As Chinese New Year approaches, I'm sure you are just as excited as I am about the coming family reunions and delicious festive foods. But while we spend quality time with our loved ones, all of us wearing warm winter clothes and counting our blessings, we must not forget about those who are less fortunate.

At Christian Action, our greatest assets are our employees. Many have endured SARS in 2003, the 2008 global financial crisis, social unrest, the COVID-19 pandemic and so much more, in order to bring help to those in need.

My career at Christian Action began in 1987 with a heavy focus on job training and placements. At first, it was for Vietnamese refugees, then for Hong Kong’s factory workers. Since 1994, Christian Action has been an official partner of the Employees Retraining Board (ERB). We aim to enhance the employability of Hong Kong’s unemployed through vocational training, and therefore help them re-enter the workforce.
In October 2019, ERB launched the Love Upgrading Special Scheme. It was commissioned by the Government to support those who were out of work. This new scheme has expanded its target and now includes those who are underemployed or required to take no-pay leave due to Hong Kong’s economic downturn. Since the programme began, Christian Action has offered 88 courses, covering different industries and areas of vocational skills, such as electrical and mechanical services, beauty therapy and social services.

When I had my lucid dream in 1993, I understood it as God calling me to save the unwanted babies in China. At that time, I had no important contacts in the mainland and could not read Chinese. Setting up a Christian children’s home in Qinghai seemed to be an impossible dream.
After over 20 years of service, Christian Action now co-manages four children’s homes in Qinghai province, and our child welfare service continues to grow. I am thrilled to tell you that our new Xining Children’s Home (XNCH) opened its doors in December 2020! We should indeed praise the Lord!

God is helping us through another challenge as the fourth wave of COVID-19 hits Hong Kong. We wanted our vulnerable clients to spend Christmas under a safe roof, and we wanted them to welcome a new year with us.
Home, for most of us, is a haven against the virus, but it is not so for many of our clients. They live in mouldy, cramped subdivided units that are often overcrowded. These risky living areas are a reality for asylum seekers, single parents, young couples, and new arrivals from Mainland China who may not have the luxury of working from home. The outbreak among domestic workers who still frequent populated markets and shops, has added another demographic to this high-risk group.
