Pastors Renewal Ministry 教牧更新事工
Pastors Renewal Ministry 教牧更新事工
Pastors are called to provide effective leadership to their congregations for church growth and proclamation of the gospel. Pastoring in Australia is an even more challenging experience today than a generation ago. The physical, psychological, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual demands on the pastors are always exceedingly high. Clergy burnout, high stress and loss of focus/direction are commonly experienced by pastors in the course of their ministry. A close relationship of support and encouragement with more experienced pastors can enable pastors and their spouses to serve the church and their communities more effectively on a continuing basis.
In pursuit of its broader harm prevention objectives, FLC establishes and maintains a “Pastor Renewal Ministry” since 2015 to support the pastors and their spouses in Australia.
教牧同工蒙召作神的僕人，肩負領導教會、傳揚福音和促進教會增長等重任。在澳洲，當代牧者比上一代更具挑戰，教會對牧者要求甚高，無論身心、情緒、人際關係和靈性各方面都務求精益求精。日積月累，神職人員未免疲憊不堪、壓力超標和迷失方向。假若有經驗豐富的牧者從旁鼓勵及同行，定能使在任牧者夫婦更有效地服侍。
為了更全面地秉承「預防勝於治療」的目標，晨光關懷協會於2015年創立「教牧更新事工」，以支援澳洲教牧及其配偶。

Rev Joseph Fung 馮約瑟牧師 (Founding Pastor 創始牧者)
Rev Joseph Fung migrated to Australia when he was 15 years old and became an active Christian during his mechanical engineering degree at Sydney University. He worked at University of New South Wales for 13 years. During these years he was active in student outreach, before being called to be a full-time pastor. Joseph’s ministry has centred on bringing the gospel to Chinese-Australians. He was the founding pastor of Chinese and Australian Baptist Church (West Ryde and Thornleigh). Joseph and his wife Nancy planted several Chinese churches and he has been one of the founding members of the United Chinese Evangelistic Committee (now SCCCA) from its very beginning, and now the Advisor. Joseph has also been involved in pioneering the first Chinese migrant social programs with the Council of the City of Ryde and the Chinese Theological College Australia.
With decades of experience in Christian ministry and church planting, Rev Joseph Fung and Dr Nancy Fung bring wisdom and insight that will help other pastors and church leaders find the support they need as they serve and lead their churches. Having spent decades working together to serve the church and its leaders, they are well-qualified to help pastors, church leaders and their spouses build not only strong churches, but strong leaders and strong families too.

Rev Dennis To 杜偉雄牧師
Dennis and his wife Pamela have two adult children. Dennis was converted in the early 1980’s, but this had taken a long time for him to truly commit his faith to Christ Jesus. Such an experience had limited his spiritual growth till he came to Sydney in 1998. Despite a costly life journey, it ended up blessing Dennis to confess genuinely with his determination to serving God.
Dennis was called to full-time ministry in 2001. He became a minister at church in 2005 after theological training. To him, nothing is more important than being guided by God. Also because of the pursuit of the call, Dennis had changed his ministry to be a bible college’s chaplain since 2014. While he keeps serving voluntarily at his mother church, he works hard for the kingdom from one stage to the other.
With such a life experience in following Jesus, Dennis is strongly interested in the ongoing study of God’s calling, the future church, the issues of ministries, the actions of truths, the challenges of spiritual journey, the development of spiritual mentorship, the basic method of reading bible etc. Dennis is passionate of meeting those who are interested in studying or developing the above biblical and ministerial segments.
杜牧師婚後與太太育有兩名孩子，現已成長工作。杜牧師在1980年代初期信耶穌，但反而沒有認真跟隨主。這樣的信仰態度使他的屬靈生命呆濟不前， 直至在1998年移居雪尼才開始改變。這儘管使他的生命歷程付上代價，但最終卻成為祝福，使他真心悔改回轉，並決心事奉追隨神。
杜牧師在2001年初蒙召全職待主。在完成神學訓練後，他在2005年開始投身教會全職牧養。對杜牧師的經歷來說，神的帶領最是重要。因着對神呼召的持續學習和尋求，他在2011年再感蒙神引領，並在2014年初决心改變在教會事奉崗位，參與神學教育院牧的工作事奉，與蒙召者同行。但他仍然留在母會義務服事，積極為神國事工努力。
這樣的屬靈旅程，使杜牧師對認識神的召命，擁有濃厚興趣，一直不斷研讀，直至現今。除此以外，他對不少的事奉類別 (例如: 教會未來，事奉難處，真理實踐，靈命挑戰，屬靈生命導引與發展，讀經基本等等)，也頗有負擔。
如果你對上述事奉或生命尋塑也感興趣，杜牧師樂意與你一同探討，並彼此分享。
