Life with Dignity

Life with Dignity for the Mentally Challenged in War Zones
“Let my child die before me,” prayed a distraught older woman.
One’s mind reels. One’s heart recoils. Why in the world would any mother pray such a prayer?
A friend of that mother explains. “Her prayer is not unusual. There are no lifelong options for mentally challenged orphans. When a mother dies, she does not know what will happen to her child. The war only aggravated the situation. Some mentally challenged folks were literally wandering the streets, some lost and/or abandoned when families took flight.”
However, Go & Share Missions Canada declared this despair to be unacceptable.
That declaration led to an insider visionary who also declared such hopelessness unacceptable. He envisioned a different way: one that tangibly demonstrates the love of Jesus for the least of these. He dreamed of a nationwide cradle-to-grave community with the mentally challenged, honoring their dignity. Village by village, he nurtures volunteers to befriend their “brothers and sisters.” That volunteer network has grown to over a thousand strong, overcoming fear and prejudice and enduring years of war.
Yet mothers still prayed that tragic prayer. And Go & Share declared with him, “It’s still unacceptable.”
His dream of “a place to welcome mentally challenged orphans to live in dignity” has come true in partnership with Go & Share. Now these “brothers and sisters” have a loving home until their last breath as valuable contributors to a community. Volunteers flock to the home to experience the honest love of these “brothers and sisters.”
Go & Share didn’t stop there. We have assisted in establishing and sustaining a sheltered workshop where the “brothers and sisters” can work and sell their products. Despite the war, the pandemic, and economic collapse, the workshop has continued operating. This year (2022), they donated profit from their sales to provide food for the ophan home.
Isn’t it amazing what a loving delcaration of unacceptable can do?
讓戰亂地區中的
智障弟兄姊妹
活得有尊嚴
「讓我的孩子比我先死去吧!」一位母親正痛苦地禱告說。試問天下間有那位母親會這樣禱告?
這位母親的朋友解釋說: 「她的禱告並非不尋常。這裏的智障孤兒實在沒有安心生活的選擇。當母親去世時，她不知道她的孩子會怎樣。戰爭只會使情況更惡化。一些智障人士終日在街上流連，一些在舆家人逃難途中迷了路，甚至被遺棄了。」
然而，樂傳仁愛看見這情況，認為是不可接受的。我們在當地的同工，有同樣的想法，他願景將耶穌基督的愛實在地彰顯在最微小的一群。他夢想建立一個全國性的智障人士終身的社區，讓他們可以有尊嚴地生活終老。他招募了一批義工服務這些智障弟兄姊妹。現在這義工網絡已增長至過千人，在戰火連年中，克服恐懼及偏見，忠心的服侍。
樂傳仁愛與當地同工合夥設立了一所智障孤兒之家，讓智障孤兒能夠有尊嚴地，在充滿愛的環境生活。另外，我們更營運一工作坊，讓智障弟兄姊妹可以工作，售賣他們所造的產品。儘管在戰亂、疫情、及經濟崩潰之下，工作坊仍然繼續運作。感謝主，今年(2022)，工作坊還有盈餘可以資助提供食物給孤兒之家。

Refugee Ministry & Training of National Workers in Lebanon
Refugee Ministry & Training of National Workers in Lebanon
Go and Share Missions Canada partners with a local evangelical church in Lebanon to develop refugee ministry, which includes the establishment of churches, orphanages, schools and worker training centers. The Church is now helping these refugees by not only taking care of their physical needs, but also preaching the gospel of love, compassion and forgiveness. The Christians there become the salt and light of the local community. Millions of refugees have lost their homes and have been displaced. Their hearts are open. God is going to work on this land, and this is a great opportunity for us to respond to His Great Commission!
