中美服務促進會 (China Service Ventures)
馬克瑞教士(Ms. Cora Martinson)才六個月大的時候,於1902年就被父母親馬安祖牧師、師母(Rev. & Mrs. Andrew Martinson),抱着到了中國。馬安祖是信義會的牧師,在河南一帶傳道。那時候在「拳匪之亂」剛過不久,社會很動蕩,排洋的心態遍及朝野,傳道很不容易;在貧窮落後的地區傳道,生活尤其困難。馬安祖牧師辛勞工作,於1913年在河南病逝,葬在的確山,時年45歲,留下妻子及三個孩子---克瑞(11歲) ,貝露(Pearl, 9 歲) ,哈魯(Herold,8歲)。
按當時差會的政策,對宣教士的遺孀沒有經濟支持,因此希望馬師母回國定居,但馬師母熱愛中國人,寧願留在中國,繼續丈夫的遺志。克瑞、貝露、哈魯三姐弟隨母親在中國長大。他們在中國念完中學回美國念大學,之後都當了宣教師。貝露去了加拿大,哈魯和克瑞先後於1930年及1936年回到中國河南傳道。1948年中國發生內戰,他們逃難到香港,繼續在香港傳道。克瑞在香港信義會真理堂與阮光榮教士同工多年,是阮教士的摯友,阮教士是本堂創辦人之一。哈魯於1956-1968年任香港信義神學院院長。他的兒子馬保羅牧師(Rev. Paul Martinson)在河南出生,曾在香港當宣教師,之後回美國在明州路德神學院任教。本堂李永成牧師是他的學生。
克瑞終身未婚,專心傳道,直到1973年退休,回美國明州定居,時年71歲。她一生的年月主要都是服侍中國人。不單如此,她的遺產也指定用來發展中國福音工作。生前死後,她都為了中國同胞! 克瑞於1998年逝世,成立了「馬克瑞紀念基金」,她的後人和朋友根據她的理念,組成「中美服務促進會」(China Service Ventures---CSV),於2001年五月在美國正式註冊為非牟利組織,馬保羅牧師是CSV董事會副主席。這組織的目的是要加強中美之間的聯繫,並希望可以透過禱告、專業人仕、及其他資源,可以幫助中國同胞。過去幾年,他們在河南信陽,為那些貧困的農村孩子提供助學及醫療、衛生、營養各方面的援助,他們也大力幫助黑龍江聖經學院擴充圖書館的圖書。
本堂李永成牧師是「中美服務促進會」的董事,曾多次隨「中美服務促進會」的同工到河南信陽去參與他們的事工。「中美服務促進會」先後有三位職員都是本堂會友:邱林牧師——專職推廣「全景聖經課程」,杜新柱弟兄——前駐北京主任,楊光弟兄——駐信陽同工。
