THE CHURCH IN HAMILTON

Campus Gospel Work at Princeton University

 

Acts 13:1-2 Now there were in Antioch, in the local church, prophets and teachers: Barnabas and Simeon, who called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, set apart for Me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

 

The beginning of chapter 13 from the book of Acts gives us a clear view that after a local church is established, there is a group of brothers begin prayers and fasting for the Lord’s move. As they were ministering to the Lord, the Holy Spirit set apart few of them for the work to which the Lord has called. Similarly, the Church in Hamilton which began its Lord’s table meeting in year 2007 was under the same condition.   God’s blessing follows along as the church was being established. As the number of people continuously multiplied, groups of pure hearted saints answered the calling from the Lord for the work which He has called them.

 

In year 2010, several young brothers and sisters from Church in Hamilton, prayed in oneness for the gospel work of Princeton University. Many of these young saints had received the Lord for about two to three years and some not even a year. They were constrained by the love of the Lord and filled with the spirit of gospel. Like Daniel in the Old Testament, they pray unceasingly for three weeks 21 days. As a result, the door for the gospel of Princeton University was opened. For three consecutive weekends, we booked the student activity center on campus and had 7 gospel meetings and love feasts, welcomed the new students. We contacted more than 80 students in three weeks, 5 students were baptized and more than 20 students received the Lord.

 

Ever since year 2010, in the beginning of each new semester, we would have gospel meetings on campus. After gospel meetings, there will be weekly campus and home meetings for those who are open to the gospel. In year 2012, we had three postdocs who received the Lord and got baptized. From this year onward, not only do we preach gospels, but we also need to devote time and love in perfecting these students, so that they will be able to bear the burden in preaching gospel on campus. May the Lord raise more of His workers to shepherd the new ones in Princeton University so that we may be built up and be perfected in the Body of Christ.

普林斯顿大学校园开展

 

使徒行传13:1-2 在安提阿当地的教会中,有几位申言者和教师,就是巴拿巴和称呼尼结的西面,古利奈人路求,与分封王希律同养的马念,并扫罗。他们事奉主,禁食的时候,圣灵说,要为我分别巴拿巴和扫罗,去作我召他们所作的工。

 

行传十三章开头给我们看见,在一个地方教会成立以后,有一群绝对为着主权益的弟兄们禁食祷告,事奉主的时候,圣灵就差派他们中间的几位去作主召他们所作的工。劳伦斯教会在2007年开始主日擘饼聚会以后也是同样的光景。随着教会成立以来,神的祝福一直随着我们,人数不断繁殖扩增,一批一批清心爱主的圣徒被主兴起,去作祂召我们所作的工。

 

在2010年,几位在劳伦斯教会年轻的弟兄姊妹,信主都不到2,3年的时间,甚至有的受浸还不到一年,同心合意地为普林斯顿大学的福音行动祷告。大家被主的爱困迫,被福音的灵冲击,像旧约但以理一样,连续祷告了三周21天。普林斯顿大学福音的门就这样打开了。我们连续三个周末,在学校租下来的活动室办了7场福音聚会和爱宴,欢迎新生。三个星期接触到了80多位学生,带了5位学生受浸,超过20位学生接受主。

 

2010年以后,每年新学期我们都会在校园举办福音聚会。在福音聚会以后,我们每周都有校园聚会和家聚会,来牧养并照顾对福音敞开的学生们。

 

2012年我们又有3位博士生受浸归入主名。从今年开始,我们不仅要广传福音,并且要多花力量来成全这些高材生,让他们能拿起在校园传扬福音的负担。愿主兴起更多祂的工人,在基督的身体里,与众圣徒配搭在一起,一同在普林斯顿校园牧养新人,一同受成全。
