來隨隨我 COME FOLLOW ME

什麼是「來跟隨我」之旅？

What is a Come Follow Me Tour?

東北臺灣基督教協會（NETCA）每年都會舉辦「來跟隨我」（Come Follow Me，簡稱 CFM）之旅，這是一項國際性、跨文化、語言交流的外展與陪伴式門徒培訓計畫。每年大約有二十位臺灣青少年與孩童申請參加這個特別的機會。若申請者經 NETCA 錄取，他們將在一月開始參加為期六個月的訓練課程，預備在七月下旬至八月中旬的行程中服事。這六個月的訓練課程教導青年如何在美國教會的環境中，為英語系的一到六年級美國孩童帶領「亞洲聖經學校」。Northeast Taiwan Christian Association (NETCA) hosts an annual Come Follow Me (CFM) trip which is an international, intercultural, and language exchange outreach and mentorship program. Each year about twenty Taiwanese youth and children apply for this special opportunity. If the applicant is chosen by NETCA they are enrolled in a six-month training course that starts in the January that precedes the trip in late July through mid-August. The six-month training program teaches the youth how to lead an Asian Bible School, primarily in an American church setting in the U.S. for English-speaking American children from grades 1–6.        

CFM 由理查與潔西・（羅禮德牧師 和 吳建蘭師母）於 2007 年在臺灣創立，迄今已訓練超過兩百位臺灣青少年，並帶領他們在十次不同的 CFM 之旅中舉辦亞洲聖經學校。CFM 每年也會帶領團隊前往迪士尼世界、大峽谷、紐約市、尼加拉瀑布、阿拉斯加、黃石公園等有趣景點。 CFM began in Taiwan in 2007 by Richard and Jessie Roberts, and has trained over 200 Taiwanese young people that have led Asian Bible Schools on ten different CFM trips. CFM also takes each year’s teams to fun places like Disney World, Grand Canyon, New York City, Niagara Falls, Alaska, Yellowstone Park etc.

什麼是亞洲聖經學校？

What is an Asian Bible School

亞洲聖經學校（Asian Bible School, ABS）是一個特別規劃的暑期課程，通常於美國教會舉辦。ABS 的目的，是鼓勵主要來自台灣與美國的兒童與青少年，能夠與其他國家、文化、背景與語言的同齡人互動。ABS 不僅提供一個安全的環境讓學生接受實用技能的訓練，也教導他們在情感與靈性上重要的品格功課，例如：耐心、理解、憐憫、尊重、誠實、自我控制、感恩、勇氣、饒恕、祝福與謙卑。An Asian Bible School or ABS is a specially designed summer school held in American churches. An ABS aims to inspire mostly Taiwanese and American children and youth to interact with people their age from other nations, cultures, backgrounds and languages. An ABS not only provides a safe space for practical skills training, but also, for important emotional and spiritual lessons like patience, understanding, compassion, respect, honesty, self-control, gratitude, courage, forgiveness, blessing and humility.

凡被錄取並通過在台灣所舉辦的六個月「來跟隨我」訓練課程的學生，將前往美國主辦兩場亞洲聖經學校（ABS）。這些 ABS 的運作方式，很像台灣的暑期英語營，或美國的暑期 VBS／教會夏令營。美國教會始終提供安全的場地來舉辦我們的 ABS。每一場 ABS 都從星期三到星期日舉行，時間為早上 9 點至下午 4 點。每天的營會活動都從「集合時間」開始，所有美國孩子與台灣青年一起回顧前一天的內容，並預備當天的期待。語言遊戲、品格建立活動、問答時間與獎品，也都包含在大會時間中。Students who are accepted and who pass the six-month “Come Follow Me Training Course” held in Taiwan will journey to America to host and two Asian Bible Schools. These ABS’ flow very much like a summer English camp in Taiwan or a summer VBS or church camp in America. American churches always provide safe places to host our ABS. Each ABS is held Wednesday through Sunday from 9am until 4 pm. Each camp day starts out with a general assembly for all the American kids and Taiwanese youth to review the day before and prepare the students for that day’s expectations. Language games, character building exercises, Q&A and prizes are also included in the General Assembly.

在大會時間之後，孩子們會分成四個一小時的課程小組，每小時輪流到下一堂課。所教授的課程包括：After the General Assembly the kids break into four one-hour classes and rotate every hour to another class. The classes taught are:

1. 屬神品格、華語與宣教 Godly Character, Mandarin & Mission

2. 亞洲藝術與書法 Asian Art & Calligraphy

3. 亞洲敬拜音樂 Asian Praise Music

4. 亞洲遊戲 Asian Games

年輕的台灣老師會為每位美國孩子取一個中文名字，並在教授四門課程的同時，一併教導中文。每一堂課都包含遊戲、競賽與獎勵。當 ABS 結束時，美國孩子將能夠用中文背誦幾節聖經經文，也能唱幾首中文的敬拜詩歌。他們也會學會如何使用毛筆寫下自己的中文名字、「耶穌愛你」、「上帝祝福你」、「你好」、「你叫什麼名字」、「你從哪裡來」、山、日、月，以及用中文從一數到十等。在這個過程中，來自台灣的青年也必須運用自己的英語能力與美國孩子溝通。The young Taiwanese teachers give each American child a Chinese name, and begin to teach the four subjects while teaching the Chinese language at the same time. Again, each class offers games, competitions, and awards. When ABS is completed the American children will be able to speak a few bible verses in Chinese and sing some praise songs in Chinese. They will also know how to use a calligraphy brush to write their Chinese name, Jesus loves you, God bless you, how are you, what is your name, where are you from, mountain, Sun, Moon and how to count to ten in Chinese etc. In the process the youth from Taiwan also have to use their English skills to communicate with the American children.

亞洲聖經學校（ABS）是兒童與青少年預備未來、迎接本地與全球互動的最佳機會之一。在他們的世代中，人工智能 AI 將推動全球溝通，並以全新而令人興奮的方式幫助他們理解這個世界。現在正是開始學習技能、認識不同文化、並掌握多種語言的時候。這個機會也提供一個安全的環境，無論在台灣或美國，都在值得信賴的教會中進行，由深切關心您孩子身心靈成長與安全的領袖們來帶領。ABS is one of the greatest opportunities for children and youth to prepare for local and / or world interactions. In their lifetime Artificial Intelligence or AI I will drive them to communicate globally and understand their world in a new and exciting way. Now is the time to start learning skills, understanding cultures and speaking multiple languages. This opportunity also offers a safe environment for your young ones within a trusted church setting both in Taiwan and America where there are leaders who care deeply about the safety and the mental, emotional and spiritual growth of your children.

台灣的青年是如何受訓的？

How are Taiwan’s Youth Trained?

當申請者被錄取進入 CFM 計畫後，申請者或其家長／監護人將被邀請加入我們以 LINE App 建立的「2026 CFM 群組」。加入 LINE 群組後，我們會持續在群組中傳達訓練過程中的每一個下一步。然而，整體流程大致如下：一月中會有一次會議、二月下旬一次、三月兩次、四月兩次、五月三次、六月四次，以及七月三次。2026 年的美國行極有可能在 7 月 20 日出發，並於 2026 年 8 月 14 日左右返回。大部分的聚會都會安排在週日早上。After an applicant is accepted into the CFM program the applicant or the parent / guardian will be asked to join our 2026 CFM group which will be created using the LINE app. Once they have joined the LINE group we will continue to communicate each next step of the training process. However it will look something like this: There will be one meeting in mid-January, one meeting in late February, two meetings in March, two meetings in April, three meetings in May and four meetings in June and three meetings in July. The trip to America in 2026 will most likely depart July 20th and return around April 14, 2026. Most all meetings will be on Sunday mornings.

一月、二月和三月的聚會將著重於建立異象、辦理護照，以及進行團隊建立活動。在前往美國之前，所有學生都必須彼此之間、以及與領導團隊建立堅固的友誼與信任。January, February and March meetings will be about setting the vision, obtaining passports, and team building exercises. All students must develop a strong friendship with each other and with the leadership before departing to the USA.

四月和五月將著重於學習如何成為美國孩子的課程老師與中文老師。我們也會在仍然停留於台灣的期間，於 3 月 29 日和 4 月 5 日進行一些小型活動的實際演練。April and May will be about learning how to be a teacher of the classes and the Chinese language to American children. We will also practice doing some small events on March 29 and April 5 while still in Taiwan.

在五月底以及整個六月期間，我們將專注於以團隊方式進行募款，而每位成員都必須參與。At the end of May and all of June we will be focused on fundraising as a group, and everyone much participate.

如果您的孩子因其他活動而無法參加週日早上的練習課程，那麼他們將會很難成為團隊的一員。請在申請這個為期六個月的特別活動之前慎重考量。我們需要所有台灣青年都能投入並承諾參與團隊與每一次聚會。If your child is involved in other activities where they cannot attend the practice sessions Sunday mornings it will be difficult for them to be a part of the team. Please consider this before applying for this special six-month activity. We need all of the Taiwanese youth to be committed to the team and the meetings.

所有在 LINE 群組中的成員都會持續收到每一個下一步的通知，但請務必確認您孩子在有聚會的週日早上是空出的。我們之後會提供確切的聚會日期。Whoever is in the LINE group will be constantly informed of every next step, but please make sure your young one’s Sunday mornings are free when there is a meeting. We will eventually give you the exact Sundays that we will meet.

NETCA 希望在這次旅程中達成什麼?

What does NETCA Hope to Accomplish On this Trip

無論是台灣教會、美國教會，或是 CFM 委員會的領袖，都不會對任何兒童、青少年、成人、奉獻者或其他教會提出任何強制性要求，也不會要求他們做出自己不感到舒適的決定。整個活動過程中，沒有人會受到操控或被洗腦。整個旅程的設計宗旨，是為參與者創造一個安全的國際環境，提供深度的跨文化體驗，以及具挑戰性的語言交流，同時培養實用技能，並建立健康的情感與屬靈品格，例如：耐心、理解、憐憫、尊重、誠實、自我控制、感恩、勇氣、悔改、饒恕、祝福與謙卑。我們盼望台灣青年與美國孩童都能在這些方面一同成長。The Taiwan churches nor the American churches nor the CFM committee leaders place any mandatory expectations on child, youth, adult or any donor or any other churches to make decisions that they are not comfortable with. No one is manipulated or brainwashed during the entire activity. The entire trip is designed to locate a safe international environment, with an engaging cross-cultural experience and a challenging language exchange that also fosters practical skill-building and healthy emotional and spiritual lessons like patience, understanding, compassion, respect, honesty, self-control, gratitude, courage, repentance, forgiveness, blessing and humility. We hope that both, the Taiwanese youth and the young American children will grow in all of these things.

因為我們是一個基督徒組織，當有人像我們一樣認識、喜愛並接受耶穌時，我們當然會感到非常喜樂。然而，這並不是您孩子參加 2026 年 CFM 團隊的必要條件。Because our organization is a Christian organization we are always happy when someone else knows, likes and accepts Jesus as we do, however that is not mandatory for your young one to be on the 2026 CFM team.

費用是多少？我們又要如何支付?

How Much Does it Cost? & How do we Pay for It?

若是一個人要參加類似這種為期三週的旅程，走訪同樣多的地方並學習同樣多的內容，預期費用大約會落在每人 120,000 至 150,000 元之間。然而，因為我們是以教會與教會之間合作的方式進行，此旅程中會有許多慈惠與支持。多數時候，美國的教會會提供我們住宿與餐食，並常常在途中給予我們團隊奉獻。這些來自教會的幫助，讓每個人的費用大幅降低至大約每人 100,000 元。以下是這 100,000 元每位學生所涵蓋的內容：The approximate cost for one person to join a three week trip similar to this and to go to as many places and to learn the things they will learn one could expect to pay about $120000 to $150000 per person. However, because we are doing this trip as a church and among churches there is lots of charity. Most of times churches in the States provide places for us to sleep, and meals for us to eat. They also often give our teams donations along the way. This help from the churches knocks the cost down per person to about $100000 each. Here’s is what the that $100000 pays per person .

1. 機票費 = 55%（暑假來回機票費用）

   Plane tickets = 55% (summer costs of round trip tickets)

2. 廂型車租賃 = 20%（包含三台車的租金、油費、保險與過路費）

   Van rentals = 20% (includes three vans, gas, insurance and tolls.)

3. 餐飲費 = 15%（以每餐新台幣 240 元、共 21 天計算）

   Food = 15% (based on TWD 240 per meal for 21 days)

4. 景點門票 = 5%（各類公園與特殊活動的門票費）

   Entry Tickets = 5% (entry fees to parks and special events)

5. 奉獻 = 3%（旅途中所給予的奉獻）

   Donations = 3% (donations)

6. 雜支 = 2%（意外或臨時開銷）

   Incidentals = 2% (unexpected expenses)

然而，因為我們是一間教會，我們希望能盡可能服務社區，因此我們會以團隊方式進行大量的募款，同時也會請每位團員進行一些個人募款。方法如下：However, because we are a church we want to be able to serve the community the best we can, so we do a lot of fundraising as a group and we ask the team members to do some personal fundraising. Here’s how:

1. 我們會請每位團員親自為自己的機票費用募款，機票通常約為 55,000 元。我們也會在聚會中教導他們如何募款。第一個募款方式是請他們在農曆新年時存下所收到的紅包錢。我們也會請父母／監護人告訴家族成員，孩子正在為機票存紅包錢。除此之外，我們也會教導其他募款方式來協助他們籌措機票費用。不論每位團員募到多少，他們都仍然必須出席所有聚會。We ask each team member to personally fundraise for their plane tickets which usually costs around $55000. We also teach them how to fundraise at our meetings. The first fundraiser we ask them to do is to save their Red Envelope money received at Lunar New Year holiday. We also ask the parents / guardians to let the whole family know their child is saving Red Envelope money for their. We also teach other ways to fundraise for their plane ticket. No matter how much a team member raises they still must attend the meetings.

2. 台灣的教會會負責為廂型車租賃進行募款。大多數年份教會都能順利達成這項任務，但也有幾年需要家長們一起幫忙籌募這部分的費用。The church in Taiwan raises the funds for the van rentals. Most of the time the church is able to complete that task, but there have been several years where the parents helped to do fundraising for that cost as well.

3. 至於餐飲費、門票費、奉獻和雜支，團隊會在六月與七月的每個主日進行募款活動，而到了美國後，我們也會在旅途中持續販售基督徒 T-shirt。我們通常能賣出約 1,000 件，而所得的利潤足以支付本段開頭所列的那些費用。For the Food, entry tickets, donations and Incidentals the team will be fundraising every Sunday in June and July and even when we get to America we will continue to sell Christian T-shirts along our journey. We usually sell about 1000 shirts and the profit is enough to pay for the things listed at the beginning of this paragraph.

最後，我們也曾經遇過募款非常困難的年份，也有募款非常順利的時候。有一年，一位特別的奉獻者突然給了我們一個驚喜——他支付了所有人的機票費。也有一次，廂型車的全部費用在一週內就募足了。然而，我們也經歷過相當艱難的時刻。最重要的是，我們要學習相信：無論是個人募款、團隊募款，或教會募款，上帝都會照顧每一位參與的孩子與家庭。Finally, we have had some years when the fundraising was very difficult and others when it was very easy. One year a special donor surprised us and paid for everyone’s plane ticket. Another time all the funds for the vans was raised in one week. However there have been some hard times as well. The main thing is that we learn to trust that God will take care of everyone whether they are doing personal fundraising or group fundraising or church fundraising.
