聖誕佳音
聖誕節臨近,教會或福音機構忙個不停,舉辦大小不同的佈道會、感恩會為着要慶祝耶穌降世救人的佳音給"未得之民"。
上星期六,教會千多名信徒,老中青幼俱齊,分別到銅鑼灣、中環、金鐘、灣仔、深水埗、東涌街頭派聖誕禮物傳福音。或者你在當天見過我們這班紅軍--身穿教會的紅色風褸,在寒冷的天氣仍帶着真摯笑容的一大群人。在街頭傳福音,與保險或傳銷cold call一樣,在短短的一刻要一個行踪怱怱的途人停下來,聽你說福音,繼而打開一個陌生人的心扉,並不是伴易事!
- 那天,我在金鐘地鐵站附近與三位拍檔派禮物。人生百態、盡入眼簾:
途人對這份愛的禮物(一份包裝精美的禮物包:內有朱古力、佈事貼、見証集、教会簡介、12月24日佈道会的邀請咭)的反應是:禮貌地拒絕、絕大都份當你冇到、懷疑地看着你、先遲疑後接受、問你是甚麼、是否要錢、茫然地接受、欣然接受,也有極少數的人可以談到幾句。不過,這些反應,也是人之常情。可是香港人缺少的是笑容,在街頭駐足兩個小時,看到的都是一張張沒有表情、惡形惡相、緊繃着的臉孔.......。 - 有趣的是,如果街頭派紙巾、衛生巾,途人不分性別年紀,會爭相去攞。我的組長在地鉄站前,幾箱禮物放在附近,途人反而主动走過去攞,或者他似派commerical items,人的心態,真的有趣!
- 易地而處是自我省察及改善的好機會。我在街頭拒接單張或填問卷時,我会微笑及禮貌地拒絕,经此一役,我會多一點明白那些派單張的人,為何像機械人一般。曰後,不論我接受或拒絕街頭物品,我都會報以更大的笑容,並說句祝福你!
好消息是星期六的派禮物睦隣行動,共有500多人願意接受耶穌成為救主。我們向着12月24日,在香港會議展覽中心的佈道會及子夜崇拜進發!

About "在街頭接單張", I have this naive action on the street.
I tried to get more sheets from he or she, my simple logic was, IF I got more, then he or she could finish earlier they could go home EARLIER especially in the HOT summer or COLD winter.
But these people mostly ignoring my little kindness.
Remark: yes, I knew this was not environmental friendly TOO.

Neither right nor wrong. I prefer not to accept the leaflets because I dun need such inf, e.g. menu of 茶餐廳、discount coupons of babab,.....etc. You are good-hearted.

I never try giving out leaflets on the street. It's not an easy task, even though I am a sales.

Merry Christmas!
It is not easy (both mental and physical) to distribute leaflets. Imagine if you see someone you known when you on the street. But for religious propose, that is a different story...
