In response to the rapid changes in society, Evangel Children\u2019s Home launched the “Youth Discipleship\u201d to guide the understanding of the gospel. On November 10th, the “2nd<\/sup> Chance in Life – Youth Ministry\u201d kick-off ceremony was held at CityLab in Jordan. Dr. Choi Yuen Wan, the President of “Youth Global Network”, Rev. Kenneth Sheck Kin Law, General Secretary of \u201cEvangelical Free Church of China\u201d, were the officiating guests with sharing sessions. At the event, eight elements of what the youth would need to kick start for a second new life stepping into the society were highlighted namely, knowledge, career development, gospel, connection, hope, residency, walking together, and funding. \u00a0These are as important as 8 glasses of water needed by a body. \u00a0A cup of cold water seems trivial, but with the support of different parties, the joint effort can help the youth from children\u2019s home to tide over the difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Kenneth Sheck Kin Law shared an important message at the kick-off ceremony, “Do you know how important you are?” He quoted the movie – The Lion King and reminded the youth that, \u201cevery youngster is a noble, the princess or prince in the Kingdom of God\u201d. Evangel Children\u2019s Home brings to God, the youth who are being neglected and without family support. Through 1 Peter 2:9, Pastor Law encouraged everyone to keep faithful in the chaotic times of today, seize the opportunity to work hard in spreading the gospel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Choi Yuen Wan said that he had always been admiring the work of the Evangel Children\u2019s Home, because there were many young people who seemed to have homes but did not really have family support. Evangel Children\u2019s Home has been providing these children with living and spiritual support. “2nd Chance in Life – Youth Ministry” is a service that truly walks with young people. Through guidance in life and faith, young people can find a “home”. When young people are blessed, they will also bring blessings to others in the future. Therefore, Dr. Choi called on all parties to donate and to contribute in supporting the ministry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the face of adversity in early childhood, children of the residential home have no choice of their born background of their \u201cFirst Life\u201d. With the support and the shepherding, they can be helped to kick start and advance themselves for a “second life”. \u00a0The ministry strives to provide transitional residence and co-living services to assist \u201cHome Youth\u201d in planning their careers; lead the experience of the gospel calling to gain abundance of life; through diversified training, nurture their growth and improve their social and professional skills, and enter the journey of discipleship. , Rev. Cheung Chung Ming, Consultant Pastor of Evangel Children\u2019s Home said: “The “Christian Education Course” to be open is to support the \u201cHome Youth\u201d to bear fruit and build a “purposeful\u201d life. The ministry connects with the Christian community network and practices “walking together, connecting and caring” so that young people can go to collaborated churches and continue to grow in “spiritual homes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
