Rev. Ezekiel Tan, general secretary of the World Chinese Christianity Alliance (WCA), joined evangelical leaders from across Asia at the Asia Conference on Church and Mission 2026, where he led a closing prayer during a session calling churches to recover disciple-making as the central task of Christian mission on June 10.

The Asia Conference on Church and Mission 2026 officially opened on June 9 in Alabang, Metro Manila, bringing together approximately 210 delegates from 25 nations across Asia.

Next week, the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle invites the global church to unite in prayer for Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the Chinese mainland.

For Pastor Jason Kim, the journey to Shanghai was never meant to be a marathon. When he first arrived in the winter of 2007 with his family, the plan was simple: survive one year, claim the experience, and return to the familiar comforts of the United States. He did not know the language, he did not know the culture, and he certainly did not expect to stay.

Shanghai offers a vibrant, legally established network of international fellowships. Whether you prefer the solemnity of a historic cathedral with pipe organ music or the energy of a modern band in a hotel ballroom, there is a place for you.
