WHO
WE ARE
Get to Know NAFAUM
NAFAUM started as and is a platform where Filipino United Methodists could work together collectively to enhance the Christian life of all, in areas of the Christian faith that affect our interaction with the new land and people which we have now come to call our own. It also acts as an advocate for values peculiar to the Filipino not just to defend those when necessary, but use them as a means of grace and contribution to our common witness as part and parcel of the connection, even as not a formal and organic part of the official structure of The United Methodist Church. By our own volition, however, we observe and follow the ways and discipline and governance of The United Methodist Church. NAFAUM does everything the Methodist way, except that we are not within the formal structure of the church. Moreover, we could present proposals for funding by the general church to any of the general boards. And we could create or design programs that enhance our Christian life and witness as Filipinos in America, and all over the connection.
Mabuhay!
