Some parents having many kids, might not be able to afford taking care of all children financially. Or, some parents died in their early ages.\u00a0 Ms. Ruth Sundquist, an American missionary, a lady from foreign land afar, realized that many orphans lived in the poverty of both material and spiritual at that time, and they could not get enough food, clothing and care.\u00a0<\/p><h2><strong>Changing with the Times Passing on the Mission<\/strong><\/h2><p>With the changes in society, the number of orphans is decreasing. Today, most of the children referred by the Social Welfare Department to the Evangel Children&#8217;s Home are deprived of proper care due to their parents\u2019 suffering from physical and mental problems, family problems and various difficulties. Since its establishment, ECH has been fulfilling its big mission by providing &#8220;Children&#8217;s Home Care Service&#8221;. In the 2000s, ECH continued to develop new services to cater for the needs of the society. After the completion of the new building in 2012, the &#8220;Children&#8217;s Day Care Service&#8221; and &#8220;Youth Home with Career Guide and Counseling Service&#8221; were added. In recent years, there was further expansion on \u201cYouth Home Service\u201d meanwhile the beneficiaries\u2019 age range and service quotas were expanded in response to the changing needs of the times.<\/p><p>From generation to generation, Evangel Children\u2019s Home has been passing on the spirit of selfless love that comes from the scarifying love of Christ.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-242a1ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"242a1ff\"
