Day 01 - Uniquely Designed Missions Program

Unique to CMC is the full missions program designed to equip people from every seasons of life, from children, youth, to singles, families and empty-nesters. Through dynamic speakers, creative programming, fun interactive activities, and service projects, CMC brings a life-changing, missions-education program to help form a heart for missions for everyone.

Philippians 1:28-29
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; in no way alarmed by your opponents-which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

As we prepare for this special opportunity to grow in missions together--not just as a college ministry or church, but with the global church, let us pray for our hearts to be ready. May we prepare ourselves to be equipped with an open heart and mind. May we pray that we would be firm in the Gospel and faith of Jesus Christ in the midst of this conference. And may we be open to allow God to shape our hearts to be more in tune with His work throughout the world.

Day 02 - Passion to Launch a Discipleship Movement

If the Great Commission is about discipleship, then a mission convention must also be about discipleship. Our conviction is that every Christian should be a disciple and a disciple-maker. CMC is deeply passionate about equipping Chinese believers and churches to overcome the many traditional barriers to relational discipleship, and to launch and nurture a disciple-making movement that will unleash kingdom builders to make strong disciples in the Chinese world and for all nations.

Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Jesus has called us to make disciples and help grow disciples. As we consider the effort it takes to make disciples, let's not forget to pray that we play a crucial role in walking with new disciples in their spiritual growth. Pray for opportunities to take on others to help them grow, no matter what age or situation. Pray that God might use you to disciple someone, to mentor them, and to challenge their spiritual walk in Christ. Pray for courage to take this challenge no matter where you may be in faith and to step up to be ready to take on this commitment should God call.

Day 03 - Uniting the Body of Christ

CMC is an inter-church, inter-denominational missions convention for the local church, through a broad partnership between the local church, mission organizations, and Ambassadors for Christ (AFC). As different churches and organizations join forces together in missions and learn form each other, the entire body grows stronger. We believe this close collaboration from start to finish forms a rich synergy to bring great joy to the body of Christ and even greater glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:3-6
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

CMC has a unique opportunity to bring together churches and organizations for the advancement of God's kingdom and as we join in, pray that you as an individual sees the chance to capture this same vision. That our churches would unite and be reminded as a collective to pursue God's kingdom in like-mindedness. Pray that we would worship, learn, and grow together this winter at the conference. Pray that as God's global church, we would be relentless in sharing the Gospel and to partner together in the best way possible. Lastly, pray that this unifying thinking and action, would show the world a true picture of Jesus' love--that those who don't know would long to be part of this community.

Day 04 - Uncompromised Commitment to the Gospel Message

We believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for our world. CMC is committed to the Gospel message of redemption, the call to repentance, and the timeless biblical truth of salvation by grace through faith. We believe in the urgency of the Gospel message, for apart from faith in Christ there is no salvation. At every convention we call men and women to take up the cross in obedience to the call of Jesus.

Romans 10:9-10
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

Pray for a greater understanding of the Gospel in your own life. That God would continue to open your eyes and heart to His salvation in you each and every day. Pray that you will be challenged to share this faith with others--to ask for an urgency so that others may know Jesus' redemptive work. And pray for a perseverance to continue to share and pray for those that don't know Him yet.

Day 05 - Vision/Mission

CMC Vision: To see a movement of millions of Kingdom builders UNLEASHED globally and locally

CMC Mission: To inspire, equip and mobilize Christ followers to become reproducing Kingdom-builders

Acts 13:1-3
Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

As we take a moment each day this week to get to know what Chinese Mission Convention (CMC) is all about, let's be prayerful about how God is leading us also as individuals. This conference will give us a chance to consider participating as a Kingdom builder in a significant way. But this can only come through prayer as we read from Acts. Take a moment today, to pray for yourself. That you would be available to God's call and you would consider attending this year's CMC. And as we pray through aspects of the conference this week, pray that you would be willing to hear God's direction and an open heart to follow through.
