肖恩·索頓牧師出任國際殘疾事工總裁




國際殘疾事工Joni and Friends宣佈肖恩·索頓牧師擔任總裁

索頓牧師是加爾瓦里社區教會的高級牧師,擁有個人殘疾經歷。

2025年2月5日,加州阿戈拉山谷(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——國際殘疾事工Joni and Friends高興地宣佈,肖恩·索頓牧師被選為新總裁。他將於3月正式上任,負責推動外展和福音工作,為世界上最脆弱的公民提供實際幫助,例如輪椅和耶穌基督的救贖之愛。

Joni and Friends國際董事會在執行招聘公司Carter Baldwin的帶領下,經過全面的全國搜索,選擇了肖恩·索頓牧師。索頓牧師在推動教會繁榮的特殊需要事工方面有著豐富的經歷,並在面對痛苦和殘疾問題時,展現出基於聖經的、尊崇基督的神學。他自2023年以來一直在Joni and Friends國際董事會任職。

索頓牧師接替2024年底因家庭原因辭職的總裁勞拉·加德納。勞拉於2011年加入Joni and Friends,擔任首席財務官,並於2022年被任命為總裁。

肖恩表示,他和妻子萊斯莉對於在Joni and Friends開始這一新篇章感到非常期待,因為他是由一位有重大殘疾的母親撫養長大的。

“能夠與事工創始人喬尼·伊爾克森·塔達(Joni Eareckson Tada)並肩工作,幫助在我們心中如此重要的社區中推進福音,是我們相信上帝明確呼召我們追求的機會,”肖恩說。

Joni and Friends的創始人兼首席執行官喬尼·伊爾克森·塔達表示:“肖恩·索頓的任期將確保這項事工的忠誠性延續到未來幾代人。展望未來十年,健康的神學至關重要,而肖恩不僅具備這方面的資歷,還擁有一顆熱愛基督的心。”

“展望未來,我深信上帝將肖恩·索頓帶到我們身邊。他的生活經歷、專業背景以及對基督的深切承諾,讓他在推進我們向全球殘疾人士傳遞耶穌基督希望的使命中,具備獨特的優勢,”喬尼說。

Joni and Friends致力於創造一個每位生活在殘疾中的人都能找到希望、尊嚴和在基督身體中位置的世界。在他所牧養的教會中,肖恩也一直在朝著這一目標努力。

作為加州西湖村的加爾瓦里社區教會的高級牧師,索頓牧師推動了與Joni and Friends合作啟動和發展一個強大的殘疾事工,這一事工已成為全國其他教會的榜樣。

肖恩的個人故事突顯了殘疾如何影響整個家庭,而不僅僅是被診斷的親人。他摯愛的母親在14歲時因車禍遭受創傷性腦損傷,這使她終生面臨心理、情感和身體的掙扎。

他母親的挑戰讓肖恩的童年充滿混亂,但他的母親是一位堅定的耶穌信徒,並受到喬尼1976年自傳《喬尼:難以忘懷的故事》的感動。當她感到不順心時,母親會說:“如果喬尼·伊爾克森能做到,那我也能。”

Joni and Friends是全球領先的基督教殘疾事工。自1979年成立以來,Joni and Friends利用實際幫助作為向全球殘疾人士傳播耶穌基督福音的平台。Joni and Friends展望一個每位生活在殘疾中的人都能找到希望、尊嚴和在基督身體中位置的世界。該事工在五大洲的45個國家提供服務,分發輪椅、舉辦休養退修會、運營殘疾中心,並幫助教會接納殘疾人士。

這篇文章不僅展示了肖恩·索頓牧師的任命,還強調了他與殘疾的個人連結,這對於他在Joni and Friends的工作將產生深遠的影響。索頓的背景和經歷使他能夠更好地理解和同情那些面對類似挑戰的人,這將有助於他在推進事工使命方面的努力。

此外,這次任命也反映了Joni and Friends對於未來的願景,尤其是在推進健康神學方面的重視。隨著社會對殘疾的認知不斷提高,這個事工的角色將變得愈加重要。希望在索頓牧師的領導下,Joni and Friends能夠繼續為全球殘疾人士帶來希望和支持,並在基督教社區中發揮更大的影響力。
