Thanksgiving Thank God I’ve completed another 2-year

term on FLC’s Management Committee. I really counted this as a blessing that I could serve on this Committee to support FLC while I’m in retirement. Since I retired from full-time ministry, many times when I began to run out of work, I quickly prayed to God that he would give me some new ministries so I might still bear fruit in his works. One of these prayers was answered two years ago when I was approached to rejoin this Committee. I hope I can still serve on this Committee for another term before my arthritis catches me up.

Working closely together with our Centre Director and Centre Accountant who sit in the regular Committee meetings, this Committee consists of five members:

1. a young experienced corporate strategist, 2. a retired project manager, 3. a human resources management

professional, 4. a young pastor, and 5. myself, a retired pastor. I must thank our LORD for the provision

of these different experts and, in turn, for their support for FLC, particularly the hard work during the open day in October for our new West Ryde Centre. There were so much works and efforts in the preparation, running and closing of this event.

Just to let you in a small secret, I don’t usually chair the Committee meetings. I mostly delegated the chairing of the meetings to our young pastor while I would give a devotional sharing at the beginning of each meeting to encourage the team.

For this purpose, our corporate strategist Committee member researched our counselling statistical data, especially of the past ten years, and then reported on the analysis of these data. The finding was that there has definitely been a paradigm shift in the counselling needs among our Chinese migrant communities during our past 19 years.

May He give us more dedicated FLC supporters; so we may have:

• more FLC members,• more dedicated Christian counsellors and

educators,• staff members with Mandarin background,

and• more Management Committee members;so that FLC can make a bigger impact on our

Chinese communities.

感 恩

感謝神!我在晨光關懷協會管理委員會完成

了兩年任期。我確實的數算恩典:自己在退休之

年,仍能在委員會事奉,支持晨光的事工。你知

道嗎?當我踏進退休期之後,很多次我手上已

沒有什麼工作,於是我就快快祈求神給我新的事

工,叫我仍然得享充實工作的成果;我其中的一

個請求,就在兩年前蒙神答允:我受邀加入這委

員會。我期望在我未被風濕痛迫近之前,仍能在

委員會事奉多一個任期。

管理委員會除了中心總監和中心會計師列席

外,現有五個委員:

1.  富有經驗的年輕企業策劃師

2.  已退休的項目經理

3.  人力資源管理專業人士

4.  年輕的牧者和

5.  我這個退休的牧師。

我必要感謝神供應各有專長的上述成員及他們

對晨光的支持;尤其是他們在去年十月西懷德新中

心開放日,節目籌備、進行和總結的辛勤付出。

告訴你們一個小秘密,我通常在委員會會議

時,將主席責任交給這年輕的牧者,而我只是在開

會之前為與會者作靈修分享。

事 工

過往一年,委員會決定將晨光輔導及預防教育

服務,推廣到更多在悉尼的華人教會。因此,我開

始向支持晨光事工的教會,提出在他們的事務會議

或主日崇拜中,容許我們分享晨光的工作。

為此緣故,我們這位有企業策劃專才的委員,

將晨光輔導服務統計數據紀錄,特別是過去十年的

數據資料,作詳細分析並報告。研究結果顯示,華

人移民社群在過去十九年,需求模式明顯轉變。晨

光因此更需要華人教會的支持,務求改善我們為社

區提供的服務。我們希望有更多機會,造訪其他華

人教會,分享這些分析結果,並神在當中給我們的

信息。

前 瞻

明年晨光將慶祝服務社群廿周年。求神帶領我

們切實用心遠眺將來,叫我們懂得如何禱告及發展

一個新的里程碑。

求主賜我們更多投入的支持者,叫我們有:

•  更多晨光會員、

•  更多忠心的輔導員和教育工作者、

•  普通話背景的同工、

•  更多的管理委員會委員

以致晨光能在華人社區,發揮更大的影響力。

膽怯的人說:你們要剛強,不要懼怕!」(賽35:

3-4a)

晨光男士守望小組 FlC Men’s Support Group坦誠分享、彼此支持及禱告,學習個人生命成長及更新 

Sharing, Mutual Support & Prayer, Personal growth & Renewal

作者有次序地從創造、墮落、救贖的角度談起,將聖經的教導與靈命、人際關係及情緒方面的成長結合,不僅指出有聖經根據的成長原則,也具體地提供成長祕訣,為個人、小組建立以神學觀為骨幹的成長系統。

The authors unlock age-old keys to growth from Scripture to help people resolve issues of relationships, maturity, emotional problems, and overall spiritual growth. They shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates and show that growth is not about self-actualization, but about God’s sanctification.
