Rural Mission
(all Judea)
“Jesus went through all the towns and villages,teaching their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.” (Matt 9:35)
Vision:
Planting churches without walls amongst the Chinese who are scattered throughout rural areas across Canada.
Target:
New & older immigrants; shop and restaurant owners; workers and their families.
Purpose:
To reach the small towns that have no known local Chinese Christian fellowship or regular church support. CCM recognizes this need and resolves to assume the challenge of organizing visitation teams to reach out to them with the love and the Gospel of Christ.
Strategy:
Regular Visits:
To reach people effectively, regular visits throughout the year (except during the winter months) are necessary. Teams of three to four people will drive through the towns and villages to form a network of outreach.
Practical Seminars:
Christian professionals, i.e. doctors, nurses, accountants, lawyers, teachers, social workers, etc. are part of the recruitment to offer practical seminars to help people with their daily needs regarding health, family, and business.
Personal Evangelism:
The team members will share during and after the seminars their personal faith and testimonies.

Mission Teams:
The missionaries will network with city churches across Canada to recruit and train mature Christians so that they may, in turn, form visitation teams to reach neighboring towns and villages.
Follow Up:
To set up home fellowship and train lay leaders to nurture the new believers in each location. CCM will regularly visit and send resources to support these fellowship and their leaders.
