The general objective: The Glory of God and thesalvation of men
“Whatever work we do, we are to do it for Christ. There are many kinds of temporal work to be done for God. An unbeliever would do this work mechanically, for the wages he received. He does not know the joy of cooperation with the Master Worker. There is no spirituality in the work of him who serves self. Common motives, common aspirations, common inspirations, a desire to be thought clever by men, rule in his life. Such a one may receive praise from men, but not from God. Those who are truly united with Christ do not work for the wages they receive. Laborers together with God, they do not strive to exalt self. “Never forsake the true standard, even though to cling to it makes you a beggar.”—Medical Ministry,132
“God calls for workers. The cause needs men who are self-made, who, placing themselves in the hands of the Lord as humble learners, have proved themselves workers together with Him. These are the men that are needed in the ministry and in the school work. Let those who have shown themselves to be men move out and do what they can in the Master’s service. Let them step into the ranks of workers and by patient, continuous effort prove their worth. It is in the water, not on the land, that we learn to swim.”—7 Testimonies,280-281
“Present Jesus because you know Him as your personal Saviour. Let His melting love, His rich grace, flow forth from human lips. You need not present doctrinal points unless questioned. But take the Word, and with tender, yearning love for souls, show them the precious righteousness of Christ, to whom you and they must come to be saved.”—Welfare Ministry, 92
“Angels of God are waiting to cooperate with all who will devise plans whereby souls for whom Christ died may hear the glad tidings of salvation.”—6 Testimonies,433

The Working Principles:
1. Dependence upon God alone for every human need
(John 3:27; 15:5; 6 Testimonies, 359-364; Ministry of Healing, 48-49)
2. Adherence to the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy
(Isa. 8:20; Testimonies to Ministers, 105-111)
3. Stand by principle in every decision made
(Isa. 8:20; Ministry of Healing, 25)
4. Simplicity, never display in organization, and work
(Psalm 116:6; Ministry of Healing, 47)
5. Strict honesty in all matters
(Deut. 25:15; Rom. 12:17; Medical Ministry, 71-72)
6. Neatness and order in everything done
(Medical Ministry, 212)
7. Faithfulness in little things
(Eccl. 9:10; Patriarchs and Prophets, 573-574)
8. Strictest economy in all lines
(Matt. 10:8-10; Ministry of Healing, 48)
9. Cash only—never credit—Keep the organization from debt
(Rom 13:8; 9 Testimonies, 271-272)
10. No irrevocable time contracts—Sign no contracts, agreements, or leases that would, in effect, bind the organization for a period of time
(Counsels on Health, 238; Country Living, 8-11, 13, 29, 30)
11. Few possessions—Consider carefully every purchase, do not go above the organization’s needs and own no more than necessity requires
(Matt. 10:7-10; 8 Testimonies, 52-53)
12. Growth check—After a predetermined smallsize is reached, all further growth ceases andanother ministerial group begins elsewhere
(7 Testimonies, 285; Counsels on Health, 211, 212, 214-227, 239)
13. Keep moving—When workers have been trained and the work has been established in one place, begin another center of influence elsewhere
(Matt. 7:1-5; Counsels on Health, 242-244, 296-298, Medical Ministry, 137- 138, 164)
16. Counsel together with the brethren: Consider carefully all advice that does not conflict with principle
(Prov. 11:15; 15:22; 24:6; Counsels on Health, 296)
17. No Rulers—When no principles are endangered, each is free to seek the direct guidance of the Lord in carrying out His work. When no principle is being violated, none should seek to be conscience for another man and direct the particular manner in which God’s people shall carry forward that work
(Matt. 23:8-11; Testimonies to Ministers, 347-359, 374-386)
18. Point out sin—When principles are violated, be sure which ones they are; then in deep humility of spirit, and after earnest heart searching, tenderly counsel with the party involved. Carefully bring the lambs back to Jesus, remembering how often you have strayed
19. Do not betray confidences: Guard the interests of both the people and the work
(Isa. 39:1-6;Medical Ministry, 212-213)
20. Non-affiliation with any worldly organization, association, or secret society
(Rev. 18:1-4; 9 Testimonies, 175)
21. Strive for unity among the workers and in the church, without sacrificing principle
(John 17:21;5 Testimonies,571-573)
22. Whenever possible, go out two by two
(Desire of Ages, 350)
23. Consider the true Christian personal appearance encouraging cheerfulness, quietness, theft, and propriety in the work, genuinely laboring as Christ did.
24. Loyalty to Seventh-day Adventism, without violating the principles upon which it was founded
(Acts 23:5; Great Controversy, 39-46; Testimonies to Ministers, 53)

MAS-AMiCUS is a duly recognized non-profit, non-class organization of Seventh-day Adventist students in Central Mindanao University. Its intentions were to bring on a more specific outreach focus, in ways that do not compromise our faith; not to be different, but with a message that brings personal joy; to reach within our university with compassionate service as demonstrated by Jesus Christ; to reach out to the community's felt needs and point them to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who raises us to a higher standard of physical, mental, and spiritual living; to share with other Christian and non-Christian students the good news of Jesus' soon return; to reach out to local Adventist churches in loving services; and, to be a nurturing link with Adventist students, Adventist Youth Ministries, and the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
