The Mission Awareness Programme

The Mission Awareness Programme (MAP) is an annual event commissioned by the Archdiocesan Commission for Missionary Activity (ACMA) that seeks to bring about a deepening of the participants' awareness of what mission means and help each person to be more missionary in his or her daily life.

With the understanding that each person is called to mission, the programme will help him or her to discern what form this calling takes. Mission is a way of being, of doing good, of sharing God's love, of being the light of Christ wherever you are.

For some people, mission simply means "being Christ" wherever they are, in their everyday settings, to their family, friends, colleagues in perfectly ordinary ways. For others, the call may mean doing outreach such as volunteering in some form in Singapore. For yet another group of people, mission may take the form of an overseas calling, to "leave everything behind" and go.

The programme will also provide some avenues for those who want to be full-time missionaries and allows many opportunities to be with local and foreign missionaries.

The MAP serves more as a formation or awareness programme than as a trip for participants to actually engage in mission work. It focuses on observations of mission firsthand in mission centres as well as sharings and talks by lay and religious missionaries.

The broad topics that are generally covered in the MAPs are :
* Introduction to Mission
* Redemptoris Missio/ Missiology
* Answering the call/Discipleship
* Discernment
* Social Situation/Needs/Mission in Singapore
* Foreign Missions
* Inter-Religious Dialogue
