CA Provides Transformational Experience for Youth

Earlier this year, our Lo Kwee Seong On Tai Service Centre and Maryknoll Secondary School collaborated for the first time. The "Act upon Your Heart,” outreach project aimed to foster compassion and bridge the gap between generations through house visits!

A total of 30 grassroots households of elderly singles or couples, were paired with a student and an On Tai House Captain Volunteer acting as their buddies, to help them during the visits. Each home was then visited twice. Prior to the outreaches, students were tutored in active listening, in how to express interest in the life stories of others, and identify key takeaways from the conversations. The students were encouraged to give a small, handmade gift to show their "small acts of love" to connect with the elderly.

A Lesson In Overcoming

Chen Quan became an orphan when he was just fourteen and both of his parents passed away. He says that he would dream of his parents and wished so hard that he could be with them again. When he awoke, he would find the pillow soaked in tears, his sense of abandonment was overwhelming. He wondered if he would ever escape from this darkness.

Quan’s life turned around when a place became available at the Hainan Children's Home. As a Tibetan native with limited Putonghua language skills, he initially lacked the confidence to talk to other children and felt unsure about everything at the Children's Home. After days of being showered in love and care from everyone in the home, Quan started to open up, to let go of his past pain and begin filling his heart, with the love he was given.

CA’s Use of Virtual Reality Helps Corporations Boost Teamwork

Imagine a world where learning is no longer confined to the four walls of a classroom but extends far beyond them.

Traditional training methods often appeal to only certain kinds of learners. Not only does it lack a broad-based appeal, but the limited interactivity means that the human brain is less stimulated. This kind of learning is ineffective because the depth and breadth of what is learned, put into practice, and retained is therefore suboptimal.

Christian Action’s trainings are different. Corporations that use our services receive customized courses that uses virtual reality (VR). This is making a huge difference for the individual attendees and entire teams!

Rededicating Christian Action To The Lord

“See, I am doing a new thing! I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19.

When I was around 21 years old, I recognized that if I were to spend the entirety of my life following my ambitions, then my life’s work would be as meaningless as chasing after the wind. Instead, I saw that I was a sinner and that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, loved me and was sacrificed for my sins, so that I could spend eternity with Him. In gratitude, I dedicated my life to serving Him!

About 12 years later, in 1992, when I was appointed Christian Action's Executive Director, I asked God to bless my efforts and this Organization, so that we could continue to do good for mankind.

Together We Can Build a Better Tomorrow

In this second year of post-COVID economic recovery and growth, I am glad to see life in Hong Kong gradually getting back to pre-pandemic normalcy, especially for those in the middle and higher income groups. But this recovery is not the same for low-salary families, who are unable to take advantage of the economic rebound, instead they find themselves in a new financial crisis.

I always ask God to bless our efforts to help our service users. I was overjoyed then to find that my prayers were answered, when we were given the opportunity to launch the ‘Building Tomorrow Together’ campaign for the community, particularly those underprivileged individuals living in Sham Shui Po. The first event took place on 25th February 2024, at Shek Kip Mei Community Hall where goody bags and food gift packs were provided for 300 families in Sham Shui Po, to help them ride-out the numerous economic challenges.
