Concept of AMOR
"New-Old" Concept Followed
AMOR has endeavored to work in areas where no one else is working. There are many towns and villages which have no evangelical work of any kind. These places have from 500 to 20,000 population. Our first love is to go into such a place and begin a new work. We want to meet the physical needs of the people with our medical teams, but our overarching purpose is to lead as many to Jesus as possible and establish a New Testament church. Those who make public professions of faith are led to follow in Christian baptism.
From this newly baptized group, two are selected to be the spiritual leaders of the new work. This choice is jointly made by the pastor of the nearest New Testament church, the newly baptized believers of the locale, and the teams from the USA. These leaders will be encouraged by periodic visits by the pastor or lay work from the nearest New Testament church. This seems to be the method the Apostle Paul used in his ministry. Prayer support is promised and given by those who participate in the mission trip.
