美国全国西班牙裔基督教领袖会议举行25周年峰会：牧者呼吁教会建立门徒训练文化
据《基督邮报》10月21日报道，美国全国西班牙裔基督教领袖会议（National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference，NHCLC）10月20日在华盛顿的圣经博物馆（Museum of the Bible）举行25周年峰会。与会讲员之一、跨校区教会 The Way World Outreach 主任牧师 Marco Garcia 在会上呼吁教会领袖建立「门徒训练文化」，称好的讲道与音乐不足以造就门徒。
NHCLC 由牧师 Samuel Rodriguez 领导，是美国主要的西班牙裔基督教领袖组织之一。Garcia 的教会在美国亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州与肯尼亚设有校区。他在演讲中引用《马太福音》28章的大使命称，教会的任务没有改变，问题不是庄稼，而是工人不够。他说：「我们没有把信仰传给下一代，原因在于我们没有在训练门徒，只是在办礼拜。」他还说：「好的讲道不够，优秀的敬拜团队也不够。我们必须训练我们的孩子、下一代门徒，让他们成为能造就门徒的人。」
Garcia 介绍了该教会运行22年的门徒训练体系，包括名为「Holy Warriors」的课程，内容从基督徒生活的基础教导，到帮助学员摆脱过去的束缚，再到训练小组成长带领他人。他说，该教会当年开堂时有500人出席，如今有10个校区、每周出席超过15,000人。他呼吁在场的教会领袖在各自教会、个人生活，以至美国与世界，开启一场「门徒训练的变革」。（GSM据《基督邮报》报道）
National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference Marks 25th Anniversary Summit in Washington
The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) held its 25th Anniversary Summit on October 20 at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., The Christian Post reported on October 21. Among the speakers, Marco Garcia, senior pastor of the multicampus church The Way World Outreach, urged church leaders to build a "discipleship culture," saying good preaching and music are not enough to make disciples.
The NHCLC, headed by Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, is one of the leading Hispanic Christian leadership organizations in the United States. Garcia's church has campuses in Arizona and California in the United States and in Kenya. Citing the Great Commission in Matthew 28, he said the church's assignment had not changed and that the problem was not the harvest but a shortage of workers. "We're not passing on our faith to the next generation, and the reason is we're not discipling. We're just doing church services," he said. "Good preaching is not enough. A great worship team is not enough. We must train our children, the next generation, the disciples, to be disciple makers."
Garcia outlined the discipleship system his church has run for 22 years, including a "Holy Warriors" program whose successive levels teach the foundations of Christian living, help participants break free from their past, and train them to lead small groups. He said the church drew 500 people on its grand opening day and now has 10 campuses with more than 15,000 people attending weekly. He urged the leaders present to start a "discipleship revolution" in their churches, their personal lives, in America and in the world. (GSM, based on reporting by The Christian Post)
