| Becoming Fully Alive by Cherie Chen, The Vine Church |
| “As a newly formed Community Group, we started with the Fully Alive study series and completed exercises on recognising some gifts of our group members. As the study was ending, we sensed a need to connect with our wider community. When this call to serve together was shared with the church’s missional ministry, we were very well supported and were introduced to one of the church’s local partners—Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong. Through Habitat, we were enabled to help improve the living environment for low-income families and the elderly. We were told how this also encouraged the missional heart of the leadership in the church. Daniel and Hajin from the Missions Team took the time to get to know our group and gave us a training session before the volunteer work. |

After the briefing on the service day, we were assigned to a household where we needed to fix the peeling ceiling, do some painting, and to clean the house. Getting rid of the peeling paint from the ceiling with the tools provided was the most intense part of the day. The team, including a skilled contractor (who was there to supervise us), was very dedicated and hardworking. During the work and over lunch, we enjoyed chatting with each other and the elderly. Before we finished the day, we wrote a card for the couple and prayed for them.
Going into someone’s living space and getting our hands dirty was an amazing way to forget our own “to-do” lists and really be present in a meaningful activity. While serving together, we got to see a different side of each other. Since then, our interaction as a group has been deeper and more intimate. This local ministry experience has encouraged us to love the people in our city in a concrete way, and to want to stay as a family and do what is required of us.” |
