一线曙光
吗哪手记 · 文/Ashton

每两个月，平安浸信会7979全人关怀站的志工亲自把吗哪包送到小慧的家中，减轻他们一家人的负担。小慧一家因为丈夫在2021年出差公干期间，突然晕倒去世。自始，这个家庭失去家庭里唯一的经济来源。由于小慧需要照顾三位还在就学的孩子与年迈的家婆，以至无法外出工作，她们只能依靠社会保险和之前储蓄的钱生活，背负庞大的经济压力。
 
一位教会姐妹是小慧丈夫的同事，她把小慧的情况告知教会。志工开始探访小慧一家，并且服务他们。每次志工和小慧约定时间后，小慧都会告诉她的小儿子，小儿子很期待志工的到来。志工不仅每两个月亲自将食物包送到这家庭，平时也会以信息关心小慧一家，了解她的需要。
 
每次志工赠送吗哪包时，小儿子兴高采烈地跑出来迎接他们。他总是围绕在志工身边，很开心地看着志工点算吗哪物资。志工们也很喜欢这个可爱的孩子，常常与他互动。教会的服务成为这个家庭的一部分。教会的服务让这个家庭对生活看到一线曙光，知道在这个艰难的时期，他们并不孤单。志工送上的吗哪包不仅给这个家庭带来了实际的帮助，也让他们感到社区的关心和爱。

A Ray of Hope
Written by Ashton

Every two months, volunteers from Shalom Baptist Church 7979 Holistic Care Station would personally deliver Manna Bag to Xiao Hui at her house, helping to ease their family’s burden. In 2021, her husband suddenly fainted and passed away during a business trip, since then, the family lost their only financial source. With three school going children and an aging mother-in-law to take care, she was unable to go out to work. They could only rely on SOCSO and her savings for living, the financial burden is very huge. 
 
One of her husband’s colleagues who is the church’s member, told the church about Xiao Hui’s situation. The volunteers began to visit and ministered to this family. Whenever the volunteer set an appointment with Xiao Hui, she would inform her youngest son, because he always looks forward to their visitation. The volunteers did not only deliver Manna Bag personally every two months, they would also send messages to Xiao Hui regularly, showing care and concern to the family and to understand their needs.
 
Each time, when the volunteer delivered the Manna Bag, the little boy would run out to the gate and welcomed them happily. He would circle around the volunteers and watched them as they tallied the supplies. The volunteers also love this little boy and always interact with him. The church's caring service became an important part of this family, it gave the family a ray of hope, knowing that they were not alone in this difficult time. The Manna Bag delivered not only met the need of the family, but also enabled them to feel the tangible care and concerns from the community.
