Evangel Children’s Home has taken care for children and teenagers from broken families for 67 years, serving more than 1,400 people and 1,300 families.  There are many touching stories among them. Some children who were adopted and started a new life overseas, came \u201chome\u201d when they grew up. They did remember their first home in Hong Kong and came back to look for “footprints of home”.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fung Sai-ming, who was adopted to live in Australia at the age of 9, started a new life.  Thanks to God’s protection and guidance, he settled down in Australia, met his wife and built their sweet home with children. Everyone was very happy for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footprints of Home<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every once in a while, Sai-ming visited Evangel Children’s Home and get with the Superintendent and staff. The pandemic has passed finally. Sai-ming made a special trip and took his family back to this “home”. He introduced his childhood life to his sons and relatives. Sai-ming, who is quite romantic, proposed to his wife under the big tree outside Evangel Children’s Home more than 10 years ago.  This really showed that this “home” did play an important role in his life. As a father, Sai-ming likes to bring his children to this \u201chome\u201d and let them learn more about his childhood life.  “Oh, this corridor\u2026, and that hall\u2026” – all places brought back many memories.  Returning to the scene of the marriage proposal, he even told the children about their parents’ love stories and interesting things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace his past and live a better tomorrow, Sai-ming always shows his\u00a0 positive attitude and energy. Through different eras, Evangel Children’s Home has expanded to provide comprehensive care and services for children from broken families or with special needs. We believe it is going to pass on through generations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
