褔音晚餐 (Gospel Dinner)
 
何为褔音晚餐?
褔音晚餐是一个极好的与亲朋好友分享我们对主耶稣基督的信仰的场所。在宽松的家庭气氛中,我们希望不仅能为邀请来的未信朋友提供美味的食物,而且,更重要的是,为他们提供所需要的宝贵灵粮。

誰来做?做什么?何时做?
外展宣教正在寻找愿意的弟兄姐妹参与到这项事工中来。您可以选择一年只参与一次晚餐。在这项事工上请听从主的带领。

我们计划每年举办20次褔音晚餐,每月两次(不包括11月和12月)。每次晚餐,理想的基督徒家庭数目是3家。每个家庭或个人可以志愿来:
  1. 开放家庭作为晚餐的场所;
  2. 邀请亲朋好友;
  3. 准备食物;
  4. 分享个人见证;或
  5. 以上所有或其中几项。
外展宣教部同工将在晚餐的准备和进行过程中随时提供帮助。晚餐之前,之中,和之后的任务表如下:

  What is Gospel Dinner?
Gospel Dinner is a wonderful avenue through which we can share our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ with our friends and relatives. In a relaxed home setting, we hope to provide not just delicious food to the non-believers that we invite to the dinner, but also, more importantly, the spiritual food that they need – the gospel of Christ the Savior.

Who needs to do What and When?
The Outreach Department is seeking brothers and sisters willing to be involved in this ministry. You could choose to be involved in just one dinner a year. Follow the leading of the Lord on this.

We aim to hold 20 gospel dinners a year, two per month (excluding November and December). For each dinner, the optimal number of Christian families is 3. Each family or individual can volunteer to:
  1. Open up their house as a venue for the dinner;
  2. Invite friends or relatives;
  3. Prepare food;
  4. Share your personal testimony; or
  5. All or some of the above.

Representatives from Outreach will guide you along the preparation process as well as during the dinner itself. A timeline of tasks to be completed before, during and after the dinner is as follows:

There is a $75 budget for those preparing the food. Approach Brother Peter Liang for a reimbursement. Also, if you are suddenly unable to participate a week before the dinner for which you signed up, you can contact the Outreach Department and we will be happy to help you switch with another family.
