恩迪迪恩伍尼利建議信神的，和不信的非洲人。對於信神的人，她建議不要用神來把他們生活中所發生的事情的責任給外包出去。對於不信神的人，她請他們保持開放的態度，和信仰型組織合作，特別是在處理像健康照護及教育這類議題時。她說：「我相信還有很多的潛力可以被實現，只要我們能躍過信仰的分歧，手牽手，嘗試解決許多我們的問題。」。

我的信仰被一名九歲孩子挑戰，
01:12
who asked a series of questions.
19
60910
1861
他問了一連串的問題。
01:15
He asked,
20
63895
1528
他問：
01:17
"Ms. Ndidi, does God hate Africans?"
21
65447
3429
「恩迪迪女士，神痛恨非洲人嗎？」
01:22
To which I quickly retorted,
"Of course not.
"Of course not.
22
70345
2223
對這個問題，我馬上回：「當然不。
01:24
God loves all his children equally."
23
72592
2182
神給祂所有的孩子平等的愛。」
01:27
Then he asked, "So why do so many
young African children die?"
young African children die?"
24
75634
3650
接著他問：「那為什麼
很多非洲小孩會死掉？」
很多非洲小孩會死掉？」
01:32
I stumbled and mumbled as I responded.
25
80685
2389
我含糊咕噥地回應。
01:35
"There are many reasons
why young African children die.
why young African children die.
26
83530
3273
「非洲小孩死掉的原因很多。
01:39
Most of them are man-made,
and we cannot blame God."
and we cannot blame God."
27
87491
3013
大部分的原因是人為的，
我們不能怪神。」
我們不能怪神。」
01:43
So he asked, "Why does he let it happen?
28
91533
2601
他問：「神為什麼讓這些事發生？
01:46
He could stop it."
29
94158
1156
祂可以阻止的。」
01:47
And I said ...
30
95859
1150
我說…
01:49
"Yes he could, yes he could,
31
97973
2048
「是的，他可以，是的，他可以，
01:52
but he sent us here as change agents,
32
100045
2898
他派我們到這裡當改變推動者、
01:54
light of the world, salt of the earth,
33
102967
2621
世界之光、地球之鹽，

Muhammad is noted for stating
48
164983
3946
穆罕默德有段很有名的陳述，
03:00
that he is not a believer
who goes to bed on a full stomach
who goes to bed on a full stomach
49
168953
4285
說他並不是一個當鄰居

03:05
when his neighbor to his side is hungry.
50
173262
2191
上床睡覺的信徒。
03:08
And all through the New Testament,
51
176456
1903
在新約中，從頭到尾，
03:10
Jesus Christ talks about loving
your neighbors as yourselves,
your neighbors as yourselves,
52
178383
2928
耶穌都在談要愛你的鄰居
如同愛你自己，
如同愛你自己，
03:14
giving to the poor, caring for the sick,
53
182654
2913
救濟窮人，照顧病人，
03:18
and James, too, says
that "faith without works is dead."
that "faith without works is dead."
54
186604
3605
而雅各書也說
「 信心若沒有行為就是死的 。」
「 信心若沒有行為就是死的 。」
03:23
So I strongly believe that faith-based
organizations have a critical role to play
organizations have a critical role to play
55
191236
5333
所以我堅定相信，在驅動
非洲的社會影響力方面，
非洲的社會影響力方面，
信仰型組織要扮演很關鍵的角色。
03:28
in driving social impact in Africa.
56
196593
2024
03:31
But for this to occur,
we need three critical changes.
we need three critical changes.
57
199321
4230
但我們先要完成三項重要
改變，這才可能會發生。
改變，這才可能會發生。
03:36
The first is that we need
to change our mindsets.
to change our mindsets.
58
204355
2577
第一，我們要改變我們的心態。
03:39
Both as people of faith
and of those who are not religious,
and of those who are not religious,
59
207983
3532
身為有信仰的人，
以及對於不信教的人，
以及對於不信教的人，
03:43
their perceptions of those of us
who are people of faith.
who are people of faith.
60
211539
2726
則是他們對於我們
有信仰的人的看法。
有信仰的人的看法。
03:47
Now, for people of faith
and those of us who are religious,
and those of us who are religious,
61
215471
4186
對於有信仰的人以及信教的人，
03:51
we often say, "If God wills, I'll do this;
62
219681
2807
我們通常說：
「若這是神的旨意，我會去做；
「若這是神的旨意，我會去做；
03:54
inshallah, I'll do that --
63
222512
2286
若那是阿拉的旨意，我會去做——
03:56
by God's grace, I'll do this."
64
224822
2158
出於神的恩典，我會去做。」
03:59
Now there are many things,
I believe, that we can control --
I believe, that we can control --
65
227988
4096
我相信，有許多事情
是我們可以控制的——
是我們可以控制的——
04:04
some we cannot.
66
232108
1252
有些無法控制。
04:06
I believe that God is all-powerful,
67
234431
2004
我相信神是全能的，
04:08
but he's not a micromanager.
68
236459
1564
但祂不會連小事都要插手。
04:11
(Laughter)
69
239066
1992
（笑聲）
04:13
He has sent us here as his change agents,
70
241082
3223
他把我們派到這裡來，
做改變的推動者，
做改變的推動者，
04:16
and we must stop making excuses
71
244329
1881
我們必須要停止找藉口，
04:18
and using him.
72
246234
1152
停止利用祂。
04:20
That means that if you're a teacher,
73
248478
2350
那表示，如果你是老師，
04:22
go to school and give
your students the best.
your students the best.
74
250852
2324
就去學校，把你最好的都給予學生。
04:25
If you're a public-sector official,
75
253889
1675
如果你是公部門的官員，
04:27
release the funds meant for that school
or public health-care center
or public health-care center
76
255588
3532
釋出要給予學校
或公立健康照護中心的資金，
或公立健康照護中心的資金，
04:31
instead of stealing it
for your personal purposes.
for your personal purposes.
77
259144
3059
而不是為了自己個人的目的偷走它。
04:35
By claiming that we have no power
over our past, present and future,
over our past, present and future,
78
263629
4773
我們聲稱自己無權控制
我們的過去、現在、未來，
我們的過去、現在、未來，
04:40
we give too much authority to the wicked
79
268426
3469
因而給了惡人太多的權限，
04:43
who steal funds
and beg God for forgiveness.
and beg God for forgiveness.
80
271919
3650
他們竊取資金，然後請求神的寬恕。
04:49
Now for those of you
who are not religious,
who are not religious,
81
277376
2065
如果你沒有宗教信仰，
04:51
you also have to change
your mindsets about us.
your mindsets about us.
82
279465
2209
你也得改變你看待我們的心態。
04:54
There are many of us who are hardworking,
83
282449
2657
我們有很多人是努力辛勤、
04:57
ethical and intellectual.
84
285130
2540
合乎道德的知識分子。
04:59
It might surprise you.
85
287694
1251
你可能會感到吃驚。
05:00
(Laughter)
86
288969
2210
（笑聲）
05:03
Now the second step
87
291203
1479
再來，第二步，
05:04
is that we have to utilize
our resources and assets
our resources and assets
88
292706
3517
我們得要把我們的資源和資產
用在社會影響力上。
05:08
for social impact.

1150
05:10

05:17
due to shrinking congregations,
92

2627
原因是集會縮減，
05:19
while in Africa, every single day,
93
307942
2246
而在非洲，每一天，
05:22
a church or mosque is being built.
94
310212
1678
就有一間教堂或清真寺被建立起來。
05:24

感傷的現實是
在週間它們常常是空的。

07:54
Now, the third step
137
462824
1746
接著，第三步，
07:56
is that we have to partner
with all stakeholders,
with all stakeholders,
138
464594
2691
我們要和所有利害關係人合作，
07:59
and this is especially relevant
for the non-religious in the audience.

08:04
Recognizing the power and potential
of faith-based organizations,
of faith-based organizations,
140
472024
4714
承認信仰型組織的力量和潛力，
08:09
leveraging their assets, their scale,

利用它們的資產、它們的規模、
08:12
the public trust
and credibility they have,

142
480871
2224
它們擁有的公眾信任和信用、
08:15
their lower operating costs,

483119
1335
它們較低的營運成本、
08:16
their access to the grassroots
144
484478
1486
它們接觸草根的途徑、
08:17
and their presence abroad.
145
485988
1288
以及它們國外的據點。
08:19
Politicians recognize this,
146
487802
1935
政客了解這一點，
08:21
and campaign seasons are always filled
with stops and picture opportunities

競選季節總是不斷去

148
494079
1526
08:28
Sadly, once elected,
149
496214
1461
可惜，一旦當選，
08:29
many of these faith-based
organizations are ignored.
organizations are ignored.
150
497699
3488
許多這些信仰型組織就被忽略了。
08:33
And in fact, a World Bank survey revealed

501211
2405
事實上，世界銀行的調查顯示，
08:35
that 30 to 70 percent of assets
owned by medical organizations in Africa

但在信仰社區和公眾健康照護體制間
08:48
and public health-care systems.
155
516206
1801
鮮少合作。
08:50
One positive example is from Ghana,
156
518835
3044
有一個正面的例子，來自迦納，
08:53
where the Ghana Catholic Health Service

09:05
I believe there's so much potential
that can be realized
that can be realized
159
533470
3183
我相信還有很多的潛力可以被實現，
09:08
when we walk across the divide of faith
160
536677
2928
只要我們能躍過信仰的分歧，
09:11
and, hand in hand, try to solve
many of our problems.
many of our problems.
161
539629
2807
手牽手，嘗試解決許多我們的問題。
09:15
Similarly, faith-based organizations
can support the transfer

同樣的，信仰型組織能夠支援協助

09:28
to your conferences,
166
556897

有多困難，

sometimes even offering stipends,
167
558087
1891
有時甚至還提供津貼津貼
09:32
reimbursements of transportation costs.
168
560002
2102
和交通補助。
09:34
Meanwhile, faith-based organizations
draw thousands and millions

169
562128

但信仰型組織能
吸引數千人，百萬人，
吸引數千人，百萬人，
09:38
every Sunday or Friday ...

566637
1832
每個星期日或星期五，
09:42
with the promise of a good sermon.
171
570077
3048
只因為保證有好的佈道。
09:46
The truth is we cannot address
issues around family planning

事實是，在非洲，我們若要
處理問題，不能只靠

09:53
Issues such as democratic rights

1849
都有一張選民投票登記卡，
10:00
understands their democratic rights
177
588856
2305
都了解他們的民主權利，
10:03
and can exercise that.
178
591185
1994
且能夠行使。
10:06
I really think it's critical
that we consider partnering

10:13
It's also important to note
that African faith-based organizations

另一個重點是要注意到
非洲的信仰型組織
非洲的信仰型組織

604916
1783
在全球有很強的勢力。

11:02
A wise man once said, "Faith is a risk,

11:09
I would suggest that partnerships

198
657999
4376
我會說，和信仰型組織
合作是一種風險，

11:21
I often reflect on my conversation
with that young boy,
with that young boy,
201
669942
3152
我常會深思我和那年輕男孩的談話，
11:25
and I believe I should have ended it
a little differently.

11:38
Secondly, I should have given him
a little more hope.

206
686698
2909
第二，我當時應該給他一點希望。
11:42
Not hope in the afterlife,
207
690083
1624
不是死後的希望，
11:43
but hope in Africa today,
208
691731
3064
而是在現今非洲的希望，
11:46
because the faithful are powerful.
209
694819
1981
因為有信仰的人是強大的。
11:49
Not just because of their beliefs
but because of their assets,
