Our Logo expresses AFM’s vision sacramentally through color and shape. The orange in AFM's logo represents the fire of the Holy Spirit falling upon unreached people groups. The blue globe represents the priestly ephod, and thus the priestly ministry of our cross cultural workers who "declare the praises of him who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light" (I Peter 2:8-9).

Peter, upon whom Jesus built the Church, was given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 16.19) and AFM’s mission is to unlock the chains of bondage which enslave the unreached peoples at the ends of the earth. AFM has the keys of anointing, support, network, knowledge, purpose, training, history and determination to help every segment of the Anglican Communion to be a meaningful part of completing the Great Commission and doing it Anglicanly.
