What CANADIAN CAMPUS EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP INC. does

Canadian Campus Evangelical Fellowship Inc. (CCEF, 加校园福音团契) is a registered Canadian charity founded to serve Mandarin-speaking students and youth on Canadian campuses through evangelism, spiritual formation and Christian community. The organization operates a federated network of student-led Mandarin Christian fellowships across at least ten Canadian universities — including the University of Toronto (UTMCCF, UTSC MCF, UTMICF), York, Western, Queen's, Waterloo, McGill, UBC, University of Alberta, Ottawa and Brock — and extends outreach into Mandarin-speaking high school students via the Scholarship Campus Visit program. CCEF also runs targeted ministries for young adult singles (88 Single Fellowship) and offers prayer and counseling support. Its headquarters is at 201 Tempo Ave, North York, Ontario, with a mailing address in Toronto.

CCEF's product and program surface is broad for a small organization. Core programs include the CCEF+ partnership initiative (engaging churches and individual supporters), a multi-level Spiritual Formation Series (100/200/300 tiers), the annual Campus Builders training camp (now in its 16th edition), the Bible Archaeology, Travel and Art Ministry (delivered jointly with Tim and Jessica), Christian Literature Public Lectures (on Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Chinese martial arts novels), Gospel Team evangelism training, Summer Bible Study, the CCEF Homecoming Four-Part Series and an End-of-Term Finals加油站 support program. Distribution runs through on-campus fellowship groups, church partnerships, in-person events and Zoom-based online lectures, with a monthly newsletter, YouTube (CCEFTraining) and Instagram (@ccef_canada, @ccef_oc_canada) channels. The team comprises approximately eleven named staff missionaries (including Jessica Chai, Tim, Steven Gong, Guanshi Li, Kitty and Indrek Jarve, Rose Wang, Yan Yan Wu, Peter Hsieh, Sarah Wang, Zoe Liu and Betty Gong) supported by volunteers.

CCEF is funded primarily through tax-receipted donations from churches, organizations and individual believers, with annual donation receipts issued in February. Secondary revenue comes from event registration fees, including the Campus Builder Camp ($200-$299 CAD) and spiritual formation programs ($50 CAD per 4-week series). The organization is a registered Canadian charity with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no public listing and no disclosed revenue figures. Its operational base is in Ontario, with active ministry across Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia.
