Ministry report for UK Ambassadors for Christ Ltd for AGM 2021

（ for period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 ）

Despite the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic in the UK, praise the Lord that the ministries developed well. The Lord has opened the door for UK AFC ministry to grow, as the ministries were switched online. Briefly, the main activities and achievement can be summarized as below:

1. Training ministry. Life influence life Discipleship training (LIL DTC): The discipleship training was undertaken online using zoom, in small groups of 6-8 people per group. The purpose of such training was to train participants practise Christian doctrine, and to live a Christian life. The total number of LIL DTC groups has reached over 40 groups. Participants were from different churches/fellowship in the UK and also from Ireland, Italy and China.

2. Evangelistic ministry . A series of 7 evangelistic talks have been delivered in total this year. The videos and audios for these talks have been listed on the UKAFC websites, which may be used as a tool for sharing the gospel message. Number of people attended these talks varied from over 100 to over 500 per session.

3. Joint mission centre ： The first virtual mission centre was formed, between UKAFC, London Huaxia Christian Church and Dallas Chinese Fellowship Church, USA. The aim of the mission centre was to promote mission ministry in the UK. Sunday school teachers’ training (online) were undertaken between Dec 2020 – Feb 2021. Over 20 Sunday school teachers from several churches participated in the training.

4. The UK Campus Ministry Seminar. The UK campus ministry seminar took place online using Zoom on the 5 Sept. Over 60 people participated. The seminar shared and discussed over the three topics, i.e. how to reach more students, how to share gospel to students born after 1990, and how to equip students to be disciples.

5. Virtual UKAFC DTC retreat conference . The one-day virtual UKAFC retreat, which was taken place on the 9 Jan 2021 using a zoom.
