Sing Yin Secondary School to the Rescue

Love is a verb. It’s not a theory or emotion. We see it in the most famous bible passage in the world, John 3:16:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”.

Christian Action gives schools and organizations the opportunity to love others by volunteering with us. This can be done in and around our Head Office and also at many of our other locations throughout Hong Kong.

For them, shopping is a never ending daily grind of trying to provide for their loved ones.

Newsflash! We Won More Awards!

We have just been recognized by Hong Kong’s Education Department as the top training institute in all of Hong Kong for helping job-seekers re-enter the workforce!

This commendation is especially satisfying because the bar is so high. The Education Department has a stringent Qualifications Framework (QF) with seven different levels of academic, professional, and continuing education credentials. In our case this meant that every level of each of our classes in each of our service areas, was put through a demanding quality control screening and we came through with flying colors!
