为了提升醒觉及筹募7979服务基金,7979全人关怀救助网络在2013年开始主办一年一度的体验、醒觉与筹款活动 ——“7979救助挑战营”。这是一场没有冠军、非竞争性的团体户外挑战活动。它透过具体救助行动涵意的活动,例如骑单车、障碍克服、健行、爬山和夜探等,让参与者体会急难家庭的苦情,同时学习在团队精神下超越自我,挑战极限。 2020年,马来西亚因为新型冠状病毒(Covid-19)疫情的蔓延,全国封锁而无法像往常一样举办大型户外活动。7979便开始转换方式推出线上“7979救助挑战”。这是一项只需居家就能完成挑战的体验与醒觉活动,让挑战勇士居家接收和执行各项任务,以体验弱势家庭的生活状态;同时为着7979服务基金,用以救助弱势家庭。我们成功用这样的方式连办3年。 2020年10月25至31日举办第一届线上“7979救助挑战”,以“为大马弱势家庭挑战”为主题,号召了135支队伍,近270人参加。最终,共有128支队伍完成挑战,并且筹获RM 354, 257.60。 2021年9月16至30日再次举办了第二届,并以“绝境求生”为主题,号召了131支队伍(262人) 参加。这一届共有124支队伍完成挑战,最终筹获RM 521,456.92。 今年2022年9月9至16日,也继续举办第三届,并以“伴你迎晴天”为主题。今年共有57支队伍参与,最终筹获RM 402,302.08。 此外,今年的7979救助挑战营也获得新文记咖啡厂家和Cap Keluarga的赞助。 挑战勇士的体会
最后要感谢所有挑战勇士,无论是新的勇士,或是一直支持我们的勇士。因为有你们同心关注大马弱势家庭,透过参与3天贫苦体验和为7979服务基金筹募,让7979全人关怀救助网络可以透过“急难家庭救助”、“弱势儿童陪读”和“吗哪食物银行”,陪伴他们走出水深火热的生活困境,迎接微笑与幸福的晴天。 挑战营结束后,挑战勇士将挑战与体验点滴记录汇聚成文章,并把这些可贵又真诚的心得分享给大会。让我们跟随他们的心得,再次回到挑战当日…… 第一项三天活动挑战 两人十五令吉可以吃什么? 根据2019年国家统计局数据报告,大马贫穷家庭B40占大马人口39.8%,平均家庭收入少于RM 4,849。换言之,大马拥有2.1百万户低收入家庭。而在B40里,又分为贫穷家庭,共有405,441户家庭收入低于RM 2,208;另外则是极度贫穷家庭,共27,158户家庭收入不到RM 1,104。 根据贫穷家庭每月收入RM 2,208计算,每月花费在饮食总计需RM1,038,余下的花费在其它生活开销。我们的第一项三天活动挑战,也因此诞生了!
第二项三天活动挑战 制水了,怎么办? 对于弱势群体而言,他们不求有干净的水源,只求有水用就好!很多时候他们需要到不同的地方盛水,或是到杂货店购买干净的过滤水,再一桶一桶的将水提回家。对他们而言,这些水“滴滴皆辛苦”! 特别任务 扫一扫,清一清 和 没有网络的日子 除了这些挑战,挑战勇士还需要在挑战期间完成特别任务:“扫一扫,清一清”和“没有网络的日子”。“扫一扫,清一清”是让挑战勇士把家里不需要的物品整理出来,祝福身边需要的人,或是将其二手出售。目的是让挑战勇士发现“生活可以很简单”,很多我们觉得需要的东西,其实并不一定是必须品。“没有网络的日子”是让挑战勇士体验网速被限制的生活,而弱势贫穷家庭也经常经历着各种的限制。 CLICK HERE FOR ENGLISH VERSION
What driven you to study hard?
I don’t know. Why do you think that the teachers care for you?
I don’t know. What is the reason that you agreed to shoot this testimonial video? I don’t know. This boy who gave “I don’t know” as answer to all three questions is the main character for today!
Year 2022, this boy just entered into transition class of secondary school. He has a habit of replying “I don’t know” to any question posed to him, such a cute boy! If you want to get any answer from him, you have to be patient enough to engage conversation with him and guide him to think. In those early days of joining Gereja Ern Tian Batu Pahat Companionship Class, he was just standard 4. Being in a new environment and had to mingle with strangers, made him so afraid of being bullied until he refused to attend Companionship Class, hence the teachers had to purposefully fetched him to class. Then came MCO, his time in Companionship Class became on and off, however he turned out to enjoy Companionship Class so much that he insisted to attend Companionship Class even feeling uncomfortable after his COVID vaccination. However, one thing doesn’t change from the beginning until he graduated from primary school is his introvert quiet character, he doesn’t play with other children, he just quietly took his meals, washed his dishes, did his homework and revision.
Although he is well behaved, but he didn’t put enough effort in his studies. When he was standard 6, he always failed in his spelling test in addition to not able to recite multiplication table, the teachers felt so frustrated. One day, the teachers decided not to tolerate anymore, she spoke to the boy: “You are now standard 6, how can you still not familiar with the multiplication table, what are you thinking? You always said that you pray about it, but you didn’t put your effort into it after you prayed. God can only bless you when you work hard after you prayed.” This conversation seems to open up his mind, he suddenly realized that if he still doesn’t put in his effort, then he’ll be left behind when he enters his secondary school. Ever since, this boy who had been triggered to learn seems to transform into another person, he began to study hard. Within a week, he managed to recite multiplication table, and began to take his spelling seriously. Although, enter into secondary school all by himself was a new challenge to him, he had to go to a new school, with unfamiliar teachers, students and language environment. Again, he was afraid of being bullied, but this time he wished to change! Because this time he knew that he could learn, and he is no longer alone, because he has Companionship Class’s teachers to teach and guide him in his studies. For example, when he encountered difficulties setting up his online class facilities, he took the initiative to request assistance from Companionship Class’s teachers, and his online class went on smoothly. Miraculous First Encounter For this year, we wished to make a video of life story on this boy, the first thing came to my mind was “Will this super introvert quite boy agrees to let us shoot a life story video of him? Will him get so nervous in front of the camera until he can’t utter a word?” With these questions in mind, we embarked. It was our first encounter with this boy. During the conversation, the phrase “I don’t know” kept appearing, but that didn’t mean that he doesn’t know, he just need to be guided in his thinking, it could also be that he is not good in expressing his thought.
Nevertheless, he is not a reckless person, if he wanted to accomplish something, even when he couldn’t express himself with words, he would act it out, he takes his tasks seriously. During our video shooting, because he was very nervous, so he would repeatedly practice his dialogues, facial expressions, and he cooperated willingly when we need to retake the scene. During the shooting, we could see his subtle smile. The boy was presented with a badminton racket for the shooting of this video. This was preplanned before the shooting. As we did ask the boy what was his wish, he said he wanted a badminton racket, so that he can play with his father when his father returns from his outstation job. Epilogue: While we were shooting our video, Teacher Li Ling (Companionship Class’s Teacher) kept telling us that: “This boy’s school grades have improved tremendously, he is so well behaved, he would study on his own, he does the house chores, take cares of himself, occasionally he would teach his sister in doing her homework…” She was so relieved, comforted and proud as though is her son that is doing well. We hereby wish that this boy will continue to grow healthily, and may he comes to know what kind of person that he wishes to be!
老师:你为什么开始努力学习?
男孩:不知道。
老师:你为什么觉得老师在关心你?
男孩:不知道。
老师:你为什么会答应要拍摄这个见证?
男孩:不知道。 一问三不知的“不知道”男孩,就是我们今天的小主角! 2022年,男孩刚上中学,就读预备班。他有个口头禅,当有人问他问题,他会不假思索地张口就来一句 “不知道” ,甚是个可爱的小男孩。若你想知道答案,需要耐心引导他去思考,一来二去,他就会给出答案啦! 初到峇株巴辖恩典堂爱加倍陪读班时,男孩才上四年级。面对着陌生的环境和陌生的人,他害怕被别人欺负而不愿意来,还得劳动老师一次次去他家把他载来。后来遇上MCO,男孩在陪读班的日子断断续续,但他渐渐爱上陪读班,就连施打疫苗后身体不适也坚持要来。但男孩安静的性格自始至终,无论是刚来陪读班那会儿,又或是小学毕业即将离开时,他在陪读班里总是很安静,从不和其他同学打闹,安静地自己吃饭、洗碗、做功课,然后温习。 虽然男孩很乖,但在学业上并不上心。记得六年级时,他听写常常不及格,甚至连乘法表都不会背,这让老师束手无策。一天,老师终于不再忍耐,对男孩说:“你六年级了,乘法表还不会,你想怎样?你常说你有祷告,但祷告了你没有去努力学习!你祷告过后,也要自己努力,上帝才会祝福你的。”这番话仿佛让男孩茅塞顿开,惊觉自己再不努力学习,上了中学怎么办? 此后,激发求知欲的男孩就像是变了一个人,开始发奋图强。一个星期,他就把乘法表背熟,也开始认真学习听写。虽然升上中学对男孩是一项新挑战,他需要独自一人面对新的学校、不认识的老师同学,和难懂的语言环境,他担心自己会被别人欺负,但是他想要改变!他知道他可以学习,他也不再是一个人,因为有陪读班老师可以请教,也可以请陪读班老师帮忙。就像面对不熟悉的网课设置,他主动请陪读班老师帮忙后,男孩顺利地上了网课。 奇妙的初相遇 今年,7979想要将男孩的成长故事拍摄为影片,第一个想到的挑战就是“内向寡言的男孩会答应拍摄吗?他面对镜头时是否会紧张得说不出话?”带着这样的想法,我们出发了。这也是我们第一次正式接触男孩。交谈中,“不知道”的对话就出现了,一问三不知,不代表男孩真的什么都不会,他只是需要引导思考,也或许是不善于表达自己的想法。 但男孩也不是随便的人,想要完成的事情,虽然不善表达,但他会用行动去努力,做事认真。就好比在拍摄时,因为紧张,他会反复练习对白、表情,就算重拍多次也很愿意配合。在拍摄中,难得看到男孩低敛露出笑容。这次拍摄,男孩收到了一份礼物 —— 一把羽毛球拍,这是在出发拍摄前询问过男孩的愿望。他想要一把羽毛球拍,当在外地工作的爸爸回家时,可以和爸爸打羽毛球。 后记 利玲老师(陪读班老师)在拍摄时,不断地对我们说:“男孩现在的成绩真的进步了很多”,“男孩很乖,会自己学习、会自己做家务、照顾自己、偶尔还会教妹妹功课……”。她欣慰地像是自家孩子金榜题名,让她倍感骄傲。祝愿男孩继续茁壮成长,知道自己长大后想成为怎样的人! 7979新动态 1 第九届师资培训营 9月4日至6日,趁着学校假期,7979举办了第九届师资培训营“齐守童心”,这次师资培训营更是疫情后,首次聚集7979陪读班老师们的实体相聚。来自全马各地的30位陪读班老师齐聚一堂,彼此的关系也逐渐熟络。 本次主题为“齐守童心”,意希望能让老师们认识“儿童保护法令”,在各教会设立儿童保护政策。当老师们对保护儿童有了更深一层的认识,保护孩子就不再只是一个口号,而是能踏踏实实地在生活中实践出来。无论何时何地,让我们带主爱继续陪伴孩子前行! 7979新动态 2 志工之夜 身、心、灵健康的志工能为服务对象提供优质的服务。教会重视志工所付出的时间、金钱和才干。此外,大会也让各教会志工有机会和彼此交换服侍心得,以此互相加油打气。2022年10月1日晚间,关丹区教会联办一年一度的志工之夜。 当晚,来自六间教会的志工,即恩主中心、关丹基督教会、关丹基督教长老会达士宣道所、关丹长老会荣恩堂、关丹佳音浸信会中心、关丹基督教赞美教会和胜利教会,齐集关丹长老会荣恩堂共同数算恩典,感谢志工在急难家庭救助、弱势儿童陪读、吗哪食物银行、重大灾难回应和其他服侍的付出。 晚餐后,春凤执事代表大会欢迎嘉宾和会众的出席和作开始祷告,为志工之夜拉开序幕。少年人带领敬拜赞美时光,天国耆兵呈献旗舞和演奏乐器;全人关怀团队执行长黄恩德牧师以神的话语勉励大家。大会播放大家这三年服侍的照片和经历的视频。志工分别代表自己的教会,分享服侍心得。最后,在钟意红长老的公祷和郑百颂传道的祝祷下,志工之夜圆满结束。当大家领取了大会用心准备的小礼物后,享用茶点。 最后,谢谢少年人们不小看自己年轻,甘心侍奉。谢谢耆兵不畏年龄,勇于站出来服侍,继续为主大发热心,成为众人的榜样。 7979新动态 3 吗哪食物银行新集散点 继7月于雪隆北区和柔佛居銮开设新集散点后,如今吗哪食物银行继续开设新的集散点! 2022年11月5日,吗哪食物银行在新的集散点——马六甲发放吗哪食物包。这是首次发放,共有4间7979全人关怀站(教会)响应,发放27份吗哪食物包物资。当天有爱古城教牧团契的曾春水牧师、丘慧星牧师及王新兴牧师致辞及祝祷。 往后7979吗哪食物银行全马各地共11个集散点,每两个月就能看见教会志工爱走动的足迹,一同将物资与关怀,带到各个角落。 7979新动态 4 关丹长老会荣恩堂 陪读班十周年庆 关丹长老会荣恩堂的弱势家庭儿童陪读班今年满十岁了!这小小的里程碑让关丹长老会荣恩堂有机会接触和服务百多位学生和他们的家庭。如今,陪读班服务的对象延伸到中学陪读班。 2022年10月2日,除了现任的陪读班服侍团队、陪读班学生和家长,所有曾在陪读班待过的学生和已卸任的志工老师也受邀其中。大家透过播放的影片,回顾上帝的引导,细数恩典,所有欢笑和泪水历历在目。 养育孩子是全人类共同的责任,营运陪读班是全教会共同的事工。当天,由中学陪读班的少年带领敬拜,天国耆兵呈献扇舞,首首悦耳的诗歌和精彩的扇舞表演为周年庆拉开序幕。席间有7979主任郑百颂传道,以"炼蜜"为题勉励大家。当天的聚会,更有幸获得德伦敦区州议员沈春祥先生莅临,他感谢陪读班对社区带来正面的影响力。 接着,所有陪读班的孩子为来宾呈献大合唱。原住民作为关丹社区的一份子同样受惠于关丹长老会荣恩堂提供的陪读服务。原住民受惠儿童也献上一支富有特色的民族舞蹈。最后,由廖长老以致谢辞和祝福祷告为周年庆画上句号。期许陪读班的下个十年,更加美丽精彩。 7979新动态 5 7979重灾管理处展览 2022年10月15日,在风和日丽的周六早上,爱花城慈善嘉年华6.0“让花城不一样”兼爱花城赈灾及应急中心的开幕仪式顺利进行。 爱花城结合芙蓉众中文教会的力量及资源,数年来透过各种策略,向芙蓉市民发出基督的切实关爱。这次嘉年华由爱花城慈善嘉年华联盟主办,7979全人关怀救助网络受邀协办。民众可在现场透过28个展出的摊位,参与身体健康检查、赞美操、捐血运动,甚至有防火和急救知识等相关讲座。每个摊位的内容都十分精彩。7979重灾管理顾问——丘忠瑶弟兄带领赈灾的核心志工林秀銮姐妹和李涵弟兄,负责7979重灾管理的摊位。他们除了为有兴趣的民众分享防减灾知识,也派发各种宣导产品。 爱花城赈灾及应急中心将使社区更快、更有效地展开赈灾行动。期许未来,该中心与7979重灾管理处有更多防减灾活动的配搭,造福社区。 7979新动态 6 7979服务统计表 “请到水灾现场,看看水位有多深?”指挥员下达命令给前往勘察水灾情况的志工。 “报告,水位已经到了和我的膝盖一样高!”看着志工传来的照片,我愣了一下。这是多年前,一位缺乏经验的志工,因不晓得如何鉴定水有多深,于是自告奋勇地走向水中央,用自己的身体来测量水位。 又到年尾雨季的时候了!为避免重演以上的历史事件,我们准备了以下灾难救助志工的安全指导方针,出发前必读哦! 生理安全
心理安全
环境安全
志工必须晓得,每场灾难都是“独特”的,我们无法用同样的方式对待每一次灾难和受灾户。以上的安全指南仅用于一般救灾情况,但仍需保持开放及弹性地应用以上安全指导方针。 切记!千万不要走到积水区! 因为水灾的水十分肮脏,可能碰触藏在水里的许多动物粪便的微生物,或者看不见的危险物品等等。 系好您的安全带,准备出发咯! 以文字一起经历他们从师生赈灾活动到有纪律,有组织地服务于山区草根。一路走来,与所有助人者一样,他们产生很多的困惑和反思,同时也收获很多甜蜜的喜悦、成长的幸福。盼读者透过这些文章故事不但学习了灾难社会工作同时也更多地反思和谦卑自己。

COVID-19 has affected the world for more than three years, infecting more than 600 million people and claiming 6.6 million lives. The year 2022 was a busy one, it packed with all signs Jesus' prophesied on Endtimes in Chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew, the signs had appeared one by one. Wars, riots, earthquakes, pestilence, crime, indifference, false prophets and doctrine, none of them were absent. Coupled with global inflation and economic depression, the originally wealthy financial resources have been greatly reduced, the wailing of suffering grassroots has escalated, the poor have no tomorrow!
HISTEAM held "2022 Asian Chinese Christian Holistic Care Conference – The Greatest Opportunity" over three weekends in October, and constantly we could hear from the workshops’ speakers from Hong Kong and Taiwan’s co-organizers, of the challenges that Asia is facing in post-COVID-19 era. Doulos, Hong Kong in collaboration with local universities conducted a survey on the negative impact of COVID-19 in nine Asian regions, and the results showed that Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia ranked first, third and fourth. This means that people with moderate or even severe depression and anxiety due to the pandemic are the ready harvest field who are suffering from mental distress and in need of assistance. On the economic front, Malaysia has been the hardest hit, ranking first in Asia. The ageing population has led to an increasing number of stay alone elderlies, chronic illnesses elderlies who requires long-term medical care, and dementia elderlies who have been displaced. Authoritarian ruling, economic and political instability in several Asian countries have led to mass emigration. These scattered stateless groups are most often victims of oppression and exploitation in foreign cultures and countries where they are not welcome. When Malaysia opened its borders in April, many people fasten the pace of their lives hoping to recover the opportunities they lost during the pandemic, but they ended up in disconcerted state. Many businesses, including many churches, over reacted by holding various gatherings and banquets, making extensive travel plans and church building projects. As a result, the old wineskins problems before the pandemic also returned to the nest in retaliation. In fact, the painful lesson our Heavenly Father hopes to teach us the children of God during the pandemic, we should not forget the learnt lessons when the pandemic is over. Now enter into the epidemic stage, the Holy Spirit wants the church to put on new wineskins and pour out new wine, which we should not miss in our disconcerted state. The opportunity Jesus wants Christians to seize and minister in the Endtimes is right now! The church and the children of God have the eternal assurance of salvation, the unchanging truth of the Bible, the hope of the resurrection of our Savior, the support of the power of the Holy Spirit, and the guidance of the rod of the Father. We are bestowed with the privileges that no one else has, in order for us to reach out to the suffering communities and desperate neighbors. As we come to an era where good and bad times alternate frantically, it is also a rare opportunity for Christians to rise up and respond to the call of harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. In this epidemic, would you like to respond to the cries of workers in the field? God is calling for warriors of caring mission to seize the greatest opportunity! 新冠肺炎影响了全球三年有多,感染超过六亿人口,夺走六百六十万条人命。2022年好不热闹,《马太福音》第24章提及耶稣预测的末世征兆,逐一登场。战争、暴乱、地震、瘟疫、罪案、冷漠、假冒先知与道理,没有一个缺席。加上全球通膨与经济萧条,导致原本富有的财力大减,基层的人叫苦连天,贫穷的没有明天! 全人关怀团队用十月三个周末举办“2022亚洲华人基督徒全人关怀研讨会--最大的契机”,陆续从香港、台湾联办单位的工作坊听到亚洲各地面临疫情后的挑战。香港忠仆与当地大学合作,调查9个亚洲区域因疫情带来的负面影响,结果显示:台湾、香港及大马在亞洲的排名分别是第一、第三及第四。这意味着因疫情导致中度,甚至重度忧郁及焦虑的群体,是心灵受困和有待援助的广大禾场。在经济方面,马來西亚受到打击最为严重,在亚洲排第一位。人口老化导致独自居家的长者,需要长期医疗服务的慢性年长病患,以及流离失所的失智乐龄人士日益增多。好些亚洲国家因集权统治、经济及政治不稳定导致大量人口往外迁移。这些散居各处的无国籍群体,在异文化及不欢迎他们的国度里最常沦落为受欺压、被剥削的对象。 今年四月,大马开放边界后,许多人想找回在疫情期间失去的机会,而加快忙碌的脚步,结果让自己更仓皇失措。很多企业商家,包括不少教会机构,报复性举办各样聚会和聚餐、报复性的旅游及建堂消费。结果,疫情前的旧皮袋老毛病也报复性的回巢。其实,天父希望透过疫情教训神儿女的惨痛功课;神儿女不应在疫情后把该学的功课抛诸于脑后。圣灵在疫情后,要教会更换新皮袋,且要浇灌的新酒,不应在慌乱中与其失之交臂。耶稣要基督徒在末世抓住的服事契机就在当下!教会与神儿女坐拥救恩永恒的确据,圣经不变真理,救主复活的盼望,圣灵大能的加持,天父杖杆的引领。我们具备别人没有的条件走向苦难的群体、绝望的邻舍来回应疫情后的挑战。面对大好大坏的时代,也是基督徒挺身回应庄稼多工人稀少难得的时机。请问你愿意回应疫情后工人亟需的禾场呼声吗?神正呼召关怀宣教的勇士,抓住疫情后展现的最大契机! |
