Many additional ACTION missionaries are needed for the ministries of Pastoral Leadership Development (PLD) and Children in Crisis (CiC). The following have been requested by the fields to work with PLD and CiC:
1.Pastoral Leadership Development (PLD): Fifty additional missionaries age 40 to 72 are needed. About forty of these pastors will probably be married, so this is a total of 90 missionaries (husbands and wives).
2.Children in Crisis (CiC): The fields are requesting up to 100 missionaries to work with needy children. Most of these missionaries will be young and single, but if 25 are married, this will be a total of 125 to minister to children in crisis.
3.Therefore, the total number of additional missionaries that we need to trust the Lord for with Pastoral Leadership Development (PLD) and Children in Crisis (CIC) is 215 (90 plus 125).
A few side notes …
4.There are an estimated 48,000 untrained / undertrained pastors in the Philippines; if ACTION had fifty missionaries working with them, this would be one PLD missionary for every 960 needy pastors (50 x 960 = 48,000).
5.If 50 additional missionaries worked among the 1,500,000 street children in the Philippines, this would be one ACTION missionary for every 30,000 street children.
6.If ACTION had 100 additional missionaries working with the four million orphans of Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia, this would be one missionary for every 40,000 orphans.
