ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Ariel and Maria Paz Acuña, the founders of Asian Mission Outreach Foundation, now known as AMO-Global, have dedicated their lives to full-time ministry for the past 35 years. Accompanied by their two children, Arielle Marie Faith and David Kasher Acuña, they have been instrumental in establishing churches and Bible schools in the Philippines, including Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm. In 1996, they embarked on short-term missions in Asia, expanding their reach and impact. Over the next 20 years, they dedicated themselves to church planting, teaching in Bible schools, leading evangelistic crusades, and conducting leadership conferences throughout East and Southeast Asia. On May 31, 2006, they made a significant leap of faith and relocated to Thailand, where they became full-time missionaries. Initially, their ministries in Thailand focused on pioneering Mobile Bible Schools and Children’s ministries. As they faithfully served the Lord over the course of 7 years in cross-cultural ministry, their vision for AMO became a reality.

Today, they are training a new breed of missionaries from different nations of Asia, North, and South America. Our goal as a team is to raise 2,800 missionaries and 14,000 local church planters to be equally deployed in the whole region of Asia until ASIA WILL NO LONGER BE UNREACHED.
