Huduma ya Vyombo vya Habari ya Kizazi Kipya cha Marafiki<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Tangu kuwasili kwa wafanyakazi wa kwanza kama wauzaji wa nyumba kwa nyumba wa vitabu na karatasi za kidini wakisafiri katika eneo lote la Guatemala, harakati za Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki imeendelea kusonga mbele bila kusimama. Tunawakumbuka vijana wawili wa kwanza, Thomas T. Kelly na Clark T. Buckley, ambao walipanda mbegu za kwanza za injili katika nchi za mashariki. Kuwasili kwao Chiquimula kunakukumbusha kuingia kwa injili katika mji wa Filipi, pamoja na kudhihirishwa kwa nguvu ya kuhubiri ili kuwaweka huru, ambayo ilisababisha kufungwa gerezani kama ilivyosimuliwa katika Matendo 16. Vijana Kelly na Buckley walifungwa vivyo hivyo, ingawa baadaye waliwekwa huru ili kuendelea na safari yao ya kuinjilisha. <\/p>\n\n

Katika miaka 123 tangu Marafiki wa kwanza kuingia Guatemala, kanisa limepitia hatua tofauti ambapo Mungu amezaa matunda, kuumba tabia, na kuruhusu maendeleo ya injili. Tangu mwanzo wake, Kanisa la Marafiki lilianzishwa katika mkoa wa kaskazini mashariki wa nchi, hasa katika mji wa Chiquimula, ukawa kituo cha kimkakati cha mafunzo ambapo injili ilienea hadi mikoa mingine, pia ikifikia Honduras ya magharibi na El Salvador. Mwanzoni, safari zilifanywa kwa nyuma za nyumbu kutokana na ukosefu wa njia za barabara. <\/p>\n\n

Hivi karibuni haja ya nyenzo za maandishi ikawa dhahiri. Hivyo, mashine ya kuchapisha ya kwanza katika mkoa wa kaskazini mashariki wa nchi ilianzishwa, ambapo ripoti zilizotumwa kwa mkutano wa kila mwaka uliowasaidia zilichapishwa, pamoja na vitabu vidogo vya kwanza vya kufundisha. <\/p>\n\n

Tangu 1921, wakati mhubiri Emma Burk Stanton alipokuwa na maono ya kuanzisha Colegio Biblico (Shule ya Biblia), kama ilivyoitwa mwanzoni, mafunzo ya wafanyakazi kwa mavuno mengi hayajasimama. Zaidi ya hayo, shule za msingi na sekondari zimeanzishwa, ambapo maelfu ya watoto na vijana kutoka sehemu zote za nchi wamepata elimu. Moja ya hizi ni Shule ya Wainjilisti Marafiki, yenye zaidi ya miaka 100 ya elimu bila kukatika. <\/p>\n\n

Injili imeenea kupitia familia na watu binafsi kwa kiwango ambacho sasa kuna waumini, viongozi, na wafanyakazi kutoka kizazi cha tatu na cha nne ambao wanaendelea kama wafuasi waaminifu wa Kristo. Mimi mwenyewe ni mchungaji wa kizazi cha tatu katika familia ambapo babu yangu alianzisha mkutano wa kila mwezi katika kijiji cha Bethel, Gual\u00e1n, Jimbo la Zacapa, ambao alikuwa mchungaji wake hadi siku ya kifo chake. <\/p>\n\n

Wazazi wangu walipokea ushuhuda wa injili na walikufa wakiikiri. Mama yangu alifunzwa kama mfanyakazi katika Chuo cha Berea katika miaka ya 1950 na alihudumu kama mchungaji kwa zaidi ya miaka 30 katika kanisa ambalo babu yangu wa kiume alianzisha. Maisha yake yaliathiri maelfu kwa sababu alikuwa na elimu ya msingi (darasa la 1\u20136) na mafunzo ya kiteolojia. Pia alifunzwa kama mhamasishaji wa afya na alifanya kazi hii kwa uaminifu nyumbani kwake, akiwatunza mamia ya watu walioathiriwa na malaria. Babu yangu Benito Leiva aliamini injili kupitia kuhubiri kwa mhubiri mchanga Bi. Ruth Esther Smith, mmoja wa wanawake wa utangulizi ambaye Mungu alimtumia kuanzisha makanisa nchini Guatemala, Honduras, na El Salvador. Hivyo, tuna athari ya kizazi ambazo zimekuwa endelevu. <\/p>\n\n

Kwa msaada wa kizazi cha wahubiri wanaume na wanawake ambao walikuja kutoka California Kusini kama wafanyakazi, walimu, waanzilishi wa makanisa, na waelimishaji, kizazi cha kwanza cha viongozi katika mkoa wa kaskazini mashariki wa nchi kiliundwa (Chiquimula, Zacapa, Izabal, Pet\u00e9n, na Jiji la Guatemala). Haikuwa hadi miaka ya 1960 ambapo uamuzi ulifanywa wa kuanza makanisa katika mji mkuu, kutokana na heshima kwa makubaliano yaliyofanywa na madhehebu mengine ya utangulizi yaliyoitwa Mkataba wa Ushirikiano, ulioanzishwa mwanzoni mwa karne ya ishirini. Wapresbyterian, Wamarekani wa Kati, Wanazarene, na Marafiki waligawanya nchi ili kuifikia kwa mbegu nzuri ya injili. Kwa kuwa Marafiki tayari walikuwa wakifanya kazi kaskazini mashariki, mkoa huo uliwekewa. Sisi tulikuwa wa mwisho kuondoka eneo lililotengwa, ndiyo maana ukuaji umekuwa mkubwa zaidi katika mkoa wa kaskazini mashariki na kando ya mipaka yake na El Salvador na Honduras. Kwa sasa, tuna mikutano ya kila mwezi karibu 280 na idadi ya watu karibu 13,000 hadi 14,000 nchini Guatemala peke yake, kulingana na ripoti ya mdomo katika kipindi cha Mkutano wa Kila Mwaka wa 2025). <\/p>\n\n

Marafiki wameendelea kusonga mbele, wakizidisha njia za kuhubiri na kufundisha. Shule ya Marafiki ina zaidi ya wanafunzi elfu moja walioandikishwa. Tangu miaka ya 1980, Radio Cultural Amigos imepanua juhudi zake kuimarisha ufikio wake kupitia programu. Mkutano wa kwanza wa kila mwezi katika mji wa Chiquimula, El Tabern\u00e1culo, unaendeshea kituo cha Amigos TV, chenye programu za kila siku zinazofika maelfu ya nyumba kupitia watoa huduma za nyaya nchini Guatemala. Aina zote zinazopatikana za vyombo vya habari zinatumiwa kutangaza injili ya ufalme kwa mataifa yote yanayowezekana. <\/p>\n\n

Je, kanisa la Marafiki leo ni jinsi gani? Kuna njia kadhaa za kujibu swali hili, lakini ningependa kushughulikia mbili kati yao. Katika miaka ya 1990, kanisa lilianza kuelewa kwamba uinjilisti wa ulimwengu ni wajibu ambao lazima tutimize. Njia hii ya kufikiri kuhusu utume wa Mungu ilikuja kama matokeo ya kongamano linalojulikana kama COMIBAM ’87, ambapo iliamriwa kwamba Amerika ya Kilatini haitakuwa tena ”uwanja wa uinjilisti bali nguvu ya kiinjili.” <\/p>\n\n

Maono haya yalizua msisitizo ambao uliwahimiza Marafiki nchini Guatemala kuchukua jukumu la kuhubiri injili kutoka Guatemala hadi miisho ya dunia. Hadi miaka ya 1990, kanisa lilikuwa limeonyesha shauku kubwa na kujitolea kwa kuinjilisha ndani ya nchi, na kusababisha kupandwa kwa makanisa mengi. Lakini sasa msisitizo mpya uliongezwa: kwenda zaidi ya Guatemala hadi ulimwengu mzima, kutoka ndani hadi kikabila. Tulianza kwa kuanzisha makanisa nchini Nicaragua kama juhudi za kwanza. Kwa sasa, kuna makanisa manne yaliyopangwa huko na mashamba kadhaa ya kuhubiri kwa ajili ya kuanzisha mikutano mipya ya kila mwezi. Juhudi hii ilifanywa kwa ushirikiano na makanisa ya Marafiki nchini El Salvador na Honduras. <\/p>\n\n

Baada ya karibu miaka mitano ya kazi nchini Nicaragua, iliamua kukubali watu wa Khmer nchini Cambodia, ambapo familia ya kwanza ilitumwa mnamo 2003, na familia za ziada kujiunga miaka minne baadaye. Mungu amebariki kuhubiri, na mikutano miwili ya kila mwezi na mashamba kadhaa ya kuhubiri yameanzishwa. Fahamu ya kimisionari inaendelea kuimarika, na tumesonga mbele ya hatua ya kutegemea wengine kutekeleza tume kwa mataifa yote. Hii imechukua karibu miaka 25 ya kazi. Msisitizo huu mpya wa kimisionari umetuongoza kufikiria upya mafunzo ya wafanyakazi, kwani mabadiliko yanahitaji zana mpya. Swali la kizazi kipya cha wafanyakazi linatuongoza kuuliza ni nani wapandaji wapya ambao Mungu atawainua. Bwana wa mavuno ametuambia kwamba kuna wafanyakazi wachache zaidi kuliko inavyohitajika, lakini kuna daima wengine ambao Mungu amewaandaa kukusanya mavuno katika hatua hii mpya. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tumegundua kwamba kizazi kilichozaliwa miaka 40 hadi 50 iliyopita kinafika hatua ya kupitisha fimbo kwa kifuatacho. Sisi ambao tunajitenga tuna wasiwasi si tu kuhusu hali ya kanisa bali pia kuhusu mabadiliko ambayo ulimwengu umepitia, ambayo yameathiri muundo wa mwili wa Kristo kila mahali, pamoja na jamii yenyewe. Hatujihisi tayari kuacha kushikilia mpini wa kulima, lakini hakuna njia mbadala; lazima tufanye hivyo. Kizazi kijana kinajiandaa, ambacho uongozi wake utachukua hatua hii mpya. Kizazi kinachoondoka lazima kiwape nguvu, kuwathibitisha, na kuwajengea. Mengine yatafanywa na Mungu, ambaye anatembea na watu Wake, akiongoza hatua zao katika awamu hii mpya. <\/p>\n\n

Yesu alituambia kwamba ingawa wafanyakazi ni wachache, kuna daima wengine ambao Mungu anawaita, na kanisa lazima liwatayarishe ili injili isiyobadilika iweze kubebwa na wafanyakazi ambao wanaweza kubadilika kulingana na mabadiliko ya kizazi katika jamii na kanisa (Mathayo 9:35\u201337).<\/p>\n\n

Kizazi hiki kitakuwa na jukumu la kuchukua kile kilichopokelewa, kupatikana, na kuanzishwa, na kufanya kazi ili waweze kuwa mawakala wa mabadiliko yanayohitajika katika maisha ya watu. Hii ni mabadiliko ambayo yataathiri kwa kiasi kikubwa mazingira ya kijamii, ya ndani, na ya kimataifa. <\/p>\n\n

Ninagundua kwamba sikufikiri wakati huu ungekuja haraka hivyo, lakini tunaendelea kutumaini mpango wa ukombozi wa Bwana, kwani Yeye anaendelea kuandika hadithi ya watu Wake. Tunajaribiwa kufikiri kwamba haitakuwa sawa bila sisi, hata hivyo tunarudi kwa Yule ambaye amesema: ”Bwana, Wewe umekuwa makao yetu katika vizazi vyote. . . . maisha yetu ni kama jana ambayo imepita” (Zaburi 90:1, 4, Toleo Jipya la Kimataifa). Watu wa Bwana wataendelea katika ushindi hata katika mabonde ya kivuli na kifo, kwa sababu Mungu anawategemeza wale wanaomtumaini (Zaburi 23:4). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
