How One Person Helped Over 4,000

It all began with a local pastor encouraging his congregation to bring the good news to others through acts of love.

This is especially the case for our elderly poor, many of whom live in overcrowded apartment buildings and don’t even have funds for basic protections such as masks. This week I want to share with you a small miracle that occurred during my family’s stay back home in Malaysia which allowed us to serve Hong Kong’s elderly poor.
