The Apostle John said, “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’” (Rev. 7: 9-10) 

Dear Friends of Asian and Multicultural Ministries in Canada (AMMiC),

That was the eschatological picture God showed me in Westminster Abbey 17 years ago, in 2009, when I prayed in solitude to discern the call to take up episcopal ministry in the new diocese. There God called me to commit the rest of my life to visible minorities and multi-cultural ministries in Canada. God showed me the image of a large gathering before the heavenly throne made up by peoples coming from the four corners of the world. They were from all cultures and languages, and their numbers were innumerable.

Ever since, I keep sharing the heavenly vision with everyone I encounter: that God is calling us to reach out to the visible minorities, either grown up locally or have come to Canada from overseas. In recent years, undoubtedly Canada has faced significant challenges – surges of new immigrants, economic pressure, political shifts, and global unrest. AMMiC’s ministry has likewise encountered all kinds of challenges due to unforeseen situations. And yet, by God’s grace, we learn how to trust the Lord, proceed forward in faith step by step, and have no desire to walk away from his calling.

I pray that a new generation will rise up to carry this torch forward. Without that, the AMMiC movement cannot continue. We sincerely invite you to join us in raising up this new generation of givers, intercessors, and partners in the gospel.

2026 Ministries Highlight

How do I give?

God has always provided just enough for each season. This year, AMMiC’s fundraising goal remains CAD $150,000 (to provide for AMMiC staff remuneration, leadership training, and funding for new church planting). Nona and I are once again committing $10,000 to this work, believing God is not finished with AMMiC. To sustain and expand this mission, we are launching a new initiative:

• We will be continuing The “Seventy Supporters” Campaign where we seek monthly donors, each pledging to give a minimum of $70 per month for AMMiC ministries. We are also accepting one-time donations of a minimum $840 as part of this campaign.
  Donors joining the 70 Supporters Campaign, either pledging monthly or one-time donation by December 24, 2026 will be eligible to register for free to any 70 Disciples School course in 2027.
• We also invite AMMiC churches and church plants to prayerfully consider allocating 2–5% of their annual budget as a “Mission Fund” to AMMiC to support future church planting and leadership development.

• 2026 AMMiC Fundraising Response and Pledge Form
• Cheque payable to AMMiC, mailed to:
  160–4611 No. 6 Road, Richmond, BC V6V 2L3
• Interac e-Transfer to: donations@ammic.ca

May the Lord of the harvest raise up labourers, supporters, and servants in our time. Thank you for walking with us. Your partnership in the gospel is a gift we do not take for granted.

With every blessing in Christ,

The Rt. Rev. Stephen Leung

課程：符類福音研讀 A Study of the Synoptic Gospels

講師：梁永康主教 (M.Div., Th.M., D.D.)
簡介：符類福音是新約重要文獻，有關「耶穌是誰」的宣講和見證。近代學者質疑
其可靠性、歷史性，從而質疑耶穌的神性。

例如：馬太記載耶穌受試探次序為 (a)叫石頭變食物；(b)從聖殿頂跳下；(c)
向撒但下拜。而路加的次序卻安排為 (a), (c), (b)。究竟誰的記載更具歷史性
？聖經寫作的歷史真確性 (historical truth) 和上帝信息宣講 (kerygma) 如何平
衡了解？那就要更深入認識甚麼是上帝的話語。
再者，憑甚麼理據相信馬可是第一卷寫成的福音？馬太和路加又是基於甚
麼原因寫下對耶穌不同的宣講？三者各自獨特之處在何？如何互補而得以
更全面認識歷史的耶穌呢？

內容：

• 第一講：符類福音歷史性？神學宣講？馬可福音是符類福音的第一卷嗎？
• 第二講：馬可福音——耶穌是誰？耶穌加利利事工三重奏；彌賽亞之三重門訓教導；主再來與十架之救贖
• 第三講：馬太福音——從耶穌的「言」「行」去認識耶穌是誰；並列五個講論與五個行動回應；彌賽亞的啓示
• 第四講：路加福音——與使徒行傳成為全卷，強調福音的普世性。探討耶
  穌在加利利的事工；前往耶路撒冷的旅程；在耶路撒冷的受死和
