Magda
Housemother - with all her heart, each and every moment
Magda has been working at the Ebenezer Home since 2012, and three of those years as the house mother. Her daily tasks are very diverse, like those of a mother ... ;)
She makes sure, the residents are well off, their rooms are furnished according to their needs, and if they have specific needs, she goes and shops for them. Another part of her daily work is domestic economics. Every week Magda meets with the kitchen staff to plan the menu, taking into account the diets of the individual residents. Magda also is the first person to contact about laundry and house cleaning. In short: She oversees everything related to the domestic economy. During the year, she organizes various feast celebrations for the residents in the Ebenezer Home or the adjacent garden. Magda is also in regular contact with suppliers, compares prices, and orders food.
The ambience at Ebenezer is very friendly. It feels like a second home to her, and Magda enjoys being at Ebenezer. She explains, "In my daily work, I experience how God gives me the strength, wisdom, and joy to accomplish all tasks. He brought me here. For me it's a privilege to serve Him and the residents here, and it's incredibly fun for me. I want to work for Him with all my heart, each and every moment."
Abir
Financial Accounting
Abir has been working at Ebenezer since 2017 and she loves her job! Here in her office, she handles everything concerning finances, but there is so much more...
Abir explains, "The Ebenezer Home is unique because everyone here believes in Jesus: the residents, the management, the nurses, the nursing aides, the team in the kitchen, the cleaning staff, the cleaners, the team in the creativity room,... In short, Ebenezer is a place of faith. When I'm at Ebenezer, it feels like I'm at home... like I'm in a big family. And it's a home where a lot of prayers are lifted up before the Lord. Every problem is put into Gods hands."
Moreover, Abir's work in Ebenezer is a unique service to the residents. That's very special. She is commonly heard saying, "Toda la El (thank God) for this job! I'm very blessed!"
