陸牧師母女還未回到美國前,陸慕德牧師(Homer)已於1948年息勞歸主。陸秀貞牧師 (Beatrice)偕母回國,正好侍奉在側,讓母親頤養天年!惜其母陸以平牧師(Emma)身 體漸弱,亦於1955年因心臟病發而離世,享壽79 歲。 1957年,陸秀貞牧師(Beatrice)已年過60,本不是承擔開荒工作之年紀,但她沒有放下宣 教的負擔,從美國來到香港(已不能回到中國了) 得到來自上海的弟兄姊妹接待,開始了 家庭聚會。看來陸秀貞牧師心底的宣教使命仍然旺盛,再加上顧念母親的遺志、昔日會友的 需要(他們應是一直有保持聯絡) 再次踏上宣教的腳步,開始靈真堂的故事… 除了來自上海的弟兄姊妹外,後來一些從溫州來的家庭,也邀請陸牧師為他們主領家庭聚 會;由於人數漸多,便於土瓜灣北帝街22號三樓租用一單位開設教會,仍以「以馬內利傳道 會」命名,再加上「靈真堂」三字(Emmanuel MissionarySociety Gospel Assembly Church) 那時教會以群體佈道為主,以上海人為主要福音對象;故教會內近九成都是上海人,可說是 一間上海人教會!靈真堂立會的日期是1960年9月21日。 此時陸牧師已屆65歲,不太可能一個人完成教會種種牧養、教導、關顧等工作,加上香港是 華人社會,總得需要有華人的同工,才能把教會的事工做得深入和廣泛;惟一直找不到合適 人選。1961年4月,教會聘得于宅安先生(Stephen)為傳道人,于傳道為中華基督教傳道 會會友,畢業於香港聖經學院(香港神學院前身),後在廣大書院(後合併為中大的聯合書 (院)進修社教系。于傳道成了陸牧師同心事奉的好同工,且忠心事奉多年,奠定了靈真堂的 軸心基礎:主日學、少年團、婦女會、弟兄會、查經班、祈禱會和兩堂的主日崇拜。在神恩 保守下,信主人數年年加增。

Founded in 2015, Cats in Hope Charitable Foundation Limited began by taking care of local stray cats and later expanded its services to perform sterilization. The increasing number of homeless stray cats, exacerbated by government land resumptions displacing their habitats, has led to a rise in abuse and attacks. To address this urgent need, our dedicated volunteers established a shelter, providing a safe haven for these vulnerable animals while they await loving homes. With the growing demand for our rescue services, the financial burden of food and medical care has also increased. Community support is now more critical than ever to help us save more lives and improve stray cat welfare. To date, we have rescued over a thousand stray cats, and currently provide shelter for over a hundred. Beyond the challenges posed by land resumptions, Cats in Hope also addresses the consequences of human actions, such as abandonment, neglect, and the dumping of cats by breeding farms. Recognizing the need for greater public awareness regarding responsible pet ownership and the long-standing neglect of community stray animal issues, we actively promote responsible breeding practices. Through various activities, sharing sessions, and collaborations with diverse organizations, Cats in Hope strives to create a harmonious community where animals and humans can coexist peacefully. 浪貓薈於2015年成立，最初的宗旨是為了照護社區的流浪貓，其後擴展至貓隻絕育服務。然而，隨著時間過去，我們發現越來越多無助的流浪貓，虐貓和貓隻遭犬隻攻擊的事件也日益頻繁。有鑑於此，義工們建立了這個收容所，希望能為這些毛孩提供一個安全的庇護所。 隨著需要救援的流浪貓數量不斷增加，我們的糧食和醫療支出也面臨了沉重的負擔。因此，我們衷心期盼社會大眾能夠支持我們，共同籌集資源，以拯救更多生命。至今，我們已成功救援超過一千隻流浪貓，其中大多數都是因為政府收地而失去家園，目前有近百隻流浪貓安置在我們的收容所中。 除了因收地而需要救援的個案外，浪貓薈也處理許多零星的救助案例，這些案例大多源自於人為因素，例如棄養、照顧不善導致貓隻生病，甚至是繁殖場遺棄的貓隻。我們深切體認到大眾對於責任飼養的認知明顯不足，而社區流浪動物的問題也長期受到忽視。為了改善這種情況，我們積極推廣責任飼養的觀念，希望藉此提升飼主對待寵物的認知與態度。透過舉辦各式各樣的活動和分享會，並與不同的團體合作，浪貓薈致力於創造一個動物與人類能夠和諧共處的友善環境。
