你問我在哪裡看到神奇妙的作為,你看到小孩靈命成長,你看到老人信主,神無所不能。

                楊:親愛的朋友平安,很高興有一位德國的弟兄,來到紐約,他是我們的中國女婿,是我們的主內弟兄。今天要請這位弟兄來和大家分享神在他身上的恩典。請教弟兄,你的中國名字怎麼稱呼?

                葛:我的中國名字為葛禮謙,諸葛亮的葛,禮拜的禮,謙虛的謙,葛禮謙。

                楊:你怎麼會說中國話呢?

                葛:我在40年前開始唸漢字,就是中國的歷史學和語言,在「漢堡大學」學了四年。四年以後我去到新加坡,以學生的身分待了一年。因為那時候在新加坡還有一個考中文的大學,叫作「南洋大學」,我就在那裡學中文。那是1974年,因為我認為我的中文能力還不夠好,就轉到台灣去,然後我在台灣待了4年。

                楊:在台灣認識你太太的嗎?

                葛:是的,原本我打算在台灣留半年或者一年,可是神就給預備一個台灣女孩,她家裡一共七個小孩,她是老四,她是唯一的基督徒。認識她我覺得好奇妙,怎麼會有一個中國女孩還是基督徒,神就在台灣給我預備了個很好的太太。

                楊:你們結婚到現在多少年了?

                葛:我永遠忘不了我們結婚的那一天是1976年3月20號,快36週年啦!

                楊:感謝主,那麼後來你們就一起回到德國去嗎?

                葛:是的,1976年我們生了老大,他是一個男生,過了一年,1977年我們帶著老大回國。再過三年1980年,神給我們另外一個兒子,老大叫漢德,老二叫漢思,是漢朝的漢,思想的思。

                楊:啊,兩個壯丁。他們也是基督徒嗎?

                葛:沒有,這是目前太太和我非常大的負擔,因為我們那時候不是基督徒。我們自己離神的道路很遠,等了幾乎30年,自己才被重生。所以這兩個孩子年輕的時候,沒有去教會,沒有受到什麼宗教教育或是培訓。他們到今天為止,還是慕道友。

                楊:那麼請問,你們兩位到什麼時候,才真正願意來服事主?

                葛:我的太太比我早2-3年開始行動。我們在德國有一次聖誕節的時候,從台灣來的兩個朋友,都是牧師。那麼聖誕節的時候,我們想想應該帶他們到教會去。雖然那時我們在柏林待了十幾年,不知道柏林華人教會在哪兒,為了陪那兩位牧師聖誕節去,我們就查出來。其中一位牧師問我太太說,「你是受洗了的基督徒,為什麼不經常到教會服事神?」我太太回答說,「你看不到嗎?我有個好先生,有兩個好孩子,什麼都有了,好像天父對我滿意啦。」牧師怎麼回答呢?他說:「你有沒有注意到,說不定是魔鬼給你那麼舒服的生活,就是阻擋你去服事神。」我太太嚇了一跳,她從那時候起,每個星期天到教會去敬拜神,也開始服事在教會作同工。當時我說太太你要去,我送你去,但是我不跟你去教會,這是一個華人的教會,我是德國人,我聽不懂。差不多兩年的時間,每個星期天的下午,開汽車送她去教會,可是我都在外面等,               不知道裡面弟兄姊妹和我太太在為我禱告。

                記得2000年秋天的時候,從美國來一個非常好的長老,訪問我們的教會,我也是車子載他開來開去,到機場接他。他問我說“你的德文名字是Christian,就是基督徒的意思。你到底是不是基督徒?”我就開始想一想。嚇了一跳,我想,我已經55歲,這一輩子,都知道有一位神,我越看,神為我的家庭什麼都祝福,什麼都好,可是我都不敬畏祂。噢,噢,噢,幾乎來不及啦。所以我在2000年秋天的時候認罪悔改。

                楊:感謝主,神的救恩臨到了,真是神有祂的時間。那麼從此你和太太就在教會參與服事。

                葛:是的,他們就講“哎,Christian我們需要一個講德文的弟兄或是姊妹,幫我們帶兒童主日學。”我當然非常樂意的說,“好啊!”,我就在柏林華人教會裡面帶著兒童主日學。

                楊:那你在教會裡面也用得到中國話?

                葛:當然。因為一般的敬拜,從一見面到茶點的溝通,都是靠以國語跟弟兄姊妹溝通。

                楊:是,是,感謝主,你的中國話就派上用場啦?

                葛:差不多。因為神給我安排,唸完了漢學,我一般就是跟中國學生,跟中國人有關係的。2000年我自己還在工作,有技術培訓,也是經常和中國的培訓員聯繫交涉設備什麼的。我三次出差到中國,兩次到上海,一次到長春。

                雖然在兒童主日學裡面,我不需要講中文,可是我需要跟他們的父母溝通。有的時候,兩種語言是非講不可的。

                楊:是的,葛弟兄請問你,你的生命和沒有進禮拜堂的時候,有什麼不同?

                葛:老實說完全不同。就像腓立比書四章七節所說,如果我們跟神同行,如果聽耶穌的話,我們就得到意想不到的平安,這種平安,這種喜樂,我天天都感覺到。我越服事,這個平安、喜樂是在我胸懷裡越來越強。

                楊:是的,感謝主。你教會的中國人多不多?

                葛:這個教會是1991或1992建立的。以前在柏林有十幾個小組,那些小組又成立一個教會,那時候,大概有6-70個弟兄姊妹,現在我們的教會成人是200多,從嬰兒到青少年8-90人,都是中國人。孩子們當然是德國出生的GBC,就像在美國出生的ABC,在德國是GBC。

                我教他們是用德文,我們敬拜的語言,唱歌大部分是英文,在家裡講普通話,每個星期六下午去中文學校。

                我們從1991年到2000年初,有一個從台灣來的可愛的牧師,他當然用中文來牧會啦。我們現在有一個新的牧師,從美國來的一個台灣人,他也是用中文。

                楊:葛弟兄,你有沒有經歷過神特別奇妙的恩典?

                葛:半年多前有一個14歲的小女孩,發一個Email告訴我說“我的父母一直吵架,他們要離婚,我覺得他們是為我的緣故。他們都不讓我去教會,我一年多前就認識神,我非常樂意去參加青少年活動。父母不讓我去。”我說“從現在起,你有什麼問題打電話給我或Email給我”。幾個月以後,我想跟她的爸爸媽媽溝通,讓他們的女兒參加查經班,不但溝通不了,有一次他的爸爸還在電話裡罵我。我當然不能在她父母背後繼續跟這個孩子連絡,所以我求神幫忙,我們夫婦倆禱告。有一天我去理髮,我的理髮師是一個中國來的弟兄,當我在理髮的時候,來了一個電話,是這個女孩的媽媽。神很奇妙,他安排我在理髮時,這個媽媽也要理髮。結果呢,由理髮師為我證明“你放心,這個葛弟兄是好人,他不會對妳的小女孩有危險,妳可以相信他,我們認識他好幾年啦”。因此,我可以跟這位媽媽講話,結果她的媽媽回去對女兒說“我現在認識這個葛弟兄,妳可以去教會”。

                你真的看這種機會,這種可能性幾乎是沒有的,而且三天後我就到美國來看我太太的媽媽,真的是神的安排。我愈來愈覺得我不是一個人在服事神,而是神自己在作工。這樣的經歷我告訴你每時刻、每個禮拜都有。

                楊:感謝主,奇妙的作為。

                葛:我現在66歲,如果神今天晚上叫我回去,我可以閉起眼睛過去的,為什麼?現在呢,每一個星期六晚上,一大堆青少年,男的、女的從不同的地方來聚在一起。首先,一定用音樂敬拜神,然後查經。你想想看星期六的晚上,Disco、卡拉OK,漂亮的青少年們,在一個380萬人口的柏林市,他們為什麼不出去玩?因為是渴慕神的話語。我說神,謝謝。這是我目前生命中最大的安慰。

                六年前我太太的爸爸還在世,所以她每年一、兩次來探望,都向爸爸媽媽傳福音。當爸爸病的時候,我在法國,太太打電話說“christian,我怎麼辦,我爸爸越來越軟弱,他好像都聽不到了,我怎麼向他傳福音?”我說“你現在上去叫他,爸爸,你現在真的是要聽,非常重要的,你要不要接納主耶穌作你的救主。”她就掛了電話跟爸爸說,爸爸突然醒了,不但醒了,而且樂意的說“好,我要接納主耶穌作我的救主”。

                迦南教會的牧師,到爸爸家給他施洗,不但如此,爸爸受洗了以後,牧師對他的太太說“現在你的先生預備去天國,你要不要將來跟你先生在一起,你要不要作基督徒?”她說“要”。

                楊:啊,感謝主。

                葛:當天她就接納主耶穌作她的救主。牧師就把所有的偶像,觀世音、土地公什麼的,不管是紙糊的或者金作的收在一個垃圾袋,帶走了,在神沒有難成的事。我的媽媽,我本來不喜歡她,很兇、很霸道的,信主後她變了,心變得很軟,很可愛,人家都開始喜歡她,我現在是跟她愉愉快快的在一起禱告。所以你剛才問我在哪裡看到神奇妙的作為?你看到小孩靈命成長,你看到老人信主,神無所不能。

                楊:我們感謝主,把榮耀歸與主,謝謝。

                葛:阿們!
