賞電影獻愛心

「黃金花」 (English version below)

加拿大中信是一間強調全人關懷的基督教福音機構。基於愛鄰舍的精神，我們的城市宣教事工, 主要集中在關懷及幫助社區裡有困難的個人和家庭。其中包括老弱群體、危疾病人，鰥寡及特殊需要兒童及其家庭等。近年, 我們在温哥華和卡加利亦開展多項支援自閉症兒童及其家庭的事工.

為了喚起公眾對有特殊需要的兒童及其家庭的關注, 在六、七月份, 我們特別籌辦在加東西兩岸五個城市, 舉行香港電影「黃金花」的首影及福音訊息分享。目的在透過個案式的影片內容，讓公眾得以真實了解和體會到這些有自閉症兒童家庭, 每日所面對的實際掙扎和挑戰，從而提升對這些家庭的同理心，增強包容與接納能力。

我們更希望通過此片，帶動公眾進行反思；與我們攜手努力，用不同的途徑，與有特殊需要的兒童及其家庭呼吸相通; 以基督的愛與他們同笑、同哭、同行，恩慈相待，全然接納，彼此建立。

愛鄰舍, 是每一個耶穌基督跟随者的尊貴使命. 我們願意與眾教會和弟兄姊妹, 攜手關愛我們的鄰舍, 將賜人平安的福音, 傳揚到每一個角落.

CCM Canada is a Christian organization that emphasizes holistic care for the community.  Based on the spirit of 'loving thy neighbour', our urban mission ministry focuses on caring and helping the needy, whether as individuals or entire families.  These include the old, the critically ill, widows and widowers, and families with special needs children.  Over the last few years, CCM Centres in Vancouver and Calgary have launched programs to support autistic children and their families.

To draw attention to these community needs, CCM Canada is hosting premiere screenings of the Hong Kong film “Tomorrow is Another Day,” in June and July across five cities on both coasts in conjunction with a sharing of the Gospel. Through this film, we hope the public can better understand the daily struggles and challenges facing families with autistic children; in the aims of boosting public empathy, tolerance, and support for them.

We also hope that the film will serve as a starting point for the public to reflect and come collaborate with us; to try to connect with special needs children and their families through different avenues.  We want the community to treat them kindly; to laugh, cry and walk with them; and to build up one another with total acceptance.

To love our neighbours is a noble mission for every follower of Christ.  We look to join hands with brothers and sisters in all churches to care for our neighbours and to bring the Gospel of peace to every corner.
