Hong Kong Harbour Mission Church

Hong Kong Harbour Mission Church was formerly a ship promoting Christian thoughts. The church also provided kindergarten and primary education for children from the fishermen community in the past. It is now functioned as a church and kindergarten, providing education for the community.

What is a ship promoting Christian thoughts? In the early 20th century, western missionaries came to Hong Kong to preach the gospel. Soon, they have encountered certain difficulties to preach the gospel to fishermen. As most of the fishermen lived on ships and boats most of the time, they seldom lived on the shore. The inconvenience in transportation makes attending assemblies on Sunday become difficult. Moreover, fishermen do not stay in a place for a long period of time, which makes the missionaries' work even harder. Therefore, the missionaries came up with the idea of "Gospel Ship" They would sail in Aberdeen Harbour and invite Fishermen to join the assemblies.
