本届退修研讨会一如既往,是一个传道人灵里歇息、重新得力的小站(A Spiritual Oasis for Pastors to Abide in Him and Be Revived)。这群在第一线服事的心灵相通、共负十架的天路同伴,聚集在这里,以心灵和诚实赞美敬拜,谦卑地聆听圣言,热烈而又认真地切磋研讨,也经历了彼此扶持、彼此激励的甘甜。他们在灵里面重新得力,再次被圣灵复兴。
本届聚会中,我们特别邀请到Rev. Johnny Wilson 传讲两堂信息:“深植神言于心 ”(Internalizing the Word),他以诗篇119:41-48勉励牧者在服事他人之前,先将神的话语内化为自己的生命品质。他指出:“我花了人生很大一部分时间在研究、教导和撰写关于圣经的内容,但我越花时间在圣经上,神就越开启我对圣经深度的认识。我深信:我们越在神的话语上花功夫,祂就越赐福给我们。我们只有竭力与神的话语互动,它才真正成为我们的一部分。”
Pastor Johnny的另一篇信息是“胜过试探之匙”(Keys to Overcoming Temptation), 他以雅各书1:12-18来传讲胜过试探的关键,指出在传道人的服事和生命中试探并不缺席:试探来自人内心的私欲(14节),明白这个道理帮助我们在面对诱惑时,不再归咎于环境或他人,而是警醒自守,靠主得胜。
The Christian college retreat was such an incredible experience! It was more than just a weekend away; it was a time of deep connection, renewal, and joy. From the worship sessions to the quiet moments of prayer, every part of the retreat felt purposeful and full of God’s presence. We laughed, we shared stories, we listened intently to Pastor Sheng, and we grew, both individually and as a community. Being surrounded by friends who are also seeking God and growing in faith made it all the more meaningful. There’s something powerful about stepping away from the busyness of college life and just being with God and each other. I came back feeling refreshed, encouraged, and more grounded in my faith.
