Church Without Walls

在+Able，我们的目标是通过对身体残疾人士的关怀和支持来帮助他们。我们通过交朋友，以及在求职、学习和实际帮助等方面鼓励和支持他们。我们想要改变残疾人士和他们家庭的生活，并向他们展示基督的爱。

At +Able, we aim to add the plus factor through care and support to persons with physical disabilities. This is done through befriending, as well as encouraging and supporting them in areas like job search, studies and practical help. We want to make a difference in the lives of persons with physical disabilities and their families and show the love of Christ to them.

根据新加坡的数据显示，每一天大概有39人罹患癌症，而每四人中就有一人可能在一生中患上癌症。值得庆幸的是，因为治疗与筛查的进步，这有助于人们提前发现，并及时进行治疗，借此降低了癌症死亡率。然而，病患与其家人所面对的压力与焦虑有时候可能难以负荷；有许多人在情绪、心理与经济上面临很大的挣扎。我们的癌症关怀小组希望能在这艰难的过程中陪伴这些癌症病患与其看护人，并为那些无法支付医药费用，或可能失去收入的提供实际与经济上的帮助。

The stress and anxiety for cancer patients and their families can be overwhelming as many struggle to cope emotionally, mentally and financially. Our Cancer Care Group hopes to journey with cancer patients and their caregivers; to offer practical and financial help to cancer patients who struggle with the cost of medical treatments and possibly, the loss of income.

To care for the needs of babies and children. We hope to show love to these young babies and children who are unable to go home or school.

照顾婴儿和孩子的需要。我们希望向这些无法回家或上学的年幼孩童展现爱。

我们想支持有需要的家庭，如单亲家庭和年长人士，为他们提供实际帮助，如更换灯泡、组装家具和进行简单的家居维修。有些家庭可能没有能力独立完成这些任务，因此我们的帮助可以确保他们的家保持安全、实用和舒适。

We aim to support families in-need, such as, single-parent households and elderlies, by offering practical assistance such as changing light bulbs, assembling furniture, and performing simple home repairs. Some families may not have the means to handle these tasks on their own, so our help ensures their homes remain safe, functional, and comfortable.

Every child deserves a loving home. A foster home offers vulnerable children the opportunity to grow up in a healthy family environment. Foster care is not adoption, rather, it is a temporary arrangement to meet the emergency care and needs of a child. Our hope is that through foster families in CHC, vulnerable children will benefit from a safe, stable and nurturing Christian home environment, and eventually be able to grow up in their forever home to fulfil their God-given potential.

每个孩子都应该有一个充满爱的家。寄养家庭为弱势儿童提供了在健康的家庭环境中成长的机会。寄养不是领养，而是一种临时安排，以应对儿童的紧急照顾和需要。我们希望透过CHC的寄养家庭，弱势儿童能在一个安全、稳定和培育性的基督徒家庭环境中受益，并最终能够在他们永远的家中成长，发挥上帝赋予他们的潜能。

家应该是让人感觉舒适和安全的地方。然而，有许多低收入或单亲家庭却无法拥有有利于休息或孩子读书的家居环境。有些时候，适当的家具就能带来极大的改变。处在积极的环境里可以让人对生活有美好的展望。我们想要透过城市展望（City Outlook）为有需要的家庭制造温馨、舒适且实用的住家环境。

A home is where one should feel comfortable and secure. However, many low income and single parent families struggle to have a conducive home environment to rest and for the children to study. Sometimes, all it takes is having the proper furniture to make all the difference. Being in a positive environment can lead to having a positive outlook in life. Through CityOutlook, we hope to create a warm and welcoming, yet functionable home environment for needy families.

年长人士的外展旨在将基督之爱的现实带入社会老年人的生活中。我们接触的许多人难以照顾自己的基本需要，更不用说去复诊看病。透过真诚和持续的关怀，再加上实际的援助，我们的事工帮助和影响了许多年长人士的生命，并让他们知道上帝没有撇下或离弃他们。

The outreach to the elderly aims to bring the reality of Christ’s love into the lives of the seniors of society. Many of those we reach out to are barely able to care for their own basic needs, let alone go for their medical appointments. Through genuine and consistent care, coupled with practical aid, our ministry has helped and impacted the lives of many elderly, letting them know that God has not abandoned nor forsaken them.

家庭探访是我们接触儿童的关键外展活动之一，因为它让我们可以辨认需求，并了解孩子们的家庭背景。透过经济援助、补习课程和其他有趣的活动，我们以实际、有效的服事来接触孩子。在儿童崇拜里，孩子们所体验到的爱和欢乐深深影响他们，他们也因此去接触家人、同学、邻居和朋友。我们的使命就是继续爱护、关怀和启发下一代，成为上帝创造他们要成为的人。

We hope to extend love and care to children especially those in low-income and needy families. Through our tuition and reading classes, mentoring, financial assistance and other programmes, we seek to meet needs and make a difference.

We want to embrace children with emotional struggles, to enable them to soar with confidence in life. Kids In Total Embrace aims to support children from poor and needy families who have gone through grief and loss because of a divorce, death in the family or loss of friendships. We want to create a safe space for these children to share their thoughts, feelings and concerns while guiding them understand their emotions and process their pain.

我们想要拥抱有情绪挣扎的孩子，让他们在生活中能充满信心地翱翔。Kids In Total Embrace （完全拥抱孩子）的宗旨是要扶持来自贫困家庭的孩子，他们因为离婚、家人过世或失去友谊而经历失去的悲痛。我们希望为这些孩子制造安全空间，让他们能分享自己的想法、感受和顾虑，并同时引导他们理解自己的情绪，处理自己的悲痛。

If there is one area people bond over, it is food. Meals With Love is an initiative to befriend and connect with migrant workers who are far away from home. Through fellowship over food, we hope to share individual stories and build friendships that cut across ethnic boundaries.

食物可说是凝聚人们的一大原因。爱心聚餐提倡的是结交远离家乡的移民工为友，并与他们建立联系。我们希望通过美食交流，分享个人故事，建立跨越种族界限的友谊。

我们身边的低薪客工都是离乡背井来这里打工。他们往往在艰难的条件下工作，而且工作时间漫长。你会发现，他们虽然生活在社群中，但其实有很多人都非常孤单和想家。因此，“我们的客工”旨在接触这些客工，以及外籍女佣，与他们交友，在他们需要时为他们提供实际帮助，并举办有意义的活动，让他们参与。

Low-wage migrant workers in our midst are far from their homes and families. They work long hours and often, under tough conditions. You would find that although they live in communities, many of them feel alone and homesick. As such, My Fellow Workers is an initiative to reach out to these migrant workers, as well as foreign domestic helpers, to befriend them, offer practical help where needed, and organise meaningful activities and events that they can participate in.

抚育圈接触的是未婚妈妈，我们希望为她们提供产前和产后的实际和情感支持。我们希望与这些勇敢的母亲们同行，为她们建立社群支持她们度过脆弱、恐惧或孤独的挣扎时期。

Nurturing Circle reaches out to unwed mothers by offering pre-natal and post-natal support, both practically and emotionally. We want to journey with these brave mothers to build a community of support to these people who may struggle with feeling vulnerable, fearful, or alone.

Through befriending, special projects and events, the PSNs ministry hopes to connect and show the love of God to persons with special needs, their caregivers and families.

此事工希望透过交友、特别项目和活动来与有特殊需的要人士、其看护人和家人联系，并向他们展示神的爱。

服刑期满的更生人士，有时在重新适应社会生活时会经历极大的困难。许多人常常感觉格格不入，在找工作和保住工作上也面临挑战。因此，我们希望能够扶持这些更生人士，帮助他们重新融入社会，继续走在正确的道路上，重建他们的生命。当我们成为他们的朋友，帮助他们找工作并提供一些经济支援，我们希望能借此给予他们实际、社会与情绪上的支持，并且陪伴他们一同实现经济独立以及能够照顾家人的目标。

Inmates who have completed their prison term sometimes experience difficulty adjusting back to life in society. Many often feel out of place and struggle to get employed or hold down a job. As such, we hope to help and support ex-offenders re-integrate into the community, stay on the right path and rebuild their lives. By providing practical, social and emotional support through befriending, finding employment, and a little financial aid, we want to journey with them to reach financial independence and be able to take care of their family.

Sex workers are among the most marginalised and discriminated against in society. Yet, many of these women in the sex industry are vulnerable to sexual abuse, health risks and physical assault. Because they are typically shunned and frowned upon, many are often afraid to come forward to seek help. Just as Jesus had compassion for the outcasts of society, we too, hope to reach out to them with the love of Christ by befriending them, providing practical and emotional support, conducting workshops and English classes, and so on. Our aim is to show them that they are of value and worth in God’s eyes.

性工作者是社会上最边缘化、最受歧视的一群。然而，许多性行业的女性却容易受到性虐待，或面临健康和身体的危险和伤害。大家普遍对她们避而远之，因此许多都不敢上前来寻求帮助。就像耶稣如何怜悯社会排斥的人，我们也希望接触她们，并透过这些方式——和她们做朋友，提供实际和情绪上的支持，举办工作坊和英文课程等——来向她们展示基督的爱。我们的目的是让她们知道在神的眼中，她们是宝贵且有价值的。

特别的日子和节日是非常重要的，而记得这些节日是我们与他人连结与建立真实关系的一种方式。

Special dates and occasions are very important and remembering them is one way we can connect and build genuine relationships with one another.
Some people may have never had their birthday celebrated before, while others may not have the means to do so. The Blessing Project aims to show love and care to children and persons with special needs from low-income and needy families by celebrating their birthday with a cake and gift. We want to let them know that they are special and valued!

It has become increasingly difficult for the youth of today to navigate adolescence, identity, academics and society’s expectations. Understanding that studies and school work play an important part in the “growing pains”, the Tuition Ministry aims to empower and aid the youth—specifically through tuition, especially if they are from low-income and needy families. Our volunteer tutors consist of undergrads and experienced tutors who are committed to helping students that need the additional academic support.

今日的青少年要面对青春期、身份认同、学业与社会的期望已是越来越困难的事情。我们了解学习与课业在青少年成长中的艰辛过程中是非常重要的。因此，补习事工希望透过补习来培力与帮助青少年，尤其是来自低收入和有需要家庭的人。我们的补习老师团队是由大学生以及经验丰富的志工所组成的，他们致力于帮助在学业上需要额外辅助的学生。

我们接触社会边缘青年的方式，就是结交那些较容易出现问题行为、滥用药物、参与帮派、打架等的年轻人，并为他们提供指导。我们了解到，家庭背景、身份需求、渴望得接纳和归属感等因素都会影响他们，因此我们的目的是为青少年提供指导、牧养关怀和帮助，使他们能克服困境并培养韧性。

We aim to reach out to at-risk youths who are more vulnerable to problem behaviours, substance abuse, involvement in gangs, fights and such through befriending and mentoring. Understanding that several factors such as family background, need for identity, and a sense of acceptance and belonging all come into play, we seek to provide guidance, care, and a support community for youths to get on the path to overcoming their circumstances and building resilience.
