主又對他們說,你們往普天下去,傳福音給萬民聽,信而受洗的,必然得救,不信的必被定罪。(馬可福音十六:6)
	林:親愛的朋友平安,今天播恩中心請到了從台灣來的陳文逸牧師來分享,陳牧師,你好。
	陳:大家好。
	林:陳牧師請問你是怎麼信耶穌的呢?
	陳:我在台灣屏東的鄉下成長,身體不好,我媽媽就把我帶到廟裡,給偶像做乾兒子。在整個成長的過程裡面,就是在廟裡拜拜、改運啊。後來到台北唸大學的時候,我姐姐邀我到教會。我想自己的姐姐不會邀我到不好的地方,去試試看吧,也沒有說是去追求真理。大概去了兩、三個月,我就發現不太一樣,我的裡面有很多的喜樂,很平安啊!過去我是靠自己的努力,想讓自己的心平靜,但是用了很多方法,覺得成果有限。後來我到了教會,覺得聖靈的工作在我裡面,我就很平安,很多的喜樂。後來我才知道那是重生的生命,就這樣子成為基督徒,很認真的讀聖經,大概一年後受洗。
	林:啊,感謝主。那麼你覺得信主以後有什麼轉變?
	陳:過去我總是想追求一些外在看得見的東西,成為自己的或者別人的肯定。但是到教會以後,我讀聖經好像有一種感覺,就是即使我沒有什麼,但是我還是可以很平安,很喜樂。慢慢地在信仰的認識裡面,我發現神是完全接納我的,所以價值觀有很大的不一樣。
	林:那麼多久以後才感受到神要你全職事奉祂?
	陳:因為我自己從民間信仰的背景信主的,所以信主的過程,重生的生命很清楚。信主後很努力的在追求,很認真讀聖經,很認真聚會,裡面也常常有感動,感覺我的一生可以出來傳道。
	林:那麼你是在什麼樣的情況之下接受呼召的?
	陳:有幾年的時間,我一直覺得能夠辭掉工作,全時間出來服事上帝,是我生命裡面最有價值的事情。比我賺更多的錢,比我追求更高的學歷,爭得更高的地位更有價值,我覺得這是神漸漸的呼召。
	我剛開始想全時間服事的時候,總是想先進神學院,還有三年的時間。學校畢業以後,我是做軟體工程的開發,特別是金融軟體│銀行,大概做了三年半,我就想是不是應該進神學院了?那個時候我跟家人談這個事情,他們都很反對。
	我的父母親還沒有進教會,當然他們對我也有一些期待。特別我媽媽很愛我,她會覺得本來你是我的孩子,怎麼跑去變成上帝的孩子。另外她也怕我要當牧師,那我吃得飽、吃不飽?....我想這兩種複雜的情緒在她心裡面。
	林:所以家裡給你一些攔阻,那時你結婚了沒有?
	陳:還沒有。他們動員一些親戚朋友要來說服我,打消這個念頭。後來我去禱告山一個禮拜,在那裡安靜尋求,禁食。剛好那時我現在的太太已經在嘉義的海邊漁村開拓福音工作,差不多進入第三年。她有一點挫折就請假到禱告山去,安靜禱告。我們是在那裡遇到,很奇妙,神給我特別的禮物,在山上認識。我有機會去她那邊看看,看了以後,我覺得有感動,在鄉下民間信仰影響這麼深的地方,居然有一個單身姊妹,在資源、人力很少的情況下做福音的工作。後來跟她交往,就考慮結婚,既然我辭掉工作,想全職事奉,不如我先去她那裡。她已經在鄉下服事,鄉下有那麼需要,我覺得這是神奇妙的帶領,就投入了鄉下的事工。
	林:你服事這個「鄉村基層福音佈道團」有多長的時間?
	陳:1991年3月我結婚就辭掉工作,到鄉下嘉義漁村。一年半以後,大概1992年9月我到台北唸神學院,1995年7月畢業再回來,一直到現在23年了。
	林:對於在台灣民間信仰那麼沉重的環境裡面,你跟太太如何打破,然後引領他們棄絕偶像的迷信,到真神的面前?
	陳:特別是鄉下的百姓,他們生活在一個很緊密的社群結構裡面,大家都認識,大家都有關係,三叔公、五嬸婆。在這種情況下,要離開原來的信仰不容易。在這當中我們就要跟他們建立關係,和他們做朋友,取得他們的信任,同時我們也做許多比較實際的,比如課後輔導,幫他們孩子們的功課,他們身體有需要的時候,帶他們去醫院,常常為他們禱告,陪伴他們等等。
	在好多年前,有一位媽媽原是一貫道的,當年有兩個孩子在小學二、三年級的時候,聽到教會有兒童的讀經班,她就很高興叫他們來。一貫道有讀經她也帶去,兩邊都帶。但是我們要跟她談福音,她就說你們不要跟我講這個,我19歲就去一貫道,我信的很好。後來她又懷孕了,她懷第二胎,家裡經濟狀況不是很好。懷第三胎時,她壓力很大,所有的親戚朋友都叫她把孩子拿掉。那時我們剛剛懷了第四胎,又是雙胞胎,我就告訴她,孩子是上帝給我們屬靈的產業。後來她生產的時候難產,我們教會就在經濟上幫助她,在她做月子時幫助她,她就感受教會的人比她的親戚朋友更愛她。所以她慢慢地越來越多的進入教會。她本來常說你們教會怎麼樣,我們一貫道怎麼樣。後來就慢慢地改成說,我們教會怎麼樣,他們一貫道怎麼樣。她的孩子現在已經上大學了,她也很穩定在教會裡幫忙、服事、參加小組活動,她跟三個孩子都受洗了。
	林:啊,感謝主,她全家得救啊,那她先生呢?
	陳:她先生還沒有。
	林:只剩下她先生,是早晚的事。請問陳牧師,你們的事工還有什麼需要,可以跟我們的聽眾朋友分享?
	陳:我們需要大家的代禱,我們有一個網站,你只要點「鄉村福音」,或者「鄉福」就可以看到。那上面有我們很多的消息,代禱事項。我們很需要人力,我們也在鼓勵一些可以提早退休的基督徒,特別早期在美國的移民、留學生。如果他們的孩子都長大了,我們鼓勵他投入宣教工作,叫作「事奉第二春」,被神所用。
	到目前大概每年都有一對從美國回去的家庭,他們真的是賣掉房子回去。然後我們每年11月,辦一個「壯年體驗營」,有6天的時間,全部為了幫助這些可以提早退休的人服事而設計的,在我們的網站上有。
	感謝主,那麼在經費上,「鄉福」也算是一個信心的團體,我們沒有特別向外募款,但是很感謝神,我不那麼擔心財務的狀況,只要忠心做神要我們做的事情。
	林:感謝主,你還希望有什麼更好的開拓跟展望呢?
	陳:我們的負擔是在台灣的鄉鎮,我剛才提到,台灣鄉鎮最主要的是民間信仰的問題,根深蒂固。從最早的移民到這土地上幾百年,經過那麼久的時間,民間信仰的種子已經長成一棵大樹。暑假我們在鄉下開始開拓教會附近的國中或國小,辦20個營會。台灣的大學生大概300多人,北美回去的有100多人,這已經是個不小的事工。每年參加的國中生和國小高年級超過1300人,我們就在這些營會中把福音種子撒在他們的生命裡面。這幾年慢慢聽到一些見證,7-8年前他唸國中一年級,他參加這個營會,現在信了主,上了大學,又回來當輔導。我們也在培養年輕的同工,支持他們唸神學院,或者鼓勵提早退休的人。我們想盡辦法,徵召願意宣教的人力去鄉鎮,像一粒麥子種下去,10年、20年以後,教會一定會成長起來,我相信台灣民間信仰的這塊土質是會改變的。
	林:感謝主,你們有5個孩子,相當不容易,你們是怎麼處理的呢?
	陳:我想這點很感恩啦,師母本身也是傳道人,家庭要兼顧。當然我們是有分工的,也有很多的溝通協調,時間久了,她了解我,我也了解她,凡事互相體諒。孩子也慢慢的長大,我們是越來越好,看到神的恩典在我們家庭裡面。
	林:非常感謝陳牧師給我們這麼美好的分享,願神賜力量在你的事工上,也施恩在你的家庭,感謝讚美主!

    In China, people are hiring ‘climbing buddies’ for big money. The more attractive they are, the higher the price
    Индивидуалки эскорт в Израиле
    Wendy Chen decided to challenge herself by climbing Mount Tai, a well-known mountain in eastern China.

    But there was one obstacle in her way: she couldn’t find a friend to join her for the five-hour trek.

    Rather than forgo her plans, the 25-year-old hired a “climbing buddy,” a young man with extensive outdoor experience, to accompany and support her to the 5,000-foot peak.

    Known in Chinese as “pei pa” (meaning “accompany to climb”), these are young Chinese men who join strangers on their journeys up popular mountains for a price. The trend has gained momentum this year, as hashtags related to “climbing buddy” have had over 100 million views on Chinese social media.

    Young, athletic individuals, often university students or even military veterans, advertise themselves on social media platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin, with profiles featuring their height, fitness level and hiking experience. They usually charge between 200 to 600 yuan ($30 to $85) per trip.

    During the climb, these “buddies” will do anything to distract their clients from feeling exhausted and push them to keep going: from singing, telling jokes, playing music, verbal encouragement, going so far as carrying their bags, holding their hands, and pulling them.
    A day on the mountain
    Chen and her climbing buddy’s adventure began at around 8:00 pm so she could arrive at the peak in time for the famous sunrise. After assessing her fitness level, her climbing buddy planned a moderate route and carried her backpack the whole way.

    When they faced chilling winds at the peak, Chen’s climbing buddy rented a thick coat for her while directing her to a walled shelter.

    At the moment the sun rose, Chen’s climbing buddy was already prepared with a national flag and other props so that she could take a memorable photo. Though she felt his photography skills still had room to improve, she rated her climbing buddy as “satisfactory.” The service cost her 350 yuan ($49).

    Though Chen paid a typical price for a climbing buddy, she acknowledges that more good-looking buddies can command higher rates.

    “Attractiveness is also part of their strength,” she says.

    Climbing buddies’ main customers tend to be single young women, but that’s slowly changing.

    A video of a strong male university student carrying a three-year-old effortlessly up a steep mountain — while the toddler’s mother trailed far behind — went viral this summer.

    They fell in love three decades ago. Now they pilot planes together
    Aave

    On their first flight together, Joel Atkinson and Shelley Atkinson couldn’t contain their excitement. They enthused to the flight attendants. They posed for photos. They told passengers via a pre-flight announcement.

    “We made a big deal about it,” Joel tells CNN Travel.

    Then, right before take off, Joel and Shelley sat side by side in the flight deck, just the two of them. They’d come full circle, and were about to embark on an exciting new chapter.

    “It felt amazing,” Shelley tells CNN Travel.

    “As we prepared to take off, I was giddy, euphoric,” says Joel.

    Joel and Shelley met as twentysomethings flying jets in the US Air Force. They became fast friends, then, over time, fell in love.

    Today, they’ve been married for 27 years and counting. They’ve brought up two kids together. And now they’re both pilots for Southwest Airlines. They regularly fly together, with Joel as captain and Shelley as first officer.

    The couple say working together is “amazing.” They treat layovers as “date nights.” They learn from one another’s respective “wisdom and judgment.”

    And no, they don’t argue mid-flight.

    “People ask us, how does it work, flying together?” says Joel. “We know a few pilot couples and some of them fly together, some of them don’t. I’ve heard people say, ‘Oh I could never fly with my wife or my husband.’”

    For Joel and Shelley, working together is seamless – a joy that comes easily to them both.

    “We’re best friends,” says Shelley.

    “There’s just that unspoken bond,” says Joel.

    You’ve come across a bison in the wild. It’s looking at you. Do you know what to do next?
    Pendle

    A dangerous encounter with a territorial bison and the subsequent viral video were not what Rebecca Clark had in mind when she set out for Caprock Canyons State Park in early October 2022.

    She had been so enamored with Texas’ third-largest state park on her first solo hiking and camping trip there a year earlier that she decided to go back for more. Roughly two hours by car from either Lubbock or the Panhandle city of Amarillo, Caprock attracts visitors with big blue skies, brown and green prairielands and rugged red-rock formations.

    Caprock has another draw – its wild bison herd, about 350 strong in late 2022. But bison, the great symbolic animal of the Great Plains, weren’t on her radar. Until suddenly, they were.

    The Texas resident recounted her experience with CNN’s Ed Lavandera, telling him that she came upon a herd while she was walking a trail back from Lake Theo.

    “I decided to just kind of wait for them to … get across the trail, and then I would pass them.” But they weren’t moving away fast enough for Clark. She said she decided to just walk by them – closer than the recommended safety distance. She was recording the moment on her smartphone.

    In her video, Clark can be heard saying, “Thank you, I appreciate it” as she passes the animals.

    Things got dangerous very quickly when one of the agitated bison took notice. “When I saw him turn, it’s like instantly I knew he was gonna come after me.”

    And that’s exactly what the bison did. Once it charged, the large mammal was upon Clark within two seconds despite her frantic attempt to flee.

    “It was so fast. He hit me in the back, rammed me, hooked me, then flipped me up and face forward into the mesquite bush.”

    And there was Clark. Gored, bleeding and alone. How would she survive?
