Eva Chan, Resources Development and Communication Manager, had been working in the business fields for long. But then she had turned her back on highly paid jobs and moved to work in the social welfare sector. She relinquished the mentality of creating “wants” based on materialistic values that her previous jobs promoted fundamentally. In response to God’s call, Eva joined Evangel Children’s Home (ECH) and is committed to finding the resources needed for services that can bless the children and youth in need. What she has gained is her life being fuller and more meaningful. Eva cried and laughed with the home children together. She has also witnessed the change upon the help from the caring parties and supporters. In the COVID-19 pandemic, friendship with selfless love is connected together under the grace of God.

In retrospect to her experience of early family adversity when she was a teenager, Eva felt thankful that the fellowship mentor accompanied with her during hard time and introduced gospel to her. When she meets the youth who have suffered from childhood trauma, Eva understands well how helpless they are due to family crisis, issues and their broken family background. She is most anxious to meet their needs and is committed to find appropriate resources so as to provide a stable environment for the youth to grow and thrive. More resources could help them live out their second life.
Affected by the social situations and the pandemic in recent years, the organization has encountered unprecedented difficulties in fund raising. There was donor who had suspended monthly donations due to unemployment. However, it was touching that she emphasized to resume as soon as she got a job. Eva experienced God’s supply in appropriate timing when there was lack of resources. She was so glad that there were brothers and sisters in Christ and other supporters always went along with ECH. Looking ahead at the big challenges in fund raising affected by the adverse economic situations, she will work hard to overcome difficulties. This is to meet the needs for the growth of the home children and youth. She fully entrusts to God’s hands to nurture more “seeds” to sprout.
“I hope to see home children who were sad and helpless when moving in, to be changed to happy and grateful with gospel in their hearts when moving out!” This is Eva’s wish.
