Asia Mission Conference 2017

The Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) recently held the Asia Mission Conference (AMC) in Yangon, Myanmar from 11 to 17 October 2017. The theme of the Conference was Journeying Together: Prophetic Witness to the Truth and Light, in Asia.

The AMC – 2017 was attended by CCA member churches, councils, ecumenical partners, missionaries, missiologists, theologians, and theological students, journalists, and human rights activists. The last AMC was held 23 years ago in Seoul, Korea in 1994.

The 2017 Asia Mission Conference coincided with the Diamond Jubilee of the CCA, founded in 1957. The CCA chose to celebrate their sixty year journey at the Conference.
