AMCN History
Since 2008
A Network Takes Root
The Asia Member Care Network (AMCN) was launched by Dr David Tan in 2008 in Malaysia. Modeled after ‘Pastors to Missionaries’ (PTM) Conferences in the United States, AMCN 2008 began with the partnership of Barnabas International, USA.
After the conference, an informal network was established. The aim of the Asia Member Care Network is to meet every other year for professional training, development, and networking.
