| What
is it? The AMCF (Association of Military Christian Fellowships) is an
agreement by autonomous national military christian fellowships to associate.
The vision of AMCF is to encourage the formation and growth of military Christian
fellowships (MCFs) within and among national security forces.1
The goal of the AMCF is that every country in the world have an MCF and that it
become mature and effective. The motto of the AMCF is "All one in Christ
Jesus" and that is what we pray and seek to be. How has it developed?
Started in 1930 with four founder nations AMCF has members today in the
security forces of some 120 nations, of which about half have one or more established
MCFs and many have informal gatherings of military Christians who for several
important reasons are not formally established. How is it structured?
Each MCF is autonomous, taking its direction from the Lord. There is a presidential
bench of an International President and 14 regional Vice Presidents whose role
is to encourage and, where helpful, coordinate the activities of national MCF
Presidents, for example in the holding of AMCF regional conferences and training
seminars. 1. Whenever the words "military"
and "armed forces" are used in this manual, the intent is to include
all branches of a nation's armed forces, defense forces, and where appropriate
law and order forces. In some nations it may also include fire fighting and other
national level institutions. |
