[Protesting in #HongKong] is a cause @denniswhkwok would gladly take up again. He said, “I would have done it all over again. … Confidence comes from Christianity. Those with faith see how authoritarianism is wrong and are unwilling to do nothing.”

"In some of the most critical moments of the [#HongKong] protests, @tedhuichifung and other #Christians deemed the cause of Christ more important than the push for democracy. ... more important to win people’s hearts rather than win a political point."
