Annual Report – 09/2024 – 08/2025 

I want to begin our report with a prayer of thanksgiving:  

Father, we praise you for being our great Shepard in our church family over the past year, and over the past 37 years. I am encouraged and humbled by Your faithfulness and providence as I serve in the English ministry team. I pray that You will continue to lead Your church, empowering us with Your love and grace as we seek to honour your name in everything we do. I also pray that You will open doors for us to share the gospel with the wider community, and give us the wisdom to be salt and light in this world. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. 

 “Worship where you serve and serve where you worship” has been the culture that we sought to nurture this past year. Our hope and prayer has been that our brothers and sisters will grow a deeper sense of family within our congregation as we draw each other closer to God. I praise God for His work among us – it has truly a blessing to see brothers and sisters across all age groups step out of their comfort zone to connect, serve, and bond on a deeper level.  

This year, MES has been journeying the Gospel of Matthew, reflecting on its message for the contemporary church. It has been a rich time of rediscovering the core purpose and vision of being His church. Our NSY, growth groups, Ladies’ and Men’s ministry have all strive to live out this vision, becoming places where people can encounter Jesus. The English Ministry Committee has continued to meet, pray, and reflect together – guided by the principle we learnt from “The Vine Project” – seeking God’s wisdom on how we might make adjustments and improvements to help us grow in Christ’s likeness.  

I am personally grateful to God for the opportunity to grow and serve as a pastor – taking on the English congregational pastoral role as well as leading our youth in NSY. God has been faithful in challenging me to depend on Him as I serve. I pray that God will give me wisdom in juggling the two roles I have at hand. I also would like to ask that we continue to pray for a new youth pastor so that we can better minister to our young people and provide the pastoral support our church family needs. 

One highlight of the year was the combine church camp held at Collaroy, where we enjoyed a weekend together with the larger church family. I praise God for the love and care thqat was evident throughout the camp and I am deeply moved by how God is drawing us closer together as one family in Christ.   

I also want to thank God for the opportunity to serve in the CAWF missional conference in Taiwan, alongside fellow pastors in the wider Alliance family. This trip broadened my perspective of ministry and deepened my heart for God’s mission. I pray that He will continue to use us and provide more missional opportunities both locally and globally. 

Finally, I praise God for everyone who has volunteered to serve over the past twelve months, across all areas of ministry. Our church family is unable to grow without people generously and faithfully giving their time and energy to serve. As we enter into a new year as a church family, I continue to pray that God will continue His transforming work in us, and that we will be humble, faithful, and united as one body in Christ.  

In Him, 

Pastor Eric Lai

Ps. Brock Li 李新宁传道

十年感恩 从新出发

感谢神的恩典，带领国语堂走过以往的十年。去年，正值国语堂感恩十周年，我们不但以二月底的第二届“福杯满溢新新春晚会”拉开了感恩庆祝活动的序幕，更以每周三的“佳美脚踪”福音外展，学期间每周五的英文班及周二的英语角，接触服务社区，传扬福音，五月份的感恩月暨多场香港基恩敬拜聚会，七月初的十周年感恩崇拜，九月初的Murray Farm嘉年华福音外展，九月底的感恩踏青之旅，七月到十月每月一次的健康系列讲座，以及十一月底推出的十周年感恩纪念特刊以及感恩视频等活动，数算神的恩典，见证神的作为，并激励弟兄姊妹为主而活，生命更新。踏入新的一年，国语堂于今年二月份举行了同工退修会，与同工们一同寻求神的异象和旨意，逐步明确国语堂未来发展的方向，是重点开展中青年家庭事工，接触并吸引社区中的相应群体，与他们建立联结，向他们传扬福音。与此同时，国语堂在今年四月初，面对Epping West小学崇拜场地租用的机会，也积极把握，更新影音设备，并克服各种困难，不但顺利在该新场地举行崇拜，并协助教会其他堂会在该场地所需的影音设备搬运和设置，成为教会彼此搭配，主内合一的美好见证。今年伊始，国语堂举办了第二期“塑造主生命”门徒培训，弟兄姊妹学习如何跟随基督，作主门徒。一年来，感谢神带领弟兄姊妹们以爱心彼此关顾，搭配服事，使得新场地的崇拜和各项事工得以顺利进行。 

展望未来，求主亲自施恩带领国语堂的各项事工，在新的阶段，从新出发。求主赐下智慧、能力和勇气，带领国语堂的弟兄姊妹寻求从神而来的异象，跟随神的旨意，生命成长、不负使命、深入社区，传扬基督，成为社区的金灯台，以及周边国语同胞的祝福。 

以下是国语事工过去一年的总结： 

主日崇拜 

一年来，国语堂通过信息宣讲、查经团契、集体灵修等方式，鼓励弟兄参与教会崇拜和团契、灵修。此外，还通过「清晨颂歌」，「清晨甘露」，「活水甘泉」等事工开展，鼓励弟兄姊妹渴慕神的话语，学习委身服事。此外，中秋、圣诞、春节等各项外展活动，也吸引了不少慕道朋友参加崇拜。感谢主的恩典，现在，平均参与国语崇拜的人数大约维持在55人左右。 

崇拜场地方面，今年我们获悉教会有机会租用Epping West小学，国语堂同工经过商议，决定搬至该处聚会，后被告知只可租用至七月初。最终国语堂依然充分利用这段时间，使用该学校场地举行崇拜，积累了各方面的经验，也求神继续施恩开路，为国语堂预备合宜的崇拜场地。 

在讲道方面，为配合教会的主题：「更新」和「在变迁中 扎根基督」，国语堂分别以《以弗所书》和《尼希米记》作为讲道和小组查经的内容，从而加深弟兄姊妹对这些书卷的认识和应用，帮助弟兄姊妹学习更加认识上帝的恩典和大能、彼此相爱，生命更新成长！ 

小组团契 

   感谢主的恩典，今年国语堂继续保持马太小组（夫妻），约翰小组（夫妻）、以斯贴小组（姊妹）、雅各小组（长者）、安德烈小组（职青）、彼得小组（弟兄）六个团契小组。并且小组团契聚会逐步开始进入网络与实体结合的模式。 

    今年小组查经的内容都是以讲道系列的《以弗所书》和《尼希米记》为中心。现在，小组出席人数平均为：6人(雅各小组)、8人(马太小组)、8人（约翰小组）、7人（以斯帖小组）、4人(安德烈小组)和5人（彼得小组）。 

    此外，为了帮助参与事奉的同工，明确发展异象，主内同心服事，于今年二月份举行了同工退修会。 

祷告会 

    国语堂的祷告会，在每个主日晚上7:30网上举行。感谢神的感动和带领，越来越多的弟兄姊妹愿意踊跃参加。每次祷告会，弟兄姊妹都会一同为神的恩典（感恩事项）献上感恩，为彼此的身体和心灵需要(神的子民)，为教会和教会所支持的宣教士(神的教会)，为世界和未得之民(神的国度)祷告。弟兄姊妹们在祷告中，彼此守望、彼此鼓励、彼此扶持；现在，参与祷告会的人数平均大约有19人左右。 

探访关顾 

    目前，国语堂已成立由专人负责的迎新关顾小组，负责跟进新人的关顾探访，以及国语堂现有的弟兄姊妹的探访，透过分享交流，了解关心新朋友及弟兄姊妹们生活和属灵上的需要，加深彼此认识，主内建立美好关系，分享经历神的爱，并鼓励他们面对疫情挑战，坚守信仰，活出生命见证。此外，去年国语堂还成立了专门的探访小组，对于面临身心软弱、家庭困境等方面的弟兄姊妹进行探访关顾。感谢主的带领和弟兄姊妹们的爱心，过去一年中，国语堂有不少弟兄姊妹身体软弱、或历经重大手术，在此期间的关心探访，爱心代祷，给予弟兄姊妹很大的温暖、安慰和鼓励，并在一些罹患重病的弟兄姊妹中，透过牧者、探访小组及弟兄姊妹们的探访、关顾、代祷，帮助该弟兄以信心仰望神恩，平安渡过人生的艰难时段。 

福音外展事工 

    一年来，国语堂于每月第一个主日后举行爱宴欢聚，弟兄姊妹及亲友品尝主内“爱的温暖，家的味道”。不但使弟兄姊妹在主内有美好团契，更给予新来的慕道朋友，参与其中，加深彼此认识，宣传基督福音。感谢神的恩典和同工，一年来分别有多名弟兄姊妹接受洗礼。 

    今年2月份国语堂的第三届「福杯满溢新春晚会」吸引了超过百人参加，并由多家宣道会弟兄姊妹组成的联合诗班宣韵诗班献诗。弟兄姊妹不但一同包饺子、贴春联，也在丰富多彩、载歌载舞、精彩纷呈、妙趣横生的节目中，在福音信息分享里，带给大家新春的喜庆，属灵的思考。之后的爱宴欢聚则把活动推向高潮，使前来参加的慕道朋友，感受到在主里浓浓的爱意，满满的祝福。此外，国语堂新开展的佳美脚踪、英文班（英语角）都旨在接触社区，服务社区，分享福音，国语堂还于去年07/09参加Murray Farm小学嘉年华活动，并摆设教会摊档，向社区传扬福音。为了配合国语事工的发展，于今年26/07举行了国语亲子讲座，受到积极良好的反响。国语堂将总结经验，寻求探索家庭事工外展的新途径。 

       此外，国语堂的弟兄姊妹还积极参加Dubbo短宣事工，以及Maitland乡村短宣事工，激励弟兄姊妹肩负福音使命，踏上短宣之路。 

儿童事工培训 

       感谢神的恩典和预备，感动弟兄姊妹投入位于Roselea Public School中的国语堂儿童看顾事工。并带领何茵传道带着异象和负担，义务帮助国语堂儿童事工的培训，并在去年内每两个月举行一次，对参与儿童事工的弟兄姊妹进行培训和装备，为着国语堂未来儿童事工的发展，打下坚实基础。 

十周年感恩活动 

    去年，国语堂举行了一系列的感恩活动，包括：五月份的感恩月暨香港基恩敬拜音乐事工聚会、07/07的十周年感恩崇拜、健康系列讲座、28/09国语堂蓝山植物园感恩踏青之旅，并于11月初推出国语堂十周年感恩纪念特刊及视频。也感恩弟兄姊妹在主里的同心合意，搭配服事。展望未来，求主继续施恩带领国语堂，带着异象和使命，在Epping和Carlingford社区传扬福音，荣耀主名。 

Candy Lau  劉玉娥姊妹

感謝神的帶領和保守，2025年對多加姊妹團來說是很特别的一年，團契週會內容有新的改變。 

今年的主題是「活力信望愛」。 

本年度團契週會內容：查經、戶外郊遊、專題講座、手工篇和分組設計活動。 

查經方面，今年選用了明道出版社的士師記，也邀請了劉海林牧師為我們講解導論，讓我們更了解歷史和背景,認識神的愛和看顧。 

六月份有一個專題講座，由劉海林牧師主講：「如何在網上搜尋正確和可靠的聖經網站」；也提醒我們需謹慎分析正確資料， 姊妹們獲益良多。 

願主帶領多加團契每位姊妹，把生命建立在信仰實踐為目標的方向上，學習彼此牧養及互動，以致我們能夠展現神在我們生活中的作為，榮耀主名！ 

陳祖華弟兄

主題：儆醒謹守，候主再來 
金句： 「又要彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。」（希伯來書 10:24） 
團歌：〈求引領我心〉 

今年團契的一件大事，是年初我們的團牧關牧師退休並離任。主要不是因健康緣故，而是因為他在北宣牧養多年，需要稍作休息，也預備日後新的服事方向。感謝主，我們得以為他舉辦一個大組的歡送聚會，向他表達多年來帶領與關懷的謝意。 

同時，我們滿心感恩，因為在七月間迎來梁偉剛傳道接任。梁傳道其實在多年前已曾在北宣服事兩年，對我們並不陌生。如今他更積極參與保羅團各小組的查經聚會，與組員彼此認識、加深了解。這對團契的合一與建立，都有很大的幫助。 

NSY (North Side Youth) is our youth group for high school students and high school-aged youth that meets on Friday nights during the school term. Over the past four terms, we have focused on encouraging the youth to know, grow, show and sow Christ in their daily lives. In term 1 this year, we explored topics on Christian living such as Bible reading, prayer, and church. In term 2, we did a series on “Two ways to live”. This series aims to look into the gospel message and what it means to be a follower of Jesus. 

At the beginning of term 2, we also attended the KYCK youth conference held by KCC. It was a weekend away with 30 of our youth and we had 6 talk sessions with time in between for bonding and relationship building. We’ve also conducted youth service for MES at the end of term 2 where youth are encouraged to serve in various roles for leading the service. In term 3, we have invited Yakim and Grace to come share more about what mission is all about. This is to encourage and inspire our youth to think about how they can engage in the gospel mission for God. We hope that our youth will be eager to join and connect Christians from other schools and grow together as fellow brothers and sisters.  

Throughout this year, we have continually seen God’s work and love in this ministry. There have been challenges along the way, such as in the influx of new year 7 youths and planning for leadership development and the future of NSY. But, we thank and praise God, who has been carrying us through each step and growing the ministry, the youth, and their relationships with one another.

主題 : 「學效基督  ·  愛人如己」 

團訓 : 「要常常喜樂, 不住地禱告, 凡事謝恩。」帖撒羅尼迦前書 五: 16-18上 

團歌 : 主愛深厚 

歌詞  :  無愁又無掛慮, 前途在神手裏 。 

               耶穌洗脫我罪, 感激主愛深厚。 

這是長青團每次週會開始時都唱的歌和讀的金句。  

今年的週會內容有動和靜，動的包括同樂日、創意盆栽、齊齊整美食、齊整燈籠迎中秋和戶外活動等等 ···。 

靜的包括分組查經：上半年查耶穌寶訓，下半年查教會的誕生。 

專題講座：看video見證、牙齒講座和感恩見證分享。 

有一位長者於去年11月接受水禮，然後她回鄉探親一段時間，回來後覺得她開心了，也投入崇拜和團契，可惜7月初她要入住護老院。 

另有位長者因跌傷了手和牙齒，休養差不多9個月，現因身體一些毛病，不能外出，希望遲些她能回來參加團契。 

還有一位長者從香港來陪伴她的孫女在澳洲上大學，照顧她的起居生活；這位長者熱心服事，廚藝精湛，她每三個月來雪梨住三個月。 

每一位長者都有他的故事，感謝神賜我們一班愛神愛人的服事團隊， 常常探望有需要的長者。 

團契週會能做到活潑和溫馨，全賴這些年輕的弟兄姊妹的委身服事。 

感謝讚美我們天上的三一真神。

親愛的弟兄姊妹，是時候匯報執事會在北宣家教會的事情了。 

蒙　神保守，在2025 年教會選出九位執事：四位來自廣東話事工、三位來自英語事工、兩位來自國語事工。我們持續改進行政工作，並以更公開透明的方式向弟兄姊妹報告。弟兄姊妹們非常感謝每季財務簡報的清晰明瞭，讓他們清楚奉獻的流向及教會財務的穩健狀況。此外，北宣家在本財政年度已償還所有貸款，成為一間零負債的教會。這讓北宣家在未來有更多空間可以在　神帶領下懷抱遠大的夢想。執事會很欣慰看到年輕一代願意挺身而出，在教會的行政事務上服事　神。 

2025年，本堂的會眾人數大幅增長。為此，執事會進一步引入Elvanto教會管理系統的更多功能，以： 

• 有效管理會友資料 

• 新朋友登記 

• 兒童主日學行政管理（過敏/用藥資訊）及點名 

• 會友特別大會／週年會友大會投票短訊發放 

• 營會報名及停車許可申請表 

• 主日崇拜事奉人員排班 

在此感謝各位執事委身服事、互相補足。執事們也感謝弟兄姊妹的禱告和持續不斷的支援，特別是當教會持續增長時，我們更需要　神的恩典來成就一切美好的事。我們邀請弟兄姊妹為北宣家未來發展代禱，包括教會擴堂、設施維護，及讓教會建築變得環保省電，以響應時代的需要。

Dear Brothers and Sisters, it is time to report what happened to our Church in the eyes of the Board of Deacons.   

In 2025, we have nine Deacons: four from Cantonese ministry, three from English ministry and two from Mandarin ministry.  We continued improve the administrative work and being more transparent to brothers and sisters.  Brothers and sisters appreciated the clarity of the quarterly financial briefs, so that they understood where the offerings go and the health of Church finance. In addition, NSCAC repaid all loans and became a debt-free church. This enables NSCAC to have room to dream big in future.  The Board of Deacons are happy that younger generations were willing to step up and serve God in handling administrative matters of our Church. 

NSCAC experienced huge growth in the number of patrons in 2025.  The Board of Deacons introduced more functionality of Elvanto Church management system to: 

• effectively manage membership information 

• register newcomers 

• Children Sunday School administration (allegies/medications) and roll calls 

• EGM/AGM voting SMS 

• Camp and parking permit forms 

• Sunday services rosters 

The Board of Deacons is thankful that Deacons worked extra step.  The Deacons also thanked for your prayers and ongoing support, especially when our Church is growing, we really need God’s grace to make all the beautiful things happen. We invite brothers and sisters for your prayers to the future development of the Church, include Church expansion, upkeep the facilities and make the Church building greener. 

去年回顧 

每年的差傳年會，神都差遣祂忠心的僕人來教導我們、鼓勵我們。去年有Horizons International (Asia) 的Edward和Sandy宣教士夫婦，讓我們看到什麼是不以生命為重、全然擺上的事奉。他們的宣教經歷，充滿危險，他們一無懼怕，讓人看到神的大能。仲然Sandy身患絕症，她沒有絲毫憂慮，努力活好每一天，抓緊機會傳揚福音，裝備信徒。他們的生命就是一篇美妙的講章。 

除了在衆多華人宣道會作差傳年會講道員，他們在其他華人教會內，舉辦多次向穆民傳福音的訓練，並且在多個星期日的下午，帶領弟兄姊妹出隊實習。雖然穆民的外展報佈道，因一些原因停了，卻讓弟兄姊妹親身體驗跨文化宣教的困難。面對雪梨廣大的穆民禾田，期望日後，再次可以舉辦訓練，喚醒華人教會向穆民傳福音的迫切。 

去年年底，在非洲服侍的M&L (Martin & Lisa)，回澳洲述職。在12月初，他們在教會分享在工場的感恩及見證，有不少弟兄姊妹出席。他們在澳洲停留一個多月，雖然經歷交通意外，但是神保守他們平安，毫無損傷。奇妙地，上帝更為他們預備另一輛車子，可以完成述職的行程。 

感恩D&E (Daniel & Esther) 的差遣禮，順利在今年二月舉行。他們差會的總幹事，專程到雪梨出席典禮，並且向他們訓勉，堅固他們的心。雖然D&E出發去工場的經歷，充滿波折難阻，但是他們仍然耐心等候，同時也看到上帝為他們一步一步的開路。祈求神繼續引領，使他們今年內能平安到達工場，服侍他們的群體。 

由於公共保險的要求，教會仍然支持Dubbo的城鄉佈道事工，平均每三個月出隊一次。感恩在過去一年，有一對職青夫婦加入，使到我們可以擴大探訪地區，接觸更多城鄉的華人。同時，我們看到有華人願意悔改，相信耶穌基督 ，並且有華人對我們的態度變得友善，成為朋友，這是很大的鼓勵，可是，也有一些對福音冷淡的。求神加添隊員的愛心，能夠有智慧地去傳福音及關懷城鄉的華人。 

在過去的一年，教會支助了四位年青人參加短宣，有一位去柬埔寨，三位去台灣。求神透過短宣的經歷，讓這些年青人，看到普世差傳的廣大禾場，未得之民的福音需要，和體驗到不同文化的宣教挑戰，成為熱心差傳的差者或傳者。 

挑戰 

北宣的差傳事工正面對多方面的挑戰。首先每月的差關祈禱會人數下降，現在只有四位肢體經常出席。其次北宣差傳事工，停滯不前，缺乏新的突破，可以有效地推動各堂會衆關心及參與差傳。祈求聖靈復興北宣差傳事工，感動各堂不同年齡的肢體，願意學習和更深參與差傳，使我們成為有普世視野，合神心意的教會。 

展望 

回顧過去一年，看到神豐富的恩典，弟兄姊妹忠心在信心認獻的回應，以致在金錢上沒有欠缺。但我更加期望，神興起北宣的肢體，在身體力行上參與，努力認識普世宣教的需要，積極支援前線宣教工人和福音事工，不斷為差傳及福音事工祈禱，使福音早日傳遍世界每個角落、每個民族。 

Highlights of last year 

God always sends His faithful servants to teach and encourage us at our annual mission conference. Last year, we had Edward and Sandy, a missionary couple from Horizons International (Asia), who showed us what it means to serve sacrificially, not valuing even their own lives. Their mission experience was full of danger, yet they had no fear, allowing us to witness God’s great power. Even though Sandy was diagnosed with a terminal illness, she showed no worry—she lived each day fully, seizing every opportunity to share the gospel and equip believers. Their lives were a beautiful sermon in themselves. 

In addition to being speakers of mission conferences at several Chinese Alliance churches, they also held multiple evangelism training sessions focused on reaching Muslims. On several Sunday afternoons, they led brothers and sisters to outreach Muslims on streets to practise what they have learned. Although outreach to Muslims has been stopped due to various reasons, these experiences helped participants understand the challenges of cross-cultural missions firsthand. Considering the vast Muslim community in Sydney, we pray that more similar trainings will be held in the future, awakening the Chinese churches to the urgency of reaching Muslims. 

At the end of last year, M&L (Martin & Lisa), who serve in Africa, returned to Australia for home assignment. In early December, they shared their thanksgiving and testimonies from the mission field at church, with many brothers and sisters in attendance. They stayed in Australia for over a month. Although they experienced a car accident during that time, God protected them and they were unharmed. Amazingly, God even provided another vehicle for them to complete their home assignment trip. 

We were thankful that D&E’s (Daniel & Esther) commissioning service was successfully held this February. The General Director of their mission organization made a special trip to Sydney to attend the ceremony and gave them an encouraging message to strengthen their hearts. Although D&E’s journey to the mission field have been full of challenges and delays, they have patiently waited and seen how God has opened the way for them step by step. We pray that God will continue to lead them and enable them to arrive safely at the mission field this year to serve their target community. 

Due to public liability insurance requirements, our church continues to support the urban-rural outreach ministry in Dubbo area. The team goes out roughly once every three months. We are thankful that in the past year, a young couple joined the team, allowing us to expand our outreach area and connect with more Chinese people in rural towns. We have seen some Chinese willing to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, and some have become friendlier towards us—this is a great encouragement. However, there are still many remain indifferent to the gospel. We pray that God will increase the love in the hearts of team members and give them wisdom to share the gospel and care for the rural Chinese community effectively. 

Over the past year, the church supported four young people in participating in short-term missions: one went to Cambodia and three went to Taiwan. We pray that through their short-term mission experiences, these young people will see the vast mission fields around the world, understand the gospel needs of unreached people groups, and experience the challenges of cross-cultural missions—so that they may become passionate senders or goers in missions. 

Challenges 

The mission ministry at NSCAC is currently facing several challenges. First, attendance at the monthly mission prayer meeting has declined, with only four people regularly participating. Secondly, the mission ministry itself has stagnated, lacking new breakthroughs that would effectively mobilize the congregation across different services to care about and engage in missions. We pray for the Holy Spirit to revive our mission ministry, to stir the hearts of members of all ages, that they may be willing to learn and engage more deeply in missions, so that we may become a church aligned with God’s heart. 

Looking Ahead 

Looking back over the past year, we see God’s abundant grace. The faithful giving of brothers and sisters through faith pledges meant we had no financial lack. But even more, I hope God will raise up more members from NSCAC to actively participate in missions, to grow in understanding the needs of world missions, and to provide ongoing support for frontline missionaries and gospel ministries. Let us continue to pray for missions and gospel work, so that the gospel will be spread to every corner of the world and every people group.
