Chinese Christians and leaders attended the annual "Envision" conference held online by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ).
The conference was conducted from January 25 to 28 for pastors and ministry leaders, featuring "Leading in times of crisis."
According to ICEJ, the Envision conference usually takes place to "coincide with the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27th each year – the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz – so that Christian leaders can observe this event at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and learn more about Israel."
This year's event includes two daily live events, prayer sessions, and more than 20 sessions, drawing "over 650 participants from more than 50 nations."
Pastors and leaders in the marketplace, such as business, media, and public service, testified how they served as light and salt in their occupations.
Speakers included Rev. Peter Tsukahira from Israel, American Christian media professional Phil Cooke, Singaporean Pastor Edmond Chan, US congressman Ralph Drollinger, and more.
On the first day, ICEJ President Dr. Jürgen Bühler urged people to face the coronavirus pandemic with a positive attitude through the book of Habakkuk.
According to its official website, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established in 1980 to recognize the biblical significance of all of Jerusalem and its unique connection with the Jewish people. It acknowledges the restoration of the State of Israel God's faithfulness to keep His ancient covenant with the Jewish people. The organization launched the annual Feast of Tabernacles gathering in Jerusalem in the 1980s.
2021年1月25-28日，2021年ICEJ牧者领袖异象聚会（ICEJ Envision）在线举办，全球各地包括中国的许多基督徒和牧者领袖参与了此次特会。
本次聚会的主题为“风浪中的领导者”，旨在让教会牧者及信徒领袖成为暴风中的灯塔，展现自己因着信心和信仰在自己的领域所发的光。
聚会每天从耶路撒冷发出两场直播，直播伴有同声传译。除直播外，还有在线祷告会和20多场研讨会。
来自信仰、商业、媒体、公共服务、以色列议题等不同领域的信徒领袖，分别分享自己是如何因着信心与信仰在自己的领域发光的。其中包含：彼得·冢平牧师分享“危机时刻的天国领导”；基督徒媒体人菲尔·库克分享"数位教会"；新加坡曾金发牧师分享“门训宣教”；带领美国白宫内阁成员每周三查经班的德罗林格牧师分享"危机时刻的领导”等。
聚会第一天，ICEJ全球主席优根·布勒博士（Jürgen Bühler）鼓励大家以积极的态度面对疫情，并为大家分享了圣经中哈巴谷书的教导。哈巴谷先知处在迦勒底人攻打以色列人的前一年，他心中有一个疑问：“我呼求你，你不应允，要到几时呢？我因强暴哀求你，你还不拯救。”他那时面对的艰难环境，就像我们现在面对的疫情一样。但是他仍然在祷告当中寻求神。布勒博士鼓励大家像哈巴谷先知一样，靠近上帝、寻求神，义人必因信得生。而且神在一切的事情都是掌权的，他正在成就美好的旨意。同时，我们也不能忘记向着上帝的赞美，就像哈巴谷先知最终的告白：“我要因耶和华欢欣，因救我的神喜乐。”
耶路撒冷国际基督徒使馆（International Christian Embassy Jerusalem / ICEJ）是一个著名的福音派全球事工，1980年成立，总部在耶路撒冷，把以赛亚书40章1节：“你们要安慰，安慰我的百姓”作为蒙召事奉的经文，代表教会、各宗派及全世界千百万的基督徒，向以色列表达关爱，并寻求修复教会与犹太人之间的历史伤痕。其服事的主要内容有：以实际的方式表达对以色列的支持与友谊，包含对回归的犹太人、大屠杀幸存者、贫穷家庭、恐怖攻击受害家庭等的帮助；教导全球教会有关神对以色列的心意，并且作为链接教会与以色列的桥梁；在犹太人、阿拉伯人与基督徒之间，成为和好的管道；兴起全球的基督徒为以色列及中东祷告等。其每年秋天在耶路撒冷举行的住棚节特会，现已成为以色列年度最大的基督徒聚集。
