Chinese Congress on World Evangelization

Chinese Congress on World Evangelization or CCOWE (Chinese: 世界華人福音運動; pinyin: Shìjiè Huárén Fúyīn Yùndòng) is an international organization of Overseas Chinese Christian churches that was founded on 1976. CCOWE has branches throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia. It is a member of the Lausanne Committee, a Christian organization that aims to bring the Gospel into the whole world.[1]

Its goal is to reach out to the Chinese and Overseas Chinese throughout the world. However, some people have seen that, lately, there are more and more Overseas Chinese who do not know how to speak or read Chinese. With this issue, a committee was formed to be able to address the issue. A new group was created to cater to the English speaking Overseas Chinese: the CCOWE English Task Force (ETC).
