The Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry (JMCIM), one of the largest Apostolic churches in the Philippines, will mark its 50th anniversary today, 9 February.
The celebration will bring together millions of faithful for a day of worship, thanksgiving, and the proclamation of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Founded in the 1970s, JMCIM has grown under the leadership of Evangelist Pastor Wilde E. Almeda and Assistant Pastor Lina C. Almeda, spreading its message of faith, healing, and deliverance across the country and beyond.
The golden anniversary will feature spirit-filled praise and worship, testimonies of healing, choir and orchestra performances, and the ministering of God’s Word. Thousands of believers from around the world are expected to attend.
JMCIM also gained international attention in 2000 when Pastor Almeda and his team intervened in the Sipadan hostage crisis involving the Abu Sayyaf Group.
The crisis saw 21 captives, including foreign nationals, taken from a Malaysian dive resort and brought to Jolo, Sulu. JMCIM’s involvement in mediation efforts highlighted its commitment to peace and humanitarian missions.
