When fate steps in

I deeply appreciate the contribution of dedicated staff and volunteers who constitute the engine room of Christian Action.

Learning to be thankful

Every year, Christian Action encourages friends to visit Xining Children's Home, play with the children, and love them.

These are small gestures but they make a big difference in Xining. But the difference made in the lives of the visitors is also a big blessing.
