By Professor Wai-Fung Lam and Dr Elaine Chan, ExCEL3 Project, Faculty of Social Sciences, The University of Hong Kong
The case of Haven of Hope Christian Service tells how a faith-based organisation can stay true to its founding mission and values while responding to the tremendous growth of the community it serves. It tells how committed leaders, managers and staff integrate medical and social services to help comfort people in need, physically and spiritually.
