一、我的宣教心志

1994年，我與妻子蒙香港播道會差派前往澳門，展開十八年的宣教生涯，參與開荒植堂、校園福音及文化宣教等事工。在澳門期間，我深深體會到，宣教不單是傳講福音，更是走進人群、建立友誼，以基督的愛關懷生命。

我也特別重視文字宣教，曾創辦基督教報刊《時代月報》，並參與編著《基督教在澳門》、《澳門福音戒毒》等書籍。我相信文字可以跨越時空，成為傳揚福音、見證神恩典的重要工具。

二、我的神學裝備

1991年，我和太太畢業於香港播道神學院。多年的牧會及宣教經歷，使我深感宣教需要聖經真理的根基，也需要了解文化與社會的變遷。因此，我繼續進修，於2016年取得香港伯特利神學院教牧學博士學位，深入研究福音傳播與文化宣教。

多年來，我跟隨城市宣教大師Ray Bakke博士，學習如何在多元文化的城市中，以創意、文字、媒體及人際關係建立福音橋樑，讓教會走進社區，將福音帶到人群。

三、我的教學理念

2021年，我來到紐約，投入角聲宣教士學院的培訓事工。我深信，神學教育不應只停留在知識的傳授，更應成為生命塑造與宣教實踐的過程。我的教學夢想，是將單純傳授知識的課室，延伸成為培育宣教士、操練福音事奉、進入城市禾場的平台。

我盼望帶領學員走出課堂，深入社區、參與城市佈道及跨文化宣教，在實踐中學習，在服事中成長。我期望培育的不只是懂得宣教理論的學生，更是一群心懷福音使命、願意委身基督、勇敢走進世界的宣教工人。願我們不單成為福音的領受者，更成為福音的傳遞者，讓更多生命因基督而改變！

1. My Passion for Missions

In 1994, my wife and I were commissioned by the Evangelical Free Church of Hong Kong to serve as missionaries in Macau, where we spent eighteen years in ministry. During those years, we were involved in church planting, campus evangelism, and cultural outreach. Our experience in Macau taught me that missions is more than simply proclaiming the Gospel. It is about reaching out to people, building meaningful relationships, and caring for others with the love of Christ.

I have also been deeply committed to literature and publishing as a means of evangelism. I founded The Times Monthly, a Christian periodical, and contributed to books such as Christianity in Macau and Christian Drug Rehabilitation in Macau. I believe that the written word can transcend the boundaries of time and geography, becoming a powerful instrument for sharing the Gospel and bearing witness to God’s grace.

2. My Theological Training

In 1991, my wife and I graduated from the Evangel Seminary in Hong Kong. Years of pastoral and missionary experience convinced me that effective missions must be firmly grounded in biblical truth while remaining sensitive to cultural and social changes. This conviction led me to pursue further theological studies, and in 2016, I earned a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree from Bethel Bible Seminary in Hong Kong, focusing on Gospel communication and cultural missions.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of learning from Dr. Ray Bakke, a pioneer and leading voice in urban missions. Under his guidance, I explored how creativity, literature, media, and personal relationships can serve as bridges for the Gospel in multicultural cities. His insights have strengthened my conviction that churches must move beyond their walls, engage with their communities, and bring the Good News to people where they live and work.

3. My Philosophy of Teaching

In 2021, I moved to New York to serve in missionary training at the Herald Urban Mission Institute. I firmly believe that theological education should go beyond the transmission of knowledge. It should be a transformative journey of spiritual formation, personal growth, and hands-on missionary practice.

My vision for teaching is to transform the traditional classroom into a dynamic training ground where future missionaries are equipped, evangelistic ministries are practiced, and urban communities become living mission fields.

I hope to lead students beyond the classroom walls and into the heart of their communities, engaging them in urban evangelism and cross-cultural missions. Through hands-on experience, they will learn by doing and grow through serving.

My goal is not merely to train students who understand missionary theories, but to raise up a generation of missionaries who are passionate about the Gospel, wholeheartedly committed to Christ, and courageous enough to step out into the world to fulfill His Great Commission.

May we be not only recipients of the Gospel, but also faithful messengers of the Good News, so that more lives may be transformed through Jesus Christ!
