C303 - 探索新移民男士的需要及牧養
近年大量香港人移居到加拿大,此情況相信將會持續多年。這些移民中的中年已婚男士,與太太或連同孩子到來,適應上都面對巨大的挑戰。特別是職業男性到加拿大後,往往未必能從事本來的專業工作,其中一個可能從較低職級入職,亦可能轉行至一些低技術工種,甚或成為家庭主要照顧者。因著這些改變,家人關係往往會大受影響和衝擊,而導致情緒低落,甚至患上抑鬱症的例子亦不少。此工作坊目的,就是與參加者一起探索新移民男士的特性及牧養方向。對象:有心服事新移民男士的弟兄、教會領袖、牧者或機構同工。
C302 - 從兒童事工到兒童門訓
過去二、三十年的教會運作模式,主要是以事工為主導,兒童事工也不例外。但最近Barna組織「兒童事工的新現實」的研究報告中指出:兒童事工模式已不切合新時代的需要。教會和父母都為下一代陸續離開教會而感到擔心和無助。Reggie Joiner,Think Orange 的創辦人提醒我們:「作為領袖,作為父母,我們的主要呼召不是讓我們的孩子留在教會,而是塑造他們成為教會……我們能給他們最好的禮物就是幫助他們尋找自己在上帝救贖和復和故事中扮演的角色,並積極參與在其中。」在這個工作坊中,學員有機會反思一貫兒童事工模式的利弊,並一同締造並思考如何實現以天國為導向的兒童門訓願景。鼓勵兒童事工的義工、家長和教牧領袖一同參加此工作坊。

T201 - #LiveHolystic // How bridging the division in our lives sets us uniquely apart
As the world around us seems to be getting increasingly divided, there is a temptation for us to jump on the next “activist” agenda and exhaust our energy on the latest fight for unity. While these battles may be important and our desire for change may be well-meaning, there is one divide that James argues needs more of our attention. And that is the division that lies deep within ourselves. Through the honest lens of his own personal transformation journey through pain and addiction and the eternal lens of God’s Word, James will call us to a life of wholeness and holiness (ie to "liveholystic”) and show us how the intentional journey of bridging the divides in our personal life is critical if we want to see God’s vision of flourishing in our homes, churches and the wider world.
