ANFGM – Dubai: An Epic of Spiritual Asylum

We will discover the value of the major developments and key persons in ANFGM Dubai outreach’s history.
Some of the major developments were rendered and led by our dedicated pastors and brethren who served as disciples longing to see the coming back of the Lord Jesus.
Knowing Dubai
Dubai is the second largest emirate of seven in the United Arab Emirates. This oasis is known for its sand dunes being sculptured by the wind and now acclaimed as one of the world’s most vibrant and sprawling metropolis with its breath taking skyscrapers that houses different nationalities from all over the world.
ANFGM Dubai’s Journey Began
It was June of 2003. In obedience to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to continue in reaching out to the other Emirates of UAE, a meeting was convened in
Karama, Dubai led by Sr. Ptr. Jun de Jesus with the favorable assistance of Elder Sally de Jesus and other members of the Mission Team along with brethren from Sharjah and Dubai led by Ptr. Bill Amores. The First Prayer Car drove right after the meeting in the commercial area of Karama where the biggest numbers of Filipinos reside. This was followed by a series of Jericho March.
On August 13, 2004, Ptr. Bill Amores was appointed as temporary pastor while Ptr. Rico Gonzales was formally endorsed on December 3, 2004. He was
later ordained, formally installed and serving as Dubai Pastor until the present time.
The Growing Ministry
The formal worship was inaugurated on February 13, 2004 held in York International Hotel, Bur Dubai. This launching was witnessed by 15 attendees from
Dubai and some brethren from Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. This outreach is 8 years in existence and is bound to set a history of records in terms of the numbers of believers second to ANFGM Abu Dhabi, tremendously growing from 200 to 300 attendees, who put forth commendable efforts through saturating the major areas of Dubai by the Gospel. The assiduous outreach leadership is also conducting a Tuesday worship service at the Holy Trinity Compound.
Testimonies and Twists of Faith
The pastor himself vindicated that the outreach is enjoying the unison of the congregation. Some of their members may not continue due to some conflicts of their schedules, but their church workers are growing rapidly in number. Their faith was tested when the leaders were divided due to miscommunication and differences in doctrines. But God was able to reunite them. These indifferences did not affect the workers and members of the church because the church leaders demonstrated mature ways in spearheading the outreach. One of the testimonies that the outreach can share is that new joiners carry on attending the church because they can feel God’s love genuinely in their lives.
God is Working Exuberantly
ANFGM Dubai is presently holding their worship services in Bur Juman Rotana. In 8 years of worshipping the Lord, the members and workers have drastically amplified. The outreach is praying and hoping that the whole congregation will be accommodated in a bigger worship center and a more spacious pastoral house. Recently, the outreach had conducted their first Couples Night which was participated by 50 couples. It was a big blast for couples in intensifying their great love to the Lord. The outreach is also engaged in educating the minds and hearts of youngsters that has been reported to be increasing in number.
ANFGM- Dubai joins the celebration
The outreach is very excited in marking the 23rd anniversary of ANFGM. Everyone is excited for the celebration of faith and unison. The outreach is the
overall in-charge of the anniversary’s task force.
A Sense of Gratitude with a Vision
The outreach members are very grateful for all the blessings that God has given them. They possess a vision of intensifying the faith of the believers and
spreading the good news in whatever journeys of life they will take in any part of the world. Taking the principle of “every grain must be taken care of”, the outreach believes that the ANFGM Church must have a concrete strategy in setting long term goals and plans for all the brethren most especially those who are repatriating back home, who are migrating to other countries and who are being relocated in the U.A.E. or any GCC countries. They strongly believe that there must be a system wherein the church can maintain its link with these brethren. The outreach has envisioned these brethren to be the pioneers in putting up an ANFGM Church. There should be extensive and comprehensive trainings that must be done with these brethren so that the vision of ANFGM Church will be realized. One of the key projects of the outreach is to put this vision into action. Their goal is to continue the relationship and to prepare its members to become leaders in planting churches wherever God will place them in any part of the world.
