Community at its Finest!

For the past seven years, the lives of many underprivileged children who were destined to become uneducated, unmotivated adults have been changed. Giving children self-esteem is one of the most valuable things we can do in life.

Strength in the Challenges

When one of our little ones is adopted from Qinghai, it's a great blessing to receive cheerful updates from their adoptive parents! Lulu's mother, Gina, sends us regular updates, and as I read each letter I share in the joy that Lulu brings to the world, with talents and gifts all her own.

She's had her fair share of struggles and now Lulu is in the midst of another one. While she has an incredible family to love and support her, I'm inviting you to please pray with us for her healing.

He knows what it's like not to have the privileges granted to other children in Hong Kong.

To celebrate our "Season of Love" charity drive in December, we asked our Facebook friends to choose their favourite hot drink from a list that included green tea, milk tea, chocolate and Ovaltine. We promised our friends that during the Christmas holiday, we would share the drinks they'd chosen with the children in Qinghai.

Touching Lives

For 30 years Christian Action has been serving the less fortunate in our community. We don't know how many lives have been changed, or how the quality of all those lives may have been changed by what we've said or done for all the people we've served, but it's always a delight to hear from some of those people.

Ms. Connie Yip, who recently received the Employees Retraining Board (ERB) Outstanding Award for Instructor at the 8th ERB "Manpower Development Scheme" Award Presentation Ceremony was one such person.
