Dear Supporters and Sponsors of HK-IMT,

The Hong Kong Institute for Marketplace Transformation (HK-IMT) is now in its fifth year of operation. A decade ago, at the IMT Global inception conference held on Jeju Island, I, HK-IMT’s Founder and Coordinator, Jimmy Pak, made a decision to bring Professor Stevens’ Marketplace Theology to Chinese and Chinese-speaking Christian communities in a more impactful way. Over the past four years, HK-IMT has dedicated its efforts to building and solidifying a strong foundation to advance this mission. 

Inception and Commission of HK-IMT

HK-IMT Limited was incorporated in September 2020.

HK-IMT Limited’s Charity Status was approved in September 2021 (effective from May 2021).

HK-IMT aims at transforming Workers, Work & Workplaces with shared values of Integrating, Meaning, and Thriving. 

Three Essential Pillars

There are three essential pillars to how HK-IMT develops and fulfills this mission.

First is to have Faithful, Available, Teachable and Entrepreneurial (FATE) people.

HK-IMT Fellows 2021-2024

HK-IMT conducted four Fellows Programs between 2021 and 2024, engaging a total of 38 Fellows, William Chan and I. Among these participants, 15 were senior, youth, or teaching pastors from various churches. For further details, please see below:

2024-2025/6 Fellows Plan 

One of the current cohorts, HK-4, is a Mandarin-speaking group that has already begun with five members. In April, two additional cohorts will launch—one for Cantonese-speaking pastors and another for Cantonese-speaking leaders. Additionally, Fellows Alumni, comprising 13 pastors and 16 leaders, will gather monthly to continue fellowship and collaborative learning.

Over the years, HK-IMT has cultivated strong relationships with five professional and industry fellowships. We aim to form three new cohorts with approximately 24 members from these networks. Within the church network, we plan to establish four cohorts, whose members will become prospective IMT Fellows in the coming years.

Funding and Succession 

Annual Budget 

• HK$1 Million annually (raised HK$620,000 as of March 2025)
• About HK$500000 is pledged annually for the next two to three years. 

Succession Team

A volunteer core team is being assembled to guide marketplace leaders, mentors, and pastors. Currently, one volunteer has taken responsibility for the marketplace pastors’ track. The aim is to fully establish this volunteer core team by 2025.

I am 65 years old now. Efforts are underway to identify a successor, with the goal of appointing another part-time coordinator to work alongside with me by 2027. By 2028, the new coordinator is expected to transition into a full-time role, and I will be providing support and guidance during the transition.
