🌍 Today, as people around the world celebrate the gathering of nations, let us remember those who have never had the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus.

Across the globe, billions of people live among unreached people groups, with limited access to Scripture, Christian community, or a follower of Jesus who can share the gospel with them.

Will you join us in prayer?

🙏 Pray for unreached peoples
🙏 Pray for local believers and gospel workers
🙏 Pray for wisdom, courage, and perseverance
🙏 Pray for churches to be planted and disciples to be made

The Lausanne Movement exists because we believe the gospel is for every person, in every nation, and every sphere of society.

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." — Mark 16:15

In the Gospel of Luke, we encounter a man whose life was dramatically transformed by the power of Jesus. After being freed from a legion of demons, this man begged to stay at the feet of the Savior, desiring the comfort and secu- rity of His presence. Yet, Jesus gave him a surprising command: “No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you” (Luke 8:39). This directive to “Go and Tell” was not just a suggestion; it was an authoritative call to leave his comfort zone and approaching his own people with the message of God’s mercy. It is this same mandate that fuels the heart of Ambassadors for Christ (AFC) today as we partner with Chinese churches across the United States to reach a new generation of intellectuals.

Campus: The Strategic Mission Field on Our Turf:
We live in a troubling time where the cultural landscape of our universities is rapidly shifting. These campuses, which once served as the spiritual nurseries where many of our Chinese churches first began as international student Bible studies, are now battlegrounds for ideologies that leave young minds confused and misguided. In this spiritual war, the campus remains the strategic high ground where the future of our legacy and the global mission of the church will be decided.

AFC’s vision, first received by our founders 63 years ago, remains steadfast: to win this generation of Chinese intellectuals for Christ. We view the campus as a mission field and the local church as our vital partner. To this end, we have launched Project S.E.N.D. 2.0, a strategic initiative to recruit and send high-caliber campus ministers to major universities with high concentrations of Chinese students. Our goal is to increase our full-time campus staff from 30 to 60 over the next three years, effectively doubling our face- to-face evangelism capacity.

To reclaim this strategic high ground, we ushered in a new era of campus ministry in March 2026, partnering with local congregations to deploy dedicated missionaries into these vital fields. This model represents our unwavering determination to establish vital spiritual outposts on campus where students can be reached by the power of the Gospel and discipled into life-long followers of Christ.

Cultivating Missional Disciples through Innovation:
Our strategy does not end with conversion; it focuses on cultivating missional disciples. We are reaching students where they reside—online. The Discipleship Resource Center (DRC) has developed the YoungHub App, a digital hub that connects origi- nal creative content, music, and articles with campus ministries across North America. With over 27,000 subscribers to our Audio Ambassador Magazine, we are providing a constant stream of Gospel-centered teaching to the next generation.

Furthermore, we are moving beyond traditional student outreach to mobilize the “whole church”. This requires addressing the generational divide within our congregations. The Generations Together Symposium, scheduled for June 2026 in the Bay Area, will bring together leaders from Overseas-Born Chinese (OBC) and American-Born Chinese (ABC) back- grounds to foster trust and synergy. Our mandate has shifted from “Chinese for the Chinese” to “Chinese for the World.” We believe that by bridging these gaps, the Chinese immigrant church will unlock its full po- tential as a unique mission force.

From “Harvested” to “Harvesters”:
The impact of this vision is best seen in the lives of those we serve. At CMC 2024, we witnessed the power of the “Next Step” pipeline - our strategic effort to transform the “harvested” into “harvesters” for the Kingdom. Consider the journey of a dedicated couple whose path

reflects this transformation. One of them first responded to a call for bi-vocational missions at CMC 2013, just two years after becoming a believer. After more than a decade of spiritual formation and a joint dedication at CMC 2024, they are now deploying for cross-cultural missions in a Muslim country in the Middle East. Their journey demonstrates our commitment to the patient, long-term follow-up required to turn a moment of ded- ication into a lifetime of global impact.

As we look toward CMC Global 2027 in Northern California, our theme is “Crossing with Christ: Pro- claim Him to All Nations and Every Generation”. This convention will be a space where students, profes- sionals, and families can be renewed in their passion to take the whole gospel to the whole world.

A Faithful Legacy and a Call to Support:
As we commemorated the 100th birthday of our co-founder, Rev. Moses Chow, in November 2025, we were reminded that “He still speaks, and God still calls.” Rev. Chow’s life was defined by the simple question: “Are you available?” Today, AFC asks you the same.

Will you join us in this “Go and Tell” movement? Will you help us ensure that the whole church takes the whole gospel to the whole world? Together, we are ambassadors for Christ, carrying a legacy that began six decades ago into a future filled with hope. Thank you for your partnership in this vital ministry.

Today, we may feel like we are facing the storms as life’s uncertainties cause us to have fears and doubts. We may be like the disciples who feared and doubted the power of Jesus when they were on the boat together and faced a storm. In Mark 4:38-40, it says, “But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’ And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, ‘Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?’” Sometimes, we are like the disciples who lack faith and confidence in Jesus. As we remember who Jesus is, we can trust Jesus will be present and catch us when we fall or face the storm.

In 2 Corinthians 3:4-5, it says, “Such confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.” Our confidence is not rooted in our strengths and abilities, but our confidence is anchored in God’s promise. He is constant and faithful.

As we anchor our confidence in Jesus, consider the following questions:
1) What areas in your life do you tend to rely on your own strengths and abilities rather than putting your trust in Jesus?
2) How can you grow in your confidence in Jesus?

Today is international day for the unreached. Today, we remember that a third of the humanity has never heard the gospel. About 3 billion people have no church, no Bible in their language, and often no friend who knows Jesus.

The Urgency:
- 7,000+ Unreached People Groups - No indigenous community of
believers large enough to evangelize their own people
- 189 Completely Unengaged Groups - No church, no missionary, no
mission agency taking responsibility (over 5.7 million people)
- 3,200+ Frontier Peoples - Fewer than 1 in 1,000 members are Christian; nearly 2 billion souls
- 30:1 Missionary Gap - For every one missionary sent to unreached
people, roughly 30 are sent to places with established churches

Let's join this global movement today of choosing not to forget the unreached. Take a moment to pause and pray today for the unreached.

The Unfinished Task: Day 7 🌍

On our final day, we are praying for Christian Peoples. In many parts of the world, "Christian" is a cultural or historic identity rather than a personal faith. From secularized Europe to regions where faith has become nominal, there is a deep need for renewed access to the heart of the gospel and authentic discipleship.

How you can pray today:

1. For Spiritual Awakening: Pray for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit inside historic and traditional churches, bringing dead traditions to life.

2. For Unity: Pray for supernatural grace for believers across different backgrounds to serve together in true, kingdom-minded unity.

3. For Personal Transformation: Pray that those with a "traditional" Christian background would experience a genuine, born-again relationship with Christ through His Spirit and Word.

4. For Depth in Discipleship: Pray for recently "Christianized" groups to move past syncretism and overreliance on Western forms, growing deep roots in their own cultural contexts.

We celebrate that over 4,000 languages now have active Scripture translation efforts! Let’s pray that as the Word goes out, it leads to a global revival of renewal, discipleship, and unity.

The Unfinished Task: Day 6 🌍

Today, we are praying for Chinese Peoples. From the bustling cities to rural villages, Chinese folk religion—a blend of ancestor veneration, Confucianism, and Daoism—shapes the daily lives of millions. While we’ve seen a remarkable surge in faith over the last century, followers of Jesus today face systematic pressure, detentions, and increasing restrictions.

How you can pray today:
1. For Rooted Trust: Pray that seekers and new believers would grow into a mature, deep trust in God that withstands any storm.

2. For Quiet Courage: Pray for pastors, leaders, and house church small groups to have the strength to keep loving, gathering, and shining even under intense pressure.

3. For Resilience: Pray for the building of resilient spiritual communities that cannot be shut down, continuing to grow in the face of obstacles.

4. For the Millions Waiting: Pray for the millions in China who have yet to be reached with the message of Jesus.

God is at work through both official congregations and unregistered house churches. Let’s stand with our brothers and sisters in China as they lead with resilience and quiet courage.

The Unfinished Task: Day 5 🌍

Today, we are praying for the "Non-Religious"—a rapidly growing group across Europe, East Asia, and beyond. While many claim no specific religion, "non-religious" doesn't mean "non-spiritual." There is often a deep spiritual hunger and a search for answers to life’s biggest questions hidden beneath the surface of secularism.

How you can pray today:

1. For the Searching: Pray that those tired of empty answers and secular labels would find the ultimate truth and identity in Jesus.

2. For the Next Generation: Pray for young people facing feelings of despair or meaninglessness, that they would encounter a hope that anchors their souls.

3. For Campus Ministries: Pray for an urgent expansion of disciple-making on university campuses, where secularization is often the deepest.

4. For Community: Pray that seekers would find welcoming, authentic Christian communities that can connect them with the gospel message in a language they understand.

Let’s pray for a spiritual awakening among the skeptical and the searching.
