错失了使命 │Missing the Mission (Simplified Chinese Discovery Series Booklet)

唯一经久不衰的事

 我们天生就是消费主义者。在这个并不舒适的世界上，我们追求使生活更舒适的事物与体验。但是，我们最深层的需要，唯有在耶稣里才可得着满足。在祂里面，我们可以确定自己的身分，找到安全感，并得享平安。我们身为上帝家中的一分子，让我们不要只坐在教堂的长椅上安逸度日，而是走出去，接触那些不断在寻找心灵满足的人，让他们能看见耶稣，明白唯有耶稣能满足他们。

方达宁牧师（Danny Frank）自2003年起，就在美国北卡罗来纳州德罕市的一间教会负责接待关怀的事工。他负责统管八个聚会点接待的工作，每个周末接触近九千人。他与妻子梅莉恩育有四个孩子，年纪从学龄前到大学不等。

The only thing that lasts.

Our lives are hardwired for consumerism. We pursue experiences and things that make our lives more comfortable in an uncomfortable world. Our deepest need, however, can only be satisfied in Jesus where we ultimately find our identity, security, and peace.  As a family of believers, let's not get comfortable in our pews.  Let's reach out to people who are searching for the "next thing" and show them Jesus—the only answer that satisfies.

Danny Franks has served as the Connections Pastor at the Summit Church in Durham, North Carolina, since 2003.  In that role he oversees the guest services process for eight campuses, reaching nearly 9,000 people each weekend.  He and his wife, Merriem, have four children ranging from preschool to college age.
