Together, We Can Make a Change, One Mooncake at a Time
“But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed.” Luke 14:13-14a. (NIV)
Dear friend, Everyone who knows me knows that I just cannot pass-up a good deal. My reasoning is: ‘why pay more for something later on, when I can get it right now for cheaper?!' Not only is it more fiscally responsible, but it also saves me the stress and hassle of shopping later on!
Soon we will all be sitting at our respective dining tables and savoring the blessings of family at our Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. It is a time to give thanks. The good news is that Christian Action has a Special Offer on mooncake pricing!
The Special Offer for a gifted box of 4 traditional White Lotus Paste Double Yolk Mooncakes from Tai Tung Bakery is just $239 and the new low-sugar version is $259. These prices are only available for a limited time and while supplies last, so please order now! Prices will return to market rate (HK$258 and HK$279 respectively) on September 7th 2023 so click here and order now!
Man Man lives with her single mother who work two jobs in order to make ends meet. Their subdivided apartment is a small, poorly ventilated room. Although she is only in Primary 5, Man Man’s poverty already constrains her at every turn: at home she struggles with the total lack of privacy, and at school she can’t join in many of the fun, extracurricular activities, because they cannot afford them. But there is some good news, which is that she is in Christian Action’s after-school activities, a Program that is funded in part by your purchase of Mooncakes!
Christian Action’s "Gather with a Grateful Heart" mooncake campaign will not solve Hong Kong’s problems. But for every person and family who is weary and heavy burdened, the mooncakes are a reminder that they are not alone, that they are loved, and that there is reason to hope!
Lastly, me and my family are doing something special for Mid-Autumn Festival this year. We will be making a donation so that a needy family can have mooncakes as a part of their celebrations. It will give us great joy to know that as we enjoy our mooncakes, a needy family in Hong Kong will be enjoying mooncakes at the same time. Please join us by clicking here for details!
God bless you! Siew Mei
