2.2 Main Activities and Achievements
Ministry report for UK Ambassadors for Christ Ltd for AGM 2021
( for period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 )
Briefly, the main activities can be summarized as below:
1. Organized a conference , with the theme of “bearing more fruits, to be disciples of the Lord” on 27 - 28 Dec 2021. There were about 70 people attended the conference online, and about 10 people in the church. The theme speaker was Dr Jason Lim. Three workshops were organized. This conference was also meant to explore whether it was feasible to organize CMC UK/Europe with the hybrid model. Our experience suggested that a hybrid model was not a good choice, as people are not willing to go to other church building for attending conference.
2. Preparation of CMCUK/Europe Dec 2022 : Initial plan was to organize an online CMC UK/Europe in Dec 2022. However, in the first planning committee, the members suggested that it would be better to organize a physical conference, as physical conference would have much better impacts than a zoom conference. Given that we had previously booked the venue for 2024 Conference with the Hayes Conference Centre, then, we have decided that the physical conference would take place in April 2024. As requested by the conference Centre, we had paid £1000 deposit to secure the booking for the whole conference Centre. Given the current situation, the coming CMC (the 6th) in April 2024 will most likely be focused in the UK.
3. Coworkers meeting: we still have one full time worker, plus 3 part time workers (Chee Horng, Jonah & Liu Shui). Coworkers’ meetings were held once in two weeks.
4. Campus Ministry Workshop was taken place on the 26 March. That was the 2nd workshop on campus ministry (the first workshop was taken place on the 20 Nov 2021). We have decided to organize such workshop every quarter if possible.
5. Discipleship training. There were 100 new participants registered at the discipleship training between 1 April 2021-31 March 2022. Actual participants were at least 20% more than registered. A total of 359 people registered since the start of the discipleship training by 31 March 2022.
6. In cooperation with AFC, we have helped to organize training courses, i.e. Songs of a pilgrim, and Cultivating spiritual leaders and co-workers. Two groups attended Songs of a pilgrim, whereas 5 groups attended Cultivating spiritual leaders and co-workers. Each training course lasted for about 3 months.
7. Preaching in different churches. Paul Zhang has been invited to preach for 29 times in 9 different churches (Gloucester, Cambridge Alliance church, Telford, Reading,

Milton Keynes, Cardiff, London Huaxia, Southampton, Swindon), either with zoom and often in person.
