SOUTH ASIA, Rev. NP
This year, the Home continues to care for 15 elderly people, including one new resident. Many of the elderly are living with asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure and some also face mental and physical challenges. We thank God that no resident passed away in 2025.
Special attention is given to health care and daily routine. We work on regulating food, guiding residents in healthy habits, and supporting them with basic training for daily living. Simple games, medical check-ups and motor function checks are organised to help with both physical and mental well-being.
The elderly who are able are taken for regular walks and short outings. Recently, we received a small van, which has been a great help. It allows residents who cannot walk well to go to the hospital and travel safely when needed.
We are grateful for strong support from the local community. People visited the Home during Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, often in memory of their parents. Some families also choose to celebrate birthdays with the elderly.
Volunteers continue to help with laundry, cleaning, bathing and general care. Our church and a few sponsors are faithfully supporting the ministry. One of the challenges is staff tiredness and burnout because of the heavy workload. We are trying to equip and encourage them, reminding them to take care of themselves and support them so they can continue to serve with strength and joy.
Looking ahead, we are praying for better accommodation, stronger physical and mental health care and further training and development for staff so that we can serve the elderly more effectively.
Visits open meaningful opportunities to share the Gospel and some visitors eventually came to church.
