#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.

How One Mentor Changed A Teenager’s Life

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!”

Safeguarding our Refugee Children

The children of refugees and asylum seekers are one of the most vulnerable groups that Christian Action serves in Hong Kong. Just as Jesus cared for the children who were brought to him in Mark 10, we must protect the approximately 150 refugee children our Centre for Refugees (CFR) currently interacts with.

We are pleased to have partnered with the international NGO Save The Children in adopting their Child Safeguarding Policies. These have been implemented in all of Christian Action's programmes to ensure a culture of awareness, accountability and cooperation. Every volunteer and intern must read and sign the Child Safeguarding Policy before serving our refugee children.

A New Branch for our Birds!

Praise God that we recently opened our third Community Sales Outlet! It will serve underprivileged groups and neighbourhood residents. It is another “branch” of our “mustard tree” where “birds” can perch. Trees can and do grow from the smallest seeds! (Matthew 13:31-32) How beautiful is the Kingdom of God?

Food Station Festivities

A huge smile spread across Cody’s face as he received a mooncake. It was the first time he had ever been given a mooncake. It was as big as his hand! Before his mother said a word, Cody ripped open the package and gobbled up the mooncake. His mother laughed and said, “We need to save the mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival!” But Cody simply looked at her in wonder - he loved his mooncake!

Mooncakes and other traditional festive foods are delicious delicacies that cost the same as a meal for a family of three. Most underprivileged families, like Cody’s family, cannot afford these traditional festival foods and have never even tasted them. Cody and his mother left our centre with hands full with mooncakes and hearts filled with gratitude.
