Legacy of our Father’s Love

I recently went to support the art exhibition of my dear friend, Angela Anita Wong. It is called, “Legacy of Father’s Love”. It not only honours her late father but also encourages people to enjoy a good relationship with our Heavenly and earthly fathers. Angela raises funds to support Hong Kong’s deprived communities. She donates some of the proceeds from the sales of her artwork to various charities.  Christian Action is one of the beneficiaries.

At the exhibition, Angela shared her moving story of estrangement and reunion with her earthly father, and her conversion to Christianity which connects her to our heavenly Father. Angela’s story is a journey in emotional healing. At the age of seven, Angela’s parents were divorced and she lost contact with her father. When Angela became a Christian, she struggled to find her way to God. She says, “I was deprived of paternal love so it hindered me from getting close to my heavenly Father.”

A Dignified Farewell 

Elderly volunteer attendees at the funeral.

We all know that death will end every life. Over the past 11 years, Jeffrey Andrews, social worker at our Centre for Refugees, has seen at least eight deaths in the refugee community. In Hong Kong, the unclaimed bodies of refugees are cremated and their ashes are simply discarded. That is a sad thought for Jeff’s clients. They naturally wonder if and when they will one day meet the same fate. Jeff says, “Some of the refugees have been here for over 10 years, so we are their family. I had to do something about this careless handling of the ashes.”
