An ACMA Mission Lay Formation course for those still wondering how to better prepare for missionary activities. 

At the Lay Missionary Formation Open House in April, two young ladies who have been participating in mission since they were school girls said "We have been waiting for such a course for a long time - it would have made a difference to our efforts". They were among the 50 lay people who came to hear what ACMA had to offer them in terms of formation and preparation for missionary activity

The Lay Missionary Formation Programme kicked off on 29th June with Bishop Luis Antonio Tagle's keynote address at the Asian Missionary Congress held in Chiangmai.  With much humour Bishop Antonio discussed the use of story telling in evangelization and how telling our own Jesus stories we can share our faith.  The evening was attended by 28 catholics who are keen to participate in missionary activities.  Among the attendees was Regina Lim who commented that the session was very interesting and exciting.  She decided after the session to sign up for the formation programme.  This modular programme is made up of classroom as well as practical sessions.  The first proper starts on 13 July at the Church of the Holy Spirit. Participants will be required to go for one of mission exposure trips organized by the five lay mission groups who are assisting in the formation programme. (For more information about the programme contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
