5.1 Serving the Chinese people is an apostolic priority of the Conference. We will assist in the discernment and articulation of the service to the Chinese people. We will strengthen our accompaniment of the Chinese people abroad, collaborate with other Conferences for The Beijing Center, and undertake other initiatives to support the mission of serving the Chinese people.
Targeted outputs:
5a. 5-year program to accompany overseas Chinese students studying at AJCU-AP member universities is developed in 2021.
Suggestion for 5a to focus on Chinese students in overseas ecclesiastical studies because these will be going back to China as seminary professors, thus having crucial impact on future church.
5b. A plan for the serving the Chinese people is discerned by an ad hoc China Mission Discernment Group with JCAP and incorporated into Chinese Province Apostolic Plan over 2021-2023.
5c. The Conference’s support for and strengthening of The Beijing Center with human and financial resources is continued over 2021-2025.
Responsible team: Delegate for China in collaboration with AJCU-AP and other units.
