北加州分會

2024年9月，北加州分會踏入32年！我們為此深深感謝神！32年是一個重要的里程碑，也是繼續齊心、加倍努力的新起點。

September 2024 marks the 32nd year of our Northern California Branch! We are deeply grateful to God for this! Thirty-two years is an important milestone and a new beginning for us to continue working together with even greater effort.

• 我們今年舉辦了兩次華埠社區聚會，邀請了林修榮先生主講，傳播希望和福音信息給社區的人群。
• 感謝神！今年新增了乒乓球事工。望能藉著乒乓球活動和比賽，來聯絡社區中的朋友。今年總共舉辦了6場乒乓球賽，反應熱烈，有不少教會的弟兄姊妹和新朋友來看球賽。我們計劃在明年舉辦乒乓球聯賽，讓更多教會能參與這個事工。
• 角聲兒童合唱團，在三藩市灣區的南灣恢復了！並計劃在三藩市或半島地區，增加更多地點，盼望主使用這事工，引領孩子認識耶穌。
• 角聲癌友關懷成立已超過20週年。現有超過40名訓練有素的志願者，提供癌症護理服務，同時帶領人們歸向基督。
• 感謝主為《號角月報》，新增了幾位每月堅持提供一篇原創文稿的姊妹，為福音傳播增添力量。
• 感恩神聽禱告，網上節目傾談八點正上了「優管(Youtube)」頻道，收視率比之前有5到10倍的增長，感謝神！
• 神印證了我們的異象，帶領我們在三藩市日落區，開設了一個新的福音中心。這中心的建立，是與一所當地的華人教會，建立社區合作夥伴的成果。同時，神帶給我們意外的驚喜，為我們招募了4位義務同工來管理中心的事務。我們為此深深地感謝神的帶領和安排。正如以賽亞書四十三章19節提到：我們的神「必在曠野開道路，在沙漠開江河。」

In the past year, we have witnessed God’s work in many ways:

• Community Gatherings in Chinatown: We hosted two community gatherings in Chinatown this year, featuring Mr. Sau-Wing Lam as the keynote speaker, sharing messages of hope and the Gospel with the local community.
• New Ping Pong Ministry: Thank God for the addition of the Ping Pong Ministry this year. We hope to use ping pong activities and competitions to connect with friends in the community. We held a total of six ping pong tournaments this year, which were met with great enthusiasm and attendance from both church members and new friends. We plan to organize a ping pong league next year, allowing more churches to participate in this ministry.
• Revival of the Children’s Choir: The Children’s Choir has been revived in the South Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area! We are also planning to expand to more locations in San Francisco or on the Peninsula, hoping that the Lord will use this ministry to lead children to know Jesus.
• Cancer Care Ministry: The Cancer Care Ministry has been established for over 20 years. We now have more than 40 trained volunteers providing cancer care services and leading people to Christ.
• Contributions to The Herald Monthly: Thank the Lord for new contributors to the Herald Monthly, including several sisters who consistently provide original articles each month, adding strength to our Gospel outreach.
• Online Program Growth: We are grateful that our online program, “Talk at 8,” is now available on the YouTube channel, and its viewership has increased 5 to 10 times compared to before. Thank God!
• New Gospel Center in San Francisco: God has confirmed our vision and led us to open a new Gospel center in the Sunset District of San Francisco. This establishment is the result of a community partnership with a local Chinese church. Furthermore, God provided us with four volunteers to manage the center’s affairs, for which we are deeply thankful. As Isaiah 43:19 says, our God “will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

我們繼續秉承「角聲」服務精神，回應社區的需要，設立事工項目。聯合教會廣傳福音，成就大使命。三藩市灣區現有超過200間華人教會，如神願意，我們希望能在三、五年間，與教會建立夥伴關係:

1.  社區夥伴計劃：長期計劃與60間或更多教會合作，建立夥伴關係，開展更廣泛的社區服務。
2. 城市宣教體驗：呼籲灣區的華人教會，派出城市宣教團隊到奧克蘭角聲中心，幫助完成各種社區服務。盼望透過幫助社區人士，解決生活中的各種問題，引導世人認識神、歸向主。
3. 多元事工增長：啟動事工優化內部運作，重啟或開啟有需要的事工，擴大服務社區的範圍。短期內，開設社區事工培訓項目、開啟青少年及青年體育項目及聯賽等。中期計劃在灣區，新增一個社區中心或辦事處，增加一位同工，負責網絡節目製作。

感謝主聽禱告！在過往一年間，新增了一個社區中心，並開展了乒乓球事工。在未來的日子，我們需要神的指引，和教會、機構、弟兄姊妹及「角聲」大家庭的幫助和支持，一起揚帆啟航，繼續行天國之路。

We will continue to uphold CCHC’s spirit of service, establishing ministry programs in response to the needs of the community. We aim to spread the Gospel widely in partnership with churches, fulfilling the Great Commission. There are currently over 200 Chinese churches in the San Francisco Bay Area. If it is God’s will, we hope to establish partnerships with churches in the next three to five years:

1. Community Partnership Program: A long-term plan to collaborate with 60 or more churches, forming partnerships to provide broader community services.
2. Urban Mission Experience: Calling on Chinese churches in the Bay Area to send urban mission teams to the Oakland Gospel Center to help with various community services. We hope that by helping people solve various life problems, we can guide them to know God and turn to the Lord.
3. Growth of Diverse Ministries: Launching initiatives to optimize internal operations, restarting or launching necessary ministries, and expanding community service coverage. In the short term, we will establish community ministry training programs and launch sports programs and leagues for youth and young adults. In the medium term, we plan to add a new community center or office in the Bay Area and recruit an additional staff member to produce online programs.

We are grateful that God has heard our prayers! In the past year, we have established a new community center and launched the Ping Pong Ministry. In the days ahead, we will need God’s guidance, along with the help and support of churches, organizations, brothers and sisters, and the entire CCHC family, as we continue to set sail on our journey in the Kingdom of Heaven.
