In September 2016, the Mandarin Ministry for Injured Chinese Workers put on a new name of "Agape Fellowship", relocating its activities to PLMC's premises. Agape, which refers to God's love, was chosen as a symbolic rest for these workers, who are often hard pressed for time. The Agape Fellowship seeks to be a place where they can rest, seek, and experience God's love.
Last Christmas, which fell on a Sunday, saw a total of 58 guests participate in the celebration, an Unexpected turnout from 40 registrants. With God's divine providence and lead, both food and gifts turned out to be sufficient, concluding the celebration with activities, games, ukelele performances and songs.
中国工伤客工事工九月起已从康侍的场地改在教会进行各项活动。同时也决定改称较为贴切的 “爱加倍小站” Agape Fellowship。Agape 是神的爱，而客工来去匆匆，小站是代表让客工暂时停留休息可以寻求和得着神的爱。
今年的圣诞节恰好就是主日，活石为中国客工安排在华语崇拜的两堂聚会结束后的下午在约旦厅举行圣诞庆祝会。当天共有 58 位客工参与，超过原本已经报名的 40 位人数。这意味着预先所准备的食物的分量和礼包的数目都必须增加。哈利路亚！
感谢上帝的供应和带领，大家才能灵活性地做好安 排，使客工们都能享用了丰盛的圣诞午餐，饭后也参与各项活动，包括游戏和优琴队一同合唱圣诞歌曲，乐在其中；当天的活动在分发礼包后也圆满结束，皆大欢喜。感谢上帝，“爱加倍小站” 继续成为是我们与中国客工的感情联络站，分享神的爱。
Agape Fellowship, Lantern Making 爱加倍小站事工:祝福他人, 活出爱
In anticipation for Chinese New Year, the Agape Fellowship held a Lantern Making session to bless the elders of the Chang Qing Cell Group. A total of 28 Chinese brothers came forward to put their nimble hands to the test, fashioning an assortment of lantern designs. The hour-long interaction proved to be a joyous one with much laughter and excitement, as they experienced at firsthand, what it meant to be "Blessed to Bless”.
在农历新年来临的期间，我们在12月10日星期六的爱加倍小站的主要活动是教导客工如何制作灯笼，同时把做好的红包灯笼送给活石长青团契的年长者，祝福他们。当天共有 28 位中国弟兄参与，在同工们的教导和协助下，边学边做，非常开心和兴致勃勃，他们尝试了好几款灯笼，而且在短短的一个小時內完成了数目可观的灯笼，令人感动和惊同时他们也相当兴奋，不是单单受祝福，自己也能祝福他人，活出爱。
