The HISTEAM 7979 Holistic Care Station of Kepong Abundant Grace Assembly of God and  Taman Pusat Kepong both have a history of more than 30 years. Over the years, the Church has made a contribution to the community by organizing various public welfare activities to serve local residents. The church also conducts free blood tests, provides residents with free services, and teaches them to value good health.

Sister Jing (pseudonym) and her husband, Brother Cheng, are old and live in an old flat opposite the church. The children live outside, and one son moved to a nearby residence after marriage. Daily expenses, mainly rely on Brother Cheng scavenging and selling to make a living. Every morning he goes out to scavenge and returns at 5:00 in the afternoon; The money earned from scavenging is mainly paid for the monthly housing maintenance fees and utilities, and after deducting these expenses, the couple have to scrimp and save. Sister Jing goes out to pack food every day, their children occasionally take them out for meals. She tried to apply to the government for assistance benefits, but was not approved. Such a day is not easy, plus children are rarely by her side, Sister Jing is still strong enough to survive.

​

One day in June, we sat at Sister Jing’s home and interviewed her. Sister Jing got up, went to the room, took out the "7979 Manna food bank" case receipt slips which tied tightly with rubber bands, and then spread out these receipt slips and showed them to us. Our co-worker, Mrs. Liu Yaling and we were surprised and moved. We did not expect that she treasured every case receipt slip from the Manna Food Bank and thanked the church for sending her a Manna food packet every two months! Sister Jing expressed to me the joy of her collection of receipt slips. These receipt slips contain a lot of warmth, which warms my heart. It turned out that she cherished every contribution the church gave to her.

​

In fact, Sister Jing has been in contact with the Care Station for a long time, and she also knows that the church held free blood tests. But as she is old, and it is difficult for her to go up and down the stairs, she is absent from the blood test. Volunteers are always concerned about her recent situation. In 2022, the church applied for 7979 Manna Food packets for nearby vulnerable families, and Sister Jing was one of the beneficiaries. The Manna Food packets prepared by 7979 consider Sister Jing's physical needs, and prepare food and other daily necessities that are beneficial to her health, in order for  Sister Jing and Brother Cheng to get adequate and nutritious food.

​This year, the church began to provide home service for cases with mobility problems, and the first service target was Sister Jing. The church arranged for a team of four people to come to the house and, in addition to handing out food packets, also measured Sister Jing's weight, blood pressure and blood sugar. After that, the volunteers count the contents of the food packets: daily supplies and food, to ensure that the complete items are provided, and explain the contents and uses of the food packets to Sister Jing, for example, teach her to use shampoo.

​Since Sister Jing got the 7979 Manna Food packets, she is willing to go to the church. Every Sunday she attends church and the church gives her a special place according to her needs. On June 18, the church held a free blood test, and she came. A Manna Food packet and a small act of volunteer door-to-door service made Sister Jing willing to change herself and go out of the house. She deeply felt the dedication and love of the volunteers, so here she comes.

甲洞神召会颂恩堂7979全人关怀站与甲洞中央花园皆有超过三十年的历史。多年来，教会透过举办各种公益活动服务当地居民，为社区贡献一份力。教会也举办免费血液检查，让居民享有免费的服务，并教导他们看重身体健康。

静姐（化名）与丈夫成哥年事已高，住在教会对面一栋陈旧的组屋里。儿女在外居住，一名儿子婚后搬到附近的住所。平日的开销，主要靠成哥拾荒变卖维持生计。他每天早上出去拾荒，下午五点回来；拾荒所赚取的费用主要缴付每个月的房屋管理费和水电费，扣除这些费用后两夫妻只能省吃节用。静姐每日外出打包食物，其儿女偶尔携带他们外出用餐。她曾尝试向政府申请援助福利金，但没获得批准。这样的日子不易，加上儿女鲜少伴在身边，静姐仍坚强度日。

​

六月某日，我们在静姐的家，坐着采访她。只见静姐起身，走到房间，拿出一张张用橡皮筋捆紧的“7979吗哪食物银行”个案签收单，然后摊开这些签收单，展示给我们看。同工刘雅玲师母和我们为之惊讶和感动，没想到她珍藏每一张吗哪食物银行的个案签收单，也感谢教会每两个月一次送给她的吗哪食物包！静姐向我表达她珍藏张张签收单的喜悦，这些签收单包含浓浓的温情，好暖我心。原来她珍惜教会每次对她的付出。

其实，静姐和关怀站早有来往，也知道教会举办免费验血活动。她年长，上下楼梯对她而言是难事，因此缺席验血活动；志工时时关心她的近况。2022年，教会为临近的弱势家庭申请7979吗哪食物包，静姐是受惠者之一。7979准备的吗哪食物包考量静姐的身体需求，准备有益于她身体健康的食物和其他日常用品。让静姐和成哥能获取充足和营养的食物。

今年，教会开始为行动不便的个案提供上门服务，第一位服务的对象是静姐。教会安排一组四人的队伍上门，除了派发食物包，也为静姐量体重、血压和血糖。尔后，志工点算食物包内容：日常用品和食物，确保提供完整的物品，并向静姐解释食物包内容和用处，例如：教她使用洗发液。

自从静姐获得7979吗哪食物包，她愿意到教会。每个星期日，她都出席教会的聚会；教会依据她的需要，给她留了特别的位置。6月18日，教会举办免费血液检查，她也来了。一份吗哪食物包和志工上门服务小小的举动，让静姐愿意改变自己，走出家门。她深深感受志工的用心付出和关爱，因此她来了。
