在这个视频中，魏泰德牧师谈到了如何向城市布道，特别是我们如何将福音带给其中的居民。

东北塔附楼是纽约市新开放的住房。复临信徒参与了该项目，帮助社区中最弱势的群体。

更重要的是，在开幕式期间，政府和民间团体领导在场，志愿者们抓住机会与他们分享了我们的使命和愿景。诚然，帮助有需要的人是我们作为基督复临安息日会信徒的核心。

多年来，世界上大部分的人口都涌向大城市。因此，上帝呼召我们去城市传福音。几年前，我们重新强调了“城市布道”的使命。今天，我们在推进福音工作的同时也需要强调城市布道。

在《医疗布道论》第304页，怀爱伦写道：“上帝在过去所发的信息并没有改变，城市的工作现在是很重要的。当我们按照上帝的指示为城市工作时，就会形成一个我们从来没有见过的强大的运动。”

有了这个信息，我们需要在圣灵的指引下，在圣灵里作准备。当我们作城市布道工作时，我们需要祈求圣灵晚雨的沛降。而这一切只有通过复兴和改革才能实现。除此之外，我们还需要以祷告和信心顺服上帝的圣言与预言之灵。

牧师和平信徒也需要一同参与其中。正如预言之灵所提到的，我们还需要与医药布道相结合，正如“基督把传道和医病结合一起”。在我们各提名组织和事工部门的支持下，我们才能取得灵命上的胜利。

能够完成这项任务的大能不是来自人、委员会组织或政策的实施，而是来自上帝的圣言、预言之灵、圣灵与不驻地祷告。

我们共同的信息在于新耶路撒冷。当耶稣荣入圣城时，祂看着耶路撒冷城，并为之哀哭“巴不得你在这日子知道关系你平安的事，无奈这事现在是隐藏的，叫你的眼看不出来。”(路19:41-42)

耶稣是为当时的耶路撒冷居民而哀哭。具体来说，他们缺乏对上帝之爱、救恩和圣言的回应。同样的，我们是否在为这个世界城市里的人们哀哭？如今正是悲伤之时！

因此，愿我们恳求圣灵来指引我们完成上帝交付给我们的任务。让我们献身于祂的计划中，为祂尽可能多地靠近人们。

Cities [How Can We Reach People and Bring Them God’s Message] – Pastor Ted Wilson

In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about reaching the cities, specifically how we can bring God’s message to their dwellers.

Northeastern Towers Annex is a newly opened housing facility in New York City. Seventh-day Adventists get involved in this project by ministering to the community’s most vulnerable settlers.

More so, with the presence of government and civic leaders during the opening, the volunteers grabbed the opportunity to share with them our mission and vision. True enough, being of help to people in need is core to who we are as Seventh-day Adventists.

Over the years, much of the world’s population has gone to the world’s large cities. With this, God is calling us to reach them. Some years ago, we placed a renewed emphasis on Mission to the Cities. We need this same emphasis today as we move forward with the work.

In Medical Ministry, p. 304, Ellen White wrote, “There is no change in the messages that God has sent in the past. The work in the cities is the essential work for this time. When the cities are worked as God would have them, the result will be the setting in operation of a mighty movement such as we have not yet witnessed.”

With this message, we have to prepare spiritually, guided by the Holy Spirit. As we work for the cities, let us pray for the latter rain to fall in abundance. However, we can only accomplish it through revival and reformation. Aside from this, we have to submit to God’s Word and the Spirit of Prophecy with prayer and faith.

Also, we need our pastors and laypeople. As indicated by the Spirit of Prophecy, we even have to work with health professionals in a “blended ministry.” With the support of our denominational organizations and ministries, we can win souls.

Now, the power to accomplish this task does not come from human beings, committees, or policies. Instead, it is in God’s Word, Spirit of Prophecy, Holy Spirit, and diligent prayer.

Our united message is that of New Jerusalem. During His triumphal entry, Jesus saw the old city and wept over it. “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42).

Jesus’ sadness was for the people of Jerusalem. Specifically, they lacked responsiveness to His love, salvation, and Word. Likewise, are we weeping for the people in the cities of this world? The time to grieve is now!

As such, let us plead for the Holy Spirit to guide us in accomplishing the task God has entrusted us. Let us dedicate ourselves to His plan, reaching as many souls as possible for Him.
