Our Brief History

Agape Campus Ministry and Youth Leadership Development Inc. (ACMYLDI) (2007 - 1981), then Agape Campus Missions (ACM) (2004 - 1986), and Agape Campus Fellowship (ACF) (1986 - 1981), was founded by the U.S. Assemblies of God missionaries, Ty and Cina Silva.

It was formally begun on November 23, 1981. In General Santos City when they were invite by a faculty member and two students from Mindanao State University High School, to begin a Pentecostal campus ministry in the city. On January 31, 1982, two months later a second ACF ministry begun in Davao City. Four young men from a college - age music group of Buhangin First AG in Davao became the pioneering staff in June 1982.

Three were graduates of the Assemblies of God Bible Colleges, the other one was an accounting graduate from Ateneo de Davao University, Leo Muñoz, a graduate from Immanuel Bible College, Cebu, became its first national director in June 1984. Since then, the ministry leadership has been turned over to the nationals.

At the height of People's Power Revolution on February 26, 1986, the ministry in Cebu was established. The ministry keeps on expanding nationwide. It has now established chapters in Davao city, Digos City and Kabacan - North Cotabato, Cebu City, Tacloban City, and Metro Manila. It has affiliate ministries in the cities of Oroquieta, Tagum, Ilo-ilo, Ormoc, Dumaguete, Cadiz, San Carlos - Pangasinan, and Baguio. ACF officially changed its name to Agape Campus Missions (ACM) on March 31, 1990, in recognition of the campus as a mission field and the students' strategic contribution to world missions. Then last 2004, ACM was again changed to Agape Campus Ministries and Youth Leadership Development, Inc (ACMYLDI).

The current national director, Wilfred Tejano, came to kow the Lord during the early beginning of ACM in Davao City. He is both a civil engineering graduate from the Immaculate Conception College now University of the Immaculate Concepcion and a Master of Divinity graduate from Asia Pacific Theological Seminary, Baguio City. To date, ACMYLDI's fruits are now serving as pastors, bible schoolteachers, church leaders and cross - cultural missionaries. Most of them are now highly successful professionals, missionaries in their own fields of profession, both here and abroad.
