To Our Intrepid Team - Well Done!
Spring is quickly approaching and boy, am I thankful! This winter saw the coldest temperatures in Hong Kong in almost 60 years. Record lows sent many of Hong Kong's residents indoors, huddled next to their heaters, but not Christian Action!
As a polar vortex swept across Hong Kong, bringing temperatures down to 3 degrees Celsius, our Ethnic Minority (EM) community, along with a few cricket clubs, participated in the United Services Recreation Club (USRC) Cricket Section Charity Sixes.
CA's EM community was invited by the Sports Manager and Chief Coach at the USRC to be the sole beneficiary of the event! CA staff and youth ambassadors also joined the event and set up an outreach booth to share news about our EM services with those who attended, including other EM youth who were participating in the event.
I was away in Qinghai (experiencing even colder weather), but I'm so encouraged by the warm-hearted group of people who stepped out into the cold to spread the news about the ethnic minority culture and also promote our services to this sometimes forgotten group. Despite the freezing temperatures, CA was blessed to raise more than HK$10,000 during the event! Well done team!
Please pray for more opportunities to connect with the wider community, and bridge the divide between the Ethnic Minority community and Hong Kong society.
