Overseas Missions Overseas Missions Overseas Missions
In the big family of CCM, our focus is in Oceania Region. We left footprints in New Zealand, Fiji, PNG, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, New Caledonia etc. Four Chinese churches were established or adopted in the past 2 decades. CCMA’s current overseas mission fields are Santo and Port Vila in Vanuatu. We sent itinerary missionaries and short-term mission teams periodically. Your prayers are needed and your partnership in gospel is most welcome.

Santo
Santo is the largest island to the north of Vanuatu. At the end of 2018, CCMA began to explore and develop this mission field. In February 2019, Santo Chinese Christian Fellowship started with about 5 Christians as regular participants.
Santo
Santo has hundreds of Chinese people, mostly from Fuzhou and some from northern provinces. They speak mainly Mandarin. They mainly work in grocery stores, hotels and restaurants.
Port Vila
Port Vila is the capital of Vanuatu. The Vila Chinese Christian Fellowship started in 2001 with the assistance of CCMA. Since 2019, CCMA has been organising local youth summer camps for teaching the gospel.
Port Villa
With a growing Chinese population, the 2019 Youth Summer Camp was very well received. Vanuatu has a flexible immigration policy in recent years that has attracted many Chinese students, often accompanied by their parents.
Noumea
Noumea is the capital of New Caledonia, an overseas French territory. CCMA began its visit in 2002 and sent a missionary to establish the Noumea Chinese Christian Church in 2005, which currently have about 15 people. From 2016 to 2021, Grace Wong is the missionary around the area.
Noumea
Local Chinese generally workshop their ancestors or Buddha and live a stable and well-off life. The boat people mostly work for shops or do casual work. Local churches are underdeveloped as people's time is occupied by life and family needs.
