Please Note
that this mission has been postponed until further notice.
Background Information
Philippines comprises of a series of islands in the Far
East off the coast of China to the North of Indonesia and
South of Japan. It lies between the Equator and the Tropic
of Cancer and therefore has a Tropical climatic condition.
Its population is estimated at 80million people a majority
of whom are Roman Catholics.
There are 16 constituent Police Academies
offering training to Chief Inspectors, Investigators and
regular Police Officers. They offer degree, diploma and
certificate courses. There is a Chaplain in each college
who reports to the Bishop in charge.
The Bishop has extended an invitation to
ACMI to preach in theses colleges and also to disciple future
leaders who will continue with the noble task of bringing
up the new converts to spiritual maturity.
The mission is supposed to spread out to
all the 16colleges simultaneously and therefore anyone who
signs in will be actively involved. This is a great opportunity
for you to exercise your spiritual gift.
Our task
The main objective of the mission is to train the cadets
on character development. Materials will be provided and
training sessions have been organized for those who qualify
to go. Preaching sessions have also been provided for as
per the program.
Requirements
Those interested will be required to raise their own air
tickets amounting to Kshs. 80,000/-. All the other expenses
will be met by the Philippine host.
There are no visas required and all that
one is required to have is the air ticket and a valid passport.
It is however necessary to have some inoculations which
can be obtained from the Municipal office or the Government
District Hospitals.
Applications will
be picked from the ACMI office, filled and returned to the
Administrator before August 31st 2007.
Timing
The mission is supposed to take place in November 2007 and
will last for duration of three weeks.
Pre-mission Training –
For uniformity and proper coordination of mission logistics,
the missionaries will undergo training which will be organized
by ACMI at the Vision Village at a time to be communicated
after the selection process.
Prayers –
Missionaries will be required to be meeting once a week
to pray for this mission.
Travel Documents
– Missionaries will be required to prepare
their travel documents early enough to avoid a last minute
rush. Please consult the ACMI information desk for what
would be required by the Immigration Office.
Who qualifies?
Anyone with a passion for bringing lost souls to Christ
qualifies for this mission. We will need worship leaders,
those with a gift of teaching, evangelists, Christian counselors,
all of whom must be affiliated to a responsible and established
Spiritual Authority (Church) or Ministry.
A Life
Time Opportunity: Are you interested? Do you
have a burden for the lost? Can you spare some time for
God and His work? “The fields are white and the harvest
is waiting.” Do you consider yourself a worker? Call
us on 067-30621 or come to the ACMI offices at Christian
Church International – Thika Makongeni.
A rare opportunity
This is a rare opportunity where a government offers the
church to be involved in training one of the most important
departments of its country.
What else should
I know?
The Filipinos are very friendly and very accommodating.
They are also very religious with most being Catholics of
from the same background. The country’s religion is
predominantly Catholic. Many do not understand salvation
by grace but instead they lean more towards salvation through
works.
Those that have had opportunities to plant
churches in Philippines have faced some opposition from
this spirit of religion. Sometimes a whole village has converted
to salvation only to go back to their former religious ways
of life after receiving threats from the religious leaders
that they will be denied some rights if they do not recant.
The only way to get them out of this situation
is through discipleship and effective follow-up. Training
local people of integrity will help us accomplish this noble
task. May God bless you as you prepare to join this mission
of the year!
Support and partnership
Those who cannot make it to the mission also have an opportunity
to partner with us in prayers and financial support. You
can support a willing missionary to raise the required air
ticket and in so doing share in the blessing of seeing souls
coming to Christ and a whole nation revolutionized.
Channel all your love
