Rise Up: Gospel Partners for a New Generation (2025 Fundraising Event)

Posted on by

August 20, 2025

Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:18–20, ESV)

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

The Great Commission remains our calling. Christ, who holds all authority, sends us to proclaim the gospel and disciple the nations. This mission sustains AMMiC, especially through the turbulent years we have all endured.

In recent years, Canada has faced significant changes — surges of new immigrants, economic pressure, political shifts, and global unrest. AMMiC’s ministry has likewise encountered challenges. And yet, by God’s grace, we continue to press forward in church planting and leadership development across ethnic communities.

But one concern weighs heavily on us: many faithful supporters who helped establish AMMiC are aging or stepping back. A new generation must rise to carry this torch forward. Without it, the AMMiC movement cannot continue. We invite you to join us in raising up this new generation of givers, intercessors, and partners in the gospel. Continue reading →

AMMiC at 2017 ACNA Provincial Assembly

Posted on by

The 2017 Anglican Church in North America Provincial Assembly, with the theme of Mission On Our Doorstep, is an opportunity for everyone across the continent to gather and be united “as church”. As part of the Assembly, there will be many different workshops, networking events, and sub-conferences. AMMiC will be leading a sub-conference on Asian and Multicultural Ministries. The presentation team, led by Bishop Stephen Leung, will share the experience of ministering to Asian immigrants in North America.

“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 ESV)

In this day and age, with so many nations becoming our next door neighbours, the vision revealed to the Apostle John at Patmos has become an imminent reality. How can the Anglican Church in North America grow strong multi-ethnic ministries that are engaging and relevant to immigrants and their families? What examples are there to sparkle our imagination and creativity in ministry?
