Your Great Work!

For over ten years we have been serving children by building schools, clinics and homes for the rural poor on Qinghai province's Tibetan Plateau. We have worked especially hard for abandoned, orphaned and handicapped children. Christian Action does everything from arranging surgeries, to co-managing orphanages and the province's first and only Children's Rehab Center for the handicapped. We have been blessed to see our children adopted and placed in foster families and all of this is thanks to supporters like you. Thank you!

I want to thank you very much if you are one of the people sharing the information on this blog with others. Great work!

Last week I had a surprising meeting with two consultants who learned of Christian Action's work for the first time after hearing from their friend, Jack Yeung, about the course we ran for our staff, called Character First.

One of them is well-known in Hong Kong as an expert in helping corporations to train and encourage very senior staff. We discussed Character First, but for me the most uplifting part of our meeting was that they were convinced we are doing God's work. They were so impressed that we should bother going to such a remote place as Qinghai to serve the poorest of the poor! In fact one of them said that our work has inspired him to start serving a specific group of children in need in Hong Kong that God had been prompting him to serve ! He said jokingly that he has been depressed about the economic outlook but what we are doing in China lit up his day!

They also said they were impressed that Christian Action has been doing this work faithfully and without fan fare for 12 years. This is an encouraging compliment from someone who advises CEO's of large corporations and was himself a 'big shot' in a very well known multinational company.

It's also humbling that he has offered to be an advisor on the materials we develop for use when training the staff of corporations in Hong Kong. He also offered a wonderful solution for continuing our own internal character development for staff . This will be an enormous help to Christian Action.

So thank YOU again for your commitment to God's work in China. I appreciate your partnership very much. Keep on emailing this to your friends !

God bless you,
