江育文牧師五十多年來以身為紐約人而自豪。自小學、中學、高中直至大學，他的生活始終與紐約市緊密相連。

江牧師於1986年畢業於紐約大學，獲金融與管理雙學位，並投身於競爭激烈的金融界。在企業界度過了充實的五年後，他一生唯一一次離開摯愛的紐約，前往馬薩諸塞州的戈登-康威爾神學院深造。

由於對故鄉的思念，首次事奉便蒙神奇妙呼召回到紐約中宣會－擔任英語助理牧師七年（1993-2000）。

2001年，他加入 Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination，先後擔任英語事工主領牧師和主任牧師。在他的帶領下，英語事工從最初的不到20人發展到新冠疫情前的400人。他於2021年8月結束了在那裡的任期。

經過一段時間的休息和調整後，神藉著師母，讓他離開了舒適的沙發，回到了他信仰的起點——中宣會，2023年6月，他如歸故里般重返母會，擔任英語主領牧師。

他和家人在曼哈頓生活了二十多年，至今仍將住在那裡。

The Rev. Ben Kong has been a proud New Yorker for five plus decades. From elementary to middle school, high school to college, his life has been embedded in New York City.

Ben graduated from New York University (1986) with a double major in finance and management and entered the wild world of finance. After five fulfilling years in the corporate world, he left his beloved N.Y. for the only time in his life to matriculate at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts.

Missing his hometown profusely, his first ministry was a miraculous calling to return to his home church [Oversea Chinese Mission, NY] where he served as associate English pastor for seven years (1993-2000).

Ben joined the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination in 2001, serving as English ministry lead pastor and then senior pastor of Queens Herald Church, C&MA. He grew the English ministry from less than 20 people upon arrival to its height of 400 pre-covid. He concluded his tenure at Queens Herald Church in August 2021.

After taking personal time for rest and renewal, God used his wife to kick Ben off the comfort of the couch and returned him to where it all began, coming full circle back to his home church in June 2023 as the English Ministry lead pastor.

He and his family currently reside in Manhattan for the past two decades and counting.
