~ 我們的歷史 Our History ~

• 1993 荷蘭籍宣教士林迪真 (阿真) 來到萬華, 在活水泉教會關懷街友(無家者)和其他邊緣人。然後發現龍山寺旁有一群在茶室或街頭從事性工作的婦女。
  Tera, a missionary from Holland, arrived at The Spring, a church sin Wanhua. It was started to reach out to the homeless and marginalized in the area. She became aware of the many ladies in the neighborhood who were working in tea houses or engaging in prostitution.

• 2005 阿真和兩位住在萬華的基督徒開始透過街頭探訪關懷婦女。
  Tera and two local Christians started visiting the women on the streets in Wanhua.

• 2006 阿真和同工在牛肉麵店舉行了第一個聖誕節活動。有許多受邀的婦女參加了聖誕派對。之後，每個月固定辦活動。
  With the help of a local church, Tera and her co-workers organized their first Christmas event at a beef noodle shop. Many of the invited ladies showed up to this Christmas party, so the team started organizing monthly events.

• 2008 一個宣教機構「內地會」租下了位於西昌街的公寓，正式成立「珍珠家園婦女中心」。除了平日的關懷，也外出郊遊或一同學習。透過如英文班、中文識字班、藝術課程、健康講座等活動和課程來促進身心靈全人發展，用新的眼光看「自己」，重新詮釋「人生」的意義。 至今，臺北一周有好幾天的聚會和活動。現在在基隆、新竹、臺中和高雄也都有同工，（珍珠據點）。
  The Pearl Family Garden Women's Center was set up in an apartment on Xichang Street and has been active in the community since then. Other than regular street visits, there are outings and classes offered. Through small group meetings, handicraft and art classes, life storybook workshops, Taiwanese Opera and other activities, we promote holistic growth (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) allowing our ladies to see themselves with new eyes when they discover the true meaning and purpose of life.

• 2024 珍珠家園已成立為「台灣基督教珍珠家園協會」。
  Pearl Family Garden was registered as Pearl Family Garden Association as a non-government organization.
