宣教之心 The Heartbeat
(English version at the bottom)
有一個好消息，實在忍不住想第一時間與你分享：今年十一月，我將啟程前往馬來西亞，展開為期十八個月的宣教服侍旅程！
坦白說，我並不愛吃榴槤，也不擅長適應那裏全年悶熱的天氣，更對於身處信仰受限的環境有所顧慮——但有一件事遠超過所有不安和不適：馬來西亞目前有超過二十萬名難民，來自緬甸（包括羅興亞人）、巴基斯坦、也門、阿富汗、敘利亞等地。他們是神深愛的萬民，正等待着能認識那位為他們捨命的救主。
今年七月，我首次踏足馬來西亞，帶領短宣隊探訪E中心的服侍，並與當地宣教士深入交流。他們默默耕耘於每位難民孩子的生命田地，用基督的愛陪伴並縫補那些因戰亂、衝突、童婚、家暴而複雜受創的心靈。雖然身處異鄉，難民常被排斥和邊緣化，甚至時刻面臨被捕和遣返。然而，在E中心我看到的孩子們，內心卻擁有屬天的尊貴和盼望。他們學懂自愛、愛人，也明白無論出身如何，有一位神早把天國預備給他們。
有次帶活動時，親眼見到穆斯林和基督徒的孩子們可以一起禱告、敬拜、分享見證、渴慕主的話語。深刻記得有宣教士說：「外面世界宗教、民族常有衝突，但在這裡，因着基督更大的愛，我們學會彼此深愛。」雖然馬來西亞有嚴格的宗教法，禁止穆斯林改教，但E中心的禾場早已結滿初熟的果子。可惜工人太少，每位同工都背負沈重的擔子，許多寶貴的生命正等待屬靈牧人的悉心栽培。
望見這浩大的流離人群、親身經歷基督的愛和生命被改變，我內心滿是激動，巴不得快快加入天國的工程，投身生命的栽植，結出存到永恆的果子。「天國又好比商人，尋找好珍珠，遇見一顆貴重的就變賣一切去買」，太13:45-46，正好寫照我現在的心情。
這一切看似突如其來，但其實早已在神的預備裡。正如今年培靈會講員陳傳華牧師所言：「醞釀已久的隨即。」神早已在我生命中動工，預備我坦然踏上這段新旅程。
回想當年大學初畢業，曾赴菲律賓宣教兩年，那段日子徹底打碎我的自義與偽裝，回應了神對公義的呼召，更立志要一生服侍邊緣群體。一直夢想三十多歲能再回到宣教前線，和神所愛的貧窮人同行，見證祂的奇妙。最好的獻祭，是把最好的時光、精力、恩賜都交託祂，讓祂使用。
在香港這座富裕城市，神給我教育、神學、十多年社關服侍的經驗，不只是為了本地所需，更是為了將恩典流到更貧乏之地，服侍被遺忘的小子，實踐分配正義(redistributive justice)。如果我只說公義，卻不敢踏出生命的行動，是一種虧欠。
在菲律賓兩年短宣以後，能夠有幸在基督教扶貧組織去服侍，了解到不同地方：如津巴布韋、埃塞俄比亞、盧旺達、泰國、緬甸等地的景況，能夠支持當地教會夥伴去扶貧困。近幾年，在教會的服侍能夠發展羈留人士和長者事工，以及開創不同的活動與平台去讓人認識神的公義和使命。這些都是很寶貴的經歷。
然而，當我聽到E中心創辦人所言「回到最初的愛 (Back to First Love)」, 我就深切理解到——我最愛的，在動員和支援以外，還是走入社區與貧友一起同行，同甘共苦，近距離觀察生命的轉化，察驗父的作為。(欲了解E中心更多，請參閱「工場簡介」）
感恩現在身邊有支持宣教使命的家人、朋友、同工。每一份支持都是我前行的力量。不是每個人都要親自上前線，但我希望你因我們的連結而蒙福，能一同見證這偉大的故事——裡面有軟弱、有苦難、有歡笑、有平凡，有我們和宣教士、難民弟兄姊妹的真實生命故事。
希望藉着定期的分享信，為你帶來異地的見證與溫度——
- 底層人群的心聲
- 當地事奉者的故事
- 跨文化服侍的微小體會
謝謝你選擇同行，也鼓勵你按感動支持這趟旅程。只需在本網頁留下電郵，即可收到定期分享！由12月起，每雙月的2號有定期的見證分享和祈禱會，歡迎你的參與與守望 （Zoom link將稍後發放給已訂閱的朋友）。未來一年半的旅程，我相信你會與這些人產生共鳴，這份經歷也或許成為你跟別人分享的見證～！

I have some exciting news to share: this November, I’ll be heading to Malaysia for an 18-month mission assignment!
To be honest, I’m not very fond of durian, I’m not a fan of hot weather all year round, and living in a place where faith is restricted. But there’s something that is far more important than all these things—there are over 200,000 refugees in Malaysia, coming from places such as Myanmar (including the Rohingya), Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and more. These precious people, deeply loved by God, are still waiting to know the Redeemer who willingly gave His life for them.
This past July, I had the privilege of leading a short-term mission team to Malaysia. It was my first time there, and I got to visit the E Center and see the work up close. During our stay, I had lots of conversations with the missionaries there, and was deeply moved by the love they showed—serving quietly and patiently, not worried about immediate results, but investing in every refugee child, patiently helping heal hearts wounded by war, conflict, child marriage, domestic violence, and more. Refugees are sadly often marginalized, excluded, or at risk of detention, but at E Center, I saw the children wearing “beautiful crowns”—they know how to love themselves and others, and they know there’s a God who, no matter their background or circumstances, has already given them the Kingdom of Heaven as a priceless gift.
One special moment was seeing Muslim and Christian children praying, worshipping, and sharing testimonies together, hungry to know more about God. I’ll never forget when one missionary said with gratitude: “There’s so much conflict out there—people divided by religion and race. But in this space, we get to love one another deeply, because a greater love binds us together.”
Malaysia has strict religious laws, and Muslims there aren’t allowed to change their religion—it’s even illegal. But in the fields where the E Center serves, I’ve seen seeds of the Kingdom already growing and thriving. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few; everyone there is carrying a heavy workload, while so many precious lives are waiting for someone to care for them. Having seen the great needs of these displaced people, and having experienced Christ’s transforming love myself, I can’t keep this excitement in my heart—I can’t wait to become a part of this Kingdom work, planting seeds that last for eternity. Matthew 13:45-46 describes my feelings well: “The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”
As Pastor Chan Chuen Wah said at this year’s Bible Conference in Hong Kong, there can be “long-brewing, sudden” events of God, with years of formation awaiting the divine timing. God has been gently lowering my defenses and getting me ready to respond to this call.
Looking back, after I graduated from university, my two years doing mission work in the Philippines was a time I wouldn’t trade for anything—it broke down my self-righteousness and pretense, and challenged me to respond to God’s call to justice and to serve those on the margins, even for a lifetime if He leads. In my twenties, I always dreamed that I might return to front-line mission work in my thirties, serving alongside the poor whom God loves, witnessing His power, and "Back to my first love” in the frontline. Now, as I approach 35, I’ve been asking how best I can offer my life to the Lord. True offering isn’t just about money—it’s about the “sacrifice of justice.” The best offering is giving my life, my best years, my heart, and my gifts to the Lord for His use, however He chooses.
Growing up in the abundance of Hong Kong, I’ve been blessed with a good education, theological training, and over a decade of experience in international development and missions mobilization—not just for the needs of the city, but so that I could overflow to where needs are even greater. If I only talk about redistributive justice but don’t live it out bravely, I know I’m falling short. In these times of increasing turmoil and conflict, I need to ask: will I just follow the flow of irrelevant news posts on my phone feed, or will I take part in God’s work of healing and bringing the scattered people back to Him?
After two years of short-term mission in the Philippines, I was blessed with the opportunity to serve in a Christian poverty alleviation organization. Through this, I came to understand the situations in different places such as Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Thailand, and Myanmar, and was able to support local church partners in alleviating poverty. In recent years, serving at The Vine Church has allowed me to develop ministries for detainees and the elderly, as well as to initiate various activities and platforms to help people experience God’s justice and mission. All of these have been very precious experiences.
However, when I heard the founder of E Center say, “Back to First Love,” I realized that beyond mobilizing and supporting, what I love most is entering the community and walking together with friends in poverty—sharing in their joys and sorrows, witnessing life transformation up close, and discerning the work of the Father.
I’m so grateful that I’m surrounded by people who support and affirm my calling to missions—my parents, friends, and colleagues. Each of your support gives me strength. Not everyone is called to serve on the frontlines, but through our connection, I hope you’ll share in God’s blessing for all peoples and experience this bigger story together. There will be challenges, suffering, joy, and quiet moments—not just from me, but also from the stories of other missionaries, spiritual partners, and refugee brothers and sisters. I hope these stories will nourish us all.
Through regular newsletters, I can probably be a carrier to bring a little light to your day—a note from afar that can’t be found through ordinary travel:
- The thoughts and feelings of the marginalized and scattered
- Stories from local servants and forgotten witnesses
- My cross-cultural experiences and reflections
Thank you for choosing to walk alongside me, and I also encourage you to support this journey as you feel led. If you would like to give, simply subscribe with your email on this webpage, and you will receive regular updates!
Starting in December, on the 2nd of every two months (my birthday is on the 2nd!), There would be regular sharing and prayer meetings for the trip. You are most welcome to join and stand with me in prayer. Over the next year and a half of this journey, I believe you will form more connections with these people, and this experience may even become a testimony you can share with others!

This mission journey is entirely voluntary (without stipend). All expenses, approximately HKD195,000, including accommodation, meals, daily necessities, electronics, transportation, border crossing, medical needs, shared meals with companions, and supporting resource needs for seed ministries, will be self-funded.
