林肯路教会国语堂发展沿革简史
Brief History of Lincoln Road Chapel Mandarin Congregation
In 1993, God has called Nuke and Vie Shim, Navigator staff members, to start a Bible study at their home. Most of the attendees were visiting scholars from Mainland China.
1993年,神呼召福音机构‘导航会’的Nuke 和Vie Shim夫妇,开始在家中成立面向中国大陆访问学者的英语查经小组。
In 2000, for the spiritual growth of the new converts, Nuke introduced them to attend Lakeshore Bible Chapel, a church close to the universities.
在2000年,为了满足新信主者属灵成长的需要,Nuke介绍新信主者参加位于大学附近的Lakeshore教会。
In 2002, due to the growth of the church, Lakeshore Bible Chapel moved its location to Lincoln Road, thus the change in name to Lincoln Road Chapel.
因教会增长,Lakeshore教会与2002年搬迁到林肯路,并由此更名为林肯路教会。
In 2003, with the encouragement of the Leadership Team, Nuke started a monthly Mandarin fellowship at the church. This step was taken to encourage the Mandarin believers to fellowship in their mother tongue and with the hope that it will become a congregation.
从2003 年开始,在林肯路教会长老会的鼓励下,Nuke弟兄开始了在教会的每月一次的国语敬拜尝试。这是鼓励讲国语的信徒能够用他们的母语交流,并且希望最终可以成立一个国语教会。
Finally in 2008, with the growth of Mandarin believers, and God’s perfect timing a congregation was born. A full-time Mandarin pastor was hired to lead a weekly Sunday worship in Mandarin.
到了2008年,随着讲国语的信徒增加,在神安排的最好的时间,国语堂终于诞生了。国语堂开始有了全职牧师来带领和牧养教会。
