ACM International General Strategy
Accept Christ’s Call!
We believe God has specifically prepared men and women to be members of this alliance. For His own reasons God has chosen to allow us the privilege of taking part in what He wants to do in many places around this world. Our Lord has called some to go and He has called some to lend support to those who go! Both are callings and both are central to the success of every mission; the call is important as we begin each partnership and it is vital throughout our ministry together. ACM International relies heavily, daily, on the direct intervention of the Spirit of God in each individual life. Our deepest desire is to encourage each of our teammates to find their own way of carefully seeking and then following His specific instructions as we work in harmony. It is our continuous challenge to “Accept Christ’s Call” day by day… Make that minute by minute!
Cultivate Relationships!
ACM I is, and always will be, committed to establishing churches and then helping each of them become deeply influential in the communities that surround them. We also believe that each mission we accept - each assignment - is ultimately about people! As we enter a foreign culture, our first and constant priority will be to cultivate meaningful relationships with our new neighbors. This high value has far reaching implications on the mindset with which we approach and interact with those whom we pray will become our new friends. It touches our commitment to language and cultural learning, our respect for different values and our firm belief that if we search carefully, we will find those in whom the Spirit of God has already been working. Those whose names He wishes to write upon our hearts!
Make Disciples!
Though vital, it is not enough to develop strong relationships.
We are commanded to make disciples! (Matt 28:19)
This is both the common goal and common strategy of all of ACM I’s
ministries. For us, a disciple is one who holds fast to
an ongoing commitment to follow Jesus Christ. Churches, full of
disciples, are concerned about the sick and the poor - have a
passion for social justice; they know how to give; are bold in their
stand for truth and they, too, are committed to the task of making
new disciples. How can such churches not deeply impact
a world full of selfishness, pride, greed, lies, cruelty... Sin!
We believe disciples of Jesus, and the churches they fill,
are, quite literally, the hope of this world.
