Saskatoon has been home for more and more Chinese new comers in recent decades. Ten thousand kilometres of geographical distance represents not only a different climate, but also a different culture, a different language, a different job, a different social circle, a different identity, and much more. In 2020, a group of Saskatoon based Chinese christians, who once also went through all the above
changes, envision themselves to be an instrument to serve the newcomers, as well as the not-so-newcomers, in the Chinese community in Saskatoon.
“Agape” - the highest form of love in Greek, is the word being used to describe Christ’s love in the New Testament of the Bible. The Saskatoon Agape Society aims to promote christian values to the Chinese community as a nondenominational nonprofit organization, to assist and support Chinese new-comers, to provide family education to the Chinese community in lights of cross cultural challenges, to provide christian education to the Chinese community, and to provide community activities for strengthening the Chinese christian community.
近幾十年來，薩斯卡通已經成為越來越多華裔人士的故鄉。
一萬公里的地理距離不僅代表著不同的氣候，還代表著不同的文化，不同的語言，不同的工作，不同的社會圈子，不同的身份等等。
2020年，一群曾經經歷過上述的變化，在薩城居住的華裔基督徒，領受從上帝而來的感動，願意為薩城華人社區的新老移民提供服務。
“ Agape” - 希臘語中 “最高層次的愛”，是在新約聖經中用來形容“基督的愛”的詞。薩城愛鄰社作為一個非營利組織，旨在向華人社區推廣基督教價值觀，協助和支持華裔新移民在此地安居樂業，在跨文化挑中向華人社區提供英語學習，親子、婚姻等家庭輔導，聖經學習，並組織社區活動以加強華裔在本社區裡的歸屬感。
