What is ASM
ASM stands for Advent SHARE Ministries, Incorporated. It is an organization of families who are willing to serve God through sharing their resources and envision to make Jesus known in the depressed communities. It is founded to actively support the gospel commission of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the depressed communities and remote localities through various community development programs and tangible projects.
Why Advent SHARE Ministries?
Advent SHARE Ministries reflects the very essence of the group’s existence. We believed in Jesus Christ the Savior, His love and His Second Coming to this world. We want to share that message to the people through sharing ministries.
Meanwhile, SHARE is the acronym for Service for Happiness And Redemption for Eternity. It represents both the means and the end of ASM. Through community services, we hope that the people would know and accept the Coming Redeemer for their respective eternal salvation.
The meaning of SHARE also fused the dual mode and the dual purpose of ASM. We intend to do actual humanitarian projects as well as spiritual upliftment programs. We want to meet the physical as well as the spiritual needs of the community.
