(I) 要心动行动，先从拥抱开始。
2010-09-16，历时四天三夜的“第一届大马基督徒全人关怀研讨会”走入尾声。这是大马华文教会及基督教关怀机构一个充满历史性的一刻。在此次研讨会，共有410人出席。其中参加者329人，讲员38位，志工32位与筹委11位。参与的教会达81间，49家机构与44家参展摊位。这一切的一切是神所成就的美事。
我们向神献上赞美与感谢。许多教会与弟兄姐妹经过本届研讨会的“洗礼”，再次被神激励，被圣灵充满。大家一致看见社区关怀使命的重要，心动就要行动。我们必须拆除“教会围墙”，本着“爱神爱人”理念走入并服务社群，这是我们基督徒共同肩负的使命。
研讨会结束前，袁婷蓉牧师邀请各教会牧长与关怀机构的同工，彼此拥抱与认罪。盼望借此机会，教会与关怀机构的关系得以修复，和好与合一。让我们打破藩篱，毫无嫌隙，一同携手走出教会，进入人群。以爱拥抱世界，建立合一教会，完成神所赐下的大使命与大诫命。
To Act in Compassion, Starts from Hug!
On Sept 16, 2010, the 4D3N of “First Malaysian Christian Holistic Care Conference” came to an end. It was a historical moment for Chinese churches and Christian social organization in Malaysia. There is total of 410 people attended this conference with 329 participants, 38 speakers, 32 volunteers and 11 committee members. There are 81 participating churches and 49 participating organizations and 44 Christian social organizations involved in Caring Ministry Exhibition. These are wonderful work of God!
We give all praise and thanksgiving unto our God. After the “baptism” of this conference, many churches, brothers and sisters were being revived by God and filled with Holy Spirit. In one accord, we see that it’s important to fulfill the mission to care about our community and act when we are moved. We should tear down the “wall” of church, by abiding the Great Commandment of loving God and others; we walk into the community and serve them. This is the mission that we Christian should shoulder together.
Before the conference ended, Rev June Yuen invited all church pastors and care-givers to embrace, confess, and forgive one another. Prayerfully through this opportunity, relationship between churches and social organizations will be restored and united as one in Christ. Let’s break the barrier that hinder us to go out, set aside all dissension and walk into the community hands in hands. Embrace the world with love, build the church in unity, and accomplish the Great Commission and the Great Commandment entrusted by God.
(II) 最新进展 Latest Updates
大会期间，推介了3个社区关怀的模式，并寻求教会成为伙伴，一起配搭！以下是有关事工的最新进展。
Three innovative service models have been introduced during the conference, and seeking partnering churches to work together. Following are some latest updates:
a. 7979全人关怀站 Holistic Care Station
许多教会牧者及领袖邀请全人关怀团队前往教会分享这模式。 其他出席研讨会的弟兄姐妹也答应把这模式带回教会，与教会牧者领袖分享，考虑加入此行列。 神也赐下许多这事工所需要的资源：有一位姐妹愿意加入全人成为陪读班协调员的全职同工，有弟兄为我们架设网站——宣传及推广7979，有一姐妹为我们设计行动外套或T-恤，也有弟兄愿意赞助2位同工去台湾受训的机票。
Many church pastors have invited HISTEAM to share this caring model in their church. Other brothers and sisters who have attended this conference also promise to share this model with their church pastors and leaders. God also grants us many resources that we need. These include a sister who is willing to join HISTEAM as full time staff to co-ordinate “Companionship Class for Underprivileged Children” programme, a brother who will help us to design and develop a website to promote 7979 ministry, a sister who is willing to help us to design “Care in unity” vest or T-shirt. Besides that, a brother agreed to sponsor air ticket for 2 staffs to attend training in Taiwan after hearing our ministry and needs.
b. 大马餐馆福音团契 Restaurant Gospel Fellowship
一位参加研讨会的牧师答应每个月一次参与餐福夜间的聚会并分享信息。禧福的一位姐妹受托负责这事工。透过符梅萍牧师的带领，我们联络了多间餐馆，其中有6间餐馆愿意让我们进去与他们分享福音（他们大多数的员工都是缅甸人，也有从缅甸来的华裔），并在这6间餐馆里成立了2个小组。有2间教会愿意在晚上11 ：30开放，让我们在里面聚会。在聚会当中发现有很多缅甸来的外劳，他们不明白我们的方言。神竟然早已感动了两位缅甸牧师，愿意与我们同工，一起来服侍这班缅甸外劳。
A pastor who has attended this conference, agreed to help in preaching to the workers in restaurant during their gathering in the midnight once a month. A sister from Jubilee Initiative is in charge of this ministry. With the help of Rev Foo Moy Peng, they have contacted many restaurants, in which 6 restaurants welcome them to share gospel with them (most of the workers there are Myanmarese, some are Chinese Myanmarese) and set up 2 cell groups among the 6 restaurants. There are 2 churches lending their premises for these fellowships to meet at 11.30pm. The Myanmarese does not understand our dialect, but God has sent 2 Myanmarese pastors who will partnership with us to serve this group of Myanmarese migrants.
c. 圣诞儿礼 Operation Christmas Child
善普施的代表Rev Bill Klear分享过去一年连接本地异象持有者的努力，祈望在来年能成立大马全国领袖团队来执行圣诞儿礼的事工。研讨会中，Bill Klear牧师用心地以华语分享，透过当地教会派发来自遥远国家的礼物给贫穷孩子之运动，祈望华人教会，愿意派送圣诞礼物，将爱与福音，一起传送到大马最大的福音未得之民手上。此崭新的事工，有待即将成立的全国领袖团队于2011年落实在大马这片土地上。
For the past one year, representative from Samaritan Purse, Rev Bill Klear has been working hard to share and network some local vision holders to form a national leadership team so that they can carry out the ministry of Operation Christmas Child. In the conference, Rev Bill Klear has shared in Mandarin about this movement of distributing gifts from faraway to poverty-stricken kids through local churches. Prayerfully the Chinese churches are willing to share the love and good news of Jesus by giving out Christmas gifts to the largest unreached group in Malaysia. This new ministry will be implemented in Malaysia when the national leadership team is formed in 2011.
附注：欲更深入了解以上创新策略者，欢迎联络大会秘书处，全人关怀团队。
Remark: Feel free to contact HISTEAM for further information and updates of these innovative strategies mentioned above.
正如夏忠坚牧师所言：散会不是结束，而是开始。研讨会结束后，得到许多教会的认同与积极的回应，特别是所推介的3项创新策略。此研讨会的大会秘书处会继续运作，为连结众教会的关怀事工及一些崭新的关怀方案，并为下一届的研讨会作准备。我们也邀请了约30位在大马不同区域的牧者领袖成为区域推广及联络人。这是为了协助推广研讨会出版的书籍，落实合一关怀外套及跟进研讨会所推介的创新策略与其他关怀事工。更多详情请浏览大会部落格。
As mentioned by Rev James Shia in the conference, dismiss is not an end but a start. After this conference, we received positive response and acknowledgement from many churches, especially the 3 innovative strategies introduced. The secretariat of the conference will continue to operate in order to update churches about the progress of these innovative strategies and prepare for the next conference. We have invited about 30 pastors and leaders from different area in Malaysia to be our Regional Promote and Contact Person. This is to assist the promotion of a book with conference messages collection, “Care in Unity” Vest and follow-up the innovative strategies and ministry introduced in the conference.

(III) 参加者感言。。。 Feedback from participants…
爱与关怀瓶颈中的帮补
双福创办人沈秋香
2009年至2010年极力于整顿内部，骇然发现同工们都处于疲乏状态。同工与事工所料未及的大变动，人事的问题，一桩接着一桩。智力与心力大受考验，在祷告中寻求神的旨意，感谢神的怜悯与垂听。神为我们预备了“大马基督徒全人关怀研讨会”。
当全马各地教会与机构踊跃的参与，在神的爱里相聚，我感受到那份群策群力的和睦美善。大会根据教会与机构所需，安排国内外牧者浇灌教导，也邀请机构领导同工以工作学习坊带领学习；让心中的负担拥有具体的方向与模式。
参加研讨会，身体休息，心灵则是充实。其实教会与机构是互相配搭完成使命的肢体，却常以各自的标准而自雇围墙。最后一天我看到谦卑的灵，相爱的心；教会与机构代表，互相道歉，彼此拥抱，这是一股暖流，流向和睦蒙神喜悦的道路。
上帝竟然用这四天的领受来装备我，让我面对事工上遭遇的问题。虽然困顿伤痛，但我坚信上帝必会帮助双福。当然我必须先在神面前认罪悔改，并且以感恩及顺服的心来调整自己。而7979全人关怀策略是很震撼性的推动。我看见福音关怀的大阵容，神要兴起各教会，各个弟兄姐妹团队冲锋，抢救受困的灵魂。
我与同工们再次地省思。谁是我的邻舍？是我们身边朝夕共事的同工？我们是不是太熟悉了，成了惯律的断定，而为难对？真的犹如讲员所说，我们很有爱心款待求助者，却没有耐心爱日久相处的同工。马太福音22章：37-39节：“你们要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主你的神，这是诫命中的第一，最大的其次也相仿，就是要爱人如己。”爱神，与人和好，是最要紧的事。起冲突时学习放下自己的着眼点，才会有全面性的视野。
有一天早晨，一位姐妹来访。这位姐妹是个心理学博士也是教授，她带领她的学生来关心我们。她说她一直在找双福。我问她如何认识双福。她说：在全人关怀研讨会的事工展览的会场上，她看到中心三个残障朋友也许行动不方便，也许说话不清楚，但是她们喜乐的心，让她很感动。
感谢神，祂的爱常在生活中充满安慰与恩典。
An exit in the bottleneck of love and care
Written by Shen Chiu Hsiang, founder of Shuang Fu
From 2009 till 2010, as I restructure internal organization greatly, shockingly I found out that co-workers were in fatigue state. This unexpected big change among co-workers and within the ministry causes a lot of personnel problems. My intelligence, mental and physical efforts were greatly being challenged. I prayed to God and seek His will. Thank God, He has answered my prayer and prepared this “Malaysian Christian Holistic Care Conference” for us.
When churches and organization from all over Malaysia taking part in this conference actively, in the midst of gathering in God’s love, I could feel the harmonious and beautiful of the collective wisdom and effort. The working committee invited speakers from both overseas and local to nurture and teach us according to the needs of churches and organizations. They also invited leaders from various social organizations to share their experience through workshop.
Attending this conference, my body can have a rest but my soul is full. Actually, churches and organization are the best body to accomplish God mission hands in hands but most of the time we build our own wall using our own standard. On the last day, I saw spirit of humility and loving heart. Representatives of church and organization apologized to one another and hug one another. This is a warm current that flow to harmony, the path that pleases God.
God actually equip me through these 4 days of conference to face the problems I met in my ministry. Although I was hurt and exhausted, I strongly believe that God will help Double Blessing. Of course, we need to confess our sin and repent before God first, and then adjust ourselves with a heart of thanksgiving and obedience. On the other hand, the strategy of 7979 Holistic Care Station is an impressive push. I foresee the great battle formation of gospel and care. God will revive every church and brothers and sister to charge and save the oppressed souls.
I reflect with my co-workers about these questions again: Who is my neighbour? Is he/she the one that we work together every day in the centre? Are we too familiar with one another and become a habit and law to judge one another, embarrassing others? As the speaker mentioned, we are kind to treat those we need our help, but no patience for co-worker who lively together for quite some time. In Matthew 22:37-39, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. ”Love God and befriend with people are the most important things. When argument arises, learn to put down own point of view, then only you can see thing clearly from entire view.
One morning, a sister visited me. She is a PhD holder in psychology cum professor. She brought her students along and said that she was looking for Shuang Fu. I asked her how she gets to know Shuang Fu. She said, in the exhibition in conjunction with Holistic Care Conference, she saw 3 disabled friends from our centre, maybe they are not convenient in action, perhaps their talking are not clear, but their joyful heart truly touched her.
Thank God, His love fills our life, give us comfort and grace.
(IV) 参与者积极的回应
杨淑贤传道：感谢神赐恩，有机会参与“第一届大马基督徒全人关怀研讨会”。短短4天三夜的研讨会，像一条项链，一环扣一环。每个环节虽有独立内容，却是有连贯性，有整体性的。透过资深讲员们的信息，牧者们的专题分享，前线同工们的工作坊与经验之谈，很成功地带出上帝最大诫命的连贯性和整体性。同时也呼吁大马众教会合一，去完成上帝最大的诫命。不单全心、全性、全意、全力，爱主我们的神，也要爱人如己。
Lana: 你们所举办的关怀研讨会，做得很好。参加者的回应都说讲员满有恩膏，那些深触心灵的问题使他们扎心流泪。愿神唤起沉睡的巨人，教会兴起，活出他们的命定及向绝望者欢唱。这是全人在马来西亚教会，举办及协调国度事工的里程碑。
Dato Sri Idris Jala: 我们还有许多可以为我们的百姓及国家进行的事。若我们尽我们的本分及祷告，神的手必临到这土地。
洪信慧传道：很多人都懊恼错过了这么好的东西，参加的人都赞不绝口。希望心动、口动，还要有行动。
一些匿名参加者的回应：
很感恩能够参与这样的研讨会，很有建设性，让我之前面临的问题，都在这里找到答案。有机会接触及认识不同关怀事工的信息，带来个人更多的看见和帮助，甚至提升对神的信实，和祂的带领。
这是一个合时的研讨会。希望第二次举办研讨会时，我们能看到这次研讨会所宣告，所计划的事工成立。我也察觉研讨会的同工及志工都全心全意，尽心尽力的为研讨会投身，使研讨会可以顺利进行。赞美主！
Positive responses from the participants
Pr Khin Wai Yi: Thank God for this great opportunity to attend “First Malaysian Christian Holistic Care Conference”. In this short period of 4 days and 3 night’s conference, it’s like a necklace, chained one by one. Every session, it’s of independent content but with continuity and integrity. Through the messages of experienced speakers, plenary sharing of pastors and experience sharing of frontline co-workers in workshop had successfully brought out the continuity and integrity of the Greatest Commandment. At same time, churches are called to accomplish the Great Commandment entrusted by God in unity. Not only to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength, but also to love our neighbours as ourselves.
Lana Wong: Well done for organising the Holistic Care Conference. Feedback from participants was the speakers were truly anointed and make all of them cry with all the deep soul searching questions. May God truly wake up the sleeping giant and the church to rise up to its destiny and sing a song to the hopeless. This is a benchmark for HISTEAM in organising and co-ordinating the churches, ministries in West and East Malaysia.
Dato Sri Idris Jala: We have a lot to do for our people and country. If we all do our bit & pray, the Lord’s hand will be upon this land.
Pr Mary Hung: Many people were upset because they have missed this wonderful conference. People who have attended commend that this conference is beyond all the praises. I hope that they are not only being moved in their heart and mouth but also they live it out in their action.
Anonymous comment from some participants:
– I’m truly grateful that I can attend this conference. It’s constructive; I’ve found the answer for the question that I’m troubling before this. I have the chance to get to know different caring ministry. From their sharing I gain a lot of insights, even enhance my faith in God for His faithfulness and guidance.
– It’s a timely conference. Hopefully in the next conference, what this conference has declared and planned will come true. I also notice that the co-workers and volunteers of the conference were serving wholehearted and make the conference run smoothly. Praise the Lord!
