INTRODUCTION

How do we understand mental health from a biblical perspective?How does the Bible speak into the wide range of struggles that our church members face?How can we grow in understanding the need for a biblical approach to mental health and counseling issues within our Chinese churches? It is our privilege to present to you our one day conference, “Meeting Counseling and Mental Health Needs in the Church.” We hope to con-tribute a deeper biblical understanding of the wide spectrum of mental health and counseling needs within our Chinese churches. Each of our speakers have unique and valuable ministry insight into how the Chi-nese/Chinese-American church can be more involved in understanding and addressing the mental health needs of its members. Our conference is for pastors, church leaders, and interested laypeople.We hope you can join us!

我們如何從聖經的角度來認識和理解心理問題?聖經是如何對教會中基督徒經歷的各種掙扎來說話的?我們如何學習並加深理解華人教會中對用聖經來做輔導和心理諮詢的需要? 我們很榮幸可以介紹我們只為期一天的會議,“面對教會輔導與心裡健康的需要。”我們旨在為加深華人教會對於如何使用聖經來理解和面對各種心裡健康問題和輔導的需要,而做出一點綿薄之力。我們的每一個講員都有着寶貴並獨特的事工經驗和視角,以幫助華人/美國華人教會加深對其會眾中心裡健康問題需要的理解,並學習如何應對。

我們的會議是向牧師,教會領袖,和對聖經輔導感興趣的基督徒準備的。我們希望您能加入我們!

KEYNOTE AND WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS: KEYNOTE #1

Speaker: Monica Kim, M.A.R. Location: Sanctuary Title: Stigmatized and Medicalized Perspectives of Counseling in Chinese/Asian Cultures: How Does Scripture View Counseling?Description: Medicalized and stigmatized perspectives of counseling are very common. However, these perspectives often become barriers to understanding the deeper, richer, and practical perspectives of Biblical counseling. This plenary session addresses the impact of these perspec-tives on God’s people and introduces a profound Biblical perspective of counseling.

KEYNOTE #2

Speaker: Sam Ng, LCSW (吳子良)Location: Sanctuary Title: Christian Counseling- A Comprehensive Problem Solving Approach

WORKSHOP #1:

Speaker: Sam Ng, LCSW (吳子良), Location: Sanctuary Title: Prayers and Process to Build a Christian Counseling Ministry in your town. 如何在你的社區成立和堅立一個基督徒輔導事工?Description: Based on the experience of the Living Grace Counseling Ministry in Los Angeles, from its inception, formation, and growth, Sam Ng will point out the important components (Mission, Personnel, Organization, Finance) and the process needed to build and sustain a counseling ministry that can last and bless people in your town.

講員將會分享他在洛杉磯如何成立和堅立一個基督徒輔導事工(由成立時的 恩泉輔導中心, 到成為基督教角聲佈道 團-南加州分會, 角聲家庭中心恩泉輔 導事工)的經驗,並從異象、人才、組織、財務四方面去闡述一個基督徒輔 導事工的成長過程。

Speaker: John Applegate MD, Location: Room 103Title: PRN - a model of responsible shepherding of mental health needs in the church

Page 8: INTRODUCTION · 2020. 1. 12. · tribute a deeper biblical understanding of the wide spectrum of mental health and counseling needs within our Chinese churches. Each of our speakers

Description: God has charged the elders of His church to care for His sheep. When those sheep have mental health or counseling needs, what is the most responsible way to offer care? Should the elders of the church be expected to equip themselves to deal with any and every situation? If they refer to a professional outside the church, will there be spiritu-al accountability for the counseling they are receiving? What if people cannot afford professional help? Hear one elder’s journey from both his perspective as a shepherd and as a psychiatrist to create a structure that seeks to address these issues thereby empowering the local church to offer gospel hope to those in desperate need.

Speaker: Peter Chow, MDiv, PhD (周功和牧師); Easter Gau, MDiv, LPC (高金铃) Location: Room 100Title: 教會的教導與輔導Description: 教會除了要使萬民做主的門徒,給他們施洗以外,還要遵行主所說,「凡我所吩咐你們的,都教訓他們遵守。」(太二十八18-20) 保羅去世前交待提摩太說:「你在許多見證人面前聽見我所教訓的,也要交托那忠心能教導別人的人。」(提後二2)牧師、長老的職責, 包含真理的教導與傳承(弗四11-16;提前五17)。教導的目的是叫信徒能用愛心說誠實話,連於基督,各按各職,彼此相助,在愛中彼此建立。聖經對「教導」的看法,不只是宣告一套規則,乃是要藉言教與身教、懇切的禱告與勸勉, 使眾信徒能夠滿有良善,能彼此勸戒、一起成長(羅十五14)。單單告訴會友他應如何行、不應如何行,是不夠的,因聽道的人往往沒有能力行道。有些會友在神面前還是心地剛硬,沒有把主權交給主。有些會友養成壞習慣,無法勝過。有些夫妻性格上有衝突,或價值觀有衝突,彼此之間有無法化解的矛盾。教會需要把真理的傳講、聖靈的感動與能力、主內的團契與關懷、誠懇謙卑的勸戒等統合在一起,才算是聖經所謂的「教導」。三一教會所推行的「聖經輔導」事工,六年來一直在實踐聖經所講的「教導」。本workshop的目的,是介紹與聖經輔導的性質,這些年來神藉聖經輔導在教會裏所成就的事,以及未來的展望,使榮耀歸給神。 WORKSHOP #2,

Speaker: Phlip Siu, MD, Location: Room 103Title: Mental Health in Children and Adolescents「兒童與青少年的心理健康」(in English, with bilingual Power point)Description: Perhaps a surprise to many, adolescents and even chil-dren experience mental health crisis. Some arises as biological propen-sities, some as reaction to their environment and family dysfunctions. In any given year, 20% of American children will be diagnosed with a mental illness. The Chinese family is more likely to minimize these until the children become dysfunctional, and the diagnosis of mental health in children differs from that of the adults in many ways.

Page 9: INTRODUCTION · 2020. 1. 12. · tribute a deeper biblical understanding of the wide spectrum of mental health and counseling needs within our Chinese churches. Each of our speakers

This workshop seeks to introduce current understanding of mental health conditions common among children and adolescents such as Anxiety Dis-order, ADHD, Disruptive Behavior Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disor-der, Eating Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia. Familiarity and sensitivities to these mental health conditions and knowl-edge and resources to help them are crucial to church leaders. Proper recognition and acceptance by family, children, adolescents, and church body will facilitate early initiation of needed therapy, counseling, and appropriate pharmacotherapy.

Speaker: Helen Liang, MSEE, MCC (何蕙青), Location: Room 100Title: 以圣经為原則的教会關怀与輔導 Biblical Counseling and Caring Ministry in ChurchesDescription: 關怀与輔導的相同和不同处案列分析:家庭關系問題,婚戀問題Similarities and differences between Caring Ministry and CounselingCase Study: cases of Family, Marriage and dating counseling

Speaker: Monica Kim, MAR Location: Sanctuary Title: Our Perspectives of Weaknesses and Problems: Our Need for a Biblical Perspective and Approach Description: In this seminar we will explore and discuss some of the common approaches to weaknesses and problems in the Asian context that can be limiting and detrimental, deterring us from seeking counsel-ing help. This seminar will address how scripture gives a different per-spective while highlighting the importance and the practice of receiving wise counsel.
