角聲基金會

21世紀天災人禍頻繁發生，主再來的預兆顯露無遺。「角聲基金會」，是「角聲」建立的全球關懷網，目的為回應時代需要，在災難中顯示神的愛，在黑暗中散發人性光輝。

角聲基金會在2006年設立，18年來，從事很多大型災難賑災活動，包括中國的汶川、玉樹大地震；日本、海地、尼泊爾、土耳其大地震等賑災活動。其餘水災、火災等賑災工程，難以盡述。此外，中國兒童之家；《號角月報‧愛心匯點》的助學工程、山區送暖、公益服務、修建學校、道路、衛生所等扶貧項目，都是在角聲基金會旗下進行的。

每一次賑災，都是一場觸目驚心的行動。基金會的「賑災英雄」李偉強牧師，去年代表「角聲」到土耳其慰問災民。他報導說：

「土耳其的重災區，是初期教會，耶穌的門徒首次被稱為『基督徒』的安提阿。很多來自世界各地的基督徒，竭心盡力幫助災民。以至當地流行著一句話，『如果需要幫忙，你可以去找基督徒！』更有不少災民問：『我們哪裡可以找到土耳其文的《聖經》？』『我們可以受洗嗎？』這深深觸動我的心靈！」

基督徒的愛心行動，化作了光和熱，讓受助者感到溫暖，吸引他們信靠耶穌。有一位年輕貌美的教會姊妹，在她的婚禮上作見證：「我曾是個先天性心臟病兒童，我還是小孩子的時候，已病入膏肓。是角聲基金會出資，為我做了心臟矯正手術，讓我健健康康活到如今；也吸引了我信靠耶穌，成為天國的子民！」

但願未來，角聲基金會從事更多慈善工作，讓人間充滿愛和溫情！

In the 21st century, frequent natural and man-made disasters clearly reveal the signs of the Lord’s return. The Herald Foundation is a global care network established by CCHC to respond to the needs of our times, demonstrating God’s love amid disasters and radiating compassion in the darkness.

The Herald Foundation was established in 2006 and, over the past 18 years, has been involved in numerous major disaster relief efforts, including relief activities for the Wenchuan and Yushu earthquakes in China, the earthquakes in Japan, Haiti, Nepal, Turkey, and others. Numerous other relief projects, such as those for floods and fires, are too numerous to list. Additionally, charitable projects under the Herald Foundation’s umbrella include the Children Homes in China, the “Herald Monthly Love Focus” scholarship program, love of acts to mountainous regions, community services, school construction, road building, and the establishment of clinics.

Each disaster relief effort has been a gripping and intense operation. Rev. David Lee, the Foundation’s “Disaster Relief Hero,” went to Turkey last year on behalf of CCHC to comfort disaster victims. He reported:

“The severely affected area in Turkey is Antioch, where the early church was first established, and where Jesus’ disciples were first called ‘Christians.’ Many Christians from all over the world are doing their utmost to help the victims. There is even a saying in the area: ‘If you need help, go to find a Christian!’ Many disaster victims also asked, ‘Where can we find a Bible in Turkish?’ or ‘Can we be baptized?’ These deeply touched my heart!”

The compassionate actions of Christians have transformed into light and warmth, bringing comfort to those in need and drawing them to trust in Jesus. In recent years, a young and beautiful church sister testified at her wedding, saying, “I was born with a congenital heart defect and was critically ill as a child. The Herald Foundation funded my corrective heart surgery, allowing me to live a healthy life to this day. This also drew me to trust in Jesus and become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven!”

May the Herald Foundation continue to engage in more charitable work in the future, filling the world with love and warmth!
