Month: November 2025

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Evangel Children’s Home (ECH), hundreds of ECH Alumni (former residents) returned home for a joyful reunion. The ‘Alumni Homecoming Fun Day’ was successfully held on November 15, 2025. By God’s abundant grace, alumni and staff from different generations gathered together with the current children and staff to celebrate, strengthening the bonds of family love and jointly bearing witness to the Lord’s blessings on this 70th anniversary.

The Inheritance of Love

Former and current residents gathered together, with alumni bringing their families back to visit the homes filled with childhood memories. They were warmly welcomed by the new generation of children and the little robot “Xiao Bao”, creating a lively atmosphere. Fun Day exhibited memory pictures, time machine, booth games, children’s busking performances, and more, uniting ‘family members’ across different generations.

Many alumni and former colleagues made a special trip back from overseas to reunite, creating a heartwarming and touching scene.
