一份让人成长的爱
急难故事 · 文/蔡欣仪

“当赞美的旋律响起，我的心全然向祢……”
赞美诗歌旋律再次响起，环绕在伟叔（化名）家中。这是每个星期天，教会崇拜过后，志工们都会到伟叔家中进行的“例常”活动。大家一起唱诗歌、为着伟叔一家祷告，彼此关心联系。
 
伟叔是第二次申请急难救助金。第一次是在2年前，因为疫情导致收入骤减。这次，伟叔失业，主动找上门来求助关丹长老会荣恩堂7979全人关怀站，希望能再次申请急难救助金。
伙食费、妻子因常年洗肾的医药费，加上孩子的教育费，伟叔一日打两份工作还勉强能应付。现在失业，更加难以支撑。束手无策的伟叔再次找上7979全人关怀站。
志工不仅帮他申请急难救助金，也帮他找工作，好让伟叔一家能继续维持生活开销。不仅如此，志工还把伟叔的孩子接到陪读班来，省去补习费的同时，也让孩子能好好学习。志工在得知伟叔家的电费拖欠了将近3年，更是为此筹募，将一半的费用还清。
 
这是伟叔一家第二次接触教会，志工们的关心和帮助，让他们愿意相信耶稣的爱，决志信主。孩子会出席教会主日学，但因为伟叔需要工作，加上太太生病不方便外出，星期天他们总不能来到教会参加崇拜。志工们就每个星期天来到伟叔家，和他们一起唱诗歌、祷告和分享。
这样多走一里路地去关心有需要的人，让志工们更快地成长。学习到不仅只是把有需要的人带往教会，更多时候是需要志工们踏出门，到有需要的人当中去关心他们，不论是身外之物，又或是心灵上的需要。

A Love that Let Us Grow
A Story of Crisis Intervention · Written by CSG

“When the melody of praise rings, my heart is all for you ….”
The tune of praise and worship rose once again surrounding Uncle Wei’s house. This is a regular activity for all the volunteers on every Sunday after service, when they gather in Uncle Wei’s house. They sing praise song together and pray for Uncle Wei’s family while they connect and care for each other.
 
This is Uncle Wei’s second application for emergency aid fund. Their first application was 2 years ago when his income suddenly dropped due to pandemic. This time, he lost his job and he contacted 7979 Holistic Care Station at Gereja Presbyterian Glorious Grace for help, hoping to apply for aid again.
 
Although, Uncle Wei doing two jobs in a day, it is just barely sufficient to cover, food expenses, medical expenses for wife’s dialysis treatment and education fees for the children. Situation became worse after he lost his jobs. Feeling helpless, Uncle Wei sought 7979 Holistic Care Station for assistance again.
 
The volunteer assisted him to look for job in addition to the application for emergency fund.  This is to ensure they can continue to sustain their daily expenses. Also fetch his children to the companionship class to save on tuition fees a better learning environment too. When the volunteer came to know that Uncle Wei’s family has about 3 years’ outstanding electricity bill, they raised fund to settle half of the debts.
 
This is the second time this family come in touch with church. The care and help of volunteers make them believe the love of Jesus, and finally accepted Jesus as their savior. His children attend Sunday School, but because Uncle Wei needs to work and it is inconvenient for his wife to leave home, hence, they are not able to attend Sunday Service. So, every Sunday the volunteers will pay a visit to worship, pray and share with them the Words of God.
 
Going the extra mile to care for those in need in this way allows the volunteers to grow faster. They learn that it is not only to bring people in need to church, but more so for volunteers to step out to care for people in need, whether it is their possessions or spiritual needs.
