Most of them are elderly people and there is no administrator intervention. We, are a great place to play group games. Until now, we have not asked much about this community. We only know that there are plans to rebuild this area, so the church hopes that after Tai Hang Sai Estate is rebuilt, it can serve the residents there.

Since this place has been abandoned for a long time and the building is about to be rebuilt, the residents on the left and right sides simply regard this place as a garbage collection point and throw away all their old furniture and electrical appliances here to save the effort of taking them to the garbage station on the street.

But there was a lot of rubbish, so they contacted the "Repair Hong Kong" volunteers who had been volunteering to help them repair electrical appliances to clean it up together. It is said that the volunteers spent at least seven full days of their spare time carrying the garbage in a human chain to clean up the large and small garbage. Now this place is very neat, painted with beautiful pictures, and has become a place for watching the sunset and for children to play. ...

Pastor Lin Guobin's spiritual training before the start of classes. Our school starts a new school year in August; every year we hold a three-day and two-night "spiritual training camp" to prepare teachers and students for the new school year. In January, we started the new school season with "Spiritual Exercise Day". We start the new school year and the new academic quarter with spiritual training camps and spiritual training days respectively, which are concrete actions to express that the college attaches great importance to the spiritual cultivation of teachers and students. A theologian said: "Praying without studying makes people empty; studying without praying makes people blind." For theological education, study and prayer are integrated with each other and cannot be separated. In the spiritual training camp, we learn to live in groups: worship together, listen to sermons together, and share with each other in groups. On the spiritual training day, there are different spiritual cultivation themes every year for teachers and students to learn, think and experience together. ...
