and that He would continue to use these families to share the love of Christ in the midst of deep pain. Praise God for His gracious intervention and healing during Man’s life-threatening medical emergency last year. Also, please pray for His ongoing protection and spiritual growth within their family: salvation for Michael’s aging parents, and faith for their children as they follow His calling.

 

2.Field Visitation Trips (FVT) Subsidy Applications for 2026 
We sincerely thank our brothers and sisters for their understanding and support regarding missions offerings over the past few years. In order to steward missions resources more effectively, and after careful and ongoing consideration, the Missions Committee has made the following decisions regarding FVT funding:
1)The funding arrangement for 2026 FVT teams will continue the adjustments implemented in 2025. All approved applications will receive a uniform 10% adjustment to the funding amount.
2)The Missions Committee has revised the eligible claim items for FVT funding, as outlined in Missions Policy Addendum II. Please note the updated arrangements.
3)All 2026 FVT applications must be submitted to ACEM on or before April 30, 2026. Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered at the end of 2026, subject to the availability of remaining FVT funds.

These arrangements will be in effect from January 1 to December 31, 2026, and will be reviewed at the end of 2026. May God strengthen the hearts of our brothers and sisters for missions, undeterred by external circumstances. Please continue to pray for the missions ministry, asking the Lord to guide and protect, and that the seeds of the Gospel may be sown among all nations.
