Christ is not an 18-Wheeler Truck!

From England, Marlon and I traveled to the 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Germany. I was honoured to attend as a representative of the Hong Kong Christian Council (HKCC) with HKCC’s Chairman, Rev. Wong Ka Fai, and Rev. Jennifer Leung, HKCC’s 2nd Vice-Chairperson.

As Marlon and I traveled to Germany we marveled at being stuck behind a large truck that had the word “CHRIST” emblazoned across it’s rear! I then noticed the numerals ‘9669’ in a smaller font - the same four digits that happen to be the extension number to my office on Christian Action’s switchboard! I took this to be Jesus’ reminder that He would be with us at this conference!

As Iron Sharpens Iron

‘As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.’
Proverbs 27:17
NIV

During my most recent trip to the UK, Marlon and I were blessed to catch-up with four very special ‘giants’ in my life. Their love of others and their love for God has left an indelible mark on the lives of so many people - not least of whom are Marlon and myself.

A Big Thank You to Christian Action UK Board Members and Supporters

It was with mixed emotions that Marlon and I caught up with Christian Action UK Board Members during my visit to the UK. CAUK became a registered charity in 2007 through the selfless hard work of former Hong Kong Board Members and supporters who had returned to the UK. They have devoted years of their life to raising awareness and donations for the orphaned, handicapped and abandoned children in Qinghai Province and they have decided that it is now time to close. They have done a stellar job, and I am forever grateful to them.

He Still Calls Me ‘Ma’!

I have recently returned from a trip to the UK and Germany during which so many amazing and rewarding experiences happened. One such experience was the opportunity to visit with Dan, whom I first met and helped back in 1987! Dan was a young, Vietnamese refugee living in one of Hong Kong’s many camps at the time, and I was running the Job Placement Unit of the Hong Kong Christian Aid for the Refugees (Christian Action’s former name)!
