About Campus Challenge
Asian and Chinese Christian Fellowships (A/CCFs) are weekly campus gatherings of post-secondary students who seek to fully follow Jesus while also embracing the God-given gifts of our heritage. While these fellowships exist across various campuses, we are all united by the common mission and vision of Ambassadors for Christ in Canada: to nurture courageous faith in Jesus that motivates us to live beyond ourselves.
This spring, join us for Campus Challenge – an annual student gathering that brings us together for a special time of visioning, training, planning, and encouragement. We invite you to come, be transformed, and expand your imagination for what God can do in and through us on campus and beyond!

Campus Challenge 2025:
Courageous Faith
It is so easy to settle for less.
Why speak up when it’s easier to remain quiet? Why fight injustice when it’s such an inconvenience? Why risk being vulnerable when we can find a cheap imitation with a search and a click? Why address our anxieties, when we can just numb out through endless scrolling? Why take risks, when ‘what could be’ is scarier than the mediocrity we currently know?
But it is in our fear, anxiety, and complacency that God longs to meet us. God is unafraid of the storms and the mess of life; indeed, it is when we feel like we’re at the end of our rope – when we lack the courage to take the next step – that God’s grace meets us.
This year, Campus Challenge is a call to courageous faith: living and loving like Jesus, even in the face of fear. Courage is nurtured by being deeply rooted in God, lived out in community, and will spur us on to live beyond ourselves. So join us in coming together to cultivate courageous communities, compelled by Jesus' love, for the flourishing of all.
