identifying the difference the

the circumstances of its

members’ offerings (tithe). Our objective is to further the
Christian belief among the Chinese community by running regular
Sunday worship, evangelical work among Chinese community
and guiding members’ spiritual growth based on God’s Word
through group Bible study.
The most part of 2020 has been impacted by the corona virus
pandemic. We had to provide our Sunday service on Zoom but
we never missed one service.
There were also quite a few students and family members who
joined the church through our evangelical ministry.
We also had the pleasure of welcoming Phil Morgan to join the
church as a ministry worker in charge of English group and
children’s ministry.| |---|---|---| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**|| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s
