梁展光牧師 Rev. Daniel Leung (顧問牧師/家庭事工部分時間同工)
我和內子於一九七九年畢業於香港建道神學院後,先有十年服務於香港宣道會,一九八九年
移民紐約,在華宣事奉至今。
我們親眼看見神恩待華宣,在其間事奉,我們自己也滿得恩典。教牧同工們的勤勞、教會領袖的同心、年長兄姊的關懷、以至兒童們的歡笑,都使人感到事奉的樂趣和享受。
教會座落在唐人街,會友卻從不同的地區遠道前來聚會,因為我們都懷著同一的異象:『求主使我們教會成為強大的差傳基地!』我們不單樂在華宣,也為這教會祈禱,願天父使華宣成為聖潔,合乎主用;更求主藉這教會,使人信耶穌。

方小紅傳道 Pastor Milly Fong (佈道/外展/國語事工)
在香港土生土長,八八年移民來美後,仍是過著我行我素的生活;直到九二年被 神拯救,才瞭解甚麼是真理,明白生存的意義!
感謝 神讓我相信祂之後,就可以立即出來服事。 神安排祂的仕女於角聲佈道團屬下之〔號角〕月報事奉,義務協助文字工作,九三年更成為全職同工,擔任副編輯一職。期間學習如何與 神同工,並以信心過活,誠然是屬靈的重要訓練。
我們所信的 神,更是一位成全諸事的 神!在九六年祂有新的帶領,就是讓我前往上州宣道神學院進修,九九年修畢神學碩士,同年四月,就在紐約華人宣道會當傳道人至今。
回顧往昔,全是恩典!祂使用我這個卑微不配的器皿,特別有負擔向中國同胞傳福音,在 神的恩手祝福、恩領下,國語事工及週二晚堂崇拜,就成為我主要的服事範圍。
此外, 神多年來也把我放在教會不同的崗位上,來塑造我的生命,經歷祂無盡的恩惠。就算在二OO七年罹患癌症,在祂的同在、保守下,現在仍可以繼續事奉,那份喜悅、感恩之情,實在難以言喻。
就像詩人所說的:
〔我拿甚麼報答耶和華向我所賜的一切厚恩?我要舉起救恩的杯,稱揚耶和華的名!〕 -詩一一六:12-13-
願意我餘下的日子,也有使徒保羅的事奉心志:
〔凡我所行的,都是為福音的緣故,為要與人同得這福音的好處。〕 -林前九:23-
一切榮耀全歸於我主、我 神!

余莊秀蓉 Jenny Yee (華宣教室主任 Alliance Learning Center Director)
Jenny Yee 是一個低調,喜歡默默耕耘的人,神卻使用她成為教會向社區拓展,傳揚福音的另類僕人。
其實Jenny在教會的時間非短。仍未建堂前,藉着梁牧師的帶領,開創了育培學社。那時教會附近聚居了不少華人,三年的辦學,把一批又一批,大部份是新移民的學生帶進教會。猶記那時最年長的學生是六十七歲的長者,而最年幼的祇有四、五歲,在神的帶領下在他們心中播下福音種子。可惜因為建堂中斷了學社的運作。回到新澤西另開補習社,做了三、四年,成績不錯,神一直帶領我在教學方面札根。
建堂後當時的陳牧師一再推請我回教會事奉,唯因家母兩次摔倒引致老人痴呆,決意拋下一切回港陪伴,一去便是七年,在港期間,沒有實實在在地去傳福音,但不少學生知道我們是基督徒,時常發問有關信仰方面問題,有很多機會分享真道,亦是一個好渠道。
轉瞬間回美已三年多,左三年、右三年,中間又七年,回首時已屆登 “六” 之年,再一次加入華宣大家庭事奉。三年來歷盡不少風浪,踫上了不少問題,最大要面對的問題莫過於今次的嚴峻疫情,一度以為要引身而退,但消沉時又遇着激勵的話語,故一路堅持至今,就憑一個 “信” 字,那怕狂風巨浪祇要認知神是我的靠山,何懼之有,繼續努力吧!
「你當倚靠耶和華而行善,住在地上,以他的信實為糧;
又要以耶和華為樂,他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。
當將你的事交託耶和華,並倚靠他,他就必成全。」(詩篇三十七篇 3-5)
I’m Jenny Yee, a person God is willing to use at Church to reach out to the community under the Extension ministry. However, I’m only like to till and sow quietly. Am I the right person?
Actually, I joined the church a long time ago. Before the building expansion, Rev. Daniel Leung asked me to head up and established the Extension Dept.’s community outreach. During that time, many Chinese people live around our neighborhood. The work lasted three years until the church had to build up in the existing foundation. Our aim was to bring the new immigrants an opportunity to learn, know the Gospel and into the church. We had succeeded to invite different groups of people to come in. We had seniors and students who had not even entered schools. We hoped that the seeds can be sown into their lives.
Because of the need of construction, we had to stop our work at church. For the three years, God has been very faithful in guiding us through. After the construction, Rev. Calvin Tran had asked me to come back and serve. However, my mother had slipped and broke her hips. I wanted to spend some time in Hong Kong and went back for about twelve years. We had a small tutoring center in HK. God is great! We found another Alliance church in Yuen Long, where we lived. We still had the opportunities to witness there.
We came back for 3 years already. Rev. Leung again invited me for another chance to serve Him again. We started the Alliance Learning Center in 2018. The pandemic has caused the in-person learning to halt and all learning are in virtual teaching.
We trust the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and he will do this…… Psalm 37:3-5
