张伯笠牧师三天德州之行:达拉斯丰收华夏教会建立,走访五月花教会与对华援助协会

美国德克萨斯州达拉斯消息 — 丰收华夏基督教会主任牧师张伯笠11月11日在自己的网络节目中回顾了近日为期三天的德克萨斯州之行。三天里他走了六站:在南湖举行音乐会布道会、在达拉斯建立丰收华夏教会、在米德兰出席为中国受逼迫教会举行的祷告会、访问对华援助协会总部、看望五月花教会,并在达拉斯与美国转折点成员和德州高中生见面。
第一站是达拉斯—沃斯堡都会区的南湖市(Southlake),他在那里举行了一场音乐会布道会。
此行最重要的一项,是达拉斯丰收华夏教会的建立。丰收华夏基督教会由张伯笠于2002年在华盛顿特区郊区开拓,此后陆续在纽约、费城、洛杉矶、新加坡、悉尼等地建立分堂;张伯笠现居南加州,牧养东洛杉矶丰收华夏教会。达拉斯新堂是这一教会网络在德州的新据点。
在西德州的米德兰(Midland),他出席了为中国受逼迫的教会举行的祷告会,并与当地同工交通筹备事宜;其间他还访问了对华援助协会(ChinaAid)总部。对华援助协会是一家基督教人权组织,总部设在米德兰,创办人是傅希秋。
同在米德兰地区,他看望了五月花教会。五月花教会本名深圳圣道改革宗教会,主任牧师是潘永光;该教会2019年离开中国,先后经韩国与泰国,2023年4月抵达美国,先在东德州泰勒一带安置,其后迁到米德兰地区,目前借用米德兰第一浸信会的场地聚会。
行程的最后一部分回到达拉斯:他与美国转折点(Turning Point USA)的成员以及一批德州高中生见面。这部分内容也是他在节目中着墨较多的一段。
张伯笠在节目开场的简报中写道,这趟行程紧凑、身体疲惫,但他看到「福音的门在德州大大敞开」,又看见美国年轻一代的呼求,使他深信「主仍在掌权,祂的福音必不被拦阻」。
这期节目11月11日以直播形式播出,全长1小时18分。
张伯笠早年曾任记者与作家。据他本人在多个场合的见证,他在1989年接触福音,1995年奉献传道,在洛杉矶正道福音神学院获道学硕士学位,2001年被按立为牧师,现任丰收华夏基督教会总会主任牧师,并创办华夏福音神学院。今年10月,他还曾在洛杉矶出席为受逼迫的中国教会举行的禁食祷告会并分享。

Pastor Zhang Boli Recaps Three-Day Texas Trip: New Harvest Church Planted in Dallas, Visits to the Mayflower Church and ChinaAid
DALLAS, Texas — Pastor Zhang Boli, senior pastor of Harvest Chinese Christian Church, recapped a three-day trip across Texas in his online program on November 11. The trip had six stops: an evangelistic music concert in Southlake, the planting of a Harvest Chinese Christian Church congregation in Dallas, a prayer meeting in Midland for the persecuted church in China, a visit to the headquarters of ChinaAid, a visit with the Mayflower Church, and a meeting in Dallas with members of Turning Point USA and Texas high school students.
The first stop was Southlake, a city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, where he held an evangelistic concert.
The centerpiece of the trip was the establishment of the Dallas congregation of Harvest Chinese Christian Church. Zhang first planted the church in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in 2002; congregations followed in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Singapore and Sydney. Zhang now lives in Southern California and pastors the church's East Los Angeles congregation. The Dallas church is the network's newest location.
In Midland, in West Texas, he joined a prayer meeting for the persecuted church in China and met with local co-workers about its preparation. He also visited the headquarters of ChinaAid, a Christian human rights organization based in Midland and founded by Bob Fu.
Also in the Midland area, he visited the Mayflower Church. Formally the Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church, led by Pastor Pan Yongguang, the congregation left China in 2019, passed through South Korea and Thailand, and arrived in the United States in April 2023. It first settled near Tyler in East Texas and later moved to the Midland area, where it now worships in facilities provided by First Baptist Church of Midland.
The trip ended back in Dallas, where he met members of Turning Point USA and a group of Texas high school students — a stop he returned to several times in the program.
In the briefing slide that opened the program, Zhang wrote that the schedule was tight and he was physically tired, but that he saw the door of the gospel open wide in Texas and heard the cry of America's younger generation, leaving him convinced that the Lord is still in control and that His gospel will not be stopped.
The program was streamed live on November 11 and runs 1 hour and 18 minutes.
Zhang worked as a journalist and writer in his early years. By his own testimony on many occasions, he encountered the Christian faith in 1989, devoted himself to ministry in 1995, earned a Master of Divinity degree from Logos Evangelical Seminary in Los Angeles, and was ordained as a pastor in 2001. He serves as senior pastor of Harvest Chinese Christian Church, and he founded the China Gospel Seminary. In October this year, he spoke at a fasting and prayer meeting in Los Angeles held for the persecuted church in China.
