An organ recital on May 20th, 2007, at Church of All Nations, Hong Kong, attracted generous people eager to help develop high-potential young Christians as tomorrow's leaders through CAF's scholarship programme. Music lovers traveled up to two hours by public transport on a stormy Sunday evening to hear some of the world's greatest sacred organ music, a rare treat in Hong Kong. Thousands of US dollars were raised for the Christian Arts Foundation scholarship fund.
The happy atmosphere of the evening continued at a reception following the recital that lasted as long as the recital itself.
