Short Term Missions Trips
In following the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations, we welcome followers of Jesus Christ from all backgrounds to join us on this journey.
為了履行主耶稣的大使命，使萬民作主的門徒。我們歡迎來自各背景的基督徒加入我們的旅程。
Each year, CIM Canada sends a few teams of short-term missionaries to support the Evangelical Church of Ghana (ECG), Eglise de la Grace en Christ (EGCT) in Togo and House of Mercy Foundation in Ukraine with local ministries. Although these trips are short term, our continual partnership has created long-term relationship with the locals.
In partnering with the local church, our hope is to encourage people to return to church and to share the gospel message with people who have not heard it before. By the grace of God, many have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus as the Lord and Saviour through these interactions! People are amazed that foreigners have come such a long distance to tell them the Good News. Not only does this connect interested individuals to the church, but it is a great encouragement for the local pastors as well.
Finally, we go on short term missions (STMs) to learn from our brothers and sisters in Ghana, Togo and Ukraine. We go there not necessarily because we "have" something to give/help them with, but because we can enrich each other's lives as we share the Lord's blessings and lessons with one another. Many would testify that they have received more from our counterparts than they themselves have offered by going on a missions trip. A major part in what we could "offer" is to watch and learn — to absorb and to listen. After, we hope you can share their stories with your friends and family and to encourage them to participate in this ministry.
每年，加拿大CIM都會差派幾隊短期宣教團隊，到達迦納的福音派教會（ECG），多哥的Eglise de la Grace en Christ（EGC）和烏克蘭的恩慈之家, 支持他們推動福音事工。儘管這些旅程是短暫，但我們不斷的與當地人夥伴合作，早與他們建立了一份持久的關係。
我們與當地教會合作，鼓勵當地信徒返回教堂，並向從未聽過福音的人分享福音訊息。藉着上主的恩典，許多人聽到福音見証，經歷到聖靈的感動，就承認了自己的罪過，接受主耶穌作為救主！ 當地人得知短宣隊走這麼長的路，專程來向他們分享好訊息，往往感到驚訝。這不僅使有興趣的人與教會聯繫起來，對當地的牧師, 信徒也是極大的鼓勵。
終於，我們走上短期宣教(STM)的旅程, 向迦納，多哥和烏克蘭的弟兄姐妹學習。我們去不一定是因為我們“有”甚麽可以給予/幫助他們，而是因為當我們彼此分享主的祝福和教導時，我們也同時豐富了彼此的生命。許多短宣隊員都可以見證，他們從短宣當地所獲得的比他們以為能夠做或能夠給的更多。
重要的是我們要觀察和學習，吸收和傾聽。後語，我們希望您可以與您的朋友及家人分享當地人的故事，藉此鼓勵更多人參加這個短期福音宣教團隊。
