The Global Mission Conference for the 10th Anniversary of KIMNET (Korean Inter Mission Net work) was hosted by Charlotte Presbyterian Church (formerly Korean Pres-byterian Church of Charlotte - Sr. Pastor Sung Kyun Na) on October 15 to October 21, 2012. The Conference was the fruit of prayer and hard work of Executive of Di-rector Rev. Il Sik Choe, Executive Secretary Rev. Hyun Suk Lee, Information Secretary Rev. Joseph Lee and Church Session led by Rev. Sung Kyun Na. The conference workshops were led by 50 Korean Missionaries from all six continents and 30 special guest speakers from all over the world. Those in attendance included over 300 ministers & workers for the Lord in the USA and Canada. In the past, these annual conferences were hosted by mega-churches like Grace Church (Senior Pastor Gihong Han) in Los Angeles with member-ship over 20,000. However, this year the conference was hosted by a small church, although it is the first Asian Church formed in Charlotte, as the theme for the 10th an-niversary conference was to focus on help-ing small to medium size churches become more mission-minded in order to fulfill the Great Commission. The opening night event featured two parts. The first worship part was highlighted by the introduction of Rev. Bang Ji Il, the first Korean missionary to China who is 102 years old. His opening message entitled “All to Glorify God” was clearly delivered. Considering he had flown in directly from Korea that day and the energy level in his strong tone of voice, it was hard to believe he was 102 years old. In addition to his opening night message, Reverend Bang maintained an attentive posture throughout all of the sessions during the week, making sure not to miss any workshops. The second part of opening night worship involved music and began with the “Angels Choir” from Moscow, Russia. They sang

Korean and English hymns very beauti-fully. Presider Rev. Ho, Sang Ki – President of KIMNET, was amazed at how well they could speak Korean and listeners were so moved by their beautiful voices that they said they sang just like Angels. The next act was Yu Myung Hae Korean Fusion Gospel Team that also came from Korea. The team of 12 performed traditional Korean danc-ing and music to a gospel message. They were very entertaining and they delivered their gospel message in a unique way. Next to perform was Jill Gardner who currently performs the leading soprano role in the op-era “TOSCA” for Opera Carolina, and was introduced by Maestro James Meena. She sang the Lord’s Prayer and was accompa-nied by the chief pianist Emily. When Jill Gardner finished singing the Lord’s Prayer, the audience all stood up and began singing the Lord’s Prayer together, thus ending the night in the best way with the best prayer for the KIMNET Global Conference. So what exactly is KIMNET about? KIM-NET introduces its ministry: We are living in a remarkable age where God is moving in our midst bringing us together to finish the task of His Great Commission. As we look at North American Korean immigrant history of 100 years, God has established more than 4,300 Korean American & Ca-nadian Churches and many diverse mission organizations to finish the task of Global Mission. Especially as Koreans living in the US and Canada, we have to humbly discern what God’s will is for us. Although Korean Churches are sending out 23,312 missionar-ies over 169 countries, we must not be sat-isfied where we are at but really search our

souls in seeking God’s will in how God will use the Koreans scattered throughout the world especially in North Americas.Specifically speaking, God is preparing His people to reach the world and we must be ready in obedience to have the same vision to bring Christ to the world, And in order to finish the task of world evangelization, we must do it together. When mission or-ganizations and missional churches partner & network we can do mission effectively. Now is the time to network and partner with churches and mission organizations to finish the task of Global Mission. We have to learn to unite together and know God’s heart of mission. God’s heart is for us to share information together, mobilize together and train together to finish the Global Mis-sion. KIMNET would like to be that platform to create synergy effect in missions empow-ering the churches to carry out His Great Commission. During the Conference, work shops and classes were all in Korean but on October 18th, the evening program was all in English and it was a Cultural Connection Celebration Night. Dr.Ki-Hyun Chun – VP of KIMNET invited prominent American community leaders as well as leaders in the Asian Amer-ican community. Over 500 people attended and gourmet Korean food was served by ca-terers from Atlanta. The Hope Community Church praising team led praising and Dr. Bruce Johnson –President of SIM (Service in Mission) delivered the message. There was a mission report from Ms. Mariella Provost who was born in Korea when her parents were missionaries in the 1920s. Everyone was surprised when she announced that she was 90 years old, only a few years younger than the 102 Rev. Bang Ji Il. Then James Linton who is a 4th generation Korean mis-sionary reported on his “Wellspring” mission work in North Korea as he spoke fluently in both Korean and English.

Billy Graham has long been known as the "pastor to presidents." Now, as he approaches his 94th birthday, Graham wants to help pick the president. He’ll be running full-page ads in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, among other publications, saying, “It is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.” The ad doesn’t say explicitly to vote for Mitt Romney. But a couple of recent activities suggest that Graham is a Romney man. Last week Romney made a trip to North Carolina to visit Graham at his home, and The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association recently deleted an article from its website identifying Mormonism as cult.

Heidi Linton who is the sister-in-law of James Linton gave a mission report of “Christian Friends to Korea (CFK)”, and time set aside to provide offering for North Korea Mission work. After the mission reports, the entertainment for the evening featured the Russian “Angels Choir” and Yu Myung Hae Korean Fusion Gospel Team, who per-formed during opening night. There was TaekwonDo Demonstration with message by King’s Tiger. And to top it all, the University Baptist Church Choir with its 70 members led by Min-isters Aris Graves and Teddy Andrews sang and rocked the house. Especially conductor Teddy Andrews’s dynamic style and enthusiastic attitude serving God through music gave long lasting impression to all of them. Ev-eryone in attendance really enjoyed the

performances, food, and fellowship. There are approximately 400,000 churches in the U.S., 60,000 churches in Korea, in addition to 4,300 Ko-rean American and Korean Canadian churches. Only a small fraction of those churches have had the privilege to host a mission conference like the one held by KIMNET this past Octo-ber, and this is the first mission confer-ence to be hosted by the Asian commu-nity in both North and South Carolina. The Charlotte Presbyterian Church gives thanks to the Lord for the privi-lege to host this magnificent con-ference. All those who attended the conference were rejuvenated and re-charged. We humble ourselves to obey Christ and the Great Commission to work locally but think globally to reach souls near and far.■ by Dr.Sunny Chun

Charlotte Concerts, an organization that brings world-renowned classical music and performing arts to the Queen City, present-ed violin virtuoso Ray Chen as its second concert of the four-concert season on Fri-day, Nov. 2 at 8:00 p.m., at Central Pied-mont Community College’s Halton Theater (1206 Elizabeth Ave., Charlotte, N.C.). Grateful for the tickets provided, Xiao Song Her, Mr Jack Wang and I enjoyed a spectacular evening. Winner of the International Queen Elis-abeth Competition in 2009 and the Ye-hudi Menuhin Competition 2008, Chen is among the most compelling young violin-ists today. In 2011, Sony Classical released Chen’s premiere album Virtuoso world-wide, which won the prestigious Echo Klassik Award. “The musicianship of Ray Chen is just as exciting as that of Gustavo Dudamel. He seems to have it all: instantly recognizable tone, charismatic personality and musical authority unusual for his age. He is at the beginning of a major career and it is a priv-ilege to build it with him,” says Bogdan Roscic, President of Sony Classical.

Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, Chen was accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music at the age of 15, where he stud-ied with Aaron Rosand. Chen played a 1721 “Macmillan” Stradivarius, awarded to him at the 2008-09 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York, and was accompanied by pianist Julio Elizalde for his Charlotte performance. The eve-ning’s program opened with Mozart Sonata for Piano and Violin K454 in B flat Major and Brahms Sonata for Violin and Piano no. 3 in D minor, Op. 108. After intermis-sion Ray performance continued with Bach “Chaconne” from Partita no. 2 in D minor BWV 1004, Saint-Saens “Havanaise” and

WOMEN ROCKBy Roxanna

November 1, 2012, 6-9pm Sponsored by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a WomenRock event offers a supporting environment where you’ll discover decision-making strategies for your financial well-being.Invited by Amira, I have enjoyed a great night of fun and network opportunities. Along with few awesome ladies from Prudential, she created a wonderful at-mosphere for women to relax, indulge, and make new friends. The event took place at the Great Wolf Lodge 10175 Weddington Road Con-cord, NC 28027 Women Rock round table included dis-

cussions on health, finance, and career opportunities. Attorney Jennefer Garrity ( from Garri-ty& Gossage,LLP), Dr. Melonni Dooley ( from the Art of Living Center), Andrea Buschur( from Prudential) and Nancy White ( Crystal Executive –Isagenix In-ternational) were among those offering great information, all women should have; including

Dan Starks has been a household name in Charlotte for decades. His Award Winning TV Show called “Don’t Be A Victim,” has been an Emmy Winner 11 times, and Starks is still very active in the Charlotte area in teaching people how protect themselves and stay safe. Starks and his Business Partner Connie Smigiel were guest speakers at the month-ly CAACC (Carolinas Asian-American Chamber of Commerce) Business Net-working Meeting, on Thursday, October 25, held at Dynasty Cuisine in Matthews. With over 30 in attendance, the conversa-tion and information was lively, as the at-tendees enjoyed a sumptuous traditional Chinese style banquet. Jian Zhang and John Chen greeted guests, of which some were attending for the 1st time. The audience was rapt as Dan Starks gave example after example of how people could and should protect themselves at all times. Two extremes were: 1. “a mother contacted Starks on his website about an incident in which her daughter was approached by 2 young men as she stopped to pump gas in the middle of the day. The 2 guys made every effort to distract her and engage her in conver-

sation in which appeared to be the intent to either rob or abduct her. Her mother said she “froze” and “didn’t think” of how or what she should or could have done in this situation. Fortunately for the young woman, another car drove up to the sta-tion and the two boys took off. They no longer had the “advantage.” The point made was that this was not an out of the way gas station; it was at the Arboretum and took place on a Sunday afternoon in broad daylight!” Had she been aware, or had attended “STI – Starks Training Insti-tute, Inc – Universal Defense Solutions” course in personal safety, she would have known what to do. 2. “Early one Saturday morning, Starks was conducting one of his Self-Protec-tion Programs, and a very sleepy looking young woman and her mother were taking the class. Starks said she clearly was very “unhappy” about being there and inquired about it. The girl “growled out a snappish retort and said her mother had MADE her come” and if she had refused, her parents would NOT pay her upcoming college tu-ition. So she was there, but not under her own volition. Fast forward to the fall of her freshman year in college and she was leaving the Library late one night and was walking down the sidewalk to her car. She ‘noticed’ a van parked some spaces behind her car, and immediately noted that the lights were not on, even though she could see 3 people in the front seat. She quickly got in her car and locked the doors and dialed 911 and explained exact-

ly the situation. The police advised her to ‘come’ to the police station. [Starks had taught his students to scope out an area when it was new, and locate the police sta-tion, or safety points.] While driving to the police station she stayed on the line, and made several turns to see if she was being followed. Yes, she was. She was their target! As she pulled into the front of the police station, several police cars surrounded the van that was tailing her, and a potential robbery, assault, or worse, was avoided. What the police found in the back of the van, according to Starks, was duct tape, a rape kit, handcuffs. This young woman’s life was surely saved by her quick action, and by what she had learned before going off to college, in Starks class that early Saturday morning.” At one point in the evening, Connie Smi-giel demonstrated on a mannequin how to use “Police grade Pepper Spray,” which is designed to “buy time” for the victim to

get away. These and other items are of-fered by STI as are the classes throughout the year. They also teach “Concealed Car-ry” classes at Hyatt Gun Shop on Wilkin-son Boulevard. This network meeting was by far one of the most informative to date, and a special thanks goes to the CAACC group for organizing, and for Dan Starks and Connie Smigiel for graciously giving their time and talent to share their valuable knowledge about Personal Safety. ‘If you are wondering what to ‘give’ your high school or college student for Christ-mas, birthday, or special occasion, this would absolutely be the ‘perfect gift’ says long-time friend and ‘student’ Andrea Lee. It could be the ‘gift of life’.” Please see their website www.danstarks.com / [email protected] /

On Saturday, November 10, 2012, from 5 pm, the Filipino Americans from all over the Carolinas will be gathering in full force at the beautifully renovated Blake Hotel (former Adams Mark Hotel) on 555 Mc-Dowell Street in uptown Charlotte, to cel-ebrate 25 years of Filipino American unity, harmony and community service. It will be recalled that the fi rst Filipino American Gala in Charlotte was held on November 22, 1988, organized by Rudy and Lita Joa-quin, the Balcitas, Fallar sisters, Penillas, Rodriguezes,Restars, Burrows,Venturas, Oc-ampos, Siplons, Grifenhagens,Cabugwasons, del Mundos,Salcedo, Aspa,Quinio, Oates, etc. at the Royce Hotel (now the Hilton Ho-tel) on Tyvola. Thereafter, the need to for-malize an association was evident, and the FACC's Articles of Incorporation was ap-proved two years later, in December 1990 and thus the FACC was born. The fi rst Presi-dent, Lito Balcita, a chemical engineer was elected for 1991. The year 1988 was signifi cant, as it was designated as the "Year of the Filipino Americans in the US" and marked the 225th ( now the 249th) anniversary of the fi rst Filipino settlements in New Orleans, Loui-siana, the so called Manila Village and St. Malo. Thus, from that auspicious beginning in 1988, the annual Filipino Gala Night has come to refl ect the growth, vigor and chang-ing demographics of the Filipino commu-nity (and Asians). The latest census fi gures cite about 5,000 Fil-Ams, with Asians as the fastest growing minority, next to the La-tinos, in the international city of Charlotte. As the families grew, so did the community

involvement of the Filipinos. Some notable projects of the Filipino community through the years are -- the cultural enhancement programs in the three family days with his-toric attendance at the Charlotte Museum of History,(earning a citation for the Filipino community), of the renowned Smithsonian exhibit, SINGGALOT, The Ties that Bind, The History of the Filipino Diaspora of the Filipinos to the US since the 1500's, exem-plifying the rich cultural heritage of the. Many philanthropic endeavors for the needy, here and back home, dot the landscape of Filipino American community life, thanks to its deep religious beliefs and strong family ties & compassion.. There are multi-.fund-raiser events of every type, size & audience to benefi t victims of natural disasters, build homes for the poor, provide educational opportunities to improve economic viabil-ity of families, feed the hungry(Homeless Shelter & Ministry of the Poor), rescue the street children, support medical missions & surgeries for life-threatening medical conditions, with plans to fi nance incubator projects , mini-banks as direct assistance to the enterprising, and many other such ac-tivities in answer to the cry for help. Aside from the Gala, the FACC also built the ac-tive social network among the members & outside community, through its signature events like the acquaintance and "getting- to- know- you" parties for newcomers, the Spring Fling & Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, charity golf tournaments, the Flores de Mayo or Santacruzan featuring the young Filipino Americans, and many more.The gregarious Filipino has every opportunity

by Dr. Nini RB Bautista, Past President FACC, Chairman Emerita/Past President, CAACCto mix and mingle with friends and family throughout the year while imparting Filipino culture to their young. The Silver Anniversary celebrations on November 10 will continue supporting the mission and vision of the FACC, in its work of providing the opportunities of a compassionate society to help the needy It will feature a raffl e with the grand prize of $2,000( one need not be present to win), but the many exciting consolation prizes will be awarded only to those who are at the Gala ( to encourage attendance). Since a limited number of the raffl e ticket is being sold, it will increase your chances of winning. At any rate, it will be a win-win situation, since all proceeds will go to the direct assistance projects to be carried out immediately..An-other opportunity to help will be the afford-able ads ( starting from a mere $40 ) in the Gala Souvenir program, which will allow the FACC members/families, to stand and be counted as caring members of the Fil Ams of Charlotte at this important milestone in our history. Call your FACC offi cers now for your Gala ($55) & raffl e tickets ($10) and to place

your family ad. ( Guia= 704 975 0779, Nena=704 909 0429, Tess 704 365 4353 ) The dinner dance will be studded with many silvery moments...Prexy Lita Joaquin and the all star offi cers, Nena Amigo, Tess Burrows, Jacky Ganzon, Susan Supil, Luz Taboada,Guia Villapando, and the repre-sentatives, all with excellent & long track records of community service are working hard to provide a stellar venue, with sil-ver decors imported from the Philippines, piano selections of the '60 s and '70s during the cocktail hour by pianist Cristy Calicdan, dinner music by the upcoming band Pinoy Noir(jazz enthusiasts who are mostly doc-tors), plus a popular live band to supply the dance music for an all night revelry and fun, so Filipino, a short cultural program directed by Cynthia del Mundo , and a few surprise numbers to further spice the night.Don't miss out on this great " silver" opportu-nity ( which comes only once in 25 years !) to celebrate our unique Filipino-ness, while giving back to the caring community that nurtures and sustains us all !! ■

First Annual Sushi Eating Contest Fund Raiser supporting the Miss Asia Carolinas Scholarship Fund

November 3, 2012 Concord, NC – Hissho Sushi and the Charlotte chapter of the National Association of Asian American Professionals collaborated in the first annual Sushi Eating fundraiser at Concord Mills Mall. Shoppers and contestants hailed from the entire Char-lotte metropolitan area. The event was hosted by Mr. Warren Chu of NAAAP and emcee, Ms. Dion Lim, news anchor from WCNC Charlotte. The competi-tion also served to celebrate the multi-cultural composition of the Asian Amer-ican community and proceeds benefited a scholarship fund for promising young Asian American students representing the various Asian ethnicities. To kick off the event, 2012 Pageant winner, Miss Monique Tuzon sang the National Anthem and other pageant contestants entertained the crowd with beautiful and artful cultural performances. Vol-unteers from Bank of America, includ-ing Kimberly Blewett, Jinna Kim and Qadryah Zamri worked with NAAAP and the Hissho Sushi staff to literally set the stage for the twelve contestants who stepped up to the challenge of con-suming mass quantities of California makizushi, otherwise known as “rolled sushi,” in a mad rush to beat the clock. Andrea Lee, May Kam, Hsiao Wen and the Concord Mills Mall Hissho Sushi team prepared over 700 tasty sushi piec-es for our contestants. Winner Jann He-redia shared his winning secret with the

crowd: “eat…drink…eat…drink!” as he devoured 28 pieces of sushi in the final three minutes to take home the trophy, prize money and bragging rights. Chief event sponsor and Hissho Sushi CEO, Philip Maung, was recently recognized by the Obama administration for his vi-sionary leadership in tough economic times. The National Association of Asian American Professionals is the fastest growing Asian American professional organization in North America with a local chapter in Charlotte lead by Presi-dent, Warren Chu and Chairman of the Board, Marcus Cheung. The Miss Asia Carolinas pageant, founded by Dr. Nini Bautista of the Carolinas Asian Ameri-can Chamber of Commerce, engages young Asian Americans in the celebra-tion and awareness of the diverse cul-tural heritage and traditions that com-prise the Asian American community in Charlotte. ■

A Seven-Year-Old Bank with a Newly Minted Business Model

As neighbor across the street, we always wondered what is so special about New Do-minion Bank. Friday, November 2nd, Asian Herald had a surprise visit from a wonderful team, Scott Shires (Vice president) and Lind-say Talbot (Senior Vice President); later in the afternoon, they brought the man respon-sible for much of the vision, CEO John Hipp III. In its early years, New Dominion Bank (NDB) concentrated its efforts in the emerg-ing arena of Internet banking, gaining the expert technological skills many banks are still struggling to master. But after several years spent building a national customer base without a sustainable foundation, New Do-minion saw a better opportunity. The real po-tential for future growth was in the amazing metropolitan statistical area (MSA) of Char-lotte, N.C., right in the shadows of the big banks. Charlotte has been known for having big, high-profile banks, but it also has a big void. Unlike vibrant mid-sized cities such as Indianapolis, San Jose and Nashville, Char-lotte has no dominant $1 - $3 billion commu-nity bank. “New Dominion Bank is building Charlotte’s Favorite Community Bank with relationships” says C. John Hipp III, CEO of New Dominion Bank. “We are the alterna-tive to big banking. We are building a super community bank which operates with local decisions, less red tape and more responsive-ness.” Currently with around $350 million in assets, the goal is to build a $2 billion dol-lar bank with a 7 to 10 branch network with-in the market. “Charlotte is the only major metropolitan area east of the Mississippi that doesn’t have a dominant community bank” according to Hipp. “Our goal is to fill that void.” Established in 2005, the bank was founded

on an internet banking strategy that built a national customer base and a loan portfolio heavily concentrated in real estate and devel-opment. Hipp was brought on in late 2010 to help develop and execute a community banking strategy. He was a natural fit for the role with his record of success at South Carolina Bank and Trust and Rock Hill Na-tional Bank. Hipp came in with the vision to build Char-lotte’s Favorite Community Bank, a newly minted business model for the seven -year old bank. To achieve this vision, Hipp has made major changes in policy, goals and cul-ture. Hipp initiated the changes by building a new management team, consisting of Marc Bogan, President and COO; Blaine Jackson, CFO; Greg Burke, CCO. Hipp and Bogan have a history of working together at both South Carolina Bank and Trust and Ameris Bank. Hipp and team are raising $30 mil-lion to recapitalize and build a high perfor-mance bank. The new business model is fo-cuses personally knowing the customer and finding ways to help them be successful. It is a community bank without layers of hierar-chy and can give customers quick decisions when they are looking for a loan. “Customers are coming to us seeking a bank that is rela-tionship-oriented, not where they are treated like a number. Most people think of a com-munity bank as one that they have real rela-tionship with, “says Hipp. “We are positioned to build something of value, something meaningful to the Charlotte community” says Hipp. Dr Chun is eager to invite some of his firm’s clients, investors with over 20 years experience, to give the bank a chance. The personal touch, along with expert advice will make New Dominion -banking-experience a winner. But don’t just take our word for; come in, and see it for yourself. Young at heart, technology savvy, no matter at what point in your life you stand, this relation will move you to the new millennium. Your phone may not prepare dinner, but it will order one; may not produce money, but will deposit what you earned. You may still have to work, but this bank will save you cash, and reward your efforts. ■

Phoenix competes in the International Overseas Chinese Dance Competition

Chinese Phoenix Arts in Charlotte NC was one of the eight amateur overseas Chinese dance groups in the United States who re-cently made the finals of the first Overseas Chinese Dance Competition. This is quite an honor for Charlotte's first adult Chinese per-forming group, a 15 year old non-profit Chi-nese culture and arts organization! Over the years, Phoenix has been promoting Chinese culture to major companies, banks, schools, nursing homes, and various social groups; its members are volunteers who love their heritage, culture, arts and music. Thanks to its members' enthusiastic love for their Chi-nese culture, and are very hard-working in promoting and educating the local charlot-

teans to make them more aware of Chinese culture and arts. Recently, a great opportunity presented itself to Chinese Phoenix Arts: The China State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the Chinese Dancers Association, and the Over-seas Chinese Town Group joined forces to hold its third annual world overseas Chinese artistic talent competition. Furthermore, for the first time ever, the event organizers have added a dance division to the competition. About two months ago, The 2012 China Cul-ture, The Global Chinese Art Talent - Dance Competition committee undertook a tal-ent search amongst the Chinese, all over the world. The Chinese Talent (dance) final will

take place from the 26 of November to the 1st of December 2012 in the Shen-zhen China Art Centre. On these dates, 50 dance teams from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Malay-sia, the Philippines and more than 10 other countries will participate in this competition. The dance contest aims to promote Chinese culture, promote the development and prosperity of national folk dance art overseas. Worldwide, a total of more than 200 teams took part in the preliminaries;

the competition was divided into solo, du-ets and trio dancers as well as dance groups with multiple participants. After experts from the Chinese Dancers Association, Cen-tral Nationalities Song and Dance Ensemble made a rigorous assessment of the dance submissions of these overseas Chinese dance groups, only 50 were selected to participate in the finals. Chinese Phoenix Arts in Char-lotte was one of the 8 dance groups selected from the United States. The dance is Kang Ding Love Song, a Tibetan dance. The news spread out and all of the members of the Phoenix got wide and excited to congratulat-ing and cheering the dancers on. The dance instructor, artistic director, also, the lead dancer, Ms. Zhang Xueyao(Cara), a dance major student of UNCC, adapted a

professional version of the dance online last year, and taught the dance team this Tibetan dance for one of Phoenix’s Chinese New Year celebration number. Now Xueyao has worked hard rehearsing with the rest of the

dance team, notably Zhang Zhihong (Lucy), the stage manager, and the dance team rehearsal coordinator, Yu Qing (Linda), the Present of Chinese Phoenix Arts and the dance team leader, Li Yanshu, a dance major graduate from ShanXi University in China, now a staff member of Con-fucius Institute in Pfeiffer Univer-sity, and He XiaoSong, former first President of Phoenix Chinese Arts,

currently Director of Little Lotus Troupe, and an adjunct professor at Johnson C. Smith University. These dancers have been rehears-ing very hard and have a common goal of striving to do their best to achieve great re-sults in the finals. We know the dance team will do its very best for its special mission in ShenZhen China! This group of five bears a huge responsibility, will meet a great challenge, yet will contrib-ute its talent, energy and time for our city, the people of Charlotte, North Carolina, and the United States! We are proud of you! ■

Most Americans have been im-pacted in some way by the fi nan-cial downturn of 2008-2009, and a study conducted by Prudential Fi-nancial indicates that Asian Ameri-

cans are no exception. Asian Americans on the Road to Retirement, is a report based on an online study conducted in July 2009 that polled a total of 656 Asian Americans who were sole or joint fi nancial decision makers. Survey results uncovered some interesting fi ndings, including the fact that

approximately 8 in 10 re-spondents felt their savings and investments have been negatively impacted in re-cent years. Additionally, a majority of those surveyed thought planning was an essential part of retirement success, but only 18 per-cent currently uses licensed fi nancial professionals for long-term fi nancial plan-ning needs, such as how to achieve retirement goals.

Additional survey fi nd-ings:

• Only 27 percent of those surveyed have a formal written plan in place for re-tirement.• Financial protection in retirement was a key con-cern, but few had adequate knowledge about the vari-ous life insurance products available.• Only a small percentage understood the role that in-vestment vehicles like mu-tual funds or annuities play in a retirement portfolio.

Understanding cultural infl uences.

Cultural differences defi -nitely come into play when you look at how people from different backgrounds approach planning for their fi nancial security. Asian Americans, for example, often look to family and friends for fi nancial ad-vice, and may need to be persuaded about the valu-able role a trusted fi nancial professional can play in helping them attain their fi -nancial goals. Asian Ameri-cans also have a tradition of personally caring for aging family members, but for those approaching their golden years, the prospect of living with adult chil-dren should not be viewed as a substitute for building an adequate nest egg.

Asian Americans need to address the gaps that exist between the goals they’ve set and the lifestyle in retirement they can now ex-pect to achieve. This is particularly critical for those nearing retirement. Some 43 per-cent have less than $50,000 in retirement savings, and many have little or no under-standing of the fi nancial options available to them. The need for professional assistance. Now more than ever fi nancial profession-als play a critical role in helping individu-als from all cultures explore various invest-ment vehicles. Asian Americans nearing retirement are an especially underserved group when it comes to getting the help they need – the Prudential survey points

HELPING ASIAN AMERICANS REACH THEIR RETIREMENT GOALS

Most Americans have been impacted in some way by the financial downturn of 2008-2009, and a study conducted by Prudential Financial indicates that Asian Americans are no exception. Asian Americans on the Road to Retirement, is a report based on an online study conducted in July 2009 that polled a total of 656 Asian Americans who were sole or joint financial decision makers. Survey results uncovered some interesting findings, including the fact that approximately 8 in 10 respondents felt their savings and investments have been negatively impacted in recent years. Additionally, a majority of those surveyed thought planning was an essential part of retirement success, but only 18 percent currently uses licensed financial professionals for long-term financial planning needs, such as how to achieve retirement goals.

Additional survey findings:

· Only 27 percent of those surveyed have a formal written plan in place for retirement.· Financial protection in retirement was a key concern, but few had adequate knowledge about the various life insurance products available.· Only a small percentage understood the role that investment vehicles like mutual funds or annuities play in a retirement portfolio.

Cultural differences definitely come into play when you look at how people from different backgrounds approach planning for their financial security. Asian Americans, for example, often look to family and friends for financial advice, and may need to be persuaded about the valuable role a trusted financial professional can play in helping them attain their financial goals. Asian Americans also have a tradition of personally caring for aging family members, but for those approaching their golden years, the prospect of living with adult children should not be viewed as a substitute for building an adequate nest egg.

out that only about one in four Asian Amer-icans have a formal, written plan in place. Clearly, having a plan is essential toward achieving future lifestyle goals, particularly for those nearing retirement. Like other consumers who are looking for guidance, Asian Americans who want to learn more about investment options but don’t know where to begin should seek out a fi nancial professional they feel comfort-able with. A good place to start is through referrals - ask friends and coworkers if they can recommend a fi nancial professional and consider interviewing several. The right individual will help identify fi nancial objectives and lead discussions on top-ics ranging from investments to retirement

savings. Having the right plan in place is an essential fi rst step to helping to obtain re-tirement security, and can help keep you on track to achieving your hopes and dreams for the future.

電波，聲波，細菌，原子等等也是看不見

的，你可以否定其存在嗎？另外“風”，我

們可以從風吹草動，天熱風吹涼爽感受風的

存在，但有誰看過風呢？何況那位超越“時

空”，又是“無限”的創造主，更不是我們

這“有限，微小”的人所能探知的。

1960 年代美蘇太空競賽，蘇俄的第二位

太空人鐵托夫（Charman Titov）曾乘太空船

繞地球 17 圈半回來，這個成就使美國感到

落後了。鐵托夫就很自誇的說：“我去了太

空，但很抱歉，我並沒有看到上帝。”當時

蘇俄頭子赫魯曉夫（當年除了美國總統以

外，最顯眼的名字）就妄自尊大的宣稱：

“宇宙中確實沒有神。”記得當時葛理翰牧

師（Rev. Billy Graham）正在某地舉行大型

佈道會，他在報章閱讀到這一則消息，就在

當晚的佈道會上作了公開回答。他用一個比

喻說：“有一條蚯蚓從地下鑽出地面，只伸

出半身，向四週巡視了一下，又躲入地下，

便很有自信地對同伴宣稱，並且誇言說：

“有人說世上有一個名叫赫魯曉夫的，但我

探頭到地面巡察了一番，看不到赫魯曉夫，

所以我可以斷言，地上根本就沒有叫赫魯曉

夫的這個人。”

神不但是因為“無限偉大”，非我們這有

限的頭腦所能理解的；又因祂是“靈”，所

以更非我們這種“肉眼”所能見到。但最根

本的原因，乃在乎神是聖的，是尊榮的，我

們這卑微罪污的人怎能朝見這一位至尊至聖

的神呢？我們想見美國總統都不容易求見，

何況這一位“天地萬物的主宰上帝”，我們

豈可隨便使喚祂出來讓你看看呢？

世人可以經由神客觀“啓示”，加上他的

觀察及推論，尋求到宇宙確實有一位“真

神”存在。神藉著三方面的定律向人啓示。

第一，道德的定律

神掌管歷史，從歷史的演變，可證實古人

所說：“順天者昌，逆天者亡。”1812 年法

國拿破侖欲攻俄國時，俄國大使勸告他不要

動兵，免得兩敗俱傷，並引古話說：“謀事

在人，成事在天。”拿破侖笑著狂傲地說：

“我拿破侖不同凡人也，我是：謀事在我，

成事也在我。”這次戰役給他帶來慘重的敗

北。他所帶 41 萬大軍，料想不到因一場大

風雪，單凍死的就有十幾萬人，加上被打死

的，共有 21 萬 3 千多人被埋尸於雪地，結果

只帶了九千殘兵退回本國。歷史學家 F. W. Krumwacher 論起此事，他說：“明顯的有一

隻手，在掌管著整個歐洲的命運，是我們的

眼睛所看不見的。”這證明宇宙中有一位最

高執掌道德的主宰，祂制定並執行“道德

律”，就是真神上帝，祂掌管歷史。

第二，人心的定律

神掌管人心，當神創造人類的時候，已經

將神自己的生命與本性，藉著祂的靈吹入人

裡面。所以人的心靈自然會渴望神，尋求

神。所以人有“宗教心”，雖然許多人拜錯

了神，但至少可證明一位“真神”是“人

心”所追求的。

此“人心”除了產生“宗教心”之外，也

顯明在“良心”的功用上。我們都知道“良

心”是與生俱來的，是上帝放置於人心，使

它能發生分別是非的作用，所以中國哲學家

就稱“良心”為“良知”或“天良”。

德國哲學家康德（Immanuel Kant）說：

“有兩件事，讓我越反省就越產生敬畏神的

心：一. 是我頭上群星的穹蒼，二. 是那在我

內心的道德律。”

第三，創造的定律

“自從創世以來，神那看不見的事，就如

祂永恆的大能和神性，都是看得見的，就是

從祂所造的萬物中可以領悟，叫人沒有辦法

推諉。”

雖然人不能直接用他的肉眼看見，但藉著

神所創造的萬物，間接可以知道神的永能和

神性。將來在神的審判台前，無論是誰都不

能推諉說：“我不知有神。”

神的永能與神性，不但顯明在整個“偉大

的宇宙”，同時也顯明在“微小的原子”裡

面。無論在動物界和植物界，你都會觀察到

神創造的奇妙。

盼望讀者讀了這篇信息之後，能相信有一

位真神存在。“神愛世

人，甚至將祂的獨生

子賜給他們，叫一切

信祂的，不至滅亡，

反得永生。”（約翰福

音

睡眠不足

易發胖、罹糖尿病「內科紀事」期刊( Annals of Intenral Medicine)16 日發表研究顯示，睡眠太

少可損害人體的脂肪細胞，使人易患

肥胖和第二型糖尿病。

科學家早就指出，缺乏睡眠會使人疲

倦和思維混亂，同時還使人長胖。睡

眠不足導致人體的饑餓荷爾濛水平提

高，降低了飽足感的荷爾濛水平，從

而導致食量增大和體重增加。

人體的荷爾蒙胰島素對調節體內的能

量儲存與配置至關重要，研究顯示，

睡眠不足降低了脂肪細胞對荷爾蒙胰

島素的正常反應能力。

芝加哥大學的分子代謝與營養委員會

主席布萊迪說：「脂肪細胞要通過睡

眠來實現功能正常，如果睡眠不足，

大腦可能不清醒，脂肪細胞也需要睡

眠。」

如果脂肪細胞不能對胰島素做出正

常反應，血脂就會在血液中循環，從

而引發第二型糖尿病和其他疾病。

長期不吃肉

竟早衰失智

蔬食者愈來愈多，前副總統呂秀蓮也

是其中之一，她表示，吃蔬食後，身體

愈來愈健康，體重也減輕了四公斤。不

過，醫師提醒，蔬食者要注意攝取足夠

的蛋白質，以免造成失智等其他病症。英諺說：「You are what you eat」，意

指吃進什麼樣的食物，就決定什麼樣的

身體。醫學博士陳俊旭說，身體健康與

飲食有很密切的關係。「現代人大都吃

錯了。」大多數的慢性病都是吃出來

的，像糖尿病主要是因為飲食比例錯

誤，吃太多澱粉、糕餅、水果，吃太少

蔬菜所致；高血壓和腦血管疾病則是因

壞油(油炸食物)吃太多、蔬菜、水果(含

抗氧化劑可對抗體內自由基)吃太少；憂

鬱症也與優質蛋白(如新鮮魚? 蛂蛋)及

好油吃太少有關。

缺乏維他命Ｂ提前退化

書田診所新陳代謝科主任洪建德解

釋，長期不吃肉會缺乏維生素Ｂ 12，維

生素Ｂ 12 是造血重要元素，若缺乏會

造成神經病變及貧血，引發疲倦、腦力

和體力減退、臉色蒼白等；缺乏Ｂ 12也會使血管狹小及血液栓塞，增加心臟

病和腦中風風險

郵政醫院營養師黃淑惠也說，維生素

Ｂ 12 是人體製造神經傳導物質的輔助

酵素，體內含量不足時會影響神經傳導

的分泌，出現記憶喪失、失智、神經

痛、末梢神經炎等症狀。因此她呼籲長

期茹素的人，即使不吃肉、蛋，也要吃

豆腐等黃豆製品，腦子才不會提早退化

。黃淑惠說，很多人以為少吃肉、多吃

蔬果就是健康，有些人甚至一天三餐只

吃飯配菜，連豆腐、黃豆等也拒吃，怕

尿酸高；吃蛋怕膽固醇過高，認為這樣

就很健康。其實長期下來，身體會因缺

乏維他命Ｂ 12、蛋白質而出毛病。

半素半葷最健康

對營養頗有研究的洪建德表示，蛋白

質最重要的功能，是擔任人體建造組

織、修補組織以及調節生理機能的工

作，因而有人稱它為「人體工程師」。

此外，蛋白質還能構成抗體，來維持身

體的抵抗力；人體的神經傳導物質也由

蛋白質構成，負責傳導神經刺激。

現代人講求健康，流行吃蔬食餐，這看

在醫師、營養師眼裡，覺得不可思議，

因為蛋白質是人體修補組織的重要原

料，不吃蛋白質食物才是生病的最大禍

首。

人體如缺乏蛋白質，無法執行新陳代

謝；長期缺乏蛋白質，導致生理機能無

法正常運轉，容易提早衰退。黃淑惠門

診裡，就有老人家因不吃蛋、肉、黃

豆，導致身體機能衰退，甚至提早出現

失智症狀。

許多人擔心營養過剩而不敢攝取富含蛋

白質的食物，黃淑惠與洪建德認為不須

過度憂慮，現代人該在意的是飲食均

衡，而非攝取某種營養過量的問題。國

外有研究發現，半素半葷是最健康的飲

食原則。

健康飲食八大原則

身體會慢性發炎、快速老化、甚至癌

化，最常見原因是錯誤的飲食方式，陳

俊旭提供以下八大飲食原則，供讀者參

考。

1. 食物四分法：每餐飲食中蔬菜類、

水果類、蛋白質類及澱粉類各佔 25%。

2. 多吃好油、少吃壞油：好油可以維

護及促進健康，壞油則會損害健康。

3. 多原味、少調味：吃新鮮原味食

物。

4. 多吃完整食物：很多食物都可以連

籽帶皮吃，如葡萄、蘋果等。

5. 精製糖、精製澱粉少吃：吃過多精

製糖或澱粉，會增加身體負擔，影響吸

收維生素 C，使抵抗力變差。

6. 每餐只吃七分飽：吃太飽或有吃消

夜習慣的人，睡覺時容易因體內有過多

營養素流竄，造成過多葡萄糖進入腦

中，導致睡不穩或多夢。

7. 食物種類多樣化：人體要維持基本

生理運作、新陳代謝，要靠體內成千上

萬的營養素，只要缺少任何一種營養

素，就會造成代謝失衡。

8. 多喝潔淨的水：喝好水很重要，不

僅有助新陳代謝，還有解除疲勞、助

眠、美容的效果。

社安金報告

趕緊上網查社安金報告( Social Security statements)會摘要列出每個人過

去的所得紀錄、以及預期的退

休金額，長久以來，這份報告

都會在每個人生日前寄到家

裡，就像早到的生日禮物；但

現在信箱裡不再有這份報告，

想知道報告裡的訊息，必須造

訪 Socialsecurity.gov/

mystatement 網站，開設社安帳

戶。

到底什麼原因非得要定期查

看社安報告呢？

第一個理由是，這是預知將

來可能領取多少社安金的唯一

管道，如果不查，就完全沒辦

法得知。

第二個理由是，報告內容可

能有誤；社安局建議大家每年

至少查看一次，以便核對前一

年薪資有沒有錯。如果發現有

誤，應盡速撥打 1-800-772-

1213 查詢。

第三，查報告有助於事先規

劃退休生活。社安報告根據每

人的退休年紀推估社安金，愈

晚退休、退休金愈高，最遲可

延至 70 歲；報告書也明列殘障

福利和遺眷福利，網站上還提

供計算工具，方便大家進一步

檢查估算金額，當然，法令隨

時會變，而且從 2033 年起，薪

資所得稅只夠支應 75%社安

金，所以人們最後真正領的社

安金未必與預估值相符。

第四，年輕人不必等到 25 歲

就可以先一步上網查看自己的

社安報告。只要滿 18 歲、有社

安碼、電子郵件、美國境內住

址，便可上網開戶、查看。

總之，上網查看社安報告有

其必要。上網開戶其實不是真

那麼困難；第一次開戶時會被

問一些問題，目的是證明你確

實是問答問題的本人，問題包

括曾申辦過什麼貸款、住在哪

條街上等等，只要切實答對

了，就沒什麼問題。

在美國如果出現飛機失事，即使

損傷輕微，也一樣會上新聞頭條。

相比之下，美國醫療界可謂更要

命：每週因為醫療事故而丟掉性命

的人足以裝滿四架大型客機。但在

全世界，這些錯誤都常常不被人察

覺，醫療界也極少從中汲取教訓。

那些原本可以預防避免、幾無差別

的醫療事故在世界各地一遍一遍上

演。在美國，外科醫生在手術台上認

錯部位動錯刀的次數高達每週 40次。如果將醫療錯誤當成一種疾病

的話，它在美國算是第六大死因，

排名緊隨意外事故之後，比老年痴

呆症還靠前一位。若將人員傷亡撇

開不談，單從財物損失上看，醫療

錯誤就使美國醫保系統每年損失高

達數百億美元。

在本專業領域進行了調查研究的

醫學專家認為，大約有 20%到

30%的用藥、醫檢及手術是不必要

的。還有比這更不靠譜的行業嗎？

改掉水果錯誤保存法

●香蕉要在室溫存放，不能放冰箱嗎？

錯！香蕉熟了還是得放冰箱，雖然外皮會變

黑，但不會影響果肉的甜美。

●蘋果、水蜜桃一起塞冰箱？不可以！

許多人習慣把水果全都保存在冰箱保鮮抽屜，

若是錯把不同特性的水果放在一起，就會像李

媽媽冰箱裡的水蜜桃一樣，開始熟透壞掉。

●草莓清洗過再冷藏，拿出來就可以吃，很方

便。不對！因為水分會使病菌微生物孳生，讓

草莓容易發黴，不僅是草莓，所有的水果都一

樣，要吃之前再清洗就好。

到底水果有哪些特性？哪些水果不能擺在一

起？該如何正確保存？如何催熟？

怎樣才不會讓水果還來不及吃就爛了？一起跟

著《康健》尋找方法吧。

冷藏前，先認識水果類型

水果雖然已從果樹上摘下，但它仍是有生命

的個體，會呼吸、感冒、受傷，也會老化。

有些水果會釋放「乙烯」，有些水果最怕冰

箱吸收水氣而變乾，也有水果冷藏會受傷，該

如何小心照顧它們呢？要學會保存水果，前提

是要先分清楚它是「已熟型」還是「後熟

型」。

「已熟型」水果：指在採收時已經成熟，

若未放入冰箱冷藏，很快就會過熟、爛掉的水

果；「後熟型」水果：是在採收時還未完全

成熟，必須擺放在室溫環境一段時間繼續熟

化。

1.需要冷藏的水果︰

葡萄、蘋果、蓮霧、芭樂、草莓、櫻桃、水

梨、柑橘。不過冰箱內溫度低、濕度也低，所

以水果容易流失水分，許多人或許都有經驗，

有些水果未包裝就放進冰箱或是冷藏太久，就

會出現皺紋、乾枯萎縮。

在冷藏環境下容易流失水分的水果，包括

梨、蓮霧、芭樂、櫻桃、龍眼等。避免水分流

失是冷藏保存關鍵。這類水果怕水分流失，但

也需要呼吸，因此可用紙張包覆後再放入塑膠

袋，塑膠袋防止冰箱吸收水果水分，紙張則幫

助吸收水分，避免水氣凝結孳生細菌、發黴。

記得塑膠袋口只要稍微打結不需綁死，要

維持透氣，別讓水果悶壞。櫻桃易碰撞受傷又

怕水分流失，可用真空保鮮盒盛裝，並避免裝

太多櫻桃導致相互擠壓。

2.先放室溫幾天再冷藏的水果︰水蜜

桃、甜桃、香蕉、奇異果、楊桃、釋迦、甜

柿、酪梨等。

以水蜜桃、甜桃和蜜李等對溫度敏感的水果

為例，未熟前的理想保存溫度在 10℃～

25.6℃，夏天得在室內陰涼處熟化，稍變軟後即

可冷藏。因為桃、李的危險溫度為 1.7℃～

10℃，而冰箱的冷藏溫度 4℃，正在危險溫度範

圍內，如果桃李未完全熟化前冷藏，會破壞水

果組織、流失水分。

夏季高溫超過 29℃以上，桃、李也會開始產

生不規則熟化，同樣會受傷。

判斷熟成後冷藏是保存關鍵。後熟型水果需擺

在室內陰涼處熟化，熟成後還是得冷藏，否則

水果仍會過熟、壞掉；秋冬季節則可視室內溫

度決定是否冷藏。

如何判斷水果已熟？

以軟硬度可分辨桃李類、奇異果、釋迦、甜

柿等水果的成熟度；香蕉、楊桃、酪梨等水果

則以顏色判斷，通常由青轉黃後即算成熟，酪

梨則會轉變為黑色。

以嬌嫩難照顧的後熟型水果水蜜桃為例，經

營水果行 30 年的李進益分享一個小撇步，買回

來需在室溫環境擺放 2 天左右，稍微變軟就可

以放入冰箱冷藏，要吃之前拿出來退冰 2 小時

～ 3 小時，吃起來的軟硬度就剛剛好。但水蜜

桃也是怕冷藏會流失水分的水果，同樣需要以

紙張及塑膠袋分層包裝，防止冰箱吸走水氣。

此外熱帶水果也怕冷、容易感冒，如鳳梨、

香蕉、芒果、木瓜等，若要成熟後冷藏，建議

不超過兩天，並盡快食用。

3.不能和其他蔬果放一起的水果︰蘋

果、釋迦、梨、木瓜、香蕉等。這類水果在成

熟過程中會釋放一種氣體，叫做「乙烯」。乙

烯會加速水果的成熟和老化，若將一般蔬菜、

水果與此類水果放在一起，就容易提早老化、

腐爛。在水果堆中，若是有一顆水果壞掉，就

要立即挑出，因為壞掉的水果也會開始釋放乙

烯，讓其他水果一顆一顆接著壞。分開包裝、

擺放為保存關鍵。這類水果不論是冷藏或室溫

保存都需要分開，若是冷藏，建議裝入塑膠

袋，袋口稍打個結，避免釋放出的乙烯影響冰

箱內其他水果的品質。

水果保存得宜，須先聰明買

如果不想因為保存水果而大傷腦筋，最好的

辦法就是適量採購，可少量多樣，並在一週內

食用完畢。當然，還要選擇當季盛產水果，因

為最新鮮，而且量多便宜。大顆水果賣相好價

格高，若是自己吃，則建議購買小顆，數量多

並可分次食用。若是後熟型水果，可挑選一顆

熟度剛好，當天可吃，另一顆則挑青澀一點

的，回家還可再擺放 1 天～ 2 天。

一個台灣人

看上海交大

佚名

看一個人，可以看他的學識，

他的氣質，他的丰采，他的談

吐。看一個國家，可以看它的大

學。

我每到一個國家，一個城市，

風景區可以不看，但大學和博物

館一定要看。

台大的老校長傅斯年，掌理台

大的時間其實不長，但這位胡適

的得意門生，前北大校長，卻給

台大奠立了很好的基礎，把北大

的學術風氣和自由學風帶到了台

大，把大學的莊嚴地位和神聖使

命清楚地傳達給一代又一代的台

大人。傅老給台大師生留下一句

鏗鏘有力擲地有聲的名言：“貢

獻這所大學於宇宙之精神”。是

啊，“宇宙之精神”，多麼莊嚴

神聖，多麼亙古長新。

美國東岸的耶魯、哈佛、哥倫

比亞，西岸的柏克萊、史丹佛我

都去過，也待過；大陸的北大和

上海交大、我也去過。

大陸的大學，即使是名牌大

學，培養的是螺絲釘；美國的名

校和台大，培養的是人材。大陸

的大學，即使是名牌大學，比較

像職業學校或技術學院；美國的

名校和台大，培養的是獨立研究

獨立思考的領袖人材。大陸的大

學，尤其是名牌大學，很像是在

開店開公司；美國的名校和台

大，則把自己看得很重，看作是

學術殿堂。

所以，台大可以出幾個諾貝

爾，大陸十多億人，卻無法“填

補空白”。

上海的同濟大學，也是老牌菁

英名校了，尤其是以建築系聞

名；然而，電視廣告里，它下屬

的“同濟大學裝潢公司”，居然

用同濟的金字招牌，拉裝潢生

意。

上海交大，也是百年名校，當

年曾為國民政府培養出多少棟樑

之材；現在的交大，不但有股票

上市公司（當然，同濟、北大、

清華等大陸名校都有），走在它

的校園里，簡直就像逛一個市

場。在廣元西路的校門旁邊，交

大用臨街校地蓋了一座６層大

樓，一樓二樓是電腦商場，裡面

分隔成許多狹小的店面，租給商

家賣電腦或組裝電腦。走道是那

樣的狹窄，商家再把桌子搬出來

拉客，讓人走都不好走。人人手

上一根煙，那空氣真叫一個污

濁。三樓是交大昂立書店，純粹

以營利為目的，連中小學生到幼

兒的參考書都賣。你能想象柏克

萊、史丹佛的大學書店裡面，賣

非學術方面的書？四樓以上則是

交大昂立學院，一個以營利為目

的的英語電腦進修學院。進了校

園，到處可以看到廣告，有交大

的這個英語培訓班，那個電腦培

訓班，原來交大不止一個昂立進

修學院，還有好幾類似的學店

呢。學生宿舍的一樓，被出租給

某個培訓班當教室，大白天的也

會聽到，這個那個英語培訓班里

傳出託福ｇｒｅ聽力模擬測驗的

錄音機聲音。小賣部旁邊，還有

一間店面是賣仿製的青銅器。還

有個地方，墻壁上用手很粗糙地

寫著：假肢，洽詢請進。交大還

有用學校名字作商標的“交大昂

立一號”補品，呵呵，西方人真

笨，怎麼不搞個「劍橋海狗

丸」、「牛津隆胸素」、「哈佛

腦鑽石」、「耶魯減肥茶」。

交大的系、所，分得真是細，

大概中國人都喜歡自立山頭，都

喜歡擁有好聽的頭銜，所以交大

有無限多的系主任、所長、院

長。

比方說，居然還有個“機器人

研究所”。耶魯大學整個工科，

就是一個系：工程系。

當知識變得如此支離破碎的時

候，你還指望能培養出有全局眼

光的棟樑之材?

當大學校園變得像個市場商場

的時候，你還指望能熏陶出什麼

優雅之士？聽上海的大學生和大

學畢業生的談話，永遠都只圍繞

著“個人”問題，出國啦，讀學

位啦，學英語啦，學電腦啦，工

作啦……。

在美國和台灣，大部分的社會

變革和進步，都是由學校和民間

的知識分子推動的；在上海，知

識分子是這樣的幸福，一切事情

都只需要等著上海市政府做。知

識分子讀書，只不過是為了賺

錢、結婚、傳宗接代而已。

這也不奇怪，叢林里的猩猩猴

子也是這樣呢。

甲：“聽說你找了個廳長的女兒，洪福

加艷福！恭喜恭喜，恭喜！”

乙：“老實講，我決不是因為她爸是高

幹才追她。不瞞你說，我也不怕人家說

我唯美主義，主要是她長得漂亮！”

“美到什麼程度？”

“我愛人美的程度，在弊省，超過副部

級，達到省軍級水平！”

“嘿，真新鮮！她人品如何？脾氣是不

是省軍級？”“很溫柔，脾氣毫無高干家

的小姐氣，因為我是工程師，換算入行

政職務屬於處級。”

“你真成了‘官迷’了，一切套級計算。”

韓國競爭力飆升之謎

科技與文化領跑張倩燁

韓國國家競爭力騰飛飆升，從十幾年

前亞洲金融危機時的「破產邊緣」，蛻變

為目前的發達國家。三星打敗諾基亞和蘋

果公司，成為全球最大的手機品牌，銷售

額居全球 IT 企業之首，創造新的「漢江奇

蹟」韓國的影視、音樂、動漫、網絡遊戲

等「韓流」向全球輸出。奇蹟背後是韓國

重視技術積累，在研發階段，政府會盡力

提供支持；成立韓國文化振興院，全力發

展「韓流」文化產業。如果說二十世紀七十年代韓國的經濟奇

蹟是「起飛」，那新世紀以來，韓國則可

稱得上是對全世界發出「佔領」的戰書。

今天的韓國，早已從當年「亞洲四小龍」

的同儕中脫穎而出，在智慧手機、造船、

化工等領域將香港、台灣、新加坡遠遠拋

離，挑戰日本及歐美，躋身發達國家行

列。

《朝鮮日報》與韓國樂金（LG）研究院

共同發布研究成果，稱韓國六月將正式步

入「二零│五零俱樂部」，即人均年收入

突破兩萬美元，全國人口達到五千萬。繼

日本、美國、法國、意大利、德國與英國

之後，韓國是第七個進入這一集團的國

家。

在十大成長動力產業中，帶給世界最大

驚奇的，莫過於移動通信產業。如今，韓

國三星已經超越索尼、諾基亞等手機製造

商，成為在國際市場與蘋果一決高下的知

名品牌。韓國的網速也高居全球第一，比

美國快了兩倍。對韓國人來說，「三星是

一個帝國」。二零一一年，三星電子銷售

額達一千四百八十六億美元，銷售額連續

兩年位居全球 IT 企業之首。二零一零年，

三星的銷售額佔韓國 GDP 的二成二。對

韓國人來說，這是個 Too Big To Fail 的支

柱企業。

韓國檀國大學經濟學教授金兌基向亞洲

週刊表示，三星和蘋果的競爭，實際上是

發明和製造革新主導市場的問題。「過去

蘋果有喬布斯可以超越三星，沒有喬布斯

是不能超越三星的，因為三星不是靠一個

CEO 來進行的。」「三星的競爭力是綜合

競爭力創造起來的」三星在發展產業的初

級階段，就注重技術積累。「三星製造業

這個發展模式，是一九八零年代製造半導

體開始發展的，雖然中國大陸與台灣模仿

三星的技術，但是三星八十年代累積下來

的研究開發組裝能力，在短時期內，中國

大陸沒辦法、台灣也沒辦法趕得上的。」

他還以韓日競爭為例，說明技術積累中的

關鍵步驟——一面「技術牆」。「韓國是

超越了這個牆之後就才超越日本的，所以

台灣和中國大陸要跳躍這個牆，還是很困

難的。」

除三星外，樂金集團（LG）也在全球科

技領域佔有一席之地，被認為是韓國最有

影響力的四大財閥之一，LG 在全球移動

電視市場佔據專利優勢，韓國媒體分析，

隨著移動電視風靡歐美，LG 將與三星收

穫鉅額專利費。

LG 集團大中華區創始人千辰煥在接受

亞洲週刊採訪時，解析了與美國、中國等

國相比，韓國科技飛速發展的原因，認為

美國與中國的基礎科學實力較強，但韓國

一直寄望於應用科學領域，希望能夠盡早

發展，超越中國。

韓國領先中國的制度優勢談到中韓應用科技領域的對比，千辰煥

表示，中國在從基礎科學向應用科學領域

轉變過程中，出現的根本問題是制度的問

題。「中國人非常聰明，醫療、科技方面

發明得很多，非常好，但是他們不願意在

中國開發這個東西。還沒有成熟的就拿到

美國，或者其他國家去發展起來。」

千辰煥介紹，韓國的經驗是，在研發階

段，韓國政府會盡力提供財政政策上的支

持，「但怎麼做他們不管」。中國政府也

鼓勵應用科學發展，「但有政治上的目

的」。他用一個小故事解釋了中國政府在一些

研發項目中的作用：「比如癌症方面，我

們認識很好的朋友，他們差不多十年前就

發明瞭非常好的針對癌症方面的藥，本來

做的是乳房癌症，後來所有的癌症都可以

治療。但是他們不願意申請中國的 FDA（藥檢局專利），賣給美國醫療公司……

他們和美國非常大的醫藥公司（合作），

董事長坐飛機過來北京、上海談的時候，

旁邊有安插（中國的）情報員。」當韓國企業用智慧手機和移動電視將全

球移動市場逐漸收入「掌中」時，韓國文

化產業則對全球文化消費者進行著眼球的

佔領。從金融危機中孕育出的「韓流」，

十幾年間風靡亞洲，走向歐美，千萬青少

年成為韓國流行文化的狂熱粉絲。

在日本和台灣，「韓流」的威力是通過

「反韓流」行動得以證明的。由於擔心

「韓流」入侵對本地文化產業造成衝擊，

日本、台灣曾多次發生「反韓流」遊行，

示威者表示擔心韓國文化入侵造成本土文

化的失落，從屢次的千人遊行中，韓流的

威力可見一斑。

發展「韓流」作為國家意志肇始於一九

九八年。金融危機期間，剛剛就任總統的

金大中決意調整產業政策，成立文化觀光

部，逐年提高國家總預算中對於文化觀光

產業的投資。一九九九年十二月，韓國國

會整合所有傳播相關法規，統一為《二零

零零年傳播法》，其中規定電視台播放國

產電影必須佔電影播放時間的百分之二十

五，保護本國文化產業。

二零零一年八月，韓國文化觀光部發布

「發展韓流」文化產業方案，「韓流」正

式命名。同時，成立韓國文化振興院，舉

全國之力發展包括電影、電視、動漫、音

樂、手機與網絡等相關文化內容產業。

爭取掌握世界文化霸權素有「韓流之父」之稱的韓國 SM 娛樂

公司創辦人曾李秀滿的一段表態，透露了

韓國向全球輸出文化的野心。二零一一

年，在韓流未來戰略論壇上，李秀滿曾表

示，他有一個遠大的目標：建立假想中的

國家，讓外國粉絲成為假像國家的「國

民」。李秀滿說：「過去是企業先向海外

發展，文化緊隨其後，但現在變成文化幫

助企業的當地活動。要讓 K-POP 等韓流成

為國家基礎產業。」他判斷，今後世界文

化產業將從以國家為單位的競爭轉化為地

區競爭格局，希望向亞洲國家傳授韓國過

去所積累的流行文化的挖掘、培訓以及製

作經驗，並「爭取使以韓流為基礎的東方

流掌握世界文化霸權」。

「韓流」產業的全球擴張，在賺得經濟效

益同時，也是韓國軟實力輸出的體現。事

實上，早在上世紀末，韓國的對外文化輸

出就有計劃地開始了。成立於一九九一年

的韓國國際交流財團，多年來致力於向外

推廣韓國文化，推動韓國學研究，為提升

韓國國家軟實力做出了重要貢獻，目前已

在全球範圍內資助超過五十個國家和地區

的一百五十多所大學的韓國學研究。

韓流軟實力輸出全球

金宇祥表示，韓國在短短三十年的時間

裏，同時完成了政治上的民主化過程，與

經濟的現代化，國家發展的成功經驗在全

世界也極為罕見。韓國希望通過對外交

流，向外推廣韓國成功經驗，「韓國模式

不一定要其他國家全部引用，但起碼要可

以值得研究探討，學術上也是值得研究的

一個有重要價值的東西」。

談到韓國軟實力輸出的成功案例，金宇

祥想起了一位在韓國學習國際政治學的肯

尼亞留學生。這位留學生對韓國媒體表

示，希望學成歸國之後，能帶動肯尼亞的

一些民主制度化的工程，為之做出貢獻，

希望肯尼亞成為民主體制的國家。「他

（肯尼亞留學生）不但學習韓國的文化，

特別是流行文化，也得學習韓國這個短暫

歷史內轉變的過程，對他們來說也有值得

他們學習的、值得探討的內容。」

今年是韓中建交二十週年，二零一一

年，韓國共有六萬二千四百四十二人赴中

國留學，佔赴中國留學總人數的百分之二

十一點三，是中國留學生人數最多的國

家，而留學韓國的中國留學生總人數為六

萬三千人，佔韓國留學生總數的八成四，

也是韓國留學生的第一大國。

亞裔在美崛起

成功動輒遭嫉亞裔已成為美國教育程度和

所得最高、成長最快的族群，

與美國猶太人一樣，成為移民

成功的象徵，也承受一些隨之

而來的負擔。

亞裔在美國社會一直是處於

邊緣的少數族裔，現在卻快速

崛起，而職業男籃新星林書豪

是最顯著的代表性人物。今年

3 月甚至有人問歐巴馬總統，

知不知道林書豪已超過他，成

為名氣最響亮的哈佛畢業生。

林書豪今年春天即鼓勵亞裔

佔多數的紐約市史岱文森高中

畢業生：「絕不要讓任何人告

訴你，你做不到什麼。」

華爾街日報 27 日在名為「虎族

崛起」(Rise of the Tiger Nation)的專文中指出，哈佛和耶魯等

長春藤名校精英，當年曾因感

受猶太人的威脅，對他們秘密

訂定招生限額。現在這些名校

有些也被控歧視亞裔學生。

這顯示亞裔與猶太人移民美

國的歷史雖然非常不同，卻因

成就傑出面對同樣境遇。亞裔

已成為最能表現美國讓富有決

心毅力的人，實現成功夢想的

移民團體。他們不僅超越西班

牙語裔，成為人數最多的美國

新移民團體，對追求美國夢想

更是積極。

2000 年到 2010 年亞裔人口

成長 46%，2010 年的人數已經

是 1980 年的四倍，成長速率超

過任何其他族群。

小說「大亨小傳」(The Great Gatsby)中的白人至上主義者布

坎南曾對「黃禍」表示驚駭

說：「我們如果不注意，白人

會被整個淹沒。」這種觀念在

今天可能讓人覺得很要不得，

可是面對亞裔源源而來，以及

他們驚人的成就，沒有更多美

國人懷有這種心態實在很不容

易。

猶太人是在成就與穩定方

面，與亞裔最類似的美國移民

團體。他們沒有像早期的亞裔

移民引起強烈種族仇恨，得以

更快在美國站穩腳步。但是，

猶太人在文化上不像亞裔那麼

沉默內斂，野心也更大，積極

向政治、社會和娛樂等各界發

展，因此進入美國社會後面對

更強烈的阻力。

亞裔在美國的發展與猶太人

正好相反。當年來到美國的猶

太移民，大多身無分文。現在

的亞裔移民卻比任何其他移民

團體受過更高的教育，也更富

裕，而他們通常避免涉及政

治。

亞裔驚人的成就，讓人懷疑

他們能夠避免強烈恐懼和嫉妒

多久，尤其是在經濟低迷，或

是美國與中國等亞洲國家發生

經濟和政治衝突之時。如果中

國有一天真的成為美國的敵

人，華裔的不安情緒絕對會超

過美國猶太人的忠誠受到質疑

之時。

蔡美兒去年出版「虎媽的戰

歌」受到那麼多激烈攻擊，有

部分或許與怨恨亞裔在美國崛

起，尤其嫉妒亞裔能夠教養出

「完美」子女有關。

猶太人的語言活力、智識和

尖銳諷刺傾向，以及強烈競爭

個性，會不會被亞裔的審慎拘

謹，敬重社區，對音樂、科學

和數學等非語言領域的天賦所

取代？社會會不會回到當初由

白人清教徒主導時一樣，變得

比較沉靜？

文化的本質變幻不定，亞裔

也不乏狂放風趣的領袖人物。

林書豪在為史岱文森高中畢業

典禮錄製的影片，即與亞裔朋

友一起演唱滑稽的饒舌歌。就

像從世界其他地方來到美國的

人一樣，他們混身散發對一切

毫不在乎和活力旺盛的美國作

風。

샬롯 한인회 소식 The News of Korean’s Assoication

* 미동남부 최초로 차세데 리더 소셜 네트워크 모임개최

애틀랜타총영사관에서는 오는 2012년 12월 14일(금) 미동남부 최초로 차세데 리더 소셜 네트워크 모임개최를 예정하고 준비 중에 있다. 차세대 네트워크 구축사업은 올해 처음 실시 예정인 행사이나 추후 지속적으로 개최하여 동남부 지역에서 활동중인 차세대 리더들의 체계적인 네트워킹을 구축해 능력 있는 우리 한인 차세대들이 더욱 활발히 미 주류사회에 진출 할 수 있도록 서로 돕고 협조하는 발판을 마련하는데 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.이에 따라 보다 많은 한인차세대들의 인적 자료가 데이터 베이스화 될 수 있도록 각 지역에서 활동하고 있는1.5~2세대 (현재 활동 중인 한인 차세대 리더, 의학계, 학계, 법조계, 예술계, 체육계, 문화계, 정계, Business CEO 등) 인재들을 각 지역 한인회장의 추천을 통해 발굴을 추진하고 있다.추천자들은 12월 행사에 초청이 되어 질 예정이며, 행사에 참석이 불가능 하다 하더라도 차세대 네트워킹에 소중한 자료로 활용될 것이니 활발히 활동하고 있는 인재들이 누락되는 일이 없도록 적극적인 관심과 노력을 부탁 드린다. 이번 사업은 총영사관에서 각별히 관심을 가지고 진행하고 있는 핵심 주요사업이니만큼 많은 협조 있기를 거듭 당부 한다. 문의: 한인회 704-214-0860 (방호상 회장) / [email protected]

한인 베트남참전 용사들 공로인정VA주 상원서도 결의안 추진

한국군으로 베트남전에 참전한후 미 시민권자가된 참전용사들의 희생과 공로를 인정하는 내용의 결의안 채택이 지난번 뉴저지주에 이어 버지니아주 의회에서도 추진된다. 미주 메트남참전 유공전우 총연합회 (회장 한창욱)는 지난 9월 29일 저녁 우래옥에서 쳅 피터슨 버지니아주 상원의원이 참석한 가운데 기자회견을 열어 주 상원결의안(Resolution) 추진에 대해 밝혔다한창욱 회장은 “미 시민권자가 된 베트남 참전 한인들은 한국군으로 싸웠지만 한국 정부로부터 아무런 인정도, 혜택도 받지 못하고 있다”며 “연방 의회에서의 한인 시민권자 참전용사들의 명예 회복을 위해서 주 의회나 정부에서 공식적인 결의안이 도움이 될 것”이라고 추진 배경을 밝혔다.이번 결의안은 “한인 베트남 참전용사들은 미국 군인들과 동등하게 희생을 치럿기 때문에 이들의 희생을 기려야 한다”는 내용을 골자로 하고있다. 챕 피터슨 의원은 “버지니아주 상원에서 버지니아 거주 한인 시민권자 참전용사들을 영예롭게 여기고 이를 기억하기 위한 결의안을 상정하고자 한다”며 “내년 1, 2월쯤에는 결의안이 채택될수 있을 것”이라고 내다봤다.한인 시민권자 베트남전 참전용사들에 대한 결의안은 2010년 워싱턴주에 이어 괌, 하와이, 뉴저지에서 잇따라 채택되었고 버지니아에 앞서 지난8월에는 메릴랜드 주 상원에서 캐런 몽고메리 의원을 통해 결의안을 상정한바 있다 한창욱 회장은 “총 연합회에서는 12개 주에서 결의안이 채택되는걸 목표

로 뛰고있다”며 “미국에만 약 2천400명위 베트남 참전 한인 시님권자가 있는것으로 추산한다”고 말했다. 주 의회에서의 결의안은 법적인 구속력을 갖는건 아니나 한인 참전 용사들의 희생과 공로를 공식 인정하는 의미에다 향후 연방의회 차원의 결의안 채택에 도움이 된다는점에 큰 의의가 있다.

버지니아 리치몬드에 소재한 유니온신학교(Union Presbyterian Seminary)의 아시안 센터(디렉터 장성희 교수) 샬롯 캠퍼스 이전을 기념하며 10월 29일(월)과 30일(화), 양일간에 걸쳐 한인 목회자 교육세미나가 있었다. 지난 여름 새 건물이 완공된 후 처음으로 열린 샬롯 캠퍼스의 세미나가 한인 목회자들을 위해 열린 것은 학교적으로나 한인교회적으로 매우 뜻 깊은 일이다. 이번 세미나는 성경의 사실적 배경( The Real Background of the Bibel)이라는 주제로 성서지리연구원 원장이자 조지아크리스찬대학교 조교수인 이주섭 목사가 강사로 수고를 했다. 지난 1년간 성경의 땅 지도와 3D 모형을 제

한편 케롤라이나 지회(회장 전태현)에서는 지난6월15일(금요일) 오전11시부터 100 Bragg Blvd. Fayettsville,NC National Museum에서 6.25때 전사한 8240부대(군번없는용사)를 기념하기위한 추모비 건립식에 샬롯에서는 전태현회장과 최기수전우. 성기태전우가 참석하였으며 와싱톤에서 8240회장 장인규회장과 미주총연합회 한창욱회장등 수석부회장, 부회장, 사무총장, 재무위원장, 고엽제위원장, 고문 한분과 워싱톤 베트남전우회 지회장.등 총19명이 참석했으며 한국정부에서는 국가보훈처 차장인 전용진씨가 참석였으며 추모식 후에 Hibachi 식당으로 자리를 옮겨 국가보훈처 전용진차장과 회원들이 환담을 가진 자리에서 본국에서의 베트남참전용사들의 처우에 대한 질문등에 대해서 본국에서도 많은 관심을 가지고 처우개선을 하고 있는중 이라는 답변과 계속 개선해 나갈것 이라는 대답도 듣는 등 화기애애한 자리였다.또한 아직 이 기쁜 소식을 알지 못하는 전우들이 많을 것으로 보고 주위에 계시는 분들 중에 베트남 참전전우들이 계시면 캐롤라이나 회장 전태현씨에게 연락해주시기를 부탁 드린다고 전했다.연락처 : 회장 전태현(704.578.7944)E-mail : [email protected]주소:Korean Veterans Association of Car-olina 417 Cecil St Charlotte NC 28204 ■

사용하여 입체적인 성경 이해의 틀을 제시했다. 이번 세미나에 버지니아와 노스캐롤라이나의 지역에서 초교파적으로 21명의 목회자와 사모들이 참석을 했는데 참석자들은 이주섭 목사의 해박하고 열정적인 강의를 통해 성지순례가 아닌 성지학습의 중요성에 깊이 공감하고 이 목사의 강의가 일회적인 세미나로 끝나지 말고 주기적 연구모임으로 발전 되기를 요청하였다. 이주섭 목사는 이 요청을 받아 들여 연 4회, 1박2일의 연구모임을 유니온 신학교의 리치몬드 캠퍼스와 샐롯 캠퍼스에서 각각 가지며 이 두모임의 멤버들과 함께 그 다음 해에 성경의 땅을 방문하여 현장 학습을 하는 프로그램 개발을 약속하였다.■

남부 한인장로교회담임: 송성섭 목사

“흑암에 비친 빛” 인도 단기선교 10월 2일부터 12일까지 인도 라자스탄 지역으로 떠났던 단기선교팀이 풍성한 수확을 가지고 돌아왔다. 12-3억에 달하는 인구에 3억의 우상들을 가지고 있는 흑암의 땅 인도에는 세계 민전도 종족의 반이 되는 3000 종족이 살고 있다. 절대빈곤 속에 삶의 무게에 찌들려 소망없이 살고 있는 저들을 향한 하나님 아버지의 마음을 가지고 열흘 동안 쉴새없이 복음을 전했다. 선교단을 이끌고 가신 담임목사님께서 현지에서 보내주신 이메일 속에서 “지구의 완전 반대편 - 이름도 알 수 없는 수많은 귀신들이 백성들을 사로잡고 있는 이 땅에 하나님의 급하신 구령의 마음을 느끼며 또 한 놀라우신 하나님의 역사를 경험하며 다만 감사와 영광만을 드릴 뿐입니다. 만물에 찌끼만도 못한 저희들에게 복음의 영광을 알게 하시고 더우기마 추수의 기쁨을 우리에게 허락해 주시니 감사할 뿐입니다. … 참으로 놀라운 것은 모이면 모인 모든 사람들이 다 주님을 영접하고 세례를 받는 기이한 일들이 벌어지고 있습니다. 일반적으로 이곳에서 복음을 소개받는 인도 사람들이 주님을 영접할 찬스가 이 지구촌 어느곳보다 높아 그 비율이 3명에게 전하면 1명이 복음을 받는 놀라운 영적 추수가 이곳에서 일어나고 있습니다. 하지

만 지금 우리가 경험하고 있는 것은 그 정도가 아닙니다. 10명이 모이면 10명, 20명이 모이면 20명이 다 복음을 받고 세례를 받는 일들이 연일 일어나고 있습니다”라고 전해주셨다. 인도단기선교 기간 동안 매일 8시 교회에서는 단기선교를 위한 기도회가 있었고, 시

간마다 모인 성도들의 간절한 기도의 부르짖음으로 보내는 선교사들의 역할을 감당했다. 하루 평균 30명 가량이

전교인 가족 수련회 실시 캐롤라이나 한인교회 성도들은 지난 10월 27일~28일 양일간 블로잉락 리트릿센터에서 가족수련회를 가졌다. 바쁜 이민생활 속에서 모처럼 휴식을 취하면서 찬양과 기도와 말씀과 교제로 영육간에 재충전의 귀한 시간을 가졌다. 토요 저녁에는 온 성도들이 캠프파이어를 가지면서 서로를 알아가는 시간을 가졌고, 즉석에서 찬양과 율동을 통한 즐거운 시간을 가졌다. 일박이일의 짧은 시간 속에서 성도들은 더 머물고 싶은 간절한 바램이 있었지만 아쉬운 마음을 달래며 샬롯으로 돌아올

수 밖에 없었다. 캐롤라이나 한인교회 성도들은 수련회를 통해 얻은 새 힘으로 세상 속에서 그리스도의 증인된 삶을 충성되이 감당하기로 다짐하였다.

신 예배당에서 토요 성경공부2. 캐롤라이나 한인교회는 12월 첫째 주일부터 매튜 빼빼로 근처에 있는 독립 건물을 임차하여 새 예배당에서 예배를 드리게 되었다. 그 동안 캐롤라이나 한인교회 성도들은 독립된 예배 처소를 위해 오래 기도해왔는데 이번에 그 기도의 응답을 받게 되었다. 새 예배처소의 주소는 10506

Monroe Rd. Matthews NC 28105이다. 캐롤라이나 한인교회는 예배 처소의 이전과 함께 주일 예배 시간을 현재 오후2시에서 오전 10시 30분으로 변경할 예정이다. 아울러 토요 새벽기도 후 간단한 아침식사와 함께 토요성경공부를 11월 3일 부터 시작한다. 교재는 로이드 존스 목사님의 교리강좌시리즈 1권(부흥과 개혁사간)이다. 관심있는 분은 캐롤라이나 한인교회(704-488-1187)로 연락주시기 바란다.

특별 간증 집회 실시3. 캐롤라이나 한인교회는 지난 10월 19일 열린교회 성도들과 함께 워싱톤에서 홈리스 사역을 하고 계시는 나운주목사님(광야교회 담임)을 모시고 특별간증집회를

가졌다. 워싱톤 크랭클린 파크에서 7여년 동안 홈리스 사역을 해 오시면서 미국 사회에 신선한 감동을 주고 계신 목사님의 회심경험과 그 동안의 사역 내용을 들으면서 많은 성도들이 큰 은혜를 받을 수 있었다. 캐롤라이나 한인교회는 이번 특별간증집회를 계기로 샬롯지역의 홈리스들을 정기적으로 방문하여 그들을 돕는 사역을 시작하기로 했다. 그 사역의 일환으로 11월 중에 홈리스 셀터를 방문하여 그들에게 식사제공과 함께 친교하는 시간을 가지기로 했다. ■

예수님을 영접하고 세례를 받는 놀라운 역사가 일어났고 계속해서 가정교회로 또 지역교회로 성장해갈 수 있도록 현지인 영적 지도자들을 훈련하는 일들도 계속되고 있다. 복음이 땅끝까지 이를 때까지 우리는 이 일을 감당해갈 것이다.

구역대항 장기자랑 대회 10월 28일 주일 오후 2시에는 7전도회 주최의 구역대항 장기자랑 대회가 열렸다. 8구역이 참가했는데, 인형극, 난타공연, 아카펠라, 노래와 율동, 영상을 이용한 연극, 성극, 무언스킷 등의 다양한 프로그램을 가지고 열띤 경쟁을 벌였다. 첫무대를 장식한 구역은 야광스틱과 대형 페인트통을 이용한 멋진 난타 공연으로 분위기를 사로 잡았다. 최연장 성도들의 구역에서는 “다윗과 골리앗” 인형극을 준비해 쩌렁쩌렁한 목소리 연기로 재능을 마음껏 발휘했고, 구역의 자녀들의 악기솜씨, 발레 솜씨를 마음껏 보여준 구역도 있었다. 1등은 “인생대박” 나오미와 룻의 이야기를 코믹하면서도 감동적으로 그려준 구역이 차지했다. 각기 다른 재능을 가진 지체들이 한 몸을 이루어 성령의 하나되게 하신 것을 힘써 지켜나가는 하나님의 걸작품, 교회의 아름다움이 마음껏 표출된 행사였다. 준비와 진행을 위해 수고한 7전도회에 감사드린다. ■

미니카에서 선교사역을 담당하고 있는 최광규 선교사의 선교보고와 한기홍 목사(은혜한인교회)의 메시지로 첫 일정을 마무리 했다. 세계 선교를 위한 “네트워크 전략회의” 중심으로 이뤄진 둘째날 집회는 11개 네트웍별 사역발표와 협의 모임을 진행했다. 발표가 진행된 11개 네트웍은 ▲교회선교교육(이원상) ▲EM선교(정민용) ▲지도력개발(최바울) ▲선교지교회개척(양태철) ▲미디어선교(이종문) ▲전문인선교(호성기) ▲교육선교(송제임스) ▲세계캠퍼스사역(김아브라함) ▲선교사지원사역(황선규) ▲중보기도사역(김태진) ▲미전도종족사역 등이었으며 선교 네트워크 전략 중심으로 선교 사역 중심의 주제 발표 후 네트워크 협의 모임 후 협의 사항등을 보고 등을 하였다.셋째 날과 넷째 날 진행된 킴넷 선교집회는 “개교회 선교 잠재력 개발”을 주제로 선교 논의가 이뤄졌다. 양일간에 걸쳐 총 7개의 주제를 다루는 선교 논의는 ▲선교가 중심된 교회(발제: Bill Harding, 응답: 김경식) ▲지역교회 선교적 사명과 실천(발제: 한기홍, 응답: 최동갑) ▲선교와 리더십(발제: 박희민, 응답: 김용훈) ▲지역교회의 구체적 선교참여

(발제: 이상진, 응답: 윤명호) ▲선교로 하나되게 하시는 성령과 기도(발제: 정인수, 응답: 오석환) ▲선교와 제자훈련(발제: 유승관, 응답: 송상철) ▲지역교회의 선교 실천 방안(발제: 임현수) 등으로 중소교회를 깨우는 너무나 알찬 내용들로 참석자들에게 도전과 비전으로 이어졌다. 선교대회 기간 중에는 또 킴넷 동역선교사 모임이 별도로 마련되어 있어 선교사들과 킴넷간의 구체적인 협력 방안을 논의하기도 했다. 선언문 채택으로 마지막 선교에 대한 논의를 마친 이번 선교대회는 이어 목요일 밤에 500여명의 샬롯 미국 사회지도자와 아시아 민족 지도자들을 초정하여 개최 한 다민족선교축제로 절정을 이루었다. 이와 같은 일정으로 킴넷의 공식적인 선교대회를 마친 이후 샬롯장롯교회에서는 20일(금)부터 22일(주일)까지는 에스더기도운동 대표 이용희 교수가 주강사로 나서‘열방을 위한 기도성회’를 추가로 개최하여 샬롯장로교회의 선교대회가 최종적으로 마무리 되어 과거 어느 선교 대회 보다 더욱 알차고 깊이 있는 도전과 큰 비젼을 주는 하나님의 큰 은총아래 이와 같은 큰 행사를 마칠 수 있었다. ■

Shen Yun—Reviving 5,000 years of civilization

AFTER SELLING OUT shows at Lincoln Center this past January, New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts is returning to Lincoln Center in April for a limited six-show engagement.

Shen Yun cannot be seen in China today, where traditional culture has been mostly destroyed under communist rule. Yet, Shen Yun has become a global cultural sensation, bringing the virtues and wisdom of traditional Chinese culture to millions of people across four continents.

“A mesmerizing performance ... reclaiming the divinely inspired cultural heritage of China.”— Donna Karan, creator of DKNY

“An extraordinary experience ... exquisitely beautiful.”— Cate Blanchett, Academy Award-winning actress
