Marriage
OUR PURPOSE
building Christ-centred marriages
The family is God’s fundamental unit of church and society, founded on the marriage between one man and one woman. The Family Ministry aims to strengthen marriages and equip parents to build Christ-centred families in WEFC by empowering the older generation to teach the younger ones how to live godly lives in speech and conduct (Titus 2; 1 Timothy 3:12). At the same time, we seek to care for every member of our WEFC family, in growing together as one body in Christ.
家庭是建立于一男一女的婚姻基础上并组成 神的教会与社会的基本单位。兀兰播道会的家庭事工旨在于巩固婚姻并装备父母来建立以基督为中心的家；透过赋权与上一代来教导年青人在言语、行为上如何活出敬虔的生活。（提多书 2:1、提摩太后书 3:12）与此同时，我们力求关心每一个兀兰播道会的家庭，在基督里成长为一个身体。
Marriage is so much more than just “the two of us”. It is meant to be a picture of God’s covenant love for His Bride, the Church. It points us to the ultimate Love that was displayed on the cross, where Jesus Christ died to redeem sinners.
Are you and your spouse willing to let your marriage — imperfect as it is — point others to Christ? If you are eager to journey with other couples towards Christ-centred marriages, consider serving together as husband and wife. For both roles below, you need to be WEFC members who have been married for at least 10 years.
婚姻不只是“你我两个人”的事情。婚姻本身反映了 神对祂的新娘 — 教会 — 的圣约之爱。它指引我们仰望那完成了救赎之工、在十字架上为罪人而死的耶稣基督所彰显的大爱。
您和您的伴侣是否愿意用您们的婚姻 — 即使它不完美 — 来引导其他的情侣或已婚夫妇转向耶稣呢？如果您乐意与其他情侣分享如何迈向以基督为中心的婚姻生活，不妨考虑与您的伴侣一同参与这项服侍。有意参与以下两项服侍的弟兄姐妹必须是兀兰播道会的会友以及结婚至少十年。

Inasmuch as a healthy marriage is the backbone of a strong family, good parenting is an essential component of a thriving and Christ-centred family. As Christians, we recognise that our children are a gift from the Lord, and see our roles as stewards of the precious lives God has placed under our care. How can we best lead and nurture this next generation to become the men and women that God desires them to be?
It takes a village to raise a child, so let us be that “village” for one another. Both couples as well as individual WEFCers may serve in the following roles.
正如健康的婚姻是强大家庭的支柱，良好的教养模式对建立以基督为中心的家庭至关重要。身为基督徒，我们意识到孩子是上帝所赐予的礼物，祂赋予了我们照顾这宝贵生命的管家角色。我们要如何带领和培育下一代，以致他们成为合上帝心意的男人和女人？
非洲俗语说得好；“我们需要整个村庄来养育一个孩子。” 夫妻二人以及每一位兀兰播道会的弟兄姐妹都已赋予了这伟大的使命！

Whether you are single or married, we all need a community of like-minded brothers and sisters with whom we can enjoy authentic, life-giving friendship and accountability.
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
1 Corinthians 12:12-27 reminds us to especially take care of the most vulnerable parts of our body, such as the elderly among us, for “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” (v 26)
无论您是单身或已婚，我们都需要与一些志同道合的兄弟姐妹，共同建立真诚的、可信任的友谊关系和委身的属灵伙伴。
“我们又应该彼此关心，激发爱心，勉励行善。我们不可放弃聚会，好像有些人的习惯一样；却要互相劝勉。你们既然知道那日子临近，就更应该这样。” （希伯来书 10:24-25)
哥林多前书 12:12-27 提醒我们要特别照顾基督身体中最软弱的肢体，例如我们中间的长者，因为“如果一个肢体受苦，所有的肢体就一同受苦；如果一个肢体得荣耀， ” (第 26 节)
