What's New

Wai Ji Sunday 2022 was held at the Kowloon Union Church in the morning of Sunday, May 22^nd. Our service users and staff delivered two hymns, "God’s Grace Is So Beautiful" and "Don't Worry" through video recording. As our service users were unable to attend the worship due to the epidemic, a live broadcast was arranged to enable participation of about three hundred service users and staff.

In the worship, three frontline/managerial staff of our Agency shared by video their experiences during the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong. Hostel Assistant Ms. Ho Ka Man said that the Agency’s provision of short-term hotel accommodation to care workers had encouraged her to volunteer to work in the positive rapid antigen test result zone before anybody else. Unit Manager Mr. Choi Kai Yin remarked that the Agency deployed day service unit staff and granted allowances to staff to back up staff’s commitment to their duties. Community Rehabilitation Worker Mr. Wong Siu Chung stated that no service users infected with the disease were seriously ill or lost their lives. He firmly believed that this was attributable to God’s grace.

Our director Rev. Phyllis Wong gave the congregation a sermon based on verses from Chapter 14 of the Gospel of John. She pointed out that God had conferred us a complete peacefulness and that, in spite of the high transmissibility of the new coronavirus, the enthusiasm shown by Wai Ji’s staff in serving the disadvantaged had helped people to overcome their fears over it and inspired other working personnel engaged in fighting it. Thanks to God, Wai Ji had passed through the adversity.

Mr. Peter Leung, Chairperson of our Board of Directors, prayed for all the directors, managerial staff and frontline staff. He prayed that might God grant them power so that they could have the wisdom needed to meet the challenges in the coming year and the service quality of the Agency could continue to be enhanced. He also prayed that might God comfort the hearts of those who had lost their relatives or friends in the epidemic.
