4%. This is the percentage of Christian students who had, and continue to have, a stable church life upon graduation.
4%：在讀書時有參加教會中，在畢業後幾年仍然有穩定教會生活的基督徒比例

This number may come as a surprise to some people, but maybe you have already noticed this trend. We do too. The number of young people in churches is in constant decline over the last 10 years, and in recent years some churches even had to shut down their youth fellowship.
這個數字對某些人來說可能是意料之外的低，但可能你已經一早察覺這趨勢。我們也早看到了。在華人教會內年輕人的數字在過去十多年正在一直的下跌，而最近有一些堂會甚至要被逼結束經營了多年的青年團契。

How could this happen? It is not that there are no young people coming to Christ, but that their faith are shallow and disintegrated. As soon as they migrate from the protected campus to the real world and are exposed to real life challenges, their compartmentalized faith will not be sufficient in carrying them through. Faith becomes irrelevant, and they leave their church.
到底是怎麼一回事呢？我們發覺最大的問題不是沒有人願意參加青年團契和信主，而是年輕信徒的屬靈生命大多膚淺和脫節。所以，當他們從簡單的校園進到複雜的世界，面對真實生活的各種挑戰的時候，他們那與生活割裂的膚淺信仰並不足以盛載他們，為他們解釋他們掉進的這個新世界。當信仰與他們的生活脫鉤，那就是他們離開教會的時候了。

AFC has been working with Chinese students and youths in Canada for 36 years. Through innovative programs and personal mentoring, we help students and youth integrate the Christian faith with their everyday life, so that not only will they lead a successful, meaningful and vibrant life, but also become life-long disciples of Jesus Christ. By building up communities of committed young Christians, we hope to infuse our culture with the transforming messages of the Gospel.
加拿大基督使者協會在過去三十多年一直與加拿大的華人學生同行。透過創新的聚會和個人的接觸，我們幫助學生將基督信仰與生活整合，以致他們能活出成功，有意義和豐盛的生命，並成為一生跟隨主耶穌基督的門徒。投過建立委身的基督徒學生宣教群體，我們期望將福音轉化生命的信息滲進年青人的文化裡面。

AFC meets students where they are. Our flagship "Jubilization" worship-discipleship program uses a multi-media and experiential approach to present solid and relevant biblical teaching to students and youth with great impact. We pinpoint to the burning life issues our students experience everyday, and through music, drama, preaching and other artistic means challenging them to reflect and live biblically and theologically. Our Integrated Discipleship Seminars, JJ959.com online ministry and GoodRead reading program all help extend the impact of Jubilization into the lives of a generation of young people.
使者著意進入年青人的文化和生活模式當中，在那裡與他們相遇。我們的旗艦「雀躍體驗」門訓敬拜聚會就是一例。我們使用年青人熟悉的多媒體和經驗式編排，將紮實和生活化的聖經教導帶給年青人和學生。我們針對學生生活中最火熱的問題，透過音樂、話劇、講道和其他藝術媒介，挑戰年青人和學生從聖經的角度反省和生活。從「雀躍體驗」引申出來的「整全門徒訓練講座」，JJ959.com網上事工和「好讀」屬靈閱讀計劃，更深地將整全的教導緊扣在新一代年青人的生命中。

Our popular PP959 radio show and podcast is another example of our integrated discipleship ministry. In a relaxing and humourous atmosphere, every Sunday night at 11pm at AM1320 we demonstrate to our audience the many facets of the life of an integrated disciple. PP959 has always been one of the most popular local Chinese radio programs, as well as one of the most popular Cantonese podcasts listed on Apple's iTunes Store worldwide.
我們廣受歡迎的「霹啪959」電台廣播節目和網上播客也是我們整全門訓事工的表表者。在輕鬆和幽默的氣氛裡，每星期日晚11時至12時，我們都在AM1320電台為聽眾演譯和示範一個整全門徒各個層面的生活。「霹啪959」除了是本地其中一個最受歡迎的電台清談節目外，也是在Apple iTunes上其中一個全世界最受歡迎的粵語播客。

AFC has also invested in campus mission by training and mentoring student leaders of Chinese Christian Fellowships on different university campuses. Many pastors and church leaders today can recall their life-changing and defining experiences serving in campus fellowships led by AFC.
使者也將大量資源投放在校園的宣教事工上。我們著力栽培和訓練不同校園團契的領袖。許多牧者和教會領袖都曾經在學生年代參加過由使者支持的校園團契事奉，成為他們一生事奉主的轉捩點。

AFC is committed in partnering with local churches to support their youth ministry needs. While student and youth ministry requires specialized knowledge and relies heavily on the abundance of resources, many local churches do not have these available. AFC can provide to local churches their much needed support in developing youth ministry with our 36 years of experience through specialized programmings, trainings and consultations. We can think of local churches as family doctors, tending to everyone's need; and AFC as a specialist in student ministry, working together with the family doctors to ensure the spiritual health and growth of the body of Christ.
使者深願與地方教會配搭，支援堂會在學生事工上的需要。學生和青年事工是一門需要專門經驗和大量資源的事工，而許多堂會在人手、經驗和資源上都或有欠缺。使者正好以我們三十多年的經驗，為堂會在發展學生和青年事工是上提供適切的支援，包括領會，訓練和咨詢。如果堂會像家庭醫生，照顧一家的健康，使者就好像青年事工的專科醫生，與家庭醫生配搭，確保基督的身體能健康茁壯地成長。

In addition, AFC also established in 2000 "AFC Student Centre", the first local non-profit organization serving specifically the needs of new immigrant students. Through academic advising seminar and consultation, academic assistance, volunteer program and leadership training etc., AFC Student Centre assists students and their families to overcome hurdles in their academic pursuits, as well as empowers them for leading a meaningful and purposeful life. Working closely with many immigrant services agencies, every year AFC Student Centre serves over 7000 count of people, and the majority of them are from mainland China. AFC Student Centre is thus a strategic contact point for local mainland Chinese mission. Many immigrant students have encountered the Gospel through the ministry of AFC Student Centre.
另外，使者也在2000年創辦了溫哥華唯一專門服務新移民學生的非牟利機構「使者學生中心」，透過提供升學輔導和講座、功課輔助、義工計劃、領袖訓練等，幫助新移民學生和家庭面對升學和學業上的困難，裝備他們建立有目標有意義的人生。「使者學生中心」與其他新移民機構合作，每年經轉介或直接接觸超過7000人次，其中絕大部份來自中國內地。「使者學生中心」正好成為向中國內地新移民宣教的重要外展事工接觸點，不少新移民學生透過「使者學生中心」認識福音。

Young Christians today will become leaders of the church tomorrow. The Church cannot afford to lose any generation of young people. Only with young Christians who are committed to follow Christ in all areas of their life can the church function as the salt and light of the world with a sustainable future. Our vision is that generations of Chinese students in Canada will become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ, serving the church and the world and bring glory to our Lord. This vision has not changed in the last 36 years, and we will continue to commit our lives to it.
今日的年青基督徒，明日就會成為教會的領袖。教會不能承受失落一整代的年輕人。只有當年青的基督徒學生願意在生活的每一層面也跟隨主耶穌基督的時候，教會才能長遠地在社會發揮鹽和光的功效。使者的異象，就是一代又一代的加拿大華人學生，都能夠成為終生跟隨耶穌基督的門徒，在教會，在世上忠心事奉，榮耀我們的主。這異象在過去三十多年都沒有改變過，而我們定必繼續委身於這異象。
