"You shall regard the foreigner who resides among you as a native-born, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." (Leviticus 19:33-34)
 

Approximately 1,220,000-1,240,000 compatriots from the mainland have migrated to Hong Kong since 1997. Most of them come from grassroots families with relatively lower education levels. We have consistently engaged with them to gain a deeper understanding of their challenges. Economically, the majority of them experience highly unstable incomes, making it difficult to sustain their livelihoods. They also need to adapt to the differences in language, living environments, and culture while also caring for young children. As tensions between Hong Kong and the mainland, they are being labeled as exploiting social welfare resources and increasing societal burdens in Hong Kong. Entrusted with God’s love to care for the sojourners and the needy, Mission to New Arrivals see them as our neighbors whom we should love and cherish.

In order to address their needs, Mission To New Arrivals provides material support and assists them in adapting to life in Hong Kong. We partner with various churches and parachurch organizations to ensure that new arrivals from grassroots families receive the abundant salvation of Jesus Christ and we are encouraged to share the Gospel with their neighbors and compatriots.
