智利煤矿工人获救 – 一些不为人知的“内幕”
2010年10月
每一天我们听到的好消息不多，对于这个极少的好消息实在值得全世界来关注：33位智利煤矿工人被“深深地活埋”在大约6公里的地下。
17天过去了，他们不知道谁会来救他们；69天过去了，他们已经知道他们的命运将会如何。但是空前的、出乎预料的拯救临在他们身上。
根据公众媒体的报道，营救行动的成功在于救助人员的努力和所使用的机械和技术，但很少媒体提到这个事实：这些矿工们的信心极大程度上来自神，也就是耶稣基督。
我们可能看到很多关于这件事情的报道，但是绝少提到他们在神里面极大的信心和每天两次的祷告。事故发生的时候有三位煤矿工人是基督徒，其中的一个开始带领学习圣经，至少二十位工人参加。
当电影《耶稣》智利项目的主任听到了这个消息以后，他想方设法给他们送去了MP3版的《耶稣》影片和新约圣经。
基督徒当中的一位发回短信说：“感谢你给我和我的同伴们这样大的祝福。这对于我们的灵命是非常大的启迪。我现在的感觉非常好，因为耶稣活在我的生命当中。我们现在每天中午12点和晚上6点都举行祷告会。”
然后他引用诗篇95章第4节作为结尾：“地的深处在他手中，山的高峰也属他。 ”
几天之后，这位主任收到一个请求，就是帮助他们定制一些特别的T恤衫。当他们被救出来的时候，大多数或是所有的人都将穿上这件特别的T恤衫：胸前印着“耶稣，感谢你！”，背后印着诗篇95章第4节的经文；袖子上则印着耶稣影片智利项目部的图形标识。
当这些被营救的工人最终出现在全世界的眼前时候，他们当中的一些人跪在地上，感谢神对他们的拯救。现场一位著名的西班牙记者在福克斯新闻频道的胡卡比节目专栏里报道说，被困工人当中最年轻的工人说，在被深埋的矿井下有34个人，而不是33个人。当记者问到为什么他这样说的时候，那位工人说：“因为自始至终，神都和我们在一起。”
智利煤矿工人获救的第一个周日，他们当中的大多数都和家人一起回到获救的现场，参加了宗教活动的仪式。
影片《耶稣》创下观看史上的记录。它根据圣经里《路加福音》而拍摄，描述了耶稣的生平。其中包括他为我们的罪被钉十架的可怕情景，也包括了他死后被放进类似坟墓的山洞里，三天以后他从死里复活的情景！

Untold insight into the Chilean miners rescue!
With all the bad news we hear every day, the world has been privileged to witness a rare good news event. Thirty three Chilean miners were virtually “buried” nearly 4/10ths of a mile (over 6/10ths of a kilometer) underground.
For 17 days they did not know that anyone could ever find them, and for sixty nine days they could know the outcome. Then the dramatic rescue.
There was much publicity of the determined efforts of man and technology, but what you may not have heard is the fact that to a great extent the miners trust was in God, in Jesus Christ.
We may hear more details about this, but little publicized reports tell of great faith in God, times of prayer twice a day. At the beginning 3 were evangelical believers. One led in Bible study and at least 20 were participating.
The director of the Jesus Film Project for Chile after some effort was able to get an MP3 version of the Jesus Film and the New Testament portion of the Bible in MP3 format.
One of the believers sent a note back, “Thank you for this tremendous blessing for me and my coworkers. It will be good for our spiritual edification. I am fine because Christ lives in me. We have prayer services at 12 noon and 6 pm.”
And then he finished by quoting Psalm 95:4 “In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him."
A few days later the request came to this Jesus film project director to get them special T-shirts. As they came out of the mine, most – maybe all -- of them put on this T-shirt. On the front is “Thank you, Lord.” On the back the quote from Psalm 95:4. And on the sleeve a logo for the Jesus Film Project.
Some knelt in front of a watching world thanking God for their delivery. One well-known Spanish broadcaster who was there, reported on the Huckabee show on Fox News channel, that the youngest of the 33 said there were 34 in the mine, not 33. When asked why, he said, “God was with us the whole time.”
The following Sunday, many of them were back at the rescue site with family members for a religious service.

The Jesus film is the most viewed film in history. It depicts the life of Jesus as recorded by the Gospel of Luke in the Bible, including the horrible crucifixion for our sins, and then how Jesus was laid in a tomb-like cave after his crucifixion. Three days later Jesus rose from the dead!
This stirring film on DVD, with both adult and children’s version in both Mandarin and English, is available from the MC Lit. Dept of AFC: 888-999-7959, afcinc.org/mclit, mclit@afcinc.org.
