MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN 董事會主席的分享

Dear partners, Although in many ways 2021 has been a challenging year with the continued disruptions caused by COVID-19, the Lord has been very gracious to Alpha Hong Kong as we had another strong year on the progress made. Launch of the New Marriage Course

With hybrid and online models continuing to work well, we were able to launch the new Marriage Course (in English and Cantonese), as well as make great progress in our Alpha Cantonese Teen Series (ACTS). I have to say the new Marriage Course made by Nicky and Sila Lee, is a true godsend. We have done it twice ourselves and feel it is so essential to any marriage, no matter which stage you are in. What a better way to love your friends than to invite them or do the course with them! It will strengthen any marriage and help to mitigate further marital problems. Alpha Cantonese Teen Series (ACTS)

The ACTS project is nearing completion and we are excited for its launch in 2022. So much work has gone into the project and we would like to thank the Alpha staff and the production company who have worked tirelessly to make a top-notch product. Precious Alpha Family

Thank you as always for standing by us and supporting Alpha Hong Kong's work. During our December thanksgiving dinner, it really dawned on us the strength of the bonding for all those involved in Alpha. When you go through Alpha together, there is this special bond that binds us together. And no matter how long we have been apart, whenever we come together, it is like a "family reunion". Thank you for being part of the Alpha family. With the Lord's help, we hope to multiply your generosity down the generational lines to return 30, 60 and 100 folds.

With many blessings,

Pat-Nie &Esther Woo 2

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 總幹事的分享 Dear friends, The past 12 months has been really exciting with more people using Alpha, giving their communities the opportunity to explore the meaning of life, both online and in person. We are also immensely encouraged by the stories we hear of people encountering Jesus through the tool of Alpha. We cannot thank you enough for your prayers and support which make all this possible. Spread of Cantonese Alpha Around the Globe

Amidst the emigration wave, we saw a surge of people using Alpha's Cantonese resources to spread the gospel wherever they go. Over 25% of all Cantonese Alpha ran in 2021 was done outside of Hong Kong. We remain committed to equipping people with the best possible Cantonese gospel resources so they can bring the good news anywhere they go. Reaching the Next Generation

We are excited that our brand-new Alpha Cantonese Teen Series (ACTS) will be launched in the first quarter of this year. We believe ACTS will be a powerful tool for churches and schools to reach the youth, occupying a unique position in Hong Kong where there is no other comparable gospel media tool customised for local students. Unity of the Church

In the past year, we have seen Alpha continuing to grow in all denominations. In particular, we are honoured to have the opportunity to work closely with the Catholic church in the creation of the Catholic-friendly track for ACTS. It is our privilege to have Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-Shing personally leading the effort. We deeply cherish this collaboration with the Catholic Church and believe it displays a picture of unity in the body of Christ. Thank you once again for your partnership.

With best wishes,

Patricia Lau

親愛的朋友們:

在過去的 12 個月,看見更多人使用實體或線上

啟發,為他們的社區帶來探索生命意義的機會, 令人十分振奮。亦聽見更多人透過啟發遇見主 耶穌的見證,對我們是極大的鼓勵。這一切都 有賴您們的禱告與支持,我們為此獻上衷心的 感謝。

啟發粵語版在全球擴展

隨着移民潮,有更多人在世界各地運用啟發粵

語版資源傳揚福音。在 2021 年,有超過 25% 的啟發粵語版課程都是在香港以外舉辦的。我 們會繼續委身以最佳的粵語福音資源,裝備弟 兄姊妹在所到之處廣傳福音。 得着年青世代

我們很興奮啟發少青系列粵語版 (ACTS) 將會

在今年第一季推出,我們切實相信 ACTS 將會 成為教會和學校接觸青少年的有力工具。因著

沒有同類型為本地青少年而設的福音媒體工具,

ACTS 將會在香港扮演獨特的角色。 教會合一

過去一年,啟發繼續在所有的宗派中發展。我 們很榮幸有機會與天主教香港教區緊密合作,

聯合推出 ACTS 天主教用語版。很高興地邀請

到香港教區夏志誠輔理主教親自帶領整個合作, 我們非常珍重這次與天主教香港教區的合作,

並相信這是展示在基督裡合一連結的美好圖畫。 再次感謝您的夥伴同行。 主內

VISION AND MISSION OF ALPHA 啟發異象與使命

The past year has shown us that nothing, not even a pandemic, could stop the good news from being brought to our friends and colleagues through the tool of Alpha. 過去一年讓我們清楚見到,沒有任何事 物環境能夠攔阻福音廣傳,甚至疫情也 不能阻止我們的朋友和同事透過啟發聽 到福音。

Ines Li 李海韻 Alpha leader 啟發領袖

I always imagined religious courses to be serious and uninteresting. But Alpha was not what I expected at all. It was intriguing and interactive, and I could get to know God through Alpha Online from the comforts of my own home. I am so excited that this is the beginning of my journey as a Christian. 我一直認為信仰課程應該是嚴肅及沉悶, 但啟發很不一樣,啟發生動有趣,最重要 可以互相討論,我以視像方式在家裏舒適 輕鬆地認識神,我慶幸能夠參加,作為我 成為基督徒的起點。

Our vision is to see the evangelisation of the nations, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society.

都應該有機會探索與耶穌 的 個 人 關 係, 並 且 不 需 付 費。

我們的異象是要看見福音 廣 傳、 教 會 復 興 及 社 會 轉 化。

WHAT IS ALPHA? 啟發是什麼?

2021

HIGHLIGHTS 2021 年重點概覽 感恩您帶來的影響

2021 was an impactful year for Alpha Hong Kong as we see people overcoming the limitations of COVID-19 to bring the gospel to their communities. We are also encouraged that many more people run Alpha than we know about and God is doing more than we can measure. 2021 是 香港啟發極具影響力 的 一 年 。 我們見證着信徒跨 過 疫 情 下 的種種限制,將福 音 帶 到 他 們的社區之中,使 我 們 深 受 鼓舞,我們相信舉 辦 啟 發 的 弟兄姊妹是超越我 們 所 知 曉 的,天父的作為真 是 超 越 我 們所能測度的。

I am a second-generation Christian so going to church was something natural to me. Yet I seldom think about why I should believe in Jesus. Participating in Alpha gave me the opportunity to examine my faith from different perspectives. In this day and age, it is easy to feel lost and be overwhelmed by anxiety and confusion. Alpha provided a platform for me to ask openended questions and rekindle my faith, which is all the more precious during this time of pandemic and societal unrest. 我 是 信 二 代, 上 教 會 是 理 所 當 然, 很 少 思 考 為 什 麼 要 信 耶 穌。 參 加 啟 發 令 我 重 新 開 放 不 同 角 度 去 看 信 仰。 在 今 天 的 社 會 越 來 越 不 如 自 己 所 想, 也 迷

失 方 向, 啟 發 給 我 一 個 思 考 平 台, 也 是 一 個 啟 蒙 過 程, 這 裏 可 以 問 問 題, 答 案 也 沒 有 框 框, 在 疫 情 及 社 會 動 盪 下更顯得很有意義。

ALPHA IN CHURCH 教會啟發

Serving the church in a time of change 在轉變的時期 服務教會

Alpha for Grassroot Families 基層家庭的啟發

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hong Kong's most impoverished people suffered disproportionately and found themselves stuck further in poverty. Many churches responded to the situation by extending help to the underprivileged people. Through the provision of social services, such as food and mask distribution, churches had the opportunity to connect with grassroot and new immigrant families. But these churches not only wanted to see these families fed, they wanted them to know the eternal hope found in Jesus too. Churches found Alpha to be an effective evangelistic tool

間教會在 2021 年舉辦啟發

Churches ran Alpha in 2021

for grassroot families. Alpha's videos are engaging and fun. Grassroot families found the content easy to understand. The interactive nature of Alpha also allowed these families to build friendships. We are excited to see many grassroot families coming to know Jesus through the tool of Alpha. Stepping into 2022, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to developing customized resources so that more grassroot families can be reached for Jesus. 自 2019 疫情爆發起,香港的貧窮家庭陷入了比一般市民更嚴峻與

前所未見的苦困。很多教會都回應弱勢社群的需要,向他們伸出援 手,透過派發食物及口罩等社區服務,教會有機會接觸到更多基層 和新移民家庭。但這些教會不單單希望為他們提供物資,更希望他 們認識耶穌所賜那永恆的盼望。

教會實證啟發能有效地向基層家庭傳講福音。啟發的影片有趣且吸

引,基層家庭都可以輕易掌握內容,他們更透過啟發的互動而建立 友好的關係。 8


我們非常雀躍能夠見證很多基層家庭透過啟發歸主。踏入二零二二年,我們 會繼續委身為他們度身製作更多福音資源,為基督得着更多的基層家庭。

Creative Hospitality 創意接待

Hospitality is at the heart of Alpha. We believe creating a welcoming environment sets the stage for people to build friendships as they journey together in Alpha. Although serving a meal at churches was no longer possible due to COVID-19 restrictions, we saw our partners using creative ways to overcome these barriers to connect with their guests. Some churches provided meal subsidies for Alpha leaders to eat with their guests at restaurants prior to Alpha. Churches also used thoughtful gifts, warm decoration and persistent prayers to convey the spirit of hospitality and connect with the guests. 接待新來賓是啟發的核心之一。我們確信營造一個輕鬆、友善、開放的環境能 讓新來賓在啟發的旅程中互相建立友誼。

在疫情中,雖然我們未能在聚會場地為新來賓提供餐膳,但我們樂見夥伴憑創 意跨過這些障礙,繼續與新來賓結連。一些教會資助啟發組長與新來賓在聚會

前外出用膳,也有教會藉着預備貼心小禮物、溫馨的佈置及懇切的禱告,發揮 接待精神與新來賓交通。

Inaugural Collaboration with the Catholic Church 首次與天主教會合作

We are honoured to have the opportunity to wor k closely with the Catholic church in the creation of the Catholic-friendly track for ACTS. It is our privilege to have Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-Shing personally leading the effort, vetting the script and giving us advice on the production. This collaboration enables Catholic churches and schools to use Alpha more effectively. We deeply cherish this collaboration with the Catholic Church and believe it displays a picture of unity in the body of Christ. 我 們 深 感 榮 幸, 有 機 會 與 天 主 教 會 緊 密 合 作, 聯 合 製 作 出 天 主 教 用 語 版 本 的

「啟發少青系列粵語版」,更榮獲天主教香港教區夏志誠輔理主教擔任顧問, 親自監督天主教用語版本的文稿與製作。

這天主教用語版本有助天主教辦學團體及聖堂更有效地開辦啟發。我們極為珍 惜這次與天主教會的合作機會,也深信這呈現了基督身體合一的美好見證。

WHAT LEADERS SAY ABOUT ALPHA 教會領袖的說話

Alpha is one of the most effective evangelistic tools to enable churches to live out the great commission. It can be used as a holistic and comprehensive strategy in a church's discipleship and evangelistic endeavours. T h ro u g h A l p h a , p a r t i c i p a n t s c a n d i s c u s s f a i t h related topics in an open and relaxed atmosphere, leading them into a personal relationship with Jesus. Alpha not only enables believers with different levels of spiritual maturity to participate in spreading the good news together, it also helps to build up the team and establish the believers as disciples. 啟發是適用於教會門徒造就與福音運動的整全策略和工 具,算是與教會有序完成大使命的最好選擇之一。

透過啟發,組員能自由、輕鬆地探討信仰的不同課題, 幫助他們回歸耶穌基督的懷抱。

啟發不單容讓不同靈程的弟兄姊妹一同參與傳福音的事

奉,也能在事奉過程中建立團隊、隨著靈程和經驗的提 昇,造就各人成為主的門徒。

The gospel is unchanging, but ways to spread the good news must keep changing to adapt to a modern audience! I commend Alpha for sharing the gospel with the youth in ways that are both innovative and engaging, yet also simple and effective. Come and explore! 福音不變,傳福音的方式卻要變 ! 十分欣賞啟發努力不懈 的在今日世代,以適合年輕人的方式傳揚福音,手法新穎 輕鬆,內容簡明有力。來,看看吧 !

It was exciting to see different companies in the same industry joining hands to run Alpha together.

Alpha in Religious Studies Class 宗教科課堂上的啟發

With around half of the secondary schools in Hong Kong having Christian or Catholic heritage, this presents an incredible opportunity for the youth in the city to come to know Jesus through the education system. However, reaching the students with the gospel in a way that touches their hearts remains a huge challenge.

Collaboration with NGOs 與非牟利團體合作

In 2021, God opened doors for us to collaborate with a number of NGOs in our Parenting Courses. These collaborations not only expanded our network of partners, the synergy between Alpha and the other programmes also allowed us to offer more holistic care to help families to navigate a changing world. 在二零二一年,神藉着我們的「親子教育課程」打開了與一眾 非牟利團體合作之門。這些合作不但擴闊了我們的伙伴網絡, 當中的協作也讓我們能幫助許多家庭在急速變化的社會中得到 更全面的關顧。

We thank God for equipping us with this tool so that we can help other couples to build better marriages. 我們參加美滿婚姻課程,有如經歷一個更新婚姻關係的旅程,不單改善了容易忽略的 溝通表達,甚至解決了潛藏很久影響我們關係的問題。感恩神裝備我們繼續使用這課 程,幫助其他夫婦建立更美滿的婚姻關係。

ALPHA STORIES 啟發見證

Story of the Paralysed Man One day, Rebecca learned that Alan had suddenly fainted on the street. It turned out he had meningitis and was in a coma for a few months. Rebecca went to visit him after he woke up. At that time, he was totally hopeless. His brain had activity but he could not move his limbs. He was only 48 years old. When the doctors told him he would not be able to walk again, he felt so despondent that he did not want to live anymore. Rebecca continued to visit him every week but had to stop when the pandemic hit. She knew he needed the hope of the gospel but how could she spread the good news when she could not even visit him. The turning point came when her church started running Alpha Online. Rebecca invited Alan to join. Since he could move his fingers, Alan managed to press his phone buttons to join Alpha Online from his nursing home. After the first few sessions, Alan came to experience the Holy Spirit and decided to commit his life to Jesus. During the session "Does God still heal today," he managed to stand up for the first time after his coma. Then he started to be able to walk a few steps. God not only healed his heart but his

上帝突破了醫院的四面牆去得着 Alan。 教 會 可 能 因 疫 情 不 能 開 放, 但 無 阻 需 要 福 音 的 人 得 著 救 恩。 線 上 啟 發 不 單 是 疫 情 下 的 臨 時 措 施, 更 能 讓 我 們 開 拓 更 多 傳福音的機會,去接觸更多的人。

body as well. God broke through the four walls of the hospital to reach Alan. Many of the church doors may have been closed, but the gospel does not stop reaching those who need it. Alpha Online is not only a necessary evil to weather the stor m during COVID. It is actually an amazing evangelistic opportunity for us to reach people we could not otherwise reach.

God gave Alan hope through Alpha Online when he had none. God is so good.

上帝在 Alan 沒有盼望之時透過線 上啟發給他盼望。上帝是何等的好!

Suet Wan wrestled with loneliness and poverty after she and her daughter moved to Hong Kong from Mainland China two years ago. Due to COVID-19, they rarely went out and had few friends in the city. However, everything changed when she was invited to join Alpha. She experienced the love of Jesus manifested through the church during Alpha. She worshipped idols for more than 30 years but she finally came to the realisation that the idols could not help her at all. Only Jesus can. Now she spends her time serving at the church to help others. 雪雲兩年前從中國大陸移居香港後,一直與女兒生活在孤單與貧苦

之中。因着疫情,她們甚少外出,在香港也相識無幾。自從她們被 邀請參加啟發後,一切都改變了。透過教會她在啟發中經歷到耶穌 的愛。她終於明白到拜了三十多年的偶像完全無能力幫助她,只有 耶穌能夠。如今,她熱心在教會事奉,幫助更多的人。

Alpha brought me a sense of warmth. Everyone accepted me for who I am. I am very grateful to get to know Jesus. 啟發讓我感受到很溫暖,而且大家都很接納我, 我很高興可以認識耶穌。

St. Paul's Co-educational College Primary School has been running the Parenting Courses for 5 years and the courses have blessed over 500 parents. These parents delight in finding companions on the same journey. We saw parents and children growing together, leading to better partnership with the school. Many parents discovered their own limitations and learned to depend on God, bringing blessings to the entire family! 我校舉行啟發的兩個親子教育課程已有五 年,接近五百位家長在過程中被啟迪,而且

他們因找到同行者而喜悅。家長與子女一同 成長,家校合作也更能體現。不少家長在課

Our desire and prayer is that God will continue to use Alpha to introduce people to Himself – a personal and loving God. Please join us in praying that more people will come to know Jesus. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith wherever they are at, for free. You can help make that happen by considering a gift to Alpha, so that more people are reached and transformed by the good news of Jesus. Alphas are run all around the wor ld, thanks to the help of countless volunteers. We w o u l d l o v e y o u t o c o n s i d e r volunteering at an Alpha near you.

我們誠心祈求主繼續使用啟發 帶領更多人到祂面前 –– 認識耶 穌作為個人救主,並且是滿有 慈 愛 的 主。 我 們 同 心 祈 求, 願 萬民得救。 我 們 相 信, 任 何 人 都 應 該 有 機 會在任何地方探索生命意義和 基 督 教 信 仰, 並 且 不 需 付 費。 為 共 同 實 現 這 目 標, 我 們 誠 邀 你 為 啟 發 事 工 奉 獻, 讓 更 多 人 的生命因得著福音而被轉化。 啟發事工能夠遍及全球,實有 賴無數義工的參與幫助。誠邀 您抽出時間,在就近的啟發聚 會作義工服事。
