ECH 70th Anniversary Animated Story | Let the Little Children Come to Me

Guided by our founding aspiration, “Let the little children come to me,” Evangel Children’s Home (ECH) is deeply grateful for “Love • Wholeness • Completeness.” To commemorate our 70th anniversary, we have created an animated story featuring the little sheep, the shepherd, and the Tree of Life.

70 years ago, a little seed drifted from afar and landed on the soil of Hong Kong. It took root in this land and grew into a great tree, sheltering and caring for wounded little sheep. Later, adhering to our original calling to pass on the love, the ECH shepherds nurtured the little sheep in love, and before we knew it, they had thrived and grown strong.

In this Home, our co-workers pass on “family love”, together with our supporters, we nurture and build up the children, enabling them to embrace a “fulfilling life” and “wholeness of life.”

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

ECH 70th Anniversary | Thanksgiving Worship Service

Evangel Children’s Home 70th Anniversary Thanksgiving Worship Service was held on July 4th at E.F.C.C. – Kong Fook Church. Nearly 400 people gathered to witness the abundance of the Lord’s grace. Church partners and supporters, along with all the children, alumni and staff joined together to praise the Lord. The messages and testimonies shared were deeply moving. Following the worship, a new logo launch ceremony was held, unveiling the brand-new logo icons for Evangel Children’s Home as we step into a new chapter together.

Officiating guests included Rev. Dr. John Tran, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Evangelical Free Church of China, and Rev. Dr. Peter Lam, Senior Pastor of E.F.C.C. – Kong Fook Church. Rev. Chan’s sermon led everyone to reflect on the meaning of “Let the little children come to me.” The testimony from guest speaker Ms. Ma, Preacher, who grew from a resident of ECH to a Preacher, was truly inspiring, showcasing the Lord’s work in her life.

We are grateful to the Lord for using Evangel Children’s Home to bless countless traumatised children over the past 70 years. We are also thankful for inspiring so many brothers and sisters in Christ to walk alongside us, work with us, and build this home together, transforming lives through love for the glory of God and the benefit of others.

Presenting Hand-copied Bible From The Bottom of Our Heart

At ECH 70th Anniversary Thanksgiving Worship Service, we presented a thanksgiving offering to the Lord through a hand-copied Bible. This initiative encouraged us to transcribe the scriptures, expressing our deep desire for God’s truth. Through copying verses and drawing illustrations, our staff and children found peace, meditated on the Lord’s word, and drew closer to Him. A commemorative hand-copied Bible was presented as a gift to our Heavenly Father. This act of transcription also bore witness to God’s presence. One staff shared that he drew a passage from the year he was called to ministry, reawakening his calling. Another drew the passage that moved her to be baptised, strengthening her faith once more. Others received their favourite verses, leading to much reflection and gratitude among the staff.

"Let the Little Children Come to Me" & "Finding for the Lost Sheep"

Mr. Chau Yin Ming, Francis, Vice-chairman of the Board of Directors of Evangel Children’s Home, shared a scripture reading from the Gospel of Matthew concerning the treatment of children, which complemented Rev. Chan‘s sermon.

Whoever humbles himself like a little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. We should not look down on children but rather learn to turn and become like them, setting an example of humility. For woe to the one who causes a child to stumble!

For the Son of Man came to save the lost. If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, he will surely not leave the ninety-nine to search for the lost one. This is the mission that Evangel Children’s Home has always upheld.

"A Love That is Wholesome" - Testimony from Alumna Preacher Ma

A former resident of ECH, affectionately known as “Miss Ma,” grew up in an environment of love and affirmation and has now become a preacher. She is grateful that her calling began at Evangel Children’s Home, where she truly came to know God. Looking back at her life in ECH, she credits the boundless love and affirmation from the house parents and staff for shaping who she is today. It was the repeated invitations from her fellow children that brought her before God. During her first evening prayer session at ECH, she felt safe enough to honestly share her childhood experiences with her “family” there, something she had never dared to voice before. The children who comforted her, the house parents who embraced her, and the tears they shed for her that night showed her a love that comes from God.

ECH 70-Person Choir Praises the Lord

A 70-person choir and handbell team, composed of directors, children, alumni, current and former staff, united to sing to express their heartfelt gratitude for being part of this home. All glory belongs to God, for God is love! God is the most important and profound part of our home!.

New Logo Launch Ceremony: Unveiling a New Era

Rev. Dr. Peter Lam and Rev. Dr. John Tran, together with representatives of alumni Mr. Yip Yuk Lun and Ms. Wong Kwai Kuen, and a current resident, unveiled our new logo, heralding a new era. The design elements of the new logo incorporate “Care, Companionship, Cultivation” symbolising that in grace and love, children growing healthy and joyful toward a wholesome life that glorifies our Lord and blessing people.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving for 70 Years

In the 1950s: We thank God for leading Miss Ruth Sundquist to Hong Kong to establish Evangel Children’s Home.

In the 1960s: We thank God for the many E.F.C.C. churches from overseas and Hong Kong that supported the gospel work of ECH.

In the 1970s: We thank God for the many house parents and older brothers and sisters from the church who loved us, helping us to grow continually in Christ.

In the 1980s: As Hong Kong’s economy took off, we thank the Lord for His abundant provision, praying, “May our home be better.”

In the 1990s: As Hong Kong returned to the motherland, O Lord, we thank You for allowing us to continue spreading Your love and “adding a little more love to this home.”

Entering the new millennium: We thank You, Lord! We love because You first loved us. May our home be full of faith, hope, and love, passed down from one generation to the next, “passing on the flame of love in our family”!

In 2026, our 70th Platinum Jubilee: We pray for the Lord’s guidance as we enter the AI era, embracing new times and new challenges!

May we carry on the spirit of selfless love, learned from Jesus Christ, as exemplified by our founder, Miss Ruth Sundquist. May we lead generation after generation of children to transform their lives and care for the lost sheep. May this home bear much fruit and nurture many more “Preacher Ma” to glorify our Lord and blessing people.

《ECH Youth Sharing “Find a Good Home in Town”》

A group of young people in lack of family support started to live independently and found their “good home” in ECH Youth Home. In addition to providing transitional accommodation support, ECH Youth Home also supports them in life planning and career counseling through the “2nd Chance in Life – Transitional Sponsorship Program”. This can help the youth find their own direction. Just like seeing silver lining, the former residents can seek for their future.

Former residents’ sharing

Believe there is a way out, by Eric

I had just finished my DSE exam and felt lost. I found my direction here! This home built me up and made me a more confident and self-managed person.

A reliable “family”, by Hilary

Since I moved into this youth home, I have a “home” with many “family members” to share my worries and difficulties. In addition, some subsidy fund allowed me to start saving and reduced my worries about the future.

Becoming a better me step by step, by June

I am more cheerful and confident now than when I first moved in. Thanks to the “2nd Chance in Life – Transitional Sponsorship Program”. I learned to plan for my future. When I wanted to give up, I was fortunate to have the support and encouragement from my mentors and young residents here, so I didn’t get lost. I am very grateful to live in ECH Youth Home.

Affordable Accommodation as “Start-Up” Assistance, by Ho-man

As a fresh graduate student, I was very financially strapped. I had to bear all my own expenses for clothing, food, housing, transportation, and tuition fees, which give me a lot of pressure. Living in ECH Youth Home has solved the dilemma of having to pay expensive rent (HK$7,000 can only live in a subdivided room). I only needed around HK$2,000 a month to pay for dormitory expenses include operating expenses and sundries. What was even more touching was that there were also various allowances, like accommodation allowances, student allowances and other assistance, which perfectly matched my needs.

Career Development, Counseling and Advance Training, by Laura

The Youth Home provided me a convenient and stable environment, which allowed me to think about the future. I did not have to live in a place under “complicated circumstance”. The service provides life coaching and career planning, which would be helpful for young people to go upstream and pushed me to pursue my dream bravely and become a registered nurse.

Find the way, by Kyle

ECH mentor introduced a job to me, and gave me advice about my future direction at work. By staying with young people, I learned how to get along with others, and also how to save money.

This is a right decision, by Gary

This is a place full of love. My mentor taught me how to find a job by learning practical skill of interview. He also helped me to develop the habit of saving through a savings plan. He taught me how to understand myself and how to deal with stress. He also taught me how to make desserts and makeup myself. There, I also got to know Victor – my good brother, friend and roommate.

Find the warmth and love of home, by Lynn

The biggest gain for me, from living here (the Youth Home) for two years, is to learn how to get along with a group of young peoples similar to me. With a total of 12 girls living in 6 rooms, we would cook together and encourage each other in daily life. During this process, I felt a “kind of family” which my original family could not give me.

Go through the difficult stage, by Icy

This place really feels like home to me! At that hard time, I felt confused and panicked because I had no support from my family, and I was in a negative mood. ECH helped me transition through a very difficult stage in my life. I was provided a lot of support and learned how to cook and take care of myself. Even I left for around 10 years, my mentor continues to help me, encouraging me to participate in different interest classes, accompanying, listening and coaching my soul. So I changed to serve in an NGO finally, hoping to use my own experience to help children in needs, and determined to influence lives with my life.

The Platinum Jubilee Gala Dinner marked the premiere of the groundbreaking series ‘70 Life Stories Short Films,’ a tribute to the rich grace bestowed upon Evangel Children’s Home over its 70 years. With “Love” carried forward by past and present staff, alumni and children embrace a “Fulfilled” life.

He also invited fellow ambassador Ms. Jade Kwan to sing his favorite Hymn song “What Logic is This?”, that helps people facing adversity in life, to everyone present, wishing the precious ECH children to meet God in their lives and move towards a better future.

Heartfelt Sharing on Stage by Overseas Alumni

First-generation alumni, big brother Paul and big sister Annette, shared their experiences of “Inheriting Mission of ECH Founder Miss Ruth Sundquist”; alumni Sai-ming shared “This is My Home – Tracing My Origin”; and alumni Chan Chun Wai shared “A Life of Following God”. Their expressions of gratitude were deeply moving.

Flash Memory 70 Years of Happy Childhood

Various games brought back memories of the past, evoking collective nostalgia: including children played in the pool under the care of Miss Sunquist; kids riding bicycles in front of the main gate; playful costumes at joyful Summer Night party; and today’s children enjoying summer water celebrations. It felt like traveling through time, with laughter echoing throughout.

Across more than half a century, we are grateful for all who have left footprints of love at Evangel Children’s Home. Their legacy has weaved bonding of family love and grace that reaches across the world, united in celebrating the 70th anniversary — Love · Fulfillment · Wholeness.
