Hudson Taylor Centre for Chinese Ministries

Pastoral Wellness / 牧者的安健

We encourage all full time Christian workers and ministers to be aware of pastor wellness. We have developed an instrument to help pastors to assess their wellness, and we hope that both pastors and churches will make use of this test.

We have published our findings regarding pastor wellness in Pastor Wellness among Chinese Churches: A Canadian Study in the Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling. 2019; 73(3):169-175.

In the future, the Centre will collaborate with the Living Water Counselling Centre to provide seminars and talks to pastors and churches to help them maintain wellness and satisfaction in ministry.

這事工是鼓勵所有全職事奉的基督徒關注牧者的安健。為此,我們設定了一個測試方法,幫助牧者們去評估他們的康健狀況。盼望牧者及教會能使用。

我們在《教牧牧養與輔導雜誌》2019; 73(3):169-175上發表了有關加拿大華人教會的牧者安康的研究結果。https://doi.org/10.1177/1542305019872435

在不久的將來,中心將會與泉源輔導中心合辦一些講座,並且會和教牧同工及教會聯絡對話,務求能幫助他們保持安健並事奉中的滿足。

首先,上帝幫助我再學會接受祂的看顧,在生活中讓大牧者引導我、潔淨我、...
