Apostal Unity Faith Ministries - AUFM
Apostal Unity Faith Ministries (AUFM) was founded in the year 1996 by the humble servant of God Rev. Pastor G. Samson as a result of the vision the Lord gave to him in the year 1996.
The main aim of the AUFM is to take the ?Gospel? to every part of the country because only the Gospel has the power to save, heal and transform the lives of people. The ministry has been actively involved in Evangelism, Pastoral Training, Church Planting and Caring for the Material and Medical needs of the poor and old people. The AUFM is instrumental in planting more than 25 churches in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu during the last 10 years of fruitful ministry.
Our Main Aims are:
- Evangelism
- Church Planting
- Pastoral Training
- Social Service and Social Action
- Women and Youth Ministries
- Gospel Outreach
Since the world is in the last phase of the end times, there is an urgency to preach the Good News in every place as the Lord designates. Innumerable people are being saved, healed and revived through this ministry. It is our aim and goal to conduct Crusades in every District in the State of Andhra Pradesh if the Lord tarries. The primary burden is to take the gospel to those who have never heard
- Seminars and Conferences
To conduct seminars for Pastors and leaders and independent evangelists and believers in order to equip them for the five fold ministry. Many pastors attend such seminars and are being recommitting and re-dedicating their lives to the Lord and are going in to the field with new vision and anointing.
- Women's Retreats
We are concentrating more on women because 70 percent of every spiritual gathering consists of women. Women are spiritually more receptive and responding to the gospel than men. So by concentrating on the women we aim at getting in to the hindu homes and thus winning the others in the family. Please pray for this need of arranging women's retreats in this year.
- Youth Retreats
We also concentrate on the youth because 51 percent of Indian population consists of young people below the age of 20 years. By winning the youth we want to build a strong church for the coming generations thus winning the country for the Lord and expand the kingdom.
- Church Planting
We have been planting churches wherever there is a need, while ensuring the request and active participation of the local believers. Build small Church buildings in tribal and rural areas wherever there is need. We want to build at least one church building in every Mandal of the district before the year 2015. Conduct regular church gatherings for the edification of the local believers.
- Native Missionaries
We have about 30 pastors who are working in rural villages and pastoring churches and evangelizing the villages. We are seeking for a regular support for these preachers who are working with great sacrifice and commitment to see the great commission of Jesus Christ is fulfilled. We recommend each family to adopt one family of a pastor or a evangelist and support that family with a regular monthly support. Details of the pastor or evangelist will be sent along with a family and church picture to the sponsoring family.
- Evening Bible School
We have been running an Evening Bible School for the pastors and lay leaders who are already in the ministry. There are 30 students in this school which runs classes three days a week during evenings.
- School of the Holy Spirit
We are praying and planning to start a full time Bible School for 40 students. We are looking for people who would help us to start and run a full time bible school in order to train young people from tribal and seacoast villages in order to send them in to the field and plant churches.
- Medical Aid
In villages people usually suffer with malnutrition and venereal diseases and problems with their joints, eyes, ears and teeth. Because of their ignorance they ddon'y give much importance to a balanced diet and that leads to lots of other problems and they usually suffer with problems and suffer with joint pains and nerve disorders.
Young people who are involved in fornication or adultery usually find themselves caught up with dreadful diseases like Gonorrhea , Syphilis and sometimes even HIV Positive (Aids).
The are some who suffer with dental problems because they chew tobacco related products, suffer with eye sight problems due to malnutritious food. Such other related diseases are common in these groups. Pregnant women and lactating mothers are very sick due to improper diet habits.
So in this situation it is our aim to provide proper medical assistance and educate them. We are praying about conducting regular medical camps and check the patients and provide free medicines where ever possible.
So we are looking for people who can be of help for us in this area.
- Social Activities
We are also involved in reaching the people and providing medical and material aid in times of need. Give clothes to the poor women and children during Christmas time. Provide materials, which will help them to re-establish their homes. We distributed many utensils and Sarees to the families whichSarisffected by Tsunami. We also help the people who are affected, by being with them while they are trying to bring their lives to normalcy. We are involved in taking care of widows and orphans and unwanted children. We are planning to start an Old Age Home soon as the Lord enables us.
