New Beginnings!

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

After moving our headquarters to Choi Wan, we hoped to offer digital learning to the underprivileged. Unfortunately, the pandemic, lack of funding and appropriate partners hampered the development of that project. But as we know, God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform!

In August 2020, Christian Action invited Rev. Peter Ho, Co-Founder of Evangelical Free Church of China (EFCC) Tung Fook Church, and his wife Shirley Loo, to join a tour of our Choi Wan headquarters. The tour was led by the Project IC of Digital Learning Centre, Albert Lee. When they were leaving, Shirley asked whether we had any prayer requests. Albert told her of the need for our Digital Learning Centre.

Walking through the Storm

For the 8th consecutive year, our 3-Legged Charity Walk, in partnership with its title sponsor, HKBH Ambulatory Medical Centre, and in association with The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, was finally completed with fundraising results exceeding our expectations!

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the walk was extra special this year because there was an astonishing number of participants - 600 people supported the virtual walk in their own way, in order to raise money for the underprivileged families in Hong Kong, as well as the orphans and disabled children from Qinghai. Their enthusiasm showed us that love drives out fear. It also led us walking through the storm, and went far beyond physical boundaries.

Love Makes a Difference

Twenty years ago, a cute four-year-old girl from Xining Children's Home met her new parents for the first time. They had come from Cleveland Ohio to Xining. Since then, that little girl has grown into a beautiful young lady! She has been given love and care from her new parents and siblings - and their connection has been blest by God.

Meizi, or Esther Kershaw, was the first child from Xining Children’s Home to be adopted. She is a wonderful example of God’s grace. I have been sharing her updated story in this blog over the years, because I am encouraged by her journey, and I know you will also be encouraged.

1,500 Jobs for 700 Job Seekers!

The year-long COVID pandemic has not only robbed people of time with loved ones, it has also boosted the unemployment rate to 7.2 per cent. February saw the highest levels since 2004, at the height of SARS.

On 25 March, Christian Action revived our annual Job Fair at the Kwun Tong Community Centre. We offered 1,500 part-time and full time positions in restaurants, logistics, retail, aesthetics, healthcare and more. Salaries were as high as HK$25,000 for full-time and HK$95/hour for part-time employees! We welcomed those with a Primary Six-or-above education. Over 15 organisations conducted on-site interviews and recruitment. More than a few visitors who found jobs on the spot went home smiling!
