International Outreach Opportunities
Island Moms has links with a number of organizations reaching out to those in poverty overseas. Moms in our group have been overseas to support some of these charities, and Moms from some of these charities have come to share with us at our Moms Group here in Hong Kong. Please take a look at their websites and remember them in prayer. If you are interested in supporting any of these charities feel free to either contact them directly, or email us and we can put you in touch. Once a term Island Moms holds a community service event in support of one of these charities. Once a year Moms in our group are involved in the Island ECC Family Outreach Trip to Cambodia to work directly with these charities. For more information on overseas trips please see the Overseas Outreach page on our church website.
