Now a Special Administrative Region of China, this former Crown Colony has capitalism and wealth written all over it. ‘Made in Hong Kong’ is almost as familiar as ‘Made in China’ or ‘Made in Taiwan’ and whilst there was uncertainty in the time of the transfer of power to China, this 1,000 sq km of South-East Asia remains one of the world’s leading financial and trading centres. Christians of all persuasions are in a minority. Most people turn to Buddhism and Taoism.

There are currently about ten Brethren workers in Hong Kong involved with the local churches in:

Church based preaching, teaching and gospel outreach

Literature work: Christian bookstore, literature distribution, Emmaus correspondence courses, translation and distribution

Minority Groups: work among the Vietnamese boat people, Filipino immigrant workers

Schools work: government-aided schools but with complete freedom to present the gospel

Peace Medical Clinic

Orphan and child care in nearby provinces

Continued support of all the above activities

Evangelists and teachers

Schoolteachers

Humanitarian workers

As part of China, Hong Kong can be a base for work development in surrounding provinces.
