Christian New Life Association was built from an obsolete pig
farm with the vision of accepting God's calling. To date with nine full-time
co-workers and more than forty clients in the New Life Training Camp, a
half-way hostel and the in-town general office & counseling center, all
of these are to witness God's doing a new thing of "making a way in the
desert and streams in the wasteland." Traveling through the desert is not short in distance and not
easy. Abundant blessings are ahead when tough times have passed. This is
God's will and our hope and also the foreseeable future from prayers of many
people. We do not discard the vision from Heaven and we do pray to have many
of you sharing the same vision as our supporters, prayer partners, and our
co-workers. In the past year, we were actually building from nothing. It
was tough but plentiful results encouraged us very much. Non-stop evangelical
meetings, personal counseling, discussion in meetings and conferences led us
to see the rehabilitated drug dependents faithfulness in Gospel,
life-changing behavior. All of us could experience God's abundant provisions,
guidance and blessings.
Difficulties are hitting us in all walks of life; we all need
to face more challenges and tension. Pastoral care and directions are widely
in demand. In recent years, the problem of psychotropic substance and drug
abuse has become an increasing threat to our society, so our Association will
continue to follow God's calling to express His love to those people who are
"poor" in Spirit, to accept them into the family of God. The New Life Training Camp itself is not a panacea. We have to
partner with churches and the Government to provide integrated services to
the drug dependents. I am thankful to the Narcotics Division and Social
Welfare Department to provide support and assistance in the year of 2002,
particularly in the licensing issue. Moreover, I wish to express my heartfelt
appreciation to those un-named individuals who generously donated and
voluntarily helped in various aspects to the Association. Apart from those
man hours and donations, greetings, encouragement and prayers came to move me
deeply. My thanks also to Mr. Sam Cheng and the co-workers, who have been
doing a great job maintaining the smooth operation of the Association. May God strengthen His job and give blessings to His beloved
ones.
