The Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry (JMCIM) is a Oneness Pentecostal denomination in the Philippines.

History

The JMCIM was founded on February 14, 1975 as "The Jesus Church" by Evangelist-Pastor Wilde E. Almeda,[1] together with his wife, Assistant Pastor Lina C. Almeda, in Urduja Village, Novaliches, Quezon City.[2]

In December 2000, 12 evangelists from the church were held hostage by Abu Sayyaf, a Jihadist militant and pirate group.[3][4]
