Dear partners,

2022 has been an eventful year for Hong Kong as well as for Alpha. We are glad to see that we are coming to an end on COVID restrictions, and life can soon return to normal.

Thanks to your great support, our brandnew video series, the Alpha Cantonese Teen Series ( ACTS ) , completed production in February 2022. We see significant fruits with its launch and more than 10,000 young people have already gone through the course. We expect ACTS to reach the youth far and wide, as we are seeing significant uptake in Cantonese-speaking communities around the world as well as with the Catholic Church, who has worked closely with us throughout the production of ACTS.

Another great regional development in 2022 was the completion of the Chinese Alpha Film Series ( CAFS ) . Produced in Mandarin, this will be critical in bringing the Gospel to the Mandarin-speaking Chinese community in Hong Kong for years to come.

We are very excited about the future. Nicky and Pippa Gumbel will now be serving Alpha full-time. We would like to invite you to join our global vision to make the Gospel available to everyone on the planet by 2033. Specifically, our vision is to reach 100 million people worldwide through Alpha in the next ten years. We are honoured to partner with you in this vision, which we believe will be achievable with the Lord's help and your support. Thank you for standing with us for this vision. We are forever grateful for your faithful support.

Message from the Chairman 董事會主席的分享

Message from the Executive Director

總幹事的分享

Dear friends,

I still remember feeling nervously excited as I stepped into Alpha following a long career in investment banking. Today, I am amazed and humbled to witness how God did immeasurably more than I could ask or imagine over the past two years. Thank you for journeying with Alpha and me personally during this time.

2022 was a record year for Alpha Hong Kong, with 22,776 people participating in Alpha, accounting for an impressive 89% growth from the previous year. In particular, there was a staggering 156% growth in youth hearing the Gospel through Alpha. The launch of our new video series –Alpha Cantonese Teen Series ( ACTS ) – was a key catalyst. Thanks to your support, ACTS has a widespread and ongoing Gospel influence on our city's youth, giving them hope for the future, a place where they can be heard, and a home-like community.

During this time, I have seen how countless churches have been mobilised to reach the lost through Alpha; I have seen how cultural barriers have been broken for youth to hear the Good News; I have seen how lives have been transformed and new communities being formed.

Over the past two years, it has been a journey of growth and learning for me. One of the most important things I have learnt is this:

Listening is one of the loudest forms of love; and Alpha creates space for people to demonstrate love through listening.

In this day and age, everyone wants to have a voice, but who is listening? Alpha encourages a culture of listening that is so necessary yet so lacking. I am thrilled to see churches and schools making space to listen to young people through Alpha. Listening has the ability to foster understanding and bring healing like nothing else, because:

Love listens. And listening shows love.

None of this can be realised without your amazing support. Once again, I am incredibly grateful for your partnership. Thank you for the difference you are making for such a time as this.

With many blessings, Patricia Lau

親愛的朋友們 :

猶記得當我離開工作多年的投資銀 行 , 轉到香港啟發擔任總幹事時 , 那份 既興奮又戰兢的感覺 , 至今仍歷歷在目。

今天 , 我懷著謙卑又感恩的心情 , 見證了神 在過去兩年中所做的一切 , 實在已遠遠超越 我的所求所想。感謝您在這段時間與啟發和 我並肩同行。

2022 年是香港啟發刷新紀錄的一年 , 共有

22,776 人參與了啟發 , 與前一年相比增加

了 89% , 十分令人鼓舞。當中 , 透過啟發而 接觸到福音的年輕人更是增加了 156% 。我 們新推出的影片系列 ――《 啟發少青系列》

( ACTS ) 是參與人數增加的關鍵。感謝 您的支持 , ACTS 對全城年輕人帶來了深遠 而持續的福音影響力 , 讓他們重燃對未來的 盼望 , 使他們感受到被聆聽 , 同時找到一個 像家一般的屬靈群體。

在這段時間 , 我看到了數不盡的教會 , 透過 啟發去動員弟兄姊妹 ,同心得著失喪的人群; 我看到那些攔阻年輕人認識福音的文化障礙 被一一打破;同時亦見證了很多人的生命被 轉化 , 更多新的屬靈群體被建立。

過去的兩年 , 對我來說是一段成長和學習的 旅程 , 其中一項最重要的功課 , 是學習到聆 聽的重要:

聆聽是最能彰顯愛的其中一個途徑。而啟發正 正為人們創造空間,讓他們通過聆聽來表達愛。

在這個時代 , 每個人都希望發聲 , 但又有誰

在聆聽呢?啟發鼓勵聆聽文化 , 這文化十分

重要 , 但卻又非常缺乏。我很高興看到教會 和學校透過啟發 , 嘗試聆聽年輕人的聲音。

聆聽有著奇妙而無可取代的能力 , 能讓人互

相理解 , 帶出醫治。這是因為:

因為愛,我們聆聽。而聆聽,讓愛被彰顯。

倘若沒有您的支持 ,深信這一切都無法實現。

我衷心感激有您成為我們的伙伴 , 感謝您在

這個關鍵時刻為福音工作帶來的每一個改變。

衷心祝福各位 劉恩琪

Window of Opportunity for Hong Kong Immigrants in the UK 移英港人的福音機遇

The recent wave of immigrants from Hong Kong to the UK has reached a historic high. Interestingly, an overwhelming 63% of non-Christians from Hong Kong demonstrated an interest in exploring faith, compared to 41% Mainland Chinese and 19% British-born Chinese, according to a recent survey conducted by London School of Theology. Alpha Hong Kong seized this opportunity and immediately hosted a series of vision sharing sessions, to encourage and equip UK churches to actively evangelise with Hong Kong immigrants. As a result, since 2020, almost a quarter of the courses registered in Alpha Hong Kong are run overseas. We are thankful that our Alpha ministry is now able to extend beyond Hong Kong, to connect and bless the global Chinese community.

港人移民英國數字創下歷史性的新高。根據倫敦神學院最新的調查 顯示 , 63% 的非信徒港人表示有興趣了解信仰 , 相比只有 41% 的 非信徒內地人及 19% 在英出生的非信徒華人表示對信仰有興趣 , 比例明顯較高。我們看見移英港人的需要 , 舉辦了一系列的異象分

享會 , 以鼓勵英國當地教會把握機會將福音的盼望帶給移英港人。

由 2020 年起 , 在香港登記的啟發課程有四分之一在全球不同地方 開辦 , 可見啟發事工連結全球華人教會同心興旺福音。

Pioneer Elderly Alpha to bring joy and energy to the community

長者啟發為社區帶來喜樂和活力

With population ageing becoming more prevalent, there is a pressing need for churches to focus on elderly ministry. In order to help churches effectively share the Gospel with the elderly, we developed a set of resources and organised vision sharing sessions to mobilise and equip churches in their elderly ministry. In particular, we use interactive games to create a more engaging Alpha experience for the elderly. We are glad to work alongside churches to spread the love and joy of Jesus in the elderly community.

I initially thought Alpha was just an ordinary gathering, but it went way beyond my imagination. Many newcomers stayed behind and joined our church fellowship after Alpha. Alpha enabled me to see a breakthrough in evangelism!

初時我以為啟發只是普通的教會聚會 , 直至開辦後 , 真的超乎我的 想像!好多新朋友因為啟發而繼續返教會 , 甚至加入團契!這效果 讓我見到啟發佈道的突破!

啟發 , 舉辦分享會並設計一系列輔助資源 , 包括活潑的互動

遊戲 , 幫助教會掌握向長者傳福音的秘訣 , 推動教會於社區 實踐主耶穌的「 愛 」和「 喜樂 」。

Strategic collaborations with church denominations 宗派策略性合作關係

We are very thankful that major denominations in Hong Kong have started strategic denominational collaborations with Alpha in 2022. This includes the Anglican Church, the Methodist Church, the Chinese Christian Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church, the Free Methodist Church, etc. We connected with different local churches across Hong Kong through vision sharing sessions and training. We strive to not only provide support to churches' Alpha ministry, but also to help local churches reimagine their evangelistic strategy.

我們十分感恩香港的主要宗派 , 包括聖公會、循道衛理聯 合教會、中華基督教會、浸聯會、信義會、循理會等 , 在 2022 年間與啟發開展宗派策略性合作的關係。我們透過推 動不同的事工分享會和培訓 , 連繫遍及港九新界的多間教 會 , 不單幫助宗派和堂會開展啟發事工 , 更加協助他們發展 合適的傳福音策略。

Ground-breaking partnership with the Catholic Church in evangelising to the youth

天主教與啟發同心推動青少年工作

In 2022, we continue to work closely with the Catholic Church to promote and provide training for the Alpha Cantonese Teen Series ( ACTS ) . As a result, over 460 participants have experienced Alpha in Catholic parishes and schools. We saw students encountering the love of Jesus and living out biblical truth in their daily lives. We are most grateful for the full support from Most Reverend Joseph Ha Chi-Shing, OFM, Auxiliary Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong. We believe our collaboration with the Catholic Church displays a beautiful picture of unity in Christ in spreading the Gospel to the next generation.

2022 年啟發繼續與香港天主教區同心同行 , 策動《啟發少 青系列》 ( ACTS ) 的推廣及培訓工作。我們十分感恩得到天 主教香港教區夏志誠輔理主教的全力支持 , 超過 460 個學 生於堂區和天主教屬校參與 ACTS , 體驗和經歷基督的愛 , 並於日常生活中實踐真理。我們相信與天主教區的合作是展 現基督裏合一的美好見證。

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 youth in ways that are both innovative and engaging, yet also simple and effective. Come and see!

福音不變 , 傳福音的方式卻要變!十分 欣賞 Alpha 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!

Alpha Cantonese Teen Series ( ACTS ) is a video series tailored for Cantonese-speaking teenagers exploring timeless questions about life and faith. The first of its kind, it consists of 13 talks with a relatable and engaging style. We believe ACTS is a powerful tool for churches and schools to reach Hong Kong's youth.

《啟發少青系列》( ACTS ) 是專為青少年度身訂造的啟發影 片系列 , 透過 13 集的對話空間 , 讓學生與耶穌建立關係 ,

Reconnecting churches with youth

為教會青少事工開拓新方向

The social unrest and pandemic lockdown have led to a huge exodus of youth from the Church. We are thankful that ACTS offers an engaging and culturally relevant tool for churches to urgently reconnect with the rising generation. Through ACTS, young people have a space to be heard, to have fun and to make friends. The major denominations in Hong Kong - Baptist, Methodist, Sheng Kung Hui, and HKCCCC - have all mobilised their churches to run ACTS.

因著社會運動及至疫情反覆 , 很多青少年身心靈

深受困擾 , 甚至離開教會。因此 , 很多教會開

辦 ACTS , 提供空間讓青少年被聆聽和接納 , 在 輕鬆環境下認識朋友 , 成功與年輕人重新建立關 係。不同宗派 , 例如 : 浸信會、循道衛理聯合教

ACTS 。

Reviving evangelism in schools

為校園提供靈活有效的福音策略

ACTS has provided a much needed tool to support teachers in both religious studies classes or as extra-curricular activities. The readilyavailable videos with accompanying curriculum guidelines make it very convenient for teachers to run ACTS. With 50% of the schools in Hong Kong having a Christian background ( Protestant or Catholic ) , we believe this is only the beginning of how God will use ACTS in the lives of students.

ACTS 為老師提供宗教課和課外活動適切的工具 , 簡 單易用的影片和課程指南 , 以便教師輕鬆開辦。由於 香港一半的學校屬於基督教或天主教背景 , 我們深信 並期待上帝繼續透過 ACTS 祝福學生的生命。

Relational 注重關係

Alpha is a safe and free platform. No one will judge you nor force any teachings upon you. Alpha allows young people to freely share their difficulties in life and encounter God.

啟發是一個既安全又自由的平台 , 不會有人批評 你的想法 , 不會說教 , 可以讓年青人盡情分享自 己生活上面對的困難 , 與主相遇。

I was once distant from God but through workplace Alpha, I was able to renew my faith and encounter Him. After re-committing my life to Christ through Alpha, I also shared my faith with my sister and mother. I am thrilled that both of them committed their lives to Jesus. I am extremely thankful that Alpha allows not only me, but also my family to come to know the Lord.

我曾經遠離神 , 但透過公司舉辦的啟 發 , 重新回顧以往經歷神的時刻。在啟 發決志後 , 我向姐姐和媽媽分享信仰 , 她們也先後決志信主!所以我很感恩 , 透過啟發這個契機 , 福音不但臨到我身 上 , 也臨到我的家人身上。

The fifth wave has impacted people in Hong Kong in unprecedented ways. We hope to bring a message of hope to the marketplace. It is our honour to invite four key leaders in our city ( Mr Antony Leung, Mr Michael Choi, Mr David Wong and Mr Barney Cheng ) to share their insights and learnings from the pandemic. The talks explored the intersections of their lives, work, leadership and faith, and how to find hope in the midst of challenges. Many guests were deeply encouraged by the talks. We are pleased to witness a number of workplace Alpha birthed out of the interview series, bringing the love of Jesus to the marketplace.

第五波疫情帶給香港人的影響前所未見,我們希望 將盼望的信息帶進職場。我們很榮幸能夠邀請到梁 錦松先生、蔡涯棉先生、王仕雄先生及鄭兆良先生 幾位城中的領袖,分享他們在疫情時不同領域上的 「人生功課」, 探討他們面對生活、工作、領導和 信仰的挑戰時,如何得著力量和盼望。很多受眾都 表示深受鼓舞,及後我們亦見證不少信徒在職場開 辦啟發,把耶穌的愛帶進他們的辦公室。

Workplace Alpha using a hub-and-spoke model 一台多點的職場啟發

Online platforms transcend geographical boundaries to connect believers in different industries such as finance, insurance and engineering. The Gospel was advanced in the workplace through synchronised online and offline small groups. We believe this model could

建立領袖推動職場宣教

Advancing workplace evangelism begins with leadership development. In 2022, we launched the "Alpha Mentorship Program" to nurture young workplace leaders, and the "Halftime Summit" to develop Alpha Coaches as well as core Alpha leaders. We have thus expanded our workplace network and developed more leaders in the SPARK workplace missions movement.

I used to think that it is very difficult to run Alpha in the workplace. I now discovered that it is actually fairly easy to run Alpha as the most important role for us is to simply invite colleagues. Everything else then falls into place. In the end, we even have colleagues committing to Christ through Alpha. When we say yes, God will work. 從前以為在公司舉辦啟發很複雜。後來發現舉 辦職場啟發原來很容易 , 最重要是邀請同事 , 一切迎刃而解 , 最後還有同事決志信主!只要 我們願意 , 主便會作工。

以家庭事工鬆土 埋下福音種子

At Alpha, we believe that meeting the tangible needs of people can help us reach those who are outside of the Church. As family plays a significant role in Chinese culture, it is unsurprising that the Marriage and Parenting Courses prove to be effective pre-evangelisation tools. Through the courses, participants can learn how to strengthen their marriage and family relationships from a Christian perspective in a relaxed way. They also have an opportunity to get to know brothers and sisters in the Church, leading to their hearts being prepared to eventually encounter Jesus.

The pandemic and social unrest have presented many challenges to Christian organisations in Hong Kong. In 2022, we are thankful that we can collaborate with different organisations ( including Hong Kong Awana, Boys' Brigade, Family Value Foundation, Superbook etc. ) in response to the opportunities relating to pastoring youth, children and parents. These collaborations allow us to experience the spirit of love and unity as one body of Christ, so that together we can bless the families in Hong Kong.

ALPHA STORIES 啟發見證

Celia formerly struggled with emotional issues, fearing that people disliked and rejected her. But through ACTS, she came to realise that God is real and loves her deeply. Her group leader shared the change in her, "Celia was a bit reserved when we first met her, but now she is very willing to share. She simply has a different glow. It is amazing how God transformed her through ACTS."

Since taking the course, Celia has become eager to share with others about God, including her little sister, who previously had violent tendencies but has begun to see amazing changes in her own life as well.

Celia 以前比較情緒化 , 害怕別人排斥她。但透過 ACTS , 她發現 天父是真實的 , 並且深愛著自己。組長分享了她的轉變:「 Celia 開始比較害羞 , 亦有點保留 , 但現在卻很願意與人分享。她整個人變 得截然不同 , 上帝奇妙地透過 ACTS 轉化了她。 」

Bernard has been a sport fanatic since he was a child, but when he had to stop exercising due to a serious injury, he felt very sad and helpless. He then had the opportunity to join Alpha, and found the discussions lively and down-to-earth. Through the journey, he felt increasingly sure of God's love for him, and deeply enjoyed the intimate moments with Him. During this time, God also miraculously healed his foot injury. A month later, he recovered fully and even managed to run his favourite marathon.

柏倫從小熱愛運動

"God is really powerful! He saves us, listens to our prayers, and helps us."
「 天父真是一個偉大的 存在!祂真的會拯救 我們,聽祈禱並幫助 我們。」
"I am grateful that God did not just heal my body, He also transformed my heart!"
「 感恩神不單醫治我 的身體,更轉化我的 心!」
, 但因重傷而需要停止 , 感覺非常難受和無奈。後 來他參加啟發 , 發現討論非常貼地和生活化 , 過程中確認神是愛他 的。柏倫享受與神親密的時刻 , 而神在這段時間亦奇妙地醫治他的腳 傷 , 讓他能康復並於一個月後順利参加他最愛的馬拉松。

Alpha Film Series (CAFS)!

啟發首套普通話影片系列 ――《華人啟發》影片系列

Produced by the Chinese for the Chinese, CAFS was filmed in 7 different locations around the world. For the first time in the history of Alpha, the film series contents are presented entirely in Mandarin. The series allows a Mandarin-speaking audience to explore life, meaning and the Christian faith through their heart language, as well as content that is culturally relevant to them.

CAFS is hosted by Rev. Andrew Chai and 2 young Chinese hosts, featuring Chinese experts and culturally relevant testimonies. The film series presents the Gospel as a truth that transcends cultural barriers and touches the lives of the guests. CAFS has proven to be an effective tool for evangelising to the Mandarin-speaking community around the globe.

Since its official launch in July 2022, we estimate that over 110,000 people all over the world have heard the Gospel through CAFS.

With almost 1 in 7 people in Hong Kong being Mandarin native speakers, we are excited that CAFS provides a powerful tool to reach the Mandarinspeaking community. CAFS is effective for both the professional community and new immigrant families. We will launch a Cantonese-dubbed version of CAFS in March 2023, encouraging the local church to flexibly use the Mandarin and Cantonese video series to seize the evangelistic opportunity this season.

I deeply resonated with the Mandarin CAFS. I never thought that simply playing videos and chatting with one another could lead to someone committing their lives to Jesus. I pray that CAFS will ignite more people to be the salt and light of the world.

普通話版的《華人啟發》影片系列讓我很有共 鳴 , 沒想過我只是播播影片、跟人聊聊 , 都會 有人決志信主!祈求主透過《華人啟發》影片系 列燃點更多人為主作鹽作光。

ALPHA STORIES 啟發見證

After migrating from the Mainland to Hong Kong one year ago, Pin Fang realised that her husband was not willing to take up family responsibilities, and he did not care about the two kids. The couple was constantly in conflict, and Pin Fang did not have friends to talk to. She felt lonely, depressed, and suffered from insomnia.

Pin Fang used to dismiss Christianity as irrelevant, since she perceived it as a Western religion, and the church sermons meant nothing to her. But because of the care packages provided to her by the church, Pin Fang was connected to a group of church friends and decided to join Alpha together. To her surprise, she discovered that the relevant and down-to-earth examples in Alpha helped her understand the birth and resurrection of Jesus, how authoritative the Bible is, and through this she found meaning and hope in life.

As a new immigrant, the huge cultural difference makes it challenging for Pin Fang to become part of a church, even if she is willing to accept Jesus. Initially Pin Fang was worried that she may be ridiculed or offend others. But the culture of hospitality and acceptance in Alpha gave her a unique space to speak freely and truly be herself. She started going to church, joined a Bible study, and even showed willingness to be baptised.

After joining Alpha, Pin Fang became much more positive and learned self-love. She learned how to communicate with her children, and also shared her parenting experience with other new immigrants. God even miraculously healed her long-term insomnia problem, healing not just her heart but also her body.

以往品芳認為基督教是西方宗教 , 即使聽講 道也不太明白 , 感到事不關己。但是因為要 領取生活物資的緣故 , 品芳在教會認識了一 群朋友 , 決定一起參加啟發 , 卻發現啟發生 活化的例子有助她明白到耶穌為何要降生和 復活 , 理解到聖經原來很有權威 , 而且體會 到自己的人生可以很有意義和盼望。

作為新移民 , 即使願意接受耶穌 , 仍可能因 著巨大文化差異而對教會卻步。品芳怕「 唔 識嘢 」或者「 講錯嘢 」,自己可能被嘲笑之餘 , 甚至會得罪別人。但品芳在啟發小組行山、 野餐、燒烤等輕鬆聯誼當中體驗到接納和款 待文化 ,發現可以暢所欲言 ,做真正的自己。

漸漸地 , 她不但願意返教會 , 加入查經班 , 甚至願意洗禮。

參加啟發後 , 品芳變得更開朗 , 學懂怎樣愛

自己 , 同時學習怎樣與孩子溝通 , 甚至跟相 似背景的新移民分享育兒心得。神更奇妙地 醫治了她多年的失眠問題 , 不但醫治了她的 心 , 更醫治了她的身體。
