The Power of Community

“When I was lost, she was always there for me. She listened intently and then helped me to see my challenges in a more positive light. She led me out of the woods and because of her, I am now a much stronger person.”

Shortly after immigrating to Hong Kong, Fong Fong was swindled out of nearly all her meagre savings. Then her husband passed away, leaving her and their young daughter practically penniless.

A Second Home

“I see myself in these children. Whenever they throw a tantrum while doing homework I tell them, ‘after you’ve grown up, you’ll know how great it is having someone to teach you and a place you can call home.’ I can’t thank Ms. Tam and Ms. Lee enough for the time they spent with me.” - Ben.

Doing God’s Good Work

I strongly believe that God created each one of us to do good work for His glory and that He has a job for everyone to do. For this reason I am elated that Christian Action has been helping individuals find gainful employment since 1993.

For example, Ms. Song is a middle aged woman whose daughter is in secondary school. Now that her daughter is older Ms. Song wanted to find full-time employment. She attended CA’s job fair in October, which our Training Services Division organised. Over 30 hiring companies and 1,000 job seekers attended the job fair.

#WorldAdoptionDay

9 November is World Adoption Day, which is a day to celebrate families brought together by adoption. It started in 2014 to raise awareness about adoption and to support families along the adoption journey.

I love that this holiday exists because we at Christian Action are very passionate about adoption and the importance of family. After all, we are all adopted by God as His children! I am a daughter of the King of Kings and I praise the Lord for this identity every day.

Before he joined Child Development Fund Project (CDF) in 2018, Arthur was a shy, timid and directionless teenager. Three years on, Arthur’s mother told us, “Christian Action’s CDF has molded my son into a more courageous grown-up. He has discovered what he is good at and now has a pathway to the career of his dreams. I am so thankful to Christian Action’s CDF project for giving him an opportunity to explore a local reputable firm. We are going to volunteer in community activities and pay it forward to those in need!”
