題！回程中，聽到隊員恩路提到：「藉著福音隊的機會與其他人一起做事、分享，能敞開自己與人交流，很開心！」營會過程中，看到隊員們潛力一一發揮，這是在學校裡還不曾有機會展現的。

天氣方面，原本以為正是七月炎炎夏日，不止每天汗流浹背，還有戶外活動，擔心會被驕陽烤得中暑，但透過禱告，上帝真讓我們經驗到祂的恩待--雲柱出現了！壘球活動可以在午后正熱時進行數小時！期間有一颱風，只是風稍大沒有雨，增加了更多雲層遮陽，讓烤肉活動、大地遊戲在沒有烈日之下，順利進行！甚至整個活動 結束，夜遊觀星完畢回到住處，雨才傾盆而下。

營會期間，活動之餘，也同時享受國家公園的自然美景，真是格外恩典。每天往返永港國小途中，放眼望去草原風光與滿山青翠盡入眼簾，彷若置身紐西蘭。忙裡偷閒，大夥兒到附近風吹沙感受海風夾帶沙粒打在身上刺痛的感覺，這滋味存留至今，滿州的山水美景無法忘懷。營火晚會結束當晚，大夥兒夜遊風吹沙、燈塔觀星、 出火奇景；最後一天回程時繞道佳樂水，一睹海岸怪石嶙峋，白浪衝擊礁石浪花四濺的美景，這是自從調職回高雄兩年，一直嚮往之地，竟能有如此機會與青年學生一起享受，感染他們的青春活力，禁不住又要感謝上帝的恩待。

另一要感恩的是每天享受歐陽媽媽及聰玲阿姨三餐準時供應的可口美食，比我自己平常吃的還豐盛，讓大夥健康無慮，體力充沛，專注於團隊事工。

這次福音行動，有兩項美好收穫：一是看見鄉下福音事工需要更多關懷與支援；二是年輕人有操練與成長的機會。未來盼望有更多年輕人被神得著。
