In Cambridge, our church (CAC) has an outstanding core Christian value in ministry. Despite of limitation of meeting venue, we still have made significant progress spiritually and fellowship bonding among members in the year through established various cell groups and online trainings. We can see a good number of growths of attendees, including non-Christian seekers in meetings. 16 people have accepted Jesus as their Savior in the last 12 months and 7 members have
responded to the alter calls and dedicated themselves at the 2024 UK AFC Chinese Mission Conference.
We are grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ that stronger team momentum and individual spiritual life improvement can be seen among many of us.
The fellowship and teamwork between the two congregations, Mandarin and Cantonese have also become stronger and benefit the significant growth of the church.
I am confident that the focus and commitment our Church Council team and the Executive team is bringing to the church will see a return to form in the months and years ahead as CAC tries to do its bit to help new families and individuals who face challenges and pressure when they settle living or studying in Cambridge. The increasing attendance of outreach events and activities, prayer meetings, children ministry activities, cell groups, Bible study groups are now driving significant growth on Sunday service attendance.
With new members joining the church supported by the generally improving commitment and strong fellowship of brothers and sisters, we have built some
excellent springboards for future growth whilst there is still work to do, particularly in Leadership and Discipleship trainings, Spiritual formation and 2nd Generation Ministry where I expect further consolidation and fruitful growth this year and beyond. I am delighted with our team performance in supporting the establishing of a new church plant at the Bishop’s Stortford for the year 2024
