“受了你们的馈送，当作极美的香气，为上帝所悦纳所喜悦的祭物。”（腓立比书4：18）“ …. The gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.”

(Philipians 4: 18)

洁白新颖的墙壁，透光明亮的玻璃窗，温软的地毯，四周

飘悬着各种彩色的萤光汽球，在角落的长桌子上还有各式各样的软糖、巧克力糖、棒棒糖、爆米花及棉花糖等等，这么棒又引诱人的空间，这里是小孩子的乐园。

这是汇丰银行（HSBC）为数间儿童院的小孩们举办的“派对” ，就设立在银行总部的阁楼。被邀请的孩子们皆兴高采烈，因为他们可以任吃这么多的糖果，又可参与各种丰富的节目，很快就融入了这片儿童乐园。

在卡片上粘贴小豆豆、串珠子的游戏，孩子们要眼明心细，相当考功夫！最受小朋友们喜爱的，应该是为模型鱼上色，七彩缤纷的颜料摆在桌上任由他们天马行空的发挥，天真的小孩把鱼儿涂上各种颜色，非常逗趣！

工作人员派送扭曲成各种形状的汽球给小孩，之后大家围围坐听故事，再去享用当局为小朋友们准备的午餐。

餐后，还有很多精彩的节目哦：观赏小朋友表演，在手上绘彩纹，一起吹蛋糕蜡烛、吃蛋糕，最后大家还获赠一份礼物，尽兴度过了难忘的一天。

The HSBC headquater’s penthouse became a playground for children.

Within the clean white walls that are intercepted with shiny transparent window panes and floored with soft carpets, coloured balloons floated around. Children sat around tables with their minders, trying their hands on art-and-craft. At the New Year party that HSBC hosted for various children homes, there were fun-filled programs as well as sweets and candies to cajole the young.

Among the programs, the game of ‘sticking beans and small pearls onto cards’ required the child’s attention and concentration. The most cherished project would probably be colouring clay fishes. There were palettes with sorts of colours on the table to encourage the flow of creativity. Staff members bent different shapes of balloons and gave them to the children. The story-telling session was followed by a buffet lunch.

After lunch, there were children performances, hand painting as well

as the blowing off candles on a birthday cake for children who were celebrating their birthdays during that time. Lastly everyone received an angpow before saying goodbye.

TEACHING others to fish instead of fishing for them is about facilitating personal progress and empowerment through skills training. As the young embark on the journey of acquiring skills, it may set them thinking on what they would like to do in life and what to make of their future.House of Bread is a bakery school that offers baking classes at reasonable rates for youths, which is complemented with a training programme to endow them with skills for working life. For some, coming to classes means having a chance to re-evaluate their values in life and adopting new paradigms. The students need to adapt to the regimen and industry required in the programme, which includes instructions on Moral Education and English. Other than hands-on baking, cleaning up and maintenance aspects, the theory and concept of hygiene, kitchen management and quality control of food are taught.Mothers who have teenagers with learning difficulties have also sent them for training and were delighted to taste the food that their children had prepared. Some of these special teens agreed that the programme had helped them to be more focused and disciplined.Other than special training for youths, House of Bread also offers baking classes to the general public. Those who would like to experience working in a well-equipped kitchen under a professional trainer can sign up for the monthly Creative Baking Classes which are conducted on Saturday mornings at its kitchen in Taman Yarl, Puchong.For enquiries, call 016-317 8778/ 03-7781 5977 (Ms Koh) or visit www.rumahcharis.org.my.

Celebration of Occasion

今年20岁的陈伟林，长得高大健壮，品格善良；想当年他住进恩惠之家儿童院时才7岁，个子瘦瘦小小的，但现在他已经成长为青年了，而且是恩惠之家的好帮手。

他15岁辍学后就在老人院帮忙，之后去槟城爱老院当同工服侍老人家，在那儿的教会聚会，于关怀及栽培下，思想也变得成熟，灵命增长很快。

他在今年调回来吉隆坡恩惠老人院工作，看到他的成长令人欣慰。他现在可以帮忙办公室接听电话，每天派药给公公婆婆，带老人去看医生，去政府医院为老人拿药，整理储藏库，教导长者和儿童圣经，帮行动不便的公公冲凉等。他说，很感谢上帝给他这么多机会学习，感恩上帝给他服务的恩赐！

伟林现在的希望是很想学驾车，他说学会驾车可以服务神、服务人，他说，他所做的是为荣耀神的名。在此，我也希望有心人助他早日完成这个心愿。

“在圣经歌罗西书3章23节里告诉我们，在世上的服务，不是为自己，不是为世上的人，而是为上帝从心里做。”伟林说：“我们有两个头，在地上的是暂时的，在天上的是永远的，名叫耶稣。”

感谢神，将伟林塑造成一个宝贵的器皿。

Tan Wie Llim is a strong and healthy young man in of twenty. When he entered Rumah Charis at the young age of 7, he was small and skinny. Now he is a young adult who helps out at the old folks home.After dropping out of school at the age of 15, he started helping at the home for the aged in Kuala Lumpur. Later he was transferred to Penang as a volunteer worker at the Relau Rumah Charis Old Folk’s Home. It was maturing time for him. He proved to be helpful in many ways when he returned to work at Rumah Charis Kuala Lumpur this year. He is able to listen to phone calls, helps to dispense daily medicine to the elderly, accompany them to clinic for checkups as well as collect medication for them at government hospitals. Other than this he helps to organize the store rooms, share Bible devotions to young and old. He also cares for those who are physically disabled due to illness. He is very thankful to the Lord for giving him the opportunity to learn and serve.Wie Llim’s wants to learn how to drive a car. He said that being able to drive will help him serve God and others better. Everything he does, he does it for the glory of His name. Hopefully someone can help him to fulfill that ambition.“Colossians 3:23 (Chapter 3 verse 23) tells us : whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Wie Llim says: “We have two Heads, the one on earth is temporary, the One in heaven is eternal and His name is Jesus.”Praise the Lord for molding Wie Llim into a precious tool to serve those in need.

几天后，还是一样的情况，她感到困扰，就在心里祷告求主耶稣医治，祷告完后不久，她就发现那个肉粒缩进去不见了，她高兴极了，一见到我就与我分享。感谢主，有怜悯慈爱的心。

My name is Liyan, I work at the Rumah Charis Children Home. I thank Rev Teo and Suzanne for giving me the opportunity to attend Care-givers Retreat 2012 organized by HISTEAM, co-organized by Malaysian Care. The theme of the camp is “In Quietness and Rest Is Your Strength”. There were around 75 participants for the retreat. We are thankful to those who have sponsored the 4-night 3-day camp. It was an enjoyable time for us.The first day we were encouraged to practise reading and meditation. The second day focused on serving with preparation and having a humble and gentle spirit. The third day sharing was on “Letting Go”. We were greatly blessed by the sessions. Other than attending talks, there were worship, small group sharing and testimonies. It was a great time for social workers to get to know each other.

The guests were entertained to songs and performances as they enjoyed a nine-course Chinese dinner. Some won gifts at the lucky draw. The evening ended on a high note with YB Teresa Kok’s rousing speech on social concern.
