Albert Hung of Trinity Church added to Symposium Workshop Leaders

 

Pastor Albert Hung will be a discussion panelist and workshop leader at Symposium V, held on October 5th at Evergreen Baptist Church, San Gabriel Valley. Our morning session, focused on money matters, features members of the business and finance world, discussing how to lead healthy financial lives while also living out our faith. Pastor Albert, as the “lay person” of this group, will add his “wealth” of personal wisdom and insights from his Lifestyles of the Rich and Faithful sermon series. Other workshop leaders are: Shana Won,Jeffery Wong and Sal Mendoza.

Workshop Description: Money. Every day, we have to make choices about how we get it, spend it, invest it, or share it. And yet, few people feel confident about how they’re handling their finances. The stress associated with money can take a toll on our minds, hearts, and bodies as well as wreak havoc in our relationships. Studies reveal that fighting over money is the leading cause of divorce.

• What can we do to make sure that we are in control of our finances rather than letting our finances control us?
• How can we ensure we have enough money to cover all our family’s needs, save for the future, and still give generously towards the causes we care about?

The Bible is packed with wise counsel about finances. This highly practical workshop will help you:

1. Understand what God says about money.
2. Give you concrete action steps so you can become a better steward of the resources God has entrusted to you.

Investment Manager, Jeffery Wong, to Present at Symposium

“The Finance Industry and the Kingdom: Points of Dissonance, Points of Resonance”

Jeffrey Wong has over 25 years of experience in finance, trading, and investment management. He will be sharing from the expertise and insight he has garnered over that time, including thoughts on the challenges of integrating work in the financial sector within a kingdom framework, and practical ways we can be good stewards of our finances.

Specific topics include dealing with the idols that arise from working in a money-focused industry, working in a profession that seems to benefit a more narrow scope of people (in contrast with fields such as medicine and education with a wider reach of society), whether serving the kingdom takes place through or apart from work, living simply, and implementing a sound savings/investment plan.

Shana Won, CFP, to Present at ISSAC’s 5th Symposium

Shana Won, Certified Financial Planner, has been in the business of helping her clients achieve their financial goals for over 20 years. At ISAAC’s 5th Symposium, Shana will be sharing her wisdom and practical tools during our “Healing of Finances” session.

Shana’s workshop will lead attendees through “Decoupling Emotional Ties to Your Money.” She’ll tackle the following questions:

• How often have you been angry over money?
• How often have you felt shamed by money?
• How often have you felt so happy over money?
• How often do you covet other’s good fortune?
• Have you ever been paralyzed by fear of not having enough money?

Looking at the ways “money” can elicit many emotions influenced by one’s culture and personal history of own experiences, Shana answers the question of, “how can we avoid having these emotions control your relationship to money?”

In her words, “the challenge we face is redirecting our relationship with money. We want to learn to decouple our emotional attachment to money as an end and learn to value money as a tool to achieve greater value. The art of shepherding our fortune is to create value so that we can be a good steward of our money and our lives.”

At Shana’s workshop, she’ll open her financial tool box and share methods to help manage money effectively and dispassionately. Specific techniques will be offered that can be applied to any financial situation to relieve daily pressures.
