亲爱的基督复临安息日会职工及教友们:
耶稣再来是我们一切的盼望.
为了促使他更快地回来,
我们的教会及教友们已经建立了上千个网站来传扬福音.
由於有太多的网站,
各自为政,
按自己的方法去做,
不免有些问题存在.
在此我们愿意提出一些建议及提供一些问题的解决方法.
现有网站的缺点:
-
很多教会的网站与商业性的网站有合约关系.
他们通常都不是基督徒.
商业形式的网站通常都非常注重包装,
配上很
"劲"
的音乐,
有闪耀的图标
(与崇敬真神不很相配),
有隐藏的按钮,
等等.
在这些网站浏览如入迷宫,
很易迷失.
很多我们的网站，只有很少的传福音价值.
-
有些网站只是告示牌而已.
-
有些教会的网站附属於商业的网站,
这些商业网站可能是推广一些东西,
与我们的信仰和教规相违背.
(我曾探访过很多我们教会的网站,
其中有些突然出现一个小窗,
提供你射击猴子的游戏,
可让你赢取二十元的奖金.
另一个则引导你网上玩纸牌.).
-
很多网站的名称非常难记.
-
有太多重覆网站使分散人数,
就如一个大家庭被分成数群的人一样.
我们的建议:
-
建立一个命名的系统.
例如:
http://your
language.adventist.org/
http://education.yourlanguage.adventist.org/
-
可以用中文,韩文,日文,英文,法文,等代入.
例如我们的
中文网站是 http://chinese.adventist.org/
韩文网站是 http://korean.adventist.org/
用这命名系统的好处是当你为其中之一网站作宣传,同时也可为全球我们教会的一切网站作宣传.
-
网站不应有国界,
因为互联网是无国界的.
我们应该用语言来作区别,
因为有许多人不能突破语言的藩篱.
-
所有教会中之教友及慕道友,都应该运用上帝所赐的才干,参与传福音工作,而无需具备电脑知识.
-
每一种语言网站可委任一组志愿人员来管理.
这些志愿人士可以分散在不同国家,但使用共同语言.
人们可以使用今日的科技通过互联网来一同工作.
-
向教友们提供如何使用电邮来传福音的训练.
-
向教友们提供如何建立自己语言网站的训练.
-
挑选一些志愿人士,向他们提供如何管理伺服器的训练.
-
使用我们自己的伺服器以减轻运作费用.这样将会有无限的磁碟空间来提供多媒体福音广播.
-
建立互联网广播及训练总部.建议地点设在加拿大多伦多邻近天虹体育馆之雍景豪城.
这些公寓有光纤等高科技设施.
-
如何获得金钱来发展如此庞大的计划?
 由志愿人士来建立网站,所节省的金钱可用来购置设备.
只需一个域名经己足够.这样可以省回数以千计之不必要的注册费用.
使用自己的伺服器较租用提供互联网服务商的磁碟空间节省许多金钱.
剩馀的磁碟空间及频道可出租作商业之用.
剩馀的人力可为别人建立网站以作商业之用.
可以接受教育,健康及毕业同学会等之广告.
在购物网站我们可以推广健康食品、圣经、书籍、录音带等之货品.
-
在各洲设立多个副网站，可以使各处的人易於进入我们的网站及避免阻滞.
若有任何伺服器受损毁或阻滞,不同地区之另一伺服器便会立即补替.
-
所有现存的网站都可免费给与一个新名,旧名可以同时使用一段时间直至更改完成及满意为止.
-
将重覆的网站连结起来,
使人们彼此生活得更紧密而不被分隔.
-
我们将选用网上最隹的讲道,以制作一张50小时的多媒体雷射光碟.这光碟将免费分赠人们.若大量制作,每张光碟之制作费,只需美金几角钱而已.
-
为那些不使用电脑的人,我们将制作一套74分钟的普通声音光碟.
-
这些光碟可以复制成不同语言版本,以方便他们聆听.
互联网之好处:
-
自从我们的网站开设之后,我们体会到教友们更有兴趣聆听真理，更认真参与事奉，无论在讲道、音乐、儿童故事等都尽力提高水准，表现得最好，以便更有效地在互联网上广传福音.
-
全世界教友之间的关系将逐渐变得密切,更容易联络交通,因为在网上再无国界分隔.
-
已退休的牧师重新变得活跃.他们会意识到在互联网上,仍有人会聆听他们的讲道.
-
减少宗派间之误解,让他们也能听到我们的讲道,明白我们的道理,消除不必要的误会.
-
有人住在远方,不方便到教会,他们可以在家聆听我们的讲道和布道会.
-
藉着互联网,我们亦可足不出户向人传福音.
-
可增加教友人数.
-
可增加教会的捐款.
-
教友会更加努力合作.
-
残障的人不方便到教会,亦可在家中参与安息日的崇拜.
愿上帝赐福你们各人.

Dear
SDA staff & members,
Jesus return is all our hope.
In order to quicken his return, our
church members have already built
thousands of Internet sites to spread
Gospel. Because of too many sites
around, every body is doing on their
own way. We would like to give some
suggestion and solutions in here.
Bad
points about present sites:
-
Many church sites are
contracted to commercial site builder.
They are usually not Christian.
Commercial style sites usually are
very cosmetics; it has active music,
flashing icons (which is not too
respecting to God), hidden buttons,
etc. Browsers went into these game sites can
get lost easily as in a maze. Many of
our sites have little Gospel value.
-
Some sites are just a bulletin
board.
-
Some site are attached to
commercials, they could be marketing
something, which do not agree with our
doctrine. (I have accessed many of our
church sites which can pop out a small
window to offer you a monkey shooting
game to win $20, or an on line poker
game)
-
Many sites have names which are
too difficulty to remember.
-
There are just too many
repeated sites. Repeated site can
separate people similar to split a
family into several group.
Our
proposal:
-
Create a site naming system.
Such as
http://your_language.adventist.org/,
http://education.your_language.adventist.org/. The word "your language" will be
replaced by the word such as Chinese, Korean, English, French, and so on.
Take for example: Chinese website: http://chinese.adventist.org/
or Korean website: http://korean.adventist.org/
Advantage of using
this naming system is when we
advertise for our site, one line will
be good for the whole world's site.
-
Sites should not have country
border, because Internet have no
border. We should use only language to
distinguish our differences, because many people cannot break through the language
barrier.
-
All church members and
non-member should use their gifted
talent to participate. No knowledge on
computer is required.
-
Each language site will appoint
a group of volunteer to manage it.
These volunteers could be dispersed in
different countries, but speaking a
common language. People can work
together through Internet with
nowadays technology.
-
Provide training to church
members how to utilize Email to spread
Gospel.
-
Provide training to volunteer
members to make sites of their own
languages.
-
Provide training to selected
volunteers to run web servers.
-
Run our own server to reduce
operating cost. It will have unlimited
disk space to accommodate multimedia
evangelism broadcast.
-
Establish an Internet broadcast
and training head quarter. Proposed
site is on Cityplace, near Skydome,
Toronto, Canada. These apartment
buildings have state of the art
technology facilitate with fiber
optics.
-
How to obtain money for such a
big project?
Volunteers
will build the sites. Money saved
by not paying professional can be
used to purchase hardware.
Only
one domain name is required, money
will be saved on eliminating
thousands of un-necessary
registration.
Running
our own server can cut cost on
leasing disk space from ISP.
Surplus
disk space, and bandwidth can be
leased to commercial.
Surplus
labor can be used to build website
for commercial.
Commercial
advertising is acceptable to
education, health, and alumni
site.
We
can market health food, bible,
books, videotapes, etc in the
shopping site.
-
Multiple mirror sites and
server will be run in every continent,
to provide easier access and to
prevent blockade. Server in
different location will replace
blocked server instantly.
-
Provide free name server
service to all existing site. All
existing sites will have new names,
while the old names will still be
valid for a very long time until
change over complete and satisfactory.
-
Link repeated sites together,
such that people can live closer
together rather than being separated.
-
On selecting the best sermon in
the site. We will make a 50-hour
multimedia CD. This CD will be
distributed free. If produce large quantity, the cost of producing such a CD is
only US$0.40 each.
-
For people who do not use
computer, we will produce a 74 min
audio CD for them.
-
These CD will be reproduced in
different languages.
Advantages
of Internet:
-
After our
website has been
launched. We have already experienced
church members are competing for
the truth in the bible and quality of
performance. They understand
performing well on the sermon, music,
children story, etc., will be more effective to spread the gospel in the Internet.
-
Church members feel closer
relationship all over the world
because there is no longer a country
border.
-
Retired Pastors has become
active again, because they realized their sermons will been listened in the
Internet.
-
Reduce misunderstanding between
nominations. Other nominations can
hear our sermons and understand our
doctrine.
-
People who are inconvenient to
the church, they will be able to
visit our evangelism at home.
-
We can spread Gospel through
Internet without
leaving home.
-
Increase church membership.
-
Church offerings increased.
-
Church members are more
co-operating.
-
Disabled person will no longer
miss the Sabbath Worship.
May
God bless all of you.
Yours faithfully
Michael Tung
