Ministry Needs, Praises & Prayer Requests
SUPPORT ACM
Why we need partners and sponsors for ACM:
ACM by faith looks to God for all its financial and material needs. The ministry has no fixed amount for its monthly running costs. ACM doesn't have the opportunity to receive tithes and offerings even from its mission fields as it is working among the underprivileged in all aspects of society. As its motto "Voice to the Voiceless, Known to the Unknown" suggests, ACM only provides to people without asking anything in return. Your partnership and sponsorship will make a marked difference in our mission fields.

Child Sponsorships (monthly) – As a child sponsor with Agape Christian mission you are connected with a specific orphan or child from a family in critical need.
