Harmony Outreach is a non-profit charity, established for the
purpose of blessing China and connecting people and organizations
from the West to this ancient country and her beautiful people.
Harmony’s work represents the collective blessings of people from
around the world who have all come together in a team effort to
reach out with hands of love and help to China.
Outreach to China's Orphans
We have established a home for abandoned and special needs orphans
which we call Harmony House. Our work is not just to save lives
so much as it is to transform their lives.

Our
goal is "to visit these orphans in their affliction" and
transform their tragic stories into beautiful stories of redemption
and love. We do this through our Three Steps to Hope program. Step
one is foster care at our children's home. Step two is surgery,
where we correct or mitigate their special needs conditions. Step
three is adoption to a loving family. Typically it takes about
two years for a child to graduate from our Three Steps to Hope
program. What is so exciting about this statistic is that it means
that on average, every year half the children in our care graduate!
And once a child graduates from our program and is adopted, we
take in another child to take his/her place so that we are able
to transform the lives of child after child.

Outreach to the Inland of China
There are a lot of great organizations working to
bring blessing and help to China. But due to the uneven pace of
development in China, much of this help comes to the major developed
cities of China like Beijing and Shanghai. There is an old saying
that it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
And so while the needs of China’s inland are vast, we are constantly
on the lookout for opportunities to light a candle in those places
in the inland which have been left behind the places where the
majority of the population dwells. Towards this end we have established
various works for the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged in Hebei,
Tianjin, Henan, and Qinghai provinces.
Outreach to the Chinese Government and Society
A lawyer by background, occasionally God calls on
us to reach out those elements of Chinese society which shape government
policy including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chinese Ambassador
in Washington DC, the Secretary General of the State Administration
of Religious Affairs (SARA), the Communist Party and the China
Association of Social Workers. Our goal is to bless and engage
the Chinese government by encouraging dialogue which will help
the government to realize its goal of "Promoting a Harmonious
Society". We also hope to improve the relationship between
China’s government and Christian organizations in the West and
to break down some of the suspicion that has divided these two
groups. One distinctive of Harmony Outreach is that our work with
the government is above-ground and respectful of their laws and
government.
