Christian Action Donor Sponsors a Charity Movie Day for 130 of Our Children

"I signed up as soon as I saw the announcement. What impressed me was the final showdown, Ne Zha's perseverance, and the sacrifices he made to save his parents. Thank you Christian Action."

- Lin Lin, from our programme

Fun fact: when I was a young girl, movie tickets were given out during Children’s Day to kids of the public housing where I was brought up. It was the highlight of my year! To this day I can still remember watching Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music at the Coliseum theatre in Kuala Lumpur!

This Gloriously Unique Place and Season

Never, in the course of a year, is it okay to go all out in publicly wishing blessings to others as much as it is right now. With meals, gift-giving and carol services we celebrated Christmas and now, with Chinese New Year just around the corner, this season of spreading joy and love continues!

As a Malaysian living here, I cherish this unique blend of Western and Chinese festive traditions that are only found in Hong Kong. I love coming in to the office and seeing the vibrant red hues, the orange trees, and the fresh flowers. Fai Chun, red pieces of paper with handwritten four-character sayings that convey blessings and prosperity, decorate the entrances, hallways, and offices. It’s gorgeous!

A Thankful, Blessed and Grateful Christmas

As this year draws to a close my heart is overflowing with thanksgiving and joy for the Lord, the King of Kings, and Jesus, who is the real reason for Christmas.

This year began with a slew of challenges, and so, recalling the words of Psalm 32:8 ("I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eyes upon you”) I sought the Lord's counsel. He put on my heart to call for a Blessing and Dedication Service at Christian Action to encourage our staff to recommit themselves to the Lord and to do His will. We were also blessed by a local church who visited our headquarters and prayed for us.

The Remarkable Work of God in China

In June of this year Marlon and I were blessed to travel in China and witness God’s amazing work. We traveled as part of the Hong Kong Christian Council’s 70th Anniversary delegation and visited the CCC (China Christian Council) and TSPM (Three Self Patriotic Movement), historic churches and seminaries. In addition to seeing the breathtaking things God has accomplished in China, we also learned from our counterparts, who served the Kingdom of God with passion—halleluiah!

Rev. Xu Xiaohong, Chairman of the TSPM National Committee, warmly welcomed us to the Yanjing Theological Seminary in Beijing and discussed with us the topics of the Three-Self Principles and the sinicization of Christianity. In order for the churches in tHK and China to advance, we agreed that we needed to foster understanding between the two regions, in addition to developing Bible college students' intellectual prowess, religious literacy, and sense of social responsibility. What an inspiring first day!

Mooncakes for Change!

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of Hong Kong's most significant festivals, a time to reunite with family and participate in exciting festivities such as mooncakes and lighting lanterns. But for those who live below the poverty line they are increasingly unable to afford the holiday because prices have increased so drastically.

To help the Kowloon East's elderly and underprivileged from missing out on the traditional celebration, Christian Action organised two wonderful Mid-Autumn events and invited 240 Kowloon East citizens. Dubbed the "Mid-Autumn Festival blessing our neighbors,” the first event was held on 2 September, 2024, at our CAC headquarters and celebrated the 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China's founding. Mr. Li Yong Zhan, Director of the Coordination Department at the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, was our honored guest and gave an inspirational address. The highlight of the afternoon was the "happy gift giving," during which the District Officers from the Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin districts gave each participant a 5-kg bag of rice and a mooncake.
