牧者园地

牧者园地序言

抬眼望归程，灵移心转羡长空。十年一剑费陶铸，福杯满，路未穷。

险途环绕神同在，迷雾当前主作灯。莫求万事皆如意，数恩典，颂全能。

——《五十感恩》，2008年11月

这是2008年深秋，我临近半百之际的感慨与感恩。这首自度曲，从开头的低迷沮丧，到神亲自转化我心，使我归于感恩与赞美，真实显出神的奇妙作为。

我并非开拓型的人，虽然教会文件称我为“创会牧师”，但若论本质，我只是一个神恩典的见证人。一路走来，艰辛与壁垒难以言喻，然而在我软弱无奈的等候中，却亲眼看见神的手在引领、在搅动、在兴起祂大能的国度，荣耀祂自己的名。

传奇。是的，连我自己都觉得不可思议。但这不是我的传奇，而是神的传奇——我这个“革命小将”，竟然遇见了那位拣选我的神。那位曾被我打翻在地、又被我踏上一万只脚的神，竟以奇妙的方式与我相遇。因着这场奇遇，才有了今天的经历、这间教会、这份看得见的福气。

如今，借着这个“牧者园地”，我愿将自己走过的弯弯曲曲、最终与神同行的旅程，与世人分享。盼望这份见证，能帮助更多人认识这位又真又活的神。

Preface

Lift my eyes toward the journey home,

Spirit stirred, heart drawn to the vast sky.

A decade’s forging for a single blade—

The cup of blessing overflows, the road stretches on.

Though dangers surround, God is ever near;

In the fog ahead, the Lord is my lamp.

Seek not that all things go my way—

But count His grace, and praise the Almighty God.

—- Reflection at 50’ Birthday

This was my reflection and thanksgiving in the late autumn of 2008, as I approached the age of fifty. Whether in lament or in praise, this self-composed hymn traces a journey from discouragement to thanksgiving, revealing the wondrous work of God in transforming my heart.

I am not a pioneer by nature. Though church documents define me as the “founding pastor,” in essence, I am simply a witness to God’s grace. Despite unimaginable hardships and barriers, it was in my helpless waiting that I saw the hand of God—leading, stirring, and raising up His mighty kingdom to glorify His name.

Legendary. Yes, even I find it incredible and beyond imagination. But this is not my legend—it is God’s. I, once a “young revolutionary,” encountered the God who chose me—the very God I had cast down and trampled underfoot ten thousand times. It was this divine encounter that birthed the journey, the church, and the visible blessings we now see.

Through this “Pastor’s Corner,” I hope to share the winding path that led me to walk with God. May this testimony help others come to know the One who is true and living.
