Voices In The Wilderness - A MissionsConference Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Asian Center for Missions

Ten years ago Gordon Robertson, son of 700 Club founder and president Pat Robertson, heard his personal voices from the wilderness, first in India and then the Philippines. He was a practicing lawyer, but he quit from his lucrative career and responded to the call of God. In India he saw the need for the salvation. When he came to the Philippines he saw a vision of boatloads of Filipinos sailing to different parts of the world. This vision led to the formation of the Asian Center for Missions. Since then, ACM has commissioned Filipino missionaries to different parts of the world, some even in restricted places.

I am personally amazed by the stories of Filipino missionaries that came for the occassion. Stories from the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Kazakhstan, and even in the Sub-Saharan Africa, were all awe-inspiring and challenging. As a result, numbers of people responded with the call to missions. Imagine to be the first missionary to share the message of the salvation to one of the biggest nomadic tribe in Africa - the Fulani tribe? I was really moved by the presentation of our kababayan missionary. I can only wish you were there at the conference. You'd feel proud that the Lord is using Filipinos to reach the unreached. The identities of the missionaries are classified since most of them are working in restricted areas.

GlobalFil Alliance Inc. is working towards a partnership with ACM and other similar organizations. We believe, as Gordon Robertson does, that Filipinos are strategically located in different parts of the world. This is not without reason. Where Filipinos are, the message of Jesus Christ can be heralded. How this is to be accomplished? It will have to be creative, innovative, and non-directive. By providing educational services that showcase cultural revitalization, international cooperation, and national transformation, we can win the nations through the Filipino nation. Join us.

To our beloved Filipino missionaries all over the world, let us pray that the presence and power of God will guide, protect, and provide as they fulfill God's purpose to the nations.
