Wayne Shepherd: 本节目讲述了1934年殉道的宣教士John和Betty Stam的故事，旨在鼓励基督徒坚持信仰，跟随基督。节目嘉宾Andrew Montanera是新书《生与死》的作者，他将分享Stam夫妇的故事，并探讨其对当代基督徒的意义。 Andrew Montanera: Stam夫妇的故事对当代基督徒仍然具有重要的启迪意义。他们的信仰和奉献精神值得我们学习和效仿。通过对Stam夫妇生平的深入研究和对家族档案的整理，我希望能将他们的故事更生动地呈现给新一代的基督徒，使他们能够从中汲取力量和灵感。 Andrew Montanera: 我家族保存了Stam夫妇的许多遗物，包括书籍、信件和照片等。这些珍贵的资料为我撰写这本书提供了重要的参考依据。Stam夫妇于1929年在慕迪圣经学院相遇，并于20世纪30年代初前往中国传教。Betty Stam在传教士家庭长大，熟悉中国文化和语言。Stam夫妇知道在中国内战期间存在的危险，但他们坚信上帝的呼召，要向中国人传福音。他们于1934年12月8日被共产党士兵杀害，他们的女儿Helen Priscilla幸免于难。 Betty Stam是一位诗人，她的诗歌反映了她的信仰和经历。她的诗歌《Open My Eyes》表达了她渴望服侍基督的心愿。John Stam的父亲希望他接管家族的布道事工，但最终尊重了他的选择。Stam夫妇的故事在当时成为全球新闻，对福音派产生了重大影响。他们的殉道精神激励了无数基督徒，也为中国教会的发展留下了宝贵的遗产。
