On November 14, 2025, the Week of Prayer for AMCI workers continued with an inspiring session led by Pastor EC Jovyn Jimenez, Head Chaplain of AMC-Valencia, under the theme: "Growing Together in God's Mission."

The 9th session, titled "Faithful Unto Death: Mission that Never Sinks," reflected on unwavering commitment in service. Pastor Jovyn highlighted three powerful examples:

Desmond Doss from Hacksaw Ridge, who saved 75 lives without wielding a weapon.

The soldiers in Saving Private Ryan, who risked lives for one comrade, though many were lost in the process.

Jesus Christ, who gave His life to save all humanity.

His message reminds us that true mission requires faith, courage, and selfless devotion, anchored in God’s purpose.

"Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life." – Revelation 2:10
