An open Invitation to all churches

Christian Action relies on churches to partner with us to tell the poorest people in Hong Kong the good news of the gospel. The children particularly need to build lasting relationships with Christians because the world of the poor is characterized by shortages: of attention, of time, of money and of space. Partnering with Christian Action is a way to serve the poor, just as Jesus did.

The children responded wholeheartedly at a summer camp held by one of our long-time partners, the Manna Ministry of International Christian Assembly, a church serving the international community in Hong Kong. Here's some of the feedback from Pastor So Kam Gee after Vacation Bible School, held at our Mong Kong Centre for New Arrivals.

In fact, many employers encourage domestic helpers to improve their skills, and some even pay course fees! But employing domestic helpers has its pitfalls, for both employers and employees.

A Miraculous Change

"It was a real miracle!" we may say about something that is unexpectedly surprising in our daily lives, but I believe that what we have seen in the life of little Matison Ling is far more than surprising. We have seen many children with congenital heart defects, and when Matison came to us as a newborn, it was very sad to hear, during a routine medical examination, that she had a congenital heart defect. She was placed in the care of foster parents, and it was the very best thing that we could have done for her.  They understood the power of prayer and prayed for Matison's full recovery.

A New View of HK

Free tickets to visit Ocean Park or Disneyland are one of those opportunities that cause great excitement among our students, but this summer we provided something a little different for them. When we partnered with the Kwong Wah Group Holdings Ltd and Glory Channel Limited for the 'Kids Love Hong Kong Art Campaign', the students discovered real places far more intriguing than the fantasy world of Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh...
