The Hong Kong Christian Kun Sun Association (KSA)<\/span> has been serving in Hong Kong for forty-eight years and has witnessed the life transformation of many incarcerated individuals, including serious offenders. Through KSA\u2019s dedicated nurturing and guidance, they have turned away from crime and begun living meaningful lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

One key reason they are able to bear such good fruit is the presence of our \u201cformerly incarcerated\u201d co-workers. Having personally gone through the entire rehabilitation process themselves, they possess a deep understanding of the needs of those who have been through similar experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, KSA is committed to employing rehabilitated persons, hoping to demonstrate to the wider community the value they can bring to an organization. Employment allows them to fulfill their potential, and through their unique professional knowledge and life experience, they make significant and professional contributions to our work.<\/span><\/p>\n

They have a passionate concern for others and a strong desire to see other people\u2019s lives changed just as their own were. This zeal gives them a firm empathy and enables them to offer targeted and effective guidance to friends who are still in the process of rehabilitation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past, they were considered social problems that had to be imprisoned; today, they have become a blessing, helping to heal society. As Paul wrote about Onesimus in Philemon 1:11: \u201cFormerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As we enter 2026, Hong Kong\u2019s economy continues to face ongoing challenges. We greatly need your prayers, continued giving, and support. For this reason, we are writing to you specially to invite everyone to make a donation in support of our formerly incarcerated co-workers whom we employ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for your love and generosity. May our Heavenly Father bless you abundantly!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rev. CHOW Wing-fu<\/span><\/p>\n

Chairman of the Board<\/span><\/p>\n

At 17 years old, I went astray because of drug use and ended up going in and out of prison multiple times.<\/span> During my last incarceration, I attended the religious classes run by KSA in prison. Through the caring support of their co-workers, I made the decision to repent and turn to Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

After my release, I moved into the women\u2019s hostel. Under the loving care of the hostel supervisor, I began to rebuild my life and studied diligently. Later, I even became a volunteer hostel supervisor, helping new sisters adjust to life there. For the past nine years, I have lived together with the sisters, supporting and encouraging one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to KSA for giving me this opportunity. Today, I am a full-time hostel supervisor, and I hope to witness the sisters experience the same life transformation and hope that I have received.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
