Last week, I had the privilege to live stream one of the most meaningful non-profit organizations in Hong Kong.

International Care Ministries (ICM) had humble beginnings that started in 1992 and has grown from supporting a few pastors to a ministry which today serves hundreds of thousands of the poor spanning the islands of Negros, Bohol, Panay, Palawan, Cebu and Mindanao.

The banquet and auction was a combination of a night of celebration and an opportunity to share ICM’s achievements this past year to their donors and supporters. They shared stories of their work and progress of helping the ultra poor of the Philippines, and encouraged attendees to continue to give to the organization as they did before, with auctions of vacation destination packages, art pieces, and many other items donated by generous people and organizations around the world. That evening ICM raised a grand total of HK$15.2m (US$1.m) including HK$4.3m (US$550k) of matching funds.
