翁&Jung
Rev David Yung 翁沛偉牧師
Sydney
翁 — the venerable elder. jung, ung, jong — the young. The same breath of a name, carried into thirty alphabets, and never spelt twice the same.
Across many tongues you can find the name, yet it's never spelt the same. Here you'll catch a glimpse of how the gospel crosses from one tongue into another.
The cost of crossing is great, but the cost of the cross is greater. And though we may lament what we have lost, to see God's hand bring us from death to life is worth every crossing. 翁沛偉
A short list, kept short on purpose — places I actually send people.
The network of Sydney Anglican churches with Chinese-language ministry — Mandarin and Cantonese congregations across the diocese, and the One For All conference.
The parish I serve. Two congregations in parallel — one English-speaking and all-together, one Mandarin-speaking — along with growth groups, youth and children's ministry, Easy English classes and a food pantry.
Bibles, gospel explanations and discipleship material in twelve languages — Arabic, Cantonese, Farsi, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Nepali, Russian, Spanish and Tamil — plus links to 53 Australian Indigenous languages and hundreds more. The first place to look if someone walks into your church and English is not going to reach them.
