We
live in an ever-changing world, and todays military
personnel are at the forefront of many of these changes.
From peacekeeping to waging war to delivering humanitarian
aid, their roles are more diverse than ever. So it comes
as no surprise that approximately 65% of the earths
nations are heavily influenced by their armed forces.
With military personnel from so many countries stationed
around the globe, there has never been a more strategic
time to share the life-changing gospel of Christ with
the semi-closed society of international military personnel.
Positively changed lives among military personnel will
result in positive changes for the nations of our world.
With contacts in over 130 nations, ACCTS is actively
engaged in the international military mission field
by:
- training military Christian leaders to form locally-led
Military Christian Fellowships (MCFs); currently,
there are MCFs in more than 85 countries
- organizing and conducting conferences, leadership
training programs, and mobile training teams which
equip MCF leaders and members to serve Christ and
share Him with their military colleagues
- developing close, ongoing relationships with national
MCF leaders and chaplains to encourage and empower
them
- fostering friendships and cross-cultural relationships
with international military students, many of whom
will become government leaders and policy-makers in
their own countries
- providing expertise to MCFs by helping organize
military ethics symposia, English language camps,
conflict resolution courses, Bible conferences for
cadets and young officers, and internships
- building relationships with military personnel and
identifying military Christians in nations where contacts
need to be developed
- producing publications, tapes, and prayer initiatives
that support MCFs, MCF leaders, and individual MCF
members
- providing administrative and staff services to the
world-wide Association of Military Christian Fellowships
(AMCF)
