Mission and vision

This is the day, that the Lord has made. 這就是主,所定的日子.

馬來西亞、梹城、浮羅勿洞《方舟愛老院》
THE NOAH’S ARK, PULAU BETONG, PENANG, MALAYSIA
簡 介
爱老院是塑造长者身、心、灵的庇护所。廿一世纪的马来西亚社会渐渐步入高龄化,老人的照护成为每个家庭的重要课题。《方舟爱老院》的建立象征《恩惠之家》迈入新纪元,也为马来西亚的老人照护系统注入更清新的活力。

宗 旨:〈方舟〉的恩惠

《挪亚的方舟》是大家耳熟能详的圣经故事。在毁灭世界之前,上帝命令义人挪亚建造一艘方舟,装载成对的动物,逃避洪水之灾。感谢上帝的恩典,方舟成为庇护所。靠赖上帝的恩典,在奔走前面的道路的当儿,我们始终相信:
· 改变是不可避免的;
· 专业的照护能减缓病体的痛苦;
· 真诚的关怀能释放困扰的心灵;
· 爱能减少痛苦,提升希望!

廿一世纪的马来西亚社会逐渐步入高龄化,老人的安养问题是亟待正视的。在大家的同心协力下,《方舟爱老院》一旦竣工,我们即能落实“需要在那里,爱就在那里”的使命!让《方舟爱老院》传承上帝的慈爱,传递谦卑服侍的精神。这一艘现代的方舟,是长者的庇护所,安养身心的新天地!我们整装待发,梦想的旗帜已升起;扬帆迈向新世纪,为生命增添光采的时刻拭目可待!

PROFILE
Home for the aged is a sanctuary enhancing the upbringing of body and soul. Malaysia in the 21st century is on the threshold of an aging society. Care of the elderly has become an important issue for each family. The establishment of the Noah’s Ark Nursing Home symbolizes a new era for Rumah Charis apart from ejecting more fresh vitality for the elderly care system in Malaysia.

OUR PURPOSE – the grace of Noah’s Ark
The Noah's Ark" is a familiar story of the Bible. Prior to the destruction of the world, God commanded the righteous Noah to build an ark for loading all animals in pairs to save them from floods. The Noah’s Ark is very much like a sanctuary. With God's grace, we are running the road ahead cling on to following conviction that:
• change is inevitable;
• professional care can reduce a patient’s suffering;
• sincere concern can release a troubled soul;
• love can reduce pain and enhance hope!

Malaysia, stepping into the 21st century, is becoming an aging society. Care for the elderly is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed. Our mission has always been “Let love abounds where need arises”. I hope that through concerted efforts of our dedicated friends and supporters the construction of Noah’s Ark can be completed to facilitate implementation of our mission.

We have to pass on God's love and be committed to serve the elderly aboard this modern ark, a sanctuary and a safe haven for the elderly both physically and psychologically. The Noah’s Ark is a channel of blessing to the destitute elderly. We will serve with humility. The banner of dream is risen. We are ready to sail off to a new era bringing light into life.

《恩惠之家》是一家教会非盈利的机构,由其创办人张胡坤牧师于1988年所创立。
主要事工是针对老人、儿童及青少年的需要;社会服务范围包括老人院、儿童及青少年的服侍。《恩惠之家》的使命:为那些失丧及贫穷的人提供扶助及关怀。宗旨:成为他人的祝福。无论生身在何处,神的恩惠及慈爱与信实就常随着我们。它是本国社团注册局注册之慈善团体,也是吉隆坡社会福利部之会员。
《恩惠之家》有两间老人院,为贫穷无助的长者提供庇护,照料他们的生活起居,分别设立于首都蒲种路六哩及北部槟城湖内。现在计划于槟城浮罗勿洞设立一所照顾末期病人之全新安养院。

 方舟在希伯來原文的意思是『箱子』,或是『櫃子』,這名詞在別處作為『不透水的籃子』使用。在聖經中與『約櫃』及嬰孩摩西所在的『蒲草箱』,(出二3,二五10,)二者是同一個字。聖經挪亞造方舟的記載,方舟長三百肘,寬五十肘,高三十肘,結構上分為上、中、下三層,上方留有透光處,材質為歌斐木(即腓尼基人常用作造船的木料)。名航海家華德饒雷勳爵(Walter Raleigh)指出:『方舟必有扁平之底,與一般船頭尖銳而用以破浪的設計不同,牠建構的兩大要求是最大的容積,並且能漂浮,這樣的設計使方舟能自然漂浮,不生危險。』因為方舟不是船,是逃生的工具;不是用來航行,只是用來漂浮,這就是方舟的設計、構造及功用。聖經記載,神以祂的形像及樣式造人,其『目的』乃是要人像祂以彰顯祂、代表祂。但神的仇敵一再破壞這個目的,漸漸人類已經無法代表、彰顯神。人在地上作惡犯罪,終日所思想的盡都是惡。此時撒但已經徹底的破壞了神整個計畫。於是,『耶和華就後悔造人在地上,心中憂傷,』(創六6,)決心用洪水清除整個大地,且將敗壞的人類一併毀滅;然而挪亞在神眼前蒙恩,神要他造方舟,保留這個敬畏神的家庭。他們進方舟後,大水立即從天上及地下的水源洶湧而來,淹沒了整個大地。但挪亞一家及各種生物都靠著方舟得蒙拯救,並且神以彩虹為記號,與他們立了生命之約。主耶穌曾說,挪亞的日子如何,世界的末期也如何。(太二四37。)當人們照樣喫喝嫁娶、犯罪作惡,不知不覺審判即將來到,人沒有一點反抗的能力,無奈的等候審判。因為神的憐憫,今日祂也為我們預備了『方舟』,就是召會生活,你若要從世界的洪流中蒙拯救,就必須進入『方舟』過召會生活。這是得救惟一的路。『你和你的全家都要進入方舟。』(創七1。)這是當年神向挪亞發出拯救的呼喚,這恩典的呼喚不斷的出現在整本聖經中,直到最後一章,神仍不停止祂的呼召。(啟二二17。)朋友,當這呼召再度依稀在你的耳邊時,請你答應,快快進入『方舟』,同蒙生命之恩,脫離將來的忿怒,同享神兒子自由的榮耀。

This is the day, that the Lord has made. 這就是主,所定的日子。
