Kuching, Sarawak
19 June – 03 July 2015
17 students (from 12 campuses all around Malaysia) with 6 staff and 2 graduate helpers came together to embark on a new experience – discovering what social work is all about. This is an historic, first ever Social Work Exposure and Embracement Program (SWEEP) to be held in Sarawak. God gave us the opportunity listen and to learn from those who gave their lives in the ministry to those in need. We were given a taste of the joy and challenges of the work. We were blessed even as we hoped our presence had been a blessings to all we encountered during this short stint together.
“SWEEP was an eye-opener for me. Through SWEEP, God has showed me that preaching is not the only way to reach out to the people around us. Sometimes it just take our willingness and an act of kindness to show them that Jesus is alive and He cares.” – Julia Kimura, graduate helper –
“After journeying through SWEEP, I understood that Social Work or the needs of people around us are great OPPORTUNITIES, given by God to me to be part of the great work God is already doing in their lives. Indeed a privilege.” – Philip Jude, USM KK –
“SWEEP was an experience I’ll treasure because it has opened up my eyes to the needs of the unseen side of this society that God cares about.” – Ruby Tan, UCSI Medic (Terengganu) –
