About AFC
Ambassadors for Christ (AFC) in Canada is an intergenerational ministry with a mission to nurture students toward a courageous faith in Jesus that motivates them to live beyond themselves. This is done with an emphasis on fully honouring their Chinese identity and surrounding community
Walking With Students Through Every Stage
AFC ministers to students from grade 7 all the way through post-secondary education. From campus communities (Chinese Christian Fellowship (CCF)) to events/conferences (AFC Teens Conference, Frosh Connexion, Campus Challenge), the goal is to journey with students throughout their most formative years, pointing them to faith in Christ.
A Trusted Partner for Over 50 Years
For over 50 years, the work of AFC has played a unifying role in the Chinese-Canadian church community. AFC is a trusted partner of Chinese churches across denominations, and a key partner in developing the next generation of Christian leaders.
Our Hope for the Next Generation
The hope and prayer of AFC is that the next generation be one that embraces their God-given identity in full, with faith that is courageous, lived out beyond themselves, resulting in the flourishing of all.
“To see courageous communities cultivated for the flourishing of all.”
“To nurture students toward a courageous faith in Jesus that motivates them to live beyond themselves. This is done with an emphasis on fully honouring their Chinese identity and surrounding community.”
The AFC
‘Upward Arrow’
The ‘Upward Arrow’ in our branding was founded on the belief that the student ministry space is one where youth are encouraged to pursue Christ (vertical direction), in the context of community (horizontal direction).Specifically to AFC, after 50 years of pioneering, the arrow also represents our commitment to our mission; we are still pushing ahead and excited for what the Lord has for us in the years to come.
‘Togetherness’
is a deeply held value at AFC.
What does this look like? It means working with churches, organizations, communities, and volunteers who share a similar heartbeat. A posture of interdependence, appreciation and mutuality. We know we don’t have all the answers but believe that when we work together, we can do so much more.
We partner with churches and organizations in various ways, to different extents, and in multiple capacities. Here are some of the organizations we are partnering to further our mission:
