A WORD FROM THE HOME OFFICE
The Lord is blessing Acts 1:8 Ministry with growth across this nation and beyond. More and more churches and individuals are moving God's kingdom forward through Christian kindness. As a result, we are looking for people to serve the Lord in this ministry at the home office or around the world.
1 Peter 4:10 tells us; "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it's various forms." If you are looking to serve in God's kingdom through Acts 1:8 Ministry' please email Karen@acts18.org or call 920-494-2289.
 
If God has laid it on your heart to partner with Acts 1:8 Ministry, we have enclosed an envelope for you to forward your tax deductible gift.
