2004 年7月
亲爱的朋友:
欢迎您来到贝城!
经过GT的折磨，等待Offer的煎熬，签证的周折，终于就要踏上梦想已久的行程。但此时悬着的心着了陆，却激起了离别的伤痛。因为从此就要告别挚爱的亲朋，他们也许是年近古稀的双亲，也许是新婚的爱侣，甚至即将出世的骨肉。挥手告别却挥不去内心对亲人的牵挂和对未来一丝的隐忧。
这时，朋友，我要告诉你：行程中，你会有幸在离地三万英尺的高空俯瞰在朝阳照耀下波光粼粼的阿拉斯加湾，你会体会到追逐太阳的豪迈，你会不由自主地感叹造物主的伟力和人生的精彩。落地后，你会发现这里的天空很蓝，鸟语花香，绿树成荫。这里的人很和善，生活惬意。
朋友，我还要告诉你：这里有你的家——贝城华人基督教会！这里的家人们将会陪伴你度过在这里的每一天，并期盼着你早日到来！
贝城华人基督教会

Baton Rouge为路易斯安那州首府.公元1699年法国探险者踏上这块陆地,发现当地的印地安人树起许多红色的大木柱,因此他们命名她为Istrouma or Baton Rouge (翻译成英语为Red Stick).英法战争期间，通过著名的 Louisiana Purchase, 杰弗逊代表联邦将路州从拿破仑手中购买下来，归入美国版图，Baton Rouge自1880年起便成为她的州府。目前Baton Rouge 包括市区 (metropolitian) 和 East Baton Rouge Parish. 前者占地约七十五平方英里，人口约二十三万；后者占地约四百七十二平方英里，人口约四十一万。为全美第四十大城市。
Baton Rouge交通便利.十号和十二号州际高速公路东西向横穿市区.美国主要航空公司都有班次停靠Baton Rouge机场.从Baton Rouge进出的航班主要在达拉斯(Dallas),亚特兰大(Atlanta),梦非斯(Memphis)和休斯顿 (Houston)中转。
路州的饮食和音乐驰名全美.著名的凯京 (Cajun)食品风味独特;这里的海鲜食品在美国也是家喻户晓。音乐以爵士乐(Jazz)为主.路州的文化深受法国文化的影响，独具特色。
Baton Rouge有两所路州最大的公立大学—路易斯安那州立大学和南方大学。这两所大学大大地丰富了Baton Rouge 的文化生活。同时也提供了齐备的体育、音乐、图书馆和娱乐设施。在不同的赛季可以观看精彩的大学生篮球、橄榄球、垒球或其它你所喜爱的体育比赛.Baton Rouge 有一个颇具规模的动物园，有很多的博物馆和公共图书馆，市区附近还有一些著名的种植园(plantation),都是可以光顾的好去处(可参考本手册“area attraction”部分及市区电话簿)

在美国,儿童入学是一件伤脑筋的事情.为孩子选择合适的学校,做父母的不仅需要花心思寻找有关信息,而且还要跑腿实际参观一下学校才放心.有些美国人甚至花钱请专家帮助作这方面的研究.您觉得华人重视教育,美国人有过之!
四、信仰篇
4-1、信仰问答
也许教会对您是个陌生的地方,您新奇之余不禁又有很多的疑问. 我们希望借着以下的问答帮助您简要了解基督教信仰及我们的教会.
问:上帝真的存在吗?
答:凭着极为有限的感官,我们无法看、听、触知这位超越时空的真神. 但透过自然界奇妙的万物和浩瀚无穹的宇宙,上帝向我们彰显出他全能, 全知的属性.他也透过人的道德,良知向我们印证他就是善恶是非的立法者和审判者.
不单如此神更直接通过圣经将他自己启示给世人. 神在古时就主动向以色列民启示,称自己为耶和华.两千年前又在耶稣基督里向万民显现.直到今天.圣灵仍住在每一位神儿女的心中.
从圣经上帝对自己的宣称,从他在历史上许多预言的准确应验,从信徒心灵与生活真实的改变我们清楚地认识并经历了这位圣父,圣子,圣灵三位一体的又真又活的神.
问:历史上真有耶稣这个人吗?
答:是的.丰富的历史和考古证据都见证了圣经对耶稣的记载是准确无误的.他的生平也完全符合旧约对弥赛亚的预言.表明他就是上帝早已应许给人类的救主.全世界都以耶稣的诞生年为纪元,这说明了他在人类历史中独一无二的地位.耶稣是人,更是曾经取了肉身进入历史时空的神.
问:圣经是怎样一部书? 它为什幺可以成为基督徒信仰的依据?
答: 圣经是神的话.是宇宙,人类的创造者对人唯一全备无误的直接启示. 圣经由四十多位作者在上帝的默示下分别写成.成书的时间相距一千六百年,但这六十六卷书却和谐一致,由同一个主题贯穿全书.使人认识耶稣基督借着他赎罪的救恩与神和好.
问:你们所说的福音是什幺?
答:福音就是神借耶稣基督对人类施行救赎的好消息.
起初神创造天地,并按他自己的形像造人,让人与他有亲密的关系并管理世界.但是人类自从始祖亚当,夏娃犯罪背叛上帝以来,离神自立, 自我高举的罪根一直盘踞在每一个人的心中.『世人都犯了罪亏缺了神的荣耀』(罗马书3:23).不管我们是否愿意承认,我们都是罪人,且靠自己不能摆脱罪的辖制.
按上帝公义的本性,『罪的工价乃是死』(罗马书6：23).人人都有一死,死后且有审判.人的罪不但使世界充满痛苦,败坏,空虚和无奈,这有罪的生命在末日审判时更要被废弃落入永死里面.
然而上帝爱我们,不愿我们灭亡,于是差了他的独生子耶稣道成肉身来到世上,成为世人的代罪羔羊,背负我们的罪被钉死在十字架上,第三天复活.『神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的不至灭亡,反得永生』(约翰福音3：16).这就是福音.
问:贝城华人基督教会是怎样的教会?
答:贝城华人基督教会是一间敬拜圣父、圣子、圣灵三位一体真神,坚信圣经无误的教会.教会成员来自大陆,台湾,香港和东南亚.教会以基督为首,弟兄姊妹彼此相爱,亲如一家.我们的宗旨是传福音给贝城的华人留学生及华人社区的同胞,让神的爱临到每一位愿意敞开心门接受他的人.
问:你们在教会里做什幺?
答:除每主日(周日)崇拜聚会外,我们有成人,儿童主日学系统查考圣经. 还有陈牧师,彭传道的中英文证道帮助我们认识真理.此外我们还有很多查经班分布在校园或弟兄姊妹家中.每周五弟兄姊妹在一起分享,学习神的话.
生活中我们遵循圣经的教导,为神作见证.我们也因从神而来的爱相互关怀帮助,彼此扶持.同时也以爱心对待周围的人.
问:我现在忙着工作、学习、等一切安定下来再考虑信仰不好吗?
答:人应当先信神,然后才能看清自己生命的本质意义和方向,才能以正确的心态面对生活中的顺境逆境,才能不如浮萍一般随波逐流.何况人的一生总是忙忙碌碌,为生活、为事业、为名利、为家庭、为儿女……哪里会有安定下来的一天?人只有相信了耶稣,才能得到真平安.
问:认识神如此重要,那幺我该怎样开始呢?
答:我们不愿意您盲目地拒绝,也同样不希望您草率地相信.毕竟从无神论的背景到信耶稣,这中间有个过程.您不妨先从周五的查经班开始,只要您带着开放,寻求真理的态度,相信必有所得.此外教会有许多图书, 音像资料也会对您有所帮助.如果您对圣经或信耶稣有疑问的话,也欢迎您与牧师传道或弟兄姊妹联络.
