An update from the ground in Nepal! We just received this wonderful report from another one of our pastors regarding the recent flood relief efforts:

"Because of your kindness and generosity, we were able to provide gas stoves and blankets to 75 flood-affected families. These may seem like simple items, but for families who have lost their homes, belongings, and sources of income, this support has brought comfort, dignity, and hope during a very difficult time.

We sincerely thank every individual, church, organization, and member of the AFCM family who contributed financially, prayed for the affected people, encouraged us, and made this relief work possible. Your support has reminded the affected families that they are not alone. ❤️

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

Thank you for your continued prayers for the flood-affected families in Nepal. If you would like to help, your contribution—whether large or small—can make a meaningful difference.

Your support can help a family rebuild a home, help a pastor continue serving his community, help a child return to school, help a survivor begin a small business, or provide essential care to a pregnant woman living in a temporary shelter.

Thank you once again for your generous financial support, faithful prayers, encouragement, and partnership. We appreciate the love and compassion you have shown toward the people of Nepal."

Annette Thiesen, Pastor Warring, and Josh Gamez traveled to Santa Clotilde, Peru to provide training for local pastors and leadership from the surrounding river communities. The mission was focused on four key areas: advancing their discipleship process, training youth and children's ministers, and holding evangelistic services in the evenings.

Thanks to modern technology, they even had a special digital appearance from Ron Thiesen, who joined via video call to share his heart on discipleship!

It was a powerful time together with the AFCM America Latina family!

AFCM is more than a network. It’s a family. 💙

It’s a place where pastors and ministers can grow together, build meaningful relationships, encourage one another, and carry the message of faith forward to the next generation.
We believe ministry is stronger when we walk together, learn from one another, and stay connected to the calling God has placed before us.

Rooted in unity. Built on connection. Committed to the Kingdom. 🙌

Together, we’re strengthening leaders, churches, and the Body of Christ for generations to come.

We just finished our very last AFCM Overnighter of 2026 with a wonderful time in the Great Lakes region! It is always such a blessing to spend quality time together as the AFCM family. We truly appreciate everyone who attended meetings this year and continues to invest your time, talents, and treasure into this ministry. We are so grateful for you!

Next up: We’re heading to the AFCM West Coast Family Gathering, October 19-22!

"Lost people need more than a church that understands their preferences and desires. They need a church that loves them enough to tell them the truth, preach the whole counsel of God, call them to repentance and faith, build dependence on the Holy Spirit and the power of the Word of God, and teach them how to follow Jesus and be His disciple. This is the DNA of AFCM." - Mike Sparrow

Our very first annual AFCM meeting was held in Minneapolis in 1983, with Brother Hagin ministering. At the time, we simply called it a “Missions Conference.”

What began as a small gathering of ministers with a shared heart for the Word, missions, and relationships has grown into something far greater than we ever imagined. Over the decades, God has expanded our reach—across states, nations, and generations—while keeping our heart the same: family, faith, and faithfulness.

This year, we invite you to join us as AFCM gathers October 19-22 in San Luis Obispo, California.

This gathering carries the same heart and vision that marked our beginning—connection, encouragement, and strengthening ministers for lasting impact.

We just received a powerful video update from one of our trusted AFCM contacts on the ground in Nepal.

Seeing the sheer devastation these communities are facing is truly horrific. But in the midst of that profound heartbreak, there is hope—and that hope is because of YOU.

In the video, you can see exactly where your support is going. Grateful families who have lost so much are receiving vital humanitarian aid, including new electric cooktops and other essential supplies to help them survive this crisis.

This is the power of connection. When we stand together as the AFCM family, we get to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Because of your rapid generosity, we are making a tangible, life-saving difference on the opposite side of the world.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who gave to make this possible. Please continue to keep the people of Nepal and our members on the ground in your prayers! 🙏

(If you would like to continue supporting these relief efforts, you can give here: https://afcm.breezechms.com/give/online - Please designate your gift for NEPAL)

Strong ministry is built through both truth and relationship.

At AFCM, our heart is to create an environment where pastors and ministers can mature, grow, and be strengthened in their calling—not only through the knowledge of biblical principles, but through the wisdom and example of seasoned leaders who walk in faith, integrity, and godly character.

We’re investing in leaders today while helping equip the generations who will carry the Gospel tomorrow.

Growing in faith. Strengthened through relationship. Building for generations to come.
