The power of customised resources for grassroots families

為基層家庭而設的啟發資源

Since the start of the pandemic, Hong Kong's most impoverished families have suffered disproportionately. Churches have helped by providing essential social services. However, in many cases, they have lacked the right tools to evangelise to grassroots families.

Alpha has emerged as a simple yet powerful evangelistic tool that resonates with grassroots families. Many churches have mentioned that Alpha's culture of hospitality, inclusivity and authenticity is very attractive to grassroots families. Collaborating with these churches, we developed a set of resources tailored specifically for grassroots families. With these customised resources, we aim to address grassroots families' concerns and struggles so that we can engage with them more deeply.

自疫情爆發以來，香港的基層家庭遭受了沉重的打擊，許多教會紛紛向他們伸出援手，關心他們的生活，提供社區支 援。 然而，因基層群體有其獨特生活形態及社交特性，教會在向他們傳福音時往往會遇到不少困難。

啟發作為一個簡單而有效的福音工具，能吸引基層群體，引發他們的共鳴。不少教會反映，啟發推崇的款待文化、接納 與真誠的價值觀，對基層群體深具吸引力。有見及此，我們 與數間伙伴教會合作，開發了一套針對基層文化特性而設計 的資源。我們的目標是要幫助教會了解基層家庭的需要和掙 扎，從而與他們建立更深層的關係。

As an uneducated and untrained woman, can I really spread the Gospel? However, as I witness how the Alpha videos can tell the full Gospel in such an engaging and succinct way, I decided to give it a try. I ran one Alpha after another. To my surprise, after six months, hundreds of new immigrant women had heard the good news through Alpha. I now actively share the vision of Alpha with grassroots families across churches.

我從來沒有受過教育和培訓，怎能傳 福音呢 ? 但當我發覺到啟發影片以簡 單扼要的方式，就能將完整的福音傳 遞給人，我決定一試。我接著開辦了 一個又一個啟發。令我驚訝的是，在 六個月的時間裡，竟然有數百名新移 民婦女通過啟發聽到福音的好信息 ! 現在，我正積極地向多間教會及基層 家庭分享啟發的異象。

Building bridges with grassroots families

與基層家庭建立聯繫

Pastor Erica Chan of Mong Kok Shuen Tao Church is a prominent figure in grassroots outreach. Over the years, her church has utilised Alpha and Alpha family life series to connect with hundreds of grassroots individuals, including women, elderly, and youth. Alpha's proven effectiveness in reaching the grassroots communities led Pastor Erica to become an ambassador of Alpha. In 2023, Pastor Erica collaborated with Evangel Seminary to launch a year-long spiritual movement titled "Bringing the Gospel to the Community." In this initiative, she taught practical evangelistic strategies to over 20 churches and actively encouraged the churches to use Alpha to engage with their local communities.

旺角宣道堂陳淑娟牧師是使用基層啟發祝福社區的代 表人物，其教會在過去數年間使用啟發及啟發家庭系 列接觸了數以百計的基層人士，包括婦女、長者及青 年人，為社區帶來美好的福音果效。在 2023 年，陳牧師與播道神學院合作，推出一個為期一年《行在社 區的福音》屬靈運動。 在這場運動中，她向 20 多家 教會傳授了實用的福音策略，並積極鼓勵這些教會使 用啟發去得著社區。

如欲了解更多有關陳牧師的啟發故事：

The Alpha videos are closely aligned with the local culture so that even folks at the grassroots level can easily understand. They can share and laugh without any pressure. Hong Kong needs more churches to serve grassroots families with united hearts. I recommend Alpha to any church that I visit.

啟發的影片貼近本地文化，就算是基層的朋友 都聽得明，他們有講有笑沒有壓力。香港需要 更多教會同心服事基層家庭，因此我去到任何 一間教會都會推介啟發。

In the past, I used to be very timid and didn't have many friends. I relied solely on myself to solve problems. Surprisingly, through Alpha, I found myself really enjoying the small group discussions where I could hear the views of others. I felt supported by my small group and felt I no longer needed to hide myself.

我以往很膽小，也認識不到朋友，有事都只靠 自己解決。但在啟發中我很享受小組的時間， 可以聽到別人內心的想法，而且在小組內得到 別人的支持，讓我不用再隱藏自己。
