Subject: CMC 2014 West Coast News Release

時間 DATE:12/31/2014 - 1/3/2015    地點 PLACE:Town and Country Resort, San Diego, CA
Dear Friends and Coworkers,

Warmest greetings! We want to personally thank each one of you who participated in Chinese Mission Convention West Coast 2014 held December 31, 2014 to January 3, 2015 in San Diego. We appreciate your dedication to the Lord’s work by setting aside time to learn and participate in global missions. Our prayer for each attendee is that their life was challenged, charged, and changed for the cause of Christ!

The Planning Team has worked and prayed hard in the past 3 years, driven by a God given passion for missions. Praise God we had a record-breaking attendance of 3,500 people this year, coming from 34 states in the US and Western Canada plus 90 internationals from China, Asia and Europe. There were over 60 mission organizations, 240 pastors and 95 speakers (missionaries, lay leaders and pastors) who gave 109 workshops and plenary presentations. We had 248 indicated dedications toward global and local missions (221 from Chinese Program, 27 English Program). AFC’s Next Step team provided counseling, assessments, and consultation for them onsite. Further more, a Next Step retreat has been planned in March in San Diego for them. Additionally, 150 business leaders joined the inaugural CMC Entrepreneur Summit that was specially designed for Business as Missions (BAM) purposes. We feel the Lord is strongly mobilizing the West Coast churches for global and local missions through the CMC platform. This could not possibly be done without the diligent work of the local planning team and the sacrificial donations from our supporters!
All praise and glory goes to God for such a transformative experience at CMC that people from all ages and all walks of life went away with a renewed sense of the Great Commission in our time. We were particularly challenged by Pastor David Choi in the closing ceremony that the Gospel is not only the message we take to unbelievers, but also the message that renews our own hearts. We give thanks for the dozens of people who openly confessed and recommitted their faith in Christ in the final night and a new generation willingly answering the call toward missions. As a follow up effort to continue the momentum, we will be sending you 9 self-study articles that were specially developed on the CMC affirmations stated in the CMC handbook.

We covet your prayers as we prepare for CMC 2015 in Houston, Texas; Derbyshire, UK; and Rome, Italy; CMC 2016 in Baltimore Maryland; and finally CMC 2017 in Los Angeles. Lord willing, we aspire to host the inaugural CMC in Asia in the near future.

Once again, many thanks for choosing to spend your time at Chinese Mission Convention. Please follow the CMC official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ChineseMissionConvention ) page to view pictures and recap videos from the conference.

Together Unleashed,
