After we studied Isaiah 58, Word-to-World Fellowship (WWF),
a Bible Study group initiated by staff worker and students, went to visits The Home of Love at
Jalan Emerald off Green Road Kuching, a nursing home and care centre, on 6th
October 2014. We have a single objective that is, “to reach out the community around
us as we want to put God’s Word in Isaiah 58 into practice”. There were
15 of us. Each one have our own duties and responsibilities. We had a great
time fellowship with the residents there. It was heart-touching moments. We definitely
value our presence with one another and with the residents of the Home. We hope they also feel the same. I
observe God’s love in actions; students took initiative to start conversations
with the elders, asking questions to volunteer-staffs there, cleaning toilets, washing
and wiping kitchen tools, mopping the floors, fixed kitchen cabinet, taking elders for a walk, spoon-fed
them, jamming and singing joyfully, make jokes, and even pray together (some plucked out grass outside with bare hands! Can you imagine that?!).
I remember one time when a
granny there asked me, “How long will you
all be here?” I replied, “From now
(10am) until 2pm.” She was not so happy and simply said, “That’s very long...” But just when we were
about to go back home, she grappled my hand and said, “Why going back so soon?” I miss her already. We all do miss them
very much.
Here are some pictures of
the WWF activities (We wrestled very hard!). By the way, we not taking many pictures.
[There will be more Bible
Study and outreach activities in the future. I’ll keep you updates through this
blog]
Sorry Nazri, you was not in the picture. Thanks for taking pictures bro. |
