“TAKING JESUS to ALL the World” has been the theme of ACMTC ever since its formation. Generals Jim and Deborah Green, our founders, have literally done this and continue to do so. They don’t use the usual Churchy “canned” prescription approach but have always followed the leading of the Holy Spirit. Neither do they (nor do we!) do the “contemporary” evangelization method—lots of loud, raucous music, all this “offering pulling” stuff, no sir! They follow the ways and means of Jesus and His disciples: that is, teaching/practicing Spirit Warfare principles—MILITANT CHRISTIANITY (MILITANT IN SPIRIT).

     While most modern evangelists and missionaries are not interested in Biblical theology, the Generals certainly are, as they teach sound exegesis. They keep away from the “speculative” and zero in on the “practical”...and the results have proven to be fruitful.

Growth

WHILE THE Generals shun the “body count” (how many members we have), ACMTC has and is growing by leaps and bounds. To date, we are in over 160 countries. Whole churches are “joining up” to “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12) and to “endure hardness, as...good soldier[s] of Jesus Christ” (2 Tim. 2:3). In fact, Africa has become a self-supporting, self-perpetuating force (by “self” we mean “within her own ranks”), sending evangelists and missionaries all over the world with the “Army Message” (what we term “Aggressive Christianity”).

Sick of “Church”

MOST ARE! ACMTC is not a church denomination/organization nor a 501(c)3 government-status entity. ACMTC is a private, God-ordained, God-supplied, God-commanded and God-blessed Christian work. The Generals receive no salary nor do any of their staff. Neither do the Generals (nor does the staff) financially support other workers. We teach the “hearts to God, hands to work” ethic. ACMTC H.Q.’s holds “all things common,” that is, we work and support ourselves; therefore, we give freely (booklets, tracts, audio/visual resources) to all our workers. Many have reproduced our resources in their own languages.

     ACMTC takes up no offerings as do the churches. God never raised us up this way. This “fleecing the sheep” thing has left multitudes disgruntled and bitter.

     We suggest you find a God-blessed pastor (if that’s possible in this hour!) to sit under if you have grown sick and tired of “Churchianity” but are not ready for the “Army life.” However, one can be an ACMTC distributor (of our free resources) without becoming a member. We have thousands of such ones out there. Many church pastors distribute (even use) our free materials.

Hard Times

WITH THE economy the way it is, we have tightened up the belt. Regarding many that desire to come to NM/AZ/TX for training, we say that you can get trained via the Internet. Many that can’t afford to come here (plus we usually don’t have the room!) can watch, listen to and read our website, plus order our free resources to study and pass out. This new means of Internet training has freed many actual members to go out into the fields more themselves.

     Most of you are aware of the many persecutions we have underwent over the years. Not only persecutions themselves, but growth has caused the camp to be split up. Even the Generals have been separated, each manning a post at times. Even our main printer and his assistants have had to leave H.Q. and be relocated for many months at a time in order to help out. Our teams are spread out over many states (working and ministering). Please pray for us. Over the years we’ve rotated trainees/soldiers and officers in order to meet the needs.

New Offensive

AS THE Generals have been working among the Native Americas over the last 4-5 years, this work has grown too. Many tribals have become active in distribution, especially the Navajos. This is the largest tribe in America, and now many of them have become missionaries to other tribes. We encourage this. Since some of us have lived on the reservations, we know that there is much to be done.

     One Native (Cherokee) the Generals worked with in the early 1970's drives all the way over from Anadarko, OK (Kiowa village), to the Navajo Rez to minister (he brings other tribals with him).

     Locally, from New Mexico, our teams work in AZ, CO, UT, and TX among the Indians. Thousands are led to the Lord each year, and many, many miracles of healing and deliverance are reported.

2010

WITH THE new year half over, we are doubling our outreach work, especially among the Natives and Hispanics. This naturally takes our teams away from our several locations for periods at a time, leaving few to carry on at home.

Locate/Rotate

IF YOU know the Generals, you know they will not let laziness nor complacency set in among us. This is why they keep us rotating at different locations—NO MOSS GROWING ON ANYONE’S FEET HERE!!

Holy Days/Seasonal Meetings

WE HAVE now, for years, observed our holy days. These days are special, for all of us come together: we come in from work and mission fields to celebrate/worship together.

     Also, special seasonal meetings (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn), as the Lord directs, are times of special teachings/training. This was started when our camps were divided—members come from other locales for these special times. Some members have exchanged places with others for longer periods of time (6 months to a year; sometimes longer). This has given others a chance to get in on the many aspects of ministry/domestic work. Of course, if some were overseas, this didn’t happen until certain time-spans were completed.

     The Generals have been out-of-country at times, whereupon those in the U.S. carried on without them. This is all part of how we operate.

Privacy

BECAUSE OF all the hostilities worldwide, our policy is to keep names and addresses private if possible. We once published our overseas officers’ names and addresses—not any more. Sadly, we have lost both soldiers and officers in this great war for souls, especially where Islam is hostile—and that is just about everywhere now.

     Workers in India and Burma have come under fire by both the Hindus and Buddhists. These two groups have become more violent. And our old enemy, Communism, has been a thorn in our side ever since we set up in the Philippines and other countries. Therefore, we do not publish names or addresses, unless a soldier/officer writes an article for our booklets and he or she allows his or her name to be printed.

     The same privacy holds true for the U.S./Canada/Mexico—with these becoming more hostile towards Christianity. We do not give out names and addresses. Being a private Christian work, we honor all those who wish to remain anonymous. Families that have joined the Corps have received hateful treatment from their families over the years; therefore we refuse to tell the whereabouts of anyone who is a member of ACMTC.

Starting Branches

MANY HAVE asked how to start an ACMTC branch. Well, we first recommend that you study our various materials (the Internet is a good place to start!). If you feel that you want to represent us in any area of ministry, we all pray, of course. We know by experience that most Americans don’t have the grit or fortitude that it takes to keep within the assigned/designed commands of ACMTC. But we never know unless we allow the inquirer to try it out. Some have started what we call an “ACMTC Library”—a place where people can come to read, listen to, and/or view our messages. We also supply those who set up such a library with plenty of extra resources for people to take and keep if so desired. The Native Americans have been doing this “library branch” idea for quite a while now. We always keep them supplied with radio cassettes, videos, CDs, DVDs, and printed materials. Some even take them to other tribes, sharing the message of the Gospel, the principles of growth and development, etc. This has happened in the U.S. as well as Mexico (and other Latin American countries) and up in Canada. And it is not limited to Native Americans. We have earnest Anglos and Asians too. Indeed, true Christianity is not “race” but “grace”—ALL are welcome into the Kingdom of God (but turning from one’s sins thru repentance is definitely in order—this we preach).

In Closing—

LET US remind ourselves that Jesus, Christianity’s Founder/Commander, suffered at the hands of both pagans and the “religious”—this will be the cup to drink for all who wish to follow in His footsteps. We are therefore HEIRS to the REVOLUTIONARY FORCES which CHANGED the world in the decades/centuries that followed the death, resurrection, ascension and glorification of our Lord Jesus Christ. And yet, the idea of the modern Church being a revolutionary invading force is LAUGHABLE INDEED! This is to the Church’s SHAME!

     The early Ekklesia made evangelism their number ONE priority; today it is LAST. The early Church had a DEEP COMPASSION for the lost; today she COULDN’T CARE LESS. The early Church was flexible in its preaching/teaching/good works but was utterly opposed to syncretism (mixing of worldliness with the Gospel). Not so with today’s Church! Today the Church is mostly worldly with little Christianity. The early Church was very dependant upon the leading of the Holy Spirit—its Motivator and “Energizer.” Not so with today’s Church! Today’s backslid (even APOSTATE) Church relies on managerial skills, committees and endless funding (which is taken under false pretenses from others!), while prayer and true Spirit power are often “optional extras.”

     The early Church was not “BIG-NAME,” “BIG-TITLE,” “BIG-DEGREE” conscious. Yet today’s revivals/outreaches/etc. MUST have all the above, leaving the Holy Spirit somewhere all alone. The early Church expected every member to be a witness for Christ. Not so with today’s Church! One must have a degree or two to do this, with $$ backing, lots of religious props, and must certainly be trained in the way of “Political Correctness” (which omits using the words “sin,” “Hell,” “suffering,” “judgment”—and definitely don’t ever mention the “H” word—“homosexuality”—in the wrong way!).

     The early Church had no interest in BIG or FANCY buildings. No sir! They took Jesus to the world, not the world into the Church where “seeker-friendly”/“seeker-sensitive” dumb-dumbs ministered. Nowadays everything is backwards. You certainly don’t want to hurt the sinners’ feelings by telling them to REPENT! Oh, no, just “love” them in their sins, allowing them to be churchgoing religious sinners!

     The early Church was not a bit concerned about their “religious appearances.” There were no silly fish hats (popes!); no beautiful robes with gold, bells, designs, etc.; and no HUGE DEBTS because of building programs and “dream centers.” The true disciples of Christ were “the Church,” the Ekklesia, the Army of the Lord.

     There was no endless chattering about where and when the early disciples/soldiers would go: the Holy Spirit spoke—they obeyed. This is not to say that the early Church was without human leadership, but the leaders fasted and prayed and acted under the inspiration and motivation of the Holy Spirit.

     The early Church didn’t wait for some “urge” to witness, some enthusiasm worked-up by some visiting “specialist” who “had the power!” and could scratch the “itch” of the saints [and maybe bring his/her latest CD for $SALE$ (whether music or “super” teachings) to motivate the sluggards!]. No, the early Church taught with power and authority: OUTREACH, INVASION, and EXPLOSION! Now we’ve got no power and no authority, only INREACH (getting that “self-esteem” shaped up!), INDULGENCE, and IMPLOSION!—some dynamic “BIG NAME” STAR “bringing down the house” with a song, a dance, a prance, a word.

     The Bible tells us to go and make disciples (“disciplined ones”) of the nations, not build “dream centers,” “mega churches” or denominations—these three are the work of religious demons.

     Today, most “Christian” lifestyles are indistinguishable from that of the world, and most church fellowships are conspicuous for their “coolness”—worldly music/entertainment, tattooing, piercings, dark and sinister clothing, etc.

     There is just too much emphasis placed on “man” and not “Christ.” While many minimize the Atonement of Christ, the modern Church glorifies what “man” can do. How shameful! We clearly teach and believe that the Church needs to REPENT.

     Did you know that the word “evangelism” comes from the Greek word transliterated “martyr” which meant “witness” before it came to denote “the witness who sealed his/her testimony with his/her blood”? “Witness”?! What a far cry from what is being said and done today! What a far cry from all these televangelists who supposedly “win souls” for Christ through greed, covetous lust and humanistic entrapments!

     Plenty of sweat and tears with those guys (crying over your/their finances), but no blood. True evangelism is the telling of Jesus’ life, death, and RESURRECTION (never the one without the other): these formed the focus of the early Church’s message. Now Jesus is presented as a sex-pervert (homo), an adulterer (for the heteros), a business man (for the greedy), a “funster” (for the fair-weather folks), etc. But this Jesus who tasted death for every man (Jn. 3:16) did not die so we could be wealthy and popular. The Holy Spirit was not poured out so that He would become the Church’s “glorified” errand boy. True Christianity is much more than this. The longing of Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and others had been finally fulfilled in the inauguration of this New Testament Covenant, wherein the Holy Spirit became resident within every born-again believer...to be their Counselor/Helper/Advocate in their Christian walk. A Crucified Messiah and a Risen Savior/Lord is what Christianity is all about; us dying to self and carrying our crosses till the end is what Christianity is all about. But the “Emergent Church,” with its “New Way Forward,” has taken preeminence in these modern times. Idolatry and adultery are now accepted while judging sin and the sinner is out. To put it bluntly: “Sin is in; denial is out.”

     Now, as General Jim always says, “Enough said.” JOIN THE ARMY THAT SHEDS NO BLOOD—REBEL AGAINST HELL!
