INSTITUTE OF MILITARY MISSIONARY EDUCATION
This institute is a subproject of the Expedition America for Christ and is being developed with the participation of all members of the state associations. We will present the initial ideas to be refined by the participants. We will create an interactive, educational, and online platform for national debates, lectures, and courses, with the goal of continuously supporting state associations in spreading knowledge and motivating us to achieve our goals.
The proposed Institute will be structured based on a century of AMCF history, decades of UMCEB experience, and the wisdom of state unions, combining the virtues and values brought by each state leader in Brazil. We aim to add value, broaden knowledge, and expand horizons through the courses offered by the Institute.
No institution can survive, improve, or progress without proper training, enhancement, and learning of new and efficient methods. We cannot rely solely on oral traditions anymore; as organizations with decades of history, we urgently need to produce knowledge through courses and the creation of literature. It is imperative that we create our own educational and training means in these modern times.
