An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the ange! said to them, “Do not be afraid. | bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”” Luke 2:8-11 The angel said, ‘do not be afraid because | bring good news which will make all people rejoice’. God loves you individually so much He has sent you a great gift. The gift of eternal life. The gift of a life with abundance. The gift of Rejoicing. Many people enter our various ministry units with great fear. They are often afraid of telling someone their great need; of admitting their loneliness, and of confessing that they are unable to provide for themselves or their families. The shepherds were hard working individuals. They lived lives of hardship and loneliness. They were charged with the responsibilty of caring for someone else's flock. It was their job to ensure that the flock prospered and to protect the safety of the flock with their own lives. Like everyone else they dreamed of a different life promised to them in the Holy Scriptures; a life of abundance and joy and speculated when that might happen. This is what we celebrate at Christmas. We celebrate the coming of the Christ who frees us from our fears and turns our isolation and despair into abundance and rejoicing. The stories in this issue tell of individuals experiencing this new possibility and hope. May His gift of grace and abundance be yours today and always. owAe PRP ER EBD HB - Rope Skipping Team members are practising hard & RUS BR THK Achieving Success beyond Academics 003 "RET ERGB.

To promote the culture of all-around development, The Salvation Army Centaline Charity Fund School (SACCF) embraces a different philosophy and encourages a group of students to find their sense of achievement in rope skipping and juggling. The result: team members beam with pride and confidence as they become so skillful to complete tricks one after another with ease.

Behind the teams’ success, there is much sweat and effort. Coach Mr Kwok, former representative of Hong Keng, China Rope Skipping Team , visits the school and conducts special training for the Rope Skipping Team once a week. This is the third year I've been training these students. Rope skipping requires speed, inter-limb coordination and teamwork. With limited training time, the training programme has to be condensed ~ resting time is shortened and intensive training is conducted on speed, strength, movement patterns and team coordination.’ The team members first warm up with a session of nonstop «kipping, then divide in groups to practise their own group movement patterns, each move for dozens of times. These little athletes are usually soaked in sweat and cout of breath after the practice. To strive for the best and keep the high standard, team members would practise during recesses or lunch break every day, some of them even practise at home. Team member Tsang Ka-yin, who started learning rope skipping two years ago, recalled the difficulties she encountered at the beginning, ‘I'm studying in primary 5 now. When | started learning rope skipping, my arms and legs didn’t coordinate so well. There were many patterns that were so hare to memorise. Back then, | spent a lot of time to practise every day, and my muscles were tired and sore every time afterwards. It was so exhausting that at some point | really thought about quitting.

Skills, a good technique foundation and high level of concentration are all indispensable qualities of a juggler. It takes huge amount of repeated practice over a long time in order to perform tricks with precision at any time. ‘Every week we have a 1.5 hour practice session with the Juggling Team. Team members will be given a chart of juggling tricks to refer to in their practice, so that they'll know their own progress. For each trick, we first practise together repeatedly for dozens of times and then the team members will practise on their own during school recesses or their leisure time,’ said coach from Juggling Home Of Hong Kong. When there are upcoming group performances, some kids would have to spend extra time to practise the tricks they are not familiar with. Juggling Team member Ng Hing-sum started learning Juggling two years ago. At frst he was picking up the tricks slower than his teammates of the same age. Rather dumsy in his movements, he had to spend extra time practising. ‘like playing diabolo most. There are lots of items and moves to memorise and practise, but | don't find it too hard because I'm really interested in them. Not only do | practise at school, | also practise at home as | want to perfect the tricks. It can be tiring sometimes, but since l'm doing things | really like, the practice is ful offun, and | will not give up.’ Mr Tang, the teacher of SACCF, said, ‘Our School is committed to the holistic development of our students. We also promote sports activities. In 2008, the School set up the Juggling Team and Rope Skipping Team, which were newly emerging sports in, the acaclemia back then. Today, they have become focused training events of our School.’ Every year, the two teams take part in different inter-school competitions and performances and the splendid result they achieved is very encouraging. @ ERP RBERS BAIA 10 5G BB HB SARRR ANGE - SPREE» EMEP ABR > By AVEHAR : KPEARMRE BB A MBS METS RBM RFR « BS > PDE DES ALE PMT ARSPBSH SE o MRAM AMMO Ze + ORES REAR 1S BLE + AS ASRS © Founded over a decade ago, The Salvation Army Centaline Charity Fund School inspires students to reach their full potentials and promote their holistic development through a balance of ethics, intellect, physique, social skills, aesthetics and spirituality.

In order to find some ways to help them, their school asked social workers to put these boys in some interest classes. Influenced by their pop star idols, the boys suggested leaming to dance. Unexpectedly, they fell in love with it as soon as they started. Team member Tsui Kam-wun has deep feelings for this experience. “You can be motivated when you're really into something. And results can really show if practising hard.’ Talking about the early days when he first started dancing, Lai Sheung-yat describes them as a ‘painful’ experience, ‘During the first three months, we did so much stretching that our legs hurt. The strength training with repetitive movements was also boring. But later | realise these are essential for building a solid foundation.’ A ROT AEE AMAR | BIE - Team mendes ae invited ta perform in a basketball match.

Empowering Cheers Boys who do street dance would call themselves ‘B-Boy’, a term that signifies a sense of innovation and playfulness, and creative in the steps and movements. Nevertheless, team performance requires choreography and teamwork. Despite the passion for dancing, intensive practice prior to performances is still an annoying process for the free loving B-Boys. ‘We keep practising for months before a performance, repeating the same moves intensively. Rehearsal time is really tight. We rush to the rehearsal room as soon as we get off work, but we finish work at different time. Sometimes some teammates may miss the practice because of work or family matters. The process isn't easy...’ said Pun King-man. ‘That's why having goals matters a great deall’ he added firmly. They were once ignorant boys, but since they fell in love with street dance, these young men have become confident dancers. They said frankly that they will never gat tired of hearing the cheers of the audience.
