2022年4月16日,當我們慶祝主耶穌基督的死與復活時,主的忠心僕人陳摩西牧師安息主懷,享年80歲。
陳摩西牧師是溫哥華短宣中心的第一任董事,直到2018年因身體的緣故退任。在安息禮拜上,前短宣總幹事洪順強牧師稱他既是一位牧師,更是一位宣教士,有廣闊的宣教胸襟,對宣教的負擔及參與是不遺餘力的:一生中接待與支持來自不同國家的宣教士,支持汶萊本土的福音工作,支持福音廣播,支持印度教會,支持中國內地福音事工等。
陳牧師在宣教上有4個字,就是「近佈遠宣」,意思就是近處要佈道、遠處要宣教。30年前,香港短宣運動(Short Term Mission campaign)發起人之一的滕近輝牧師師母滕張佳音博士來到溫哥華,與一群牧者分享短宣運動,鼓勵信徒興起、遍傳福音、短期受訓、長期宣教。陳摩西牧師與幾位牧師非常支持,很快就成立董事會,開始推動這個信徒人人宣教運動。他常常說短宣培訓對教會很重要,我們要為教會培訓更多佈道人,帶動佈道熱。他的一生一直在踐行著這個從天上而來的異象和使命。
陳牧師打過了美好的仗,跑盡了當跑的路,守住了所信的道。我們仍要繼續廣傳福音,盡我們的職分做傳道的工夫,為要得著那存在天上的榮耀冠冕。
陳摩西牧師主懷安息,天家再相見。

[Good Questions] What is Truth?
“What is truth?” Pontius Pilate, the Governor who judged Jesus, had also asked this question. The Bible records that Pilate returned to the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
