狂人牧師 窮人之父

陳公亮 牧師介紹

陳公亮牧師取名「公亮」,其母釋義為「公雞一叫天就亮!」似乎他一出生,就被賦予 「喚醒」世人的任務。而陳牧師自年少至今,瘋狂犧牲所有只為承啟天命。他「喚醒」人的聲音不是讓人聽進耳裡的,而是以無法阻擋的力道,「穿 透」人心,教人不醒也難。

陳公亮出生苦難的陳牧師對苦難中人有特別的悲憫與看守。母親30出頭即診斷出罹患絕症,全家正被愁雲慘 霧壟罩之時,父親又因駕車撞死人而入獄,生命垂危的弱女子加上一群嗷嗷待哺的孩子,終日只能和絕望相擁而泣。在鄰人一一閃躲這「被詛咒」的一家人時,一位 80歲的陌生老人忽然來訪,天天對他們送暖並傳達「上帝的愛」。母親在萬念俱灰之餘,決定拋開數十年吃齋念佛的執念,請求上帝醫治她。後來母親的病真的好 起來,並且一夕之間,不識字的母親竟能看懂整本聖經。這場驚心動魄的經歷,讓陳牧師從此信奉及追隨主耶穌,再也沒有任何力量,可以動搖他走 上這條信心之路。

30歲,陳牧師便一躍成為基督教的當紅名嘴,榮獲台灣創意牧師第一名;33歲取得博士學位,擔任 國際講員、至大學任教;40歲,創辦神學院、基金會,建立了台灣成長最快速的基督教派……,縱使榮耀與掌聲不斷從天而降、從四面八方湧現,陳牧師的 感受卻是猶如芒刺在背。

天生反骨的陳牧師,極度痛恨虛偽、仇視假裝,他唾棄名利權勢,只愛和「窮人」在一起。1994年 一場吐露真言的演說,因涉及敏感的兩岸議題及利益糾葛,竟讓他一夕之間從耀眼名角變成階下囚、基督教界棄絕他、妻子離他而去……,從雲端墜落谷底的悲哀, 堅毅男兒也不禁淚流成河……。

1998年,陳牧師在一無所有的情況下和妻子小玲成婚。1999年從宗教界落難到坐落於楊梅的比 佛利山莊,陳牧師和妻子空無一物,一切從零開始。只是不知為何,一些受困之人,竟慢慢口耳相傳,紛紛靠攏過來,<希伯崙>於 焉成形,成了「活不下去的人」的避風港。

陳公亮面對越來越多上門求助的更生人中輟生街友家暴婦女單 親媽媽、毒癮犯、精障者、受虐兒、孤兒……,陳牧師再熟悉不過,因為這三十幾年來,他只做兩件事:一是幫助窮人;另一是訓練願意幫 助窮人的人。是故他一一將他們接納進來一起生活,再將這些被社會棄置的人重新鍛練,讓他們體會「無用為大用」的生命意義與價值,讓他們在愛裡獲得重生。

陳牧師的所作所為,無疑是讓「正常人」與「主流社會」傻眼的,此種不按牌理出牌的作為讓他始終備 受爭議、飽受抨擊。如今他被基督教界列為叛徒;被政府官員視為狂人;被弱勢窮人當做父親,而我這一介平民,看他就像一位時代巨人,正傾畢生之力,為末路人 披荊斬棘,開創出一條生命坦途、歸鄉之路,即使這條路會遭逢巨石投擲、會面臨猛獸吞噬乃至「以命換命」,他也在所不惜……。
