It's Christmas Time...

Wow! It's Christmas time again, and what an exciting time it is! The malls are decked out with beautiful decorations, and over the buzz of activity you can hear Christmas carols being broadcast through the sound system of every mall in town. Since 2010 you may have also had the privilege of seeing real people singing carols in the streets of Hong Kong. Many of them are not just doing it for fun but because they want to raise funds for underprivileged children.

Santa's Surprise

Children from families that have migrated to Hong Kong from mainland China frequently find themselves at a disadvantage in our community.

It’s Carnival Time!

Wah-chun and Sai-sai are much better off now that they have been absorbed into the community built by faithful volunteers.

This weekend, November 24th & 25th, Christian Action will be joining forces with International Christian Assemblies at a carnival celebrating the diversity of cultures that make Hong Kong a vibrant and exciting world class city. We've called the carnival One People One City. But whenever we celebrate the benefits of living here, we must also remember the suffering of those who 'fall between the cracks' in our communities.
