ACEM mission department (Special announcement)
Our ACEM Missions Fund is used to support many missionaries, several mission organizations, subsidize seminary students’ tuition and pastoral internships in ACEM churches, as well as sending short term mission teams that minister all over the world. As COVID started in 2020, almost all of our field visitation (short term mission) ministries came to a halt, as countries closed their doors to control the epidemic. This has also affected our mission giving. The 2022 mission donation has reduced across a majority of ACEM churches, when compared to the pre-COVID (2018) giving. For MCCC, our 2022 donation was reduced by almost 10%. In 2023, we gladly see a resurgence of field visitation ministries in every ACEM church. However, if the missions donation trend of ACEM churches in 2023 remains similar to 2022, we will foresee a 20%-25% shortfall of funds by this Fall. ACEM Missions is committed to continue the support for our missionaries, mission organizations, and other mission related ministries. We would like to ask our brothers and sisters to pray for all of our missions work, and to pray for the financial situation of ACEM Missions.
