The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

John 1:9 NIV

We see that the world is full of darkness – pain, sadness, violence, chaos – but in the midst of it Jesus’ light brings healing, joy, and peace!

In 2023, we have seen the light of Christ illuminating the darkness as we have ministered to the needy and destitute, taught God’s unwavering truth to the youth of Hong Kong, imparted God’s heart of compassion to others and traveled to other nations to share the Good News. And not only this, but we have seen people joining us across generations, from little children to the elderly, and from different nations to serve alongside us and shine God's light and multiply our impact in this city.

We count our work as a great privilege and also invite you to get involved! Come and volunteer short-term or long-term, send a team, or enroll in the Bible Core Course this February or a Discipleship Training School! If you are not able to come, we invite you to support our ministry through prayer and to invest in the work that God is doing by giving a financial gift.

We praise God for all that He has done and the people that He has brought to be God's light for this city!
