VO:
Faith and revelation helped propel the vision that God placed in the heart of Gordon Robertson to start the Asian Center for Missions, ACM, in the Philippines in 1995 even though no funds existed to cover expenses.
GORDON ROBERTSON, Founder, Asian Center for Missions
“I got this great revelation. Did I really think the Creator of the Universe could not provide? It was slow in the first year and then it just seemed to snowball and God gave us the increase. Fairly quickly, it became the largest missionary training center and sender in the Philippines.”
VO
The ACM-trained missionaries, unhindered by the challenges they often face in the field, gathered in Manila to celebrate three decades of God’s faithfulness as they ministered to 304 unreached people groups in 77 nations.
PASTOR DANNY BAYASEN, Director, Asian Center for Missions
“Some I shook their hands. Some of their hands were calloused the sign of the sacrifice, the hard work. We can say that ACM is ready to give birth to international training centers.
We will echo the words of Caleb when he said ‘Let us go, let us possess and overcome.'”

One overcomer is Rolyn Cadiz. For seventeen years, she has been helping young refugees fleeing the war in Myanmar to find safety at the Thailand border. She showed Robertson the soap and tea that their students make.

“We have a children’s home and we teach them skills training. Computer, baking, and sustainable projects. Pray for we want to start a school.”
GORDON ROBERTSON
“Let’s just pray for this troubled region that peace would come and that messengers would be sent from God’s own heart. And the provisions these people need for just the basics of life, food and shelter will be provided for them.”
VO
At the Missions Fiesta, the missionaries received important care they provide others.

“Today Operation Blessing has provided free medical and dental checkups for our missionaries and this is to show them our appreciation as they have been ministering to people in their mission fields for many years.”
VO
The ACM 30th anniversary celebration culminated with a meaningful parade of the nations reached by the missionaries.
Robertson reminded everyone that it is God’s love that compels one to do
GORDON ROBERTSON
And you can ask him to so fill you with His love. That he won’t not give you rest day or night until either you go or you send.”
