Global Chinese Alpha Conference 2023 (GCAC)
When it comes to a dream for revival, we cannot ignore the largest ethnic group with 1.5 billion people in the world. At the Global Chinese Alpha Conference, our vision is to gather pastors and leaders in unity – to be inspired, equipped and empowered to reach the Chinese globally.
Alpha’s vision is to play our part in the evangelisation of the nations, revitalisation of the church and transformation of society. Through Alpha, 28 million people have had a chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ over the past 30 years. Yet, there is still much to be done. Join us on 12-13 July 2023 – to learn, network and dream God’s dream for global mission amongst the Chinese.
(for groups of 5 and above)
“My vision is to see every Chinese person in this world having an opportunity to hear the good news about Jesus and we can only do that with your partnership.”
Rev. Nicky Gumbel, Pioneer of Alpha
