Despite the uncertain situation currently [...]
在2016年，有一組非常特殊人士的藝術團，從中國大陸來到美國的北加州地區，走進許多間華人教會及團契中，舉辦了20多場極其特殊的音樂生命見證佈道會，吸引了眾多的人群前來觀看，幾乎場場爆滿，甚至有些人跟隨藝術團觀看了3-4場的演出；每場演出都讓許多人流下了感動的淚水，許多人決志禱告，生命得救。大家爭相互傳資訊，一時間轟動了整個北加州的華人教會。 這就是中華盲人福音聯合會“生命光藝術團”的盲人弟兄姊妹們。他們是一支樂隊，樂隊的成員卻全是盲人，他們中間有盲人牧師、盲人作曲家、盲人男女高音，不僅吹拉彈唱樣樣都行，而且連演唱的歌曲大部分都是他們自己創作的。他們雖然看不見Ë{天白雲，卻用美妙的音樂，給無數人送去溫暖和陽光。究竟是什麼力量，讓這樣一群本該彷徨苦悶、怨天尤人的盲人，反而成為照亮和祝福他人的生命之光？ 中華盲人福音聯合會簡介 據中國官方不完全統計，在中國大陸將近有1700萬的人士遭遇視覺障礙，這是一個驚人的數字！在這個龐大群體中的每個人，每天都承受著心靈與肉體雙重的痛苦，中國更將盲人視為殘中之殘。他們每天都掙扎在絕望中，徘徊在人生的十字路口。他們盼望有人能夠將他們從無盡的黑暗中拉出來，帶向光明。只有耶穌基督的愛和生命之光才能徹底的拯救他們。而在中國，誰又能夠向這個龐大的特殊群體傳福音呢？ 於是，美國生命光教育基金會會長 William 雷弟兄（視障商人）聯合臺灣的林德昌盲人牧師，於2012年7月6日成立了中華盲人福音聯合會（盲福會），其宗旨是將天國的福音傳遍中華大地上所有眼睛有殘障的人士。“盲福會”從創建之初先是吸引了一些愛主、願意為主擺上的明眼弟兄姊妹的服事，後來又感動了很多視障的弟兄姐妹的加入，他們自籌基金、自我建立。不久，他們就靠自己建立了 YY 網路平臺，在北京、河南、黑龍江、四川、廣西等地建立了盲人團契，在生命光教育基金會的幫助下，已經資助了近200位盲人入讀神學院。 神也在他們當中特別揀選出有音樂恩賜和才華的弟兄姊妹，於2014年3月1日成立了生命光藝術團。這群因著上帝的真光，散發出星星光芒的盲人，上帝賦予他們靈毓的特質，使他們在Â}詩讚美中，透過民Ö{曲風、流行風格，多種樂器的演繹，唱出了來自靈魂的歌聲。迄今已製作發行了兩張原創CD【心中有你】，【我的靈看見了】。 生命光藝術團在神的帶領下，已在中國大陸、港澳臺等地；新加坡、馬來西亞、美國等國家，面向教會、企業、學校、社區舉辦了音樂佈道會200餘場，聽聞福音近3萬人。生命光藝術團願意撒下上帝愛的種子，用音樂傳揚上帝的福音。 我們撒種，上帝使其開花結果。正如Â}經馬太福音13章23節所說：“後來結實，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。” 中華盲人福音聯合會成立以來，積極創建了六大福音事工： 一、網路宣教 創建了YY直播頻道、網站、微信公眾平臺，每週都有節目和靈修文章的推送，從而使更多盲人朋友，都有聽聞福音的機會；同時也於2018年和蝠聲網路電臺—家音頻率合作，從而讓更多的盲人朋友接觸到福音。 二、神學推廣 2013年成立了神學班，陸續支助一百多位盲人，研修中華福音神學院延伸部的多媒體網路Â}經科函授課程；同時，先後出版了兩本神學生見證集，按立了10位盲福會傳道人。近期，盲福會鼓勵盲人學習神學的計劃仍然很順利，目前有35-40名學生就讀於中華福音神學院，5名學生就讀於西南浸信會神學院的碩士學位課程。我們的祈禱是，將來有更多的盲人學生願意藉此機會裝備自己。 三、回到本地本族 畢業後的盲人傳道被差派回到家鄉，在中國部分城市，成立了兩個分會六個盲人團契，他們分別委身當地教會，與教會明眼弟兄姊妹，合一侍奉同蒙祝福。 四、Â}樂宣教 成立了生命光藝術團，出版了兩張原創讚美詩歌專輯，廣傳盲福會福音異象，用讚美獻上祭物，用生命影響生命。 五、職場侍奉 成立了盲福針推聯盟，盡力為盲人朋友提供按摩技能培訓，營造接觸福音的機會，榮耀耶穌基督的Â}名。 六、盲人宣教 每兩年舉辦一期國內外盲人宣教研討會，召集對盲人福音事工有負擔的牧師傳道人，為盲人宣教事工進行探討，願主點燃我們的愛火，迎接事工的復興。 生命光藝術團事工的拓展 2017年12月底，生命光藝術團有幸被華人宣教大會邀請帶領了三場音樂崇拜，在這三次敬拜中，他們用美妙的歌聲和發自心靈的讚美帶領會眾經歷了上帝奇妙的恩典。2018年初，生命光藝術團又成功的訪問了南加州的各個華人教會，同時舉辦了多場音樂佈道會，把美好的福音帶給了眾人；接著，藝術團的讚美和福音的腳蹤又踏上了美國德州的達拉斯、休斯頓，甚至遠涉重洋，在澳洲、新加坡、馬來西亞、香港、臺灣等地巡迴演出，藉著歌聲傳言天國的福音。生命光藝術團的弟兄姐妹們雖然眼盲，但是心卻不盲，他們並沒有被身體殘疾的困境所擊敗，反而靠主站立起來，為主發光作美好的見證。 生命光盲人藝術團將於2019年11月6日至12月2日再次訪問灣區。為了傳達盲人宣教的異象，生命光藝術團將今年的音樂宣教的主î}定為：靠主站起來。他們將以盲人天籟的歌聲，將音符轉為鏗鏘的見證，分享被耶穌拯救、出黑暗入光明的經歷，唱出從上帝而來的愛與喜樂，敘說殘而不廢勇氣的來源，以及如何經過畏縮再如鷹展翅飛翔，並且傳達盲人朋友信主的需要，報告本會在盲人宣教領域的工作與負擔。
