The Days Of Small Beginnings
How ACMTC Started-- A Very Condensed Version
Continually the Lord reminds us to despise not the days of small beginnings. And as we look at
life, how the very process of it begins with the seed, the smallest entity, and then that in turn
grows and produces and brings forth fruit. How important it is that we believe God and that we
continue to obey His commands unto us. For when we will believe in Him, He proves Himself to
be faithful. In the early 1980's before General Jim & myself opened up for public ministry we had
an unshakeable burden to witness through gospel literature. At the time we were on a very small
budget and living on the edge of poverty. We had always put God first in our finances even if it
meant we did without, but we didn't mind that, in fact we grew used to sacrifice. So at that time,
the Lord put it on our hearts to put together and have printed the testimony tract of our salvation
story, "Where in hell is God?" As we worked feverishly on the project we felt the challenge of the
Lord in our hearts. We only had a small emergency savings account and God told us to take it all,
every dime of it, and put it into the printing of the tract. So with the help of a few others, we
took our resource and had the booklet printed. Little did we know that step of faith would lead
us in the footsteps that God had ordained for us. When we had the first printing done and on our
living room floor, the Lord spoke to us through prophetic utterance and told us that He would
multiply our sacrifice, and that the printed materials He would have us to do in the future would
go around the world by the tens of millions. And now twenty one years later God has kept His
Word to us and the literature produced has gone around the world over and over again.
From the beginning God has directed our paths and has ordained what He wanted to be brought
forth through us and by us. After the first printing, we used to spend all of our extra money that
we got by denying ourselves on printing more tracts and distributing them as best we could. As
time progressed, the Lord moved us along and took us into the ministry of deliverance. The
warfare message became more real as we opened up to public ministry and began casting devils
out of so many Christians who came, desperate for help. From that, the concept of ACMTC
emerged, as the Lord greatly burdened us for missions and for those who needed desperately the
Word of God and the understanding of spiritual warfare. From those initial days of mission
travels, and the distribution of teaching materials world wide free of charge, the growth of
ACMTC has been tremendous. We do not try to establish that which is stagnant, but we desire to
see men and women, boys and girls, move with God and obey the commands and call of God.
Far too many organizations are concerned with their own profile, their own ambition, rather than
the souls of the perishing. Therefore entirely too much time, materials, money and human
resources are wasted in building up organizations which are not flexible enough to really reach the
vast multitudes who make up the endless mass of humanity, dying in their sins, blinded in their
darkness, empty without the Saviour.
Receiving the Lord's burden for souls, we have tried to seek the Lord so that we did not just
become one more missionary organization locked into our own culture. We prayed that
whatsoever the Lord would use us to produce could be sent around the world freely in order to
embolden others to become soldiers for the Lord, encouraging them to become the missionaries,
the soldiers marching into the fields of battle. God has made a way for us every step of the way,
and we are confident that His goodness will continue. The literature and teaching tapes have
encouraged multitudes around the world to stand for the Living God, to dedicate fully unto Him
and to go forth in His purposes and will. Consequently the glory goes to our God who is able far
beyond what any of us would believe. When we have trusted Him we have never seen Him to let
us down. Because we learned a long time ago that we do not set up the program, but God has
the preeminence, and we must wait upon Him and do what it is that He wants. Now there are
distributors, frontline soldiers, and libraries throughout even many remote regions of the world.
The videos and tapes are played in villages, alongside highways, in buses, wherever and however
the message can go forth.
God has also greatly blessed the Aggressive Message through the medium of radio. Starting out
small with only 2 messages a week on a local AM station, Battle Cry Sounding has now expanded
around the world and is heard many hours a day on 5 major shortwave stations (times and
frequencies are listed back on homepage). Battle Cry Sounding has always been controversial,
and the Aggressive Message was initially kicked off the air by some stations due to the
complaints of angry church-goers. Nevertheless, we are more determined than ever to broadcast
the truth around the world. Requests continue to arrive in response to messages heard on radio.
The inventiveness of the soldiers of the Lord world wide is a joy to behold, for men and women,
boys and girls, have been activated to become aggressive in their belief and witness for Christ.
We do not advise God's people to die sitting stagnant on the church bench, but to march forward
and wage an active warfare against the enemy to rescue the perishing from the grips of hell.
We continue to see the ACMTC vision spring to life in countless multitudes, and to us this is our
joy. For it was through the Spirit that we came alive in Him, and it is through the same Spirit that
men and women, boys and girls, will continue to go forth in the name of Jesus, declaring who He
is unto lost generations. The seed was planted, the hope was received, and the God who
multiplies continues to bring forth the witness of His truth. The same words of life that God gives
to us, we freely give to others, and there is no end to His glorious revelation. As God continues
to bring forth, let us rejoice that He is worthy to be believed, to be trusted, to be praised.
ACMTC is nothing more than people believing in God and obeying His commands. It is not old
and dusty and crusty, it is simply alive in the commanding presence of the Captain of our
salvation. We believe that if the soldiers receive literature and tapes, and study the same, that
they cannot help but get into battle for the Lord. And as the battle rages then they will inevitably
know the Lord in greater ways and find Him to be able. The same God that we know, who has
made a way for us, will make the way for all of those who believe. The story of ACMTC is
simple: believe God, seek for His vision, obey His commands and see Him bring forth. Anyone
around the world can be stirred and equipped, and souls may be won for the Kingdom of the
Living God. God is bringing forth a Spirit people who will obey and see how great, how endless,
how able is our God.
