Spiritual Direction
屬靈導引

Rev. Tony Wong 黃健忠牧師

I feel called to sit with individuals as they reflect on their life journeys, seek clarity, and search for a deeper connection with their authentic selves and the Sacred. As a spiritual director, I am not here to direct people to do this or to do that. Rather, I seek to provide a safe and welcoming space for reflection and exploration.
I strive to listen deeply and without judgment. Some may experience their spiritual director as a spiritual companion. Silence, prayer, and other spiritual practices may also be part of the spiritual direction experience. I have deep compassion for individuals who are struggling with grief and loss, as well as for those wrestling with questions of faith or their spiritual path.作為一位屬靈導師，我並不是要指導 你應該做出任何決定; 相反地，我希望幫助你更深地反思你現今的人生旅程。我特別關懷那些正在掙扎於信仰問題，或正在經歷哀傷與失落的人。屬靈導師也可被視為屬靈旅程中的同行者。沉默、祈禱，以及其他靈修操練，也可能成為屬靈導引過程的一部分。我希望陪伴你在人生旅程中反思生命、尋求清晰方向，建立更深的屬靈生命。
