Blessings All Around!

Pan Xue Yan was brought into our Children's Home in Xining with partially formed ears. Like the other sweet little ones who have come into our care, she made the long journey from Xining to Hong Kong to receive quality medical care.

During her six week stay, she was fostered by Seth and Christina Kim, who pastor the Harvest Mission Community Church in Hung Hom. Christina wrote the following letter about her time as Pan Xue Yan's foster mum.

Our floriculture students are blossoming!

Have you ever planted a seed and watched it grow? When the first green shoot appears it's an incredible marvel - a miracle that such a small seed will provide all that's needed to produce a new life.

Celebrating Hans' 80th birthday with other members of The Refugee Concern Network

From Clutter to Community

Early in 2000 after I de-cluttered my wardrobe I didn't know what to do with the clothes I no longer wore. Throwing away good clothes seemed wasteful so I put them in cartons to deal with later.
