Evangel Children's Home, together with the Shining Life Charity and Eternity Music Ministry, proudly presented the "Homecoming" Charity Concert, which was successfully held on 19 September at the Jockey Club Auditorium of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This unforgettable concert spread a message of love and hope, touching the hearts of everyone present. We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors, partners, volunteers, and all guests who joined us in person or online for their wholehearted support in making this meaningful event possible.
Together with Jade Kwan: Healing Wounds, Inspiring Gratitude
The year 2026 marks significant milestones for three long-standing charitable partners: the 70th Anniversary of Evangel Children’s Home, the 10th Anniversary of Shining Life Charity, and the 40th Anniversary of Eternity Music Ministry. Under the theme “Love Is Eternal: Ignite Journey Home”, the organizations joined hands to build a brighter future for underprivileged children and young people.
We are deeply grateful to Jade Kwan for walking alongside the children of Evangel Children’s Home throughout the years. Her daughter, Jovia, also led the children in a heartwarming performance. Together with singers Kimman Wong, Karen Kong, Yanji Chan, and Eternal Music Ministry, they took the audience on a healing journey through their heartfelt music. Their performances helped create a sense of home and belonging for children who have lacked the warmth of family, filling the entire concert with love and compassion.
It is our hope that every child who comes into our care will one day find their way “home”, lay down their hurts, and no longer live in fear.
The children’s voices melted every heart as they sang… the lyrics “Thank You for Your Love” and “We Are Blessed to Have You by Our Side,” expressing their heartfelt gratitude to everyone for their love and support.
Jovia, Jade’s daughter, led the children from ECH in singing “Giving Thanks Everyday / I am Grateful”
A Moving Short Film Performance Touches Hearts
A short film featuring the children from our residential homes deeply moved the audience during the concert. One of the audiences even asked Ms. Law, our Superintendent, “The film was so well made. Were those professional actors/actresses?”
The answer is no. Every person featured in the film was one of our children, staff members, or mentors. The stories portrayed were drawn from their real-life experiences, making the film an authentic reflection of their journeys and the challenges they have overcome.
Audience Feedback: Where Love and Tears Meet
The concert received an overwhelmingly positive and heartfelt response from the audiences.
“I haven’t been moved to tears in a very long time.”
“I was deeply touched when I saw those alumni yesterday.”
“A high-quality concert filled with love.”
“I was so moved. Thank you so much for inviting me. It was truly a soul-cleansing evening.”
“Thank God for an amazing concert filled with love. It touched the heart from beginning to end, with everyone on stage and in the audience fully immersed in the experience.”
“Tonight’s concert was wonderful and deeply moving. God truly watched over everything.”
“So moving! Tonight’s concert was filled with love, faith, and perseverance. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication!”
“Congratulations on the big success! Really thankful for your kind invitation! Am strongly blessed and touched by the concert”
At the Concert Thanksgiving Gathering, we revisited memorable moments from that evening together. The children shared their excitement and nervousness about performing, while expressing heartfelt gratitude for the valuable opportunity provided by ECH to take part in the singing performance. They described the experience as one they would cherish for a lifetime. The children also thanked Jade Kwan for her guidance and encouragement, and joined in appealing for continued support through fundraising.
Jade Kwan encouraged the children to study hard and promised to return with Jovia for a special ice cream treat.
Fundraising for the Residential Home Building Improvement Project
Many children who come to Evangel Children’s Home have experienced trauma and hardship at a young age.
There is an urgent need to undertake the Residential Home Building Improvement Project to provide them with a safe, loving, and healing place they can truly call home.
Through the Homecoming Charity Concert, we raised funds to renovate and improve our residential home – to create a dream home where vulnerable children and youth can grow, heal, and thrive.
We are deeply grateful that many audience members were moved by the children’s stories and responded with generous donations. Their support is helping us turn this vision of a dream home into reality, and the fundraising campaign has made encouraging progress.
Thank you for fully support from Sunlife Volunteer Group
