TESTIMONIAL
Our Planned Act of Christian Kindness was a scotch tape giveaway for shoppers. At first, I thought the idea was a little gimmicky, but I realized what a great way this outreach meets the needs of people in our community.

P.A.C.K. Tip of the Month
How to Care:
  • The snowy season is upon us...help a neighbor shovel.
  • Buy Christmas gifts for a needy family.
How to share:
  • Tell them you are showing them Christ's love in a practical way.
  • God's love is free just as this gift is free.
  • Ask to Pray for them.
How to Connect:
  • Invite the person/family to your church.
  • Offer to give the person (s) a ride to your church.
We want your testimony!!! If you would like to tell us about a P.A.C.K. idea that you've done, please email us at melissa@acts18.org

VOLUNTEER PROFILE
 “I feel so blessed that the Holy Spirit has called me into his kingdom to serve Jesus Christ and other people. I am so grateful for Acts 1:8 and their Ministry and how they take their eyes off themselves and serve other people.

We are all commissioned by God to become servants for Him. He can use each and every one of us no matter where we are in our lives. He will raise us up to live a brand new life.

My two favorite Bible Versus:  Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Proverbs 16:17- The highway of the upright avoids evil. He who guards his way guards his life.”

Daniel Raymaker has been a true blessing to Acts 1:8 Ministry. Thank you Daniel for all that you do, it is truly appreciated.
