你知道嗎？北宣家的群體牧養系統除了以團契模式作分齡牧養之外，還有跨齡牧養的小組模式。動力小組牧養科歡迎各年齡層的弟兄姊妹加入，我們共有四個系列：以查經為主的生命查經小組、回應及實踐崇拜講道的牧顧行道小組、以多元化週會為主的生命培育小組、及以使命作主導的使命實踐小組。我們的牧養理念是「彼此牧養．貼主心懷」（來十24）。在迎新會中，我總會以腓立比書一章5節鼓勵新組員全心委身在小組科：「因為從頭一天直到如今，你們是同心合意地興旺福音。」「同心合意」的希臘文字是koinonia，有三方面的含意：Fellowship同心團契、Partnership同心夥伴、Participation同心參與。從頭一天成立動力小組牧養科起，我們就認定這份動力是源自主耶穌基督的愛，祂的愛激勵我們同心同行，彼此牧養；我們也成為親密夥伴，同心參與傳福音的使命，這份使命感推動著我們的靈命成長，深化我們主內家人的關係，更開闊了我們向鄰舍服事的眼界，叫我們把愛傳出去！
一位參與長者送暖行動的弟兄分享，他本來只是幫太太搬抬物資的，但這一小步踏出後，神卻讓他體驗到獨居長者的需要，他因而甘心樂意委身在這服事中。也有姊妹分享她學到不少義工守則，如不可單獨行事，要與弟兄姊妹各按恩賜合一地事奉，謙卑地傳遞關愛，以尊重和關心遵行主的大使命，更重要的是，使命是要在服事之後持續地應用在日常生活裡，關心有需要的人！
在「使命樂奔Fun——Run for Mission」啟動禮中，堂主任周曉暉牧師勉勵我們要以長跑精神，靠主堅持不斷在服事中學習成長。接著我們從「使命樹」 摘下果子再「拋出」，象徵使命行動結出果子，綻放主的光和祝福。我們讓200多位參與者認識小組科各使命小組的特色，並按自己的恩賜參與其中，例如藉行山帶人走進教會的越嶺組、關懷長者的探訪外展小組、服事未信配偶的與君同行小組、服事成癮者的和散那小組、向寵物主人傳福音的寵愛同行小組、向精神病康復者傳福音的主愛小組、支援長者家居照顧的居家護老小組、在職場（中環、金鐘、灣仔）為主作見證的職場行者小組、關顧離異喪偶者的蛻變小組等，這些小組都是弟兄姊妹領受了從神而來的福音異象而成立的，他們的見證帶來了纍纍的果實。
歡迎你也加入我們的小隊，一起同行，為主發光！
Did you know that in addition to our age-specific fellowship groups, North Point Alliance Church also provides pastoral care through intergenerational small groups? The Dynamic Groups Ministry welcomes brothers and sisters of all ages to join us. We offer four different series of small groups: Life Bible Study Groups, which focus primarily on studying the Bible; Shepherding and Discipleship Groups, which aim to respond to and put sermons into practice; Life Nurturing Groups, which feature diverse weekly meetings; and Mission Engagement Groups, which are guided by missional objectives. Our pastoral philosophy is "Shepherd one another; Attune to the Lord's heart" (Hebrews 10:24). At every newcomers' gathering, I always encourage new members to commit wholeheartedly to our small groups ministry using Philippians 1:5: "because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." The Greek word for "partnership" is Koinonia, which carries three meanings: Fellowship, Partnership, and Participation. From the very beginning, the Dynamic Groups Ministry has recognized that our motivation comes from the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. His love compels us to walk together in unity and shepherd one another. We also become close partners, participating actively in the mission of sharing the gospel together. This sense of mission drives our spiritual growth, deepens our relationships with members in God's family, and broadens our vision for serving our neighbors, empowering us to share out God's love!
A brother involved in our outreach for the seniors shared that he initially joined just to help his wife move supplies. Yet after taking that small step, God let him experience the needs of seniors living alone, leading him to commit joyfully and willingly to this ministry. Another sister shared that she learned many important guidelines about serving as a volunteer, that, for instance, no one should serve alone. Instead, everyone should serve in unity with other brothers and sisters according to their spiritual gifts. She learned to humbly express love, faithfully fulfilling the Great Commission with respect and care. Most importantly, she realized that our mission must continue beyond our immediate service, extending into our daily lives as we continue to care for those in need!
At our "Mission Joy Run – Run for Mission" launch event, our Senior Pastor, Rev. Arnold Chow, encouraged us to adopt a marathon spirit to persistently rely on the Lord and continuously learn and grow through serving. We then picked "fruits" from a "Mission Tree" and tossed them forward, representing how our missional efforts bear fruit, radiating the Lord's light and blessings outward. We introduced over 200 participants to various mission-focused small groups within our ministry, encouraging them to join according to their spiritual gifts. These include the Cross-Mountain Group, which brings people to church through hiking; the Care for Seniors Outreach Group, which provides care and visitations for seniors; the "Walk with You" Group, serving unbelieving spouses; the Hosanna Group, which serves those struggling with addictions; the Pet-Lovers Outreach Group, which shares the gospel with pet owners; the Lord's Love Group, which shares the good news with people recovering from mental illnesses; the Homecare Support Group for Seniors, which assists seniors with homecare; the Workplace Witness Group, which witnesses to Christ in workplace settings (Central, Admiralty, and Wan Chai); and the Transformation Group, which supports those who have experienced divorce or widowhood. These small groups were established by brothers and sisters after they had received a gospel vision from God, and their testimonies have produced abundant fruit.
You, too, are invited to join our small groups to journey together and shine for the Lord!
