後面有一個團隊，我才走得遠

我想先說我自己。Let me start with myself.

我走的是往前線去的那條路。可是我越走越清楚，能走多遠，從來不是我一個人的事。The road I walk is the one that goes out to the front. But the farther I go, the clearer it becomes: how far I can go was never about me alone.

這支影片，是 Michael Chin——從第一天起就和我同行的同伴——被問到他在大使命裡承擔哪一個角色。This video is Michael Chin—a companion who has walked with me since day one—being asked which role he carries in the Great Commission.

他和 Joanna 是一對夫妻。每次我回來，他們都接待我，也用奉獻差派我。He and Joanna are a couple. Every time I come back, they welcome me into their home, and they send me out with their giving.

他先很誠實地說，往外走的那種人——Goer——其實是他心裡最羨慕的。He says, very honestly, that the kind of person who goes out—the Goer—is the one he most admires in his heart.

他說：「說真的，我心裡是非常羨慕能夠成為 Goer。」In his own words: "I really do admire the Goer."

然後他沒有停在羨慕裡。他說，看看現在整個環境，他很清楚自己此刻的位置，就是接待的人、差派的人。Then he did not stay in the admiring. He says, looking at the whole season we are in, he knows his place right now—he is the one who welcomes, the one who sends.

他從大使命說起——主在馬太福音的最後，吩咐我們要使萬民作祂的門徒。他說，在同一個大使命裡，每個人承擔的角色不一樣：有差派的、有接待的、有往外走的、有動員的。He pointed to the Great Commission: to make disciples of all nations. He says that within the one same commission, each person carries a different role—some send, some welcome, some go, some mobilize.

聽他這樣分，我心裡很安靜。這四個角色，是同一個身體上不同的肢體，彼此之間沒有高低。As I listened to him lay it out, my heart grew quiet. These four roles are different members on one same body, with no higher or lower among them.

他也提到，往外走這件事，他和 Joanna 若沒有同心，是走不出去的。He also said that going out is not something he can do unless he and Joanna are of one heart.

他說：「你沒有同心是不可能走的，真的是走不出去。」In his own words: "Without being of one heart, you simply cannot go—you really cannot get out the door."

他這句話，我聽見的是一個保護。In that line, what I heard was a protection.

往外走的人，不能一個人偷偷出發。要往前線去，得先有一圈人跟你同心，這一圈人，就是把你送到工場的那條路。The one who goes cannot slip out alone. To reach the front, there must first be a circle of people of one heart with you, and that circle is the very road that carries you to the field.

我自己這些年能專心參與一場又一場的服事，是因為每次回來，都有人把家為我預備好，讓我沒有後顧之憂。The reason I could give myself, season after season, to the work, is that every time I came back, someone had a home ready for me, so that I carried no worry behind me.

他在訪談裡講了一句話，我抄了下來。他說，是這個家裡的一份子，就該做這個家裡的事。He said a line I wrote down. He says that one who belongs to the household simply does the household's work.

他說：「你希望享受王子的福利，但是也有王子的責任。」In his own words: "You want to enjoy the privileges of a prince—but there are also the responsibilities of a prince."

然後他拿起麥克風，為我這個往外走的人禱告。Then he picked up the microphone and prayed for me, the one who goes out.

他求主紀念前線的辛勞，幫助我的心智和身體都剛強；他求主讓他們能與我同行。He asked the Lord to remember the labor at the front, to strengthen both my mind and my body; he asked that they would be able to walk together with me.

他最後說的那句，我一直記得：The line he ended on, I keep remembering:

「我們在後面，也繼續的支持她，也讓她知道，在後面，我們是一個團隊。」In his own words: "We are behind her, and we keep supporting her, and we let her know—behind her, we are a team."

這就是 me 到 us 到 WE：往外走的我，和在後面守望的他們，本來就是同一個身體、同一條路上的人。This is me to us to WE: the me who goes out and the them who keep watch behind were always one body, people on one same road.

我能走得遠，是因為後面真的有一個團隊。I can go far because there really is a team behind me.
