First Class Citizens!

Who will look after my baby son when Marlon and I go to our separate workplaces? What shall I cook for dinner when I get home from work? How am I going to find time to clean my house, and go to the grocery store? How can I fit more hours into my day?

All these stresses were taken care of when God blessed me with a full-time domestic worker in our home. Hiring a helper greatly increases a family's flexibility and freedom as she takes care of many tasks, from cooking and cleaning to childcare.

A New Name, A New Country, A New Life!

We work so hard in Qinghai to create a family environment for our children, but ultimately, there's nothing like a forever family. So it's always a joy (tinged with sadness) when I see our adoptive children before they depart for their new country and a new life.

Come join us on the streets!

We've been granted a Flag Day by the Social Welfare Department, so on June 4 Christian Action staff and volunteers (we need more!) will be taking to the streets under the patronage of Celebrity Miss Corinna Chamberlain.

This is an early invitation to you to please buy one or more of our adorable stickers designed by our friend and artist, Jeanie Leung. Each sticker features a different blessing in English or Chinese. Each one aims to share the love of Christ who came and demonstrated his care for the poor, the sick, the disabled, and all who lived without hope. Your donation will help us to reach our target of HK$800,000 so that we can continue with our essential service to those less fortunate than ourselves.

The Lips To Smile

When a baby is unable to smile properly it's usually because the palate or lip hasn't formed properly during pregnancy. More important than the baby's inability to smile is the inability to feed properly, and later, not being able to speak properly.

Sadly, we've seen our fair share of cleft palates and lips in Qinghai because this birth defect is found mostly in remote or impoverished areas of the province. Many of these cases have gone untreated. Children who are born with this birth defect often face serious psychological and social issues as they grow older.

Knitting Together

The unity of the members of the early church is well recorded in the Bible. They knitted together as a loving community who obeyed the teaching of Jesus about helping the poor. Today, followers of Jesus continue to work together to help others - even those living on the Tibetan Plateau!
