A WORD FROM THE Acts 1:8 MINISTRY PRESIDENT
My daily prayer routine includes a modified version of the prayer of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:10). “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. God has been granting my request to bless my family and expand the ministry of Acts 1:8.
Our focus in the future is to expand ministry growth through staff worldwide, technology development, and the Acts 1:8 Foundation. May God continue to grant this request.

TESTIMONIAL
“For our Planned Act of Christian Kindness, we did an Easter Egg hunt. We hid over 10,000 eggs filled with candy or change. On the form for registering the children for the hunt, was a question of what did the family need. Now we are going to spend time granting those needs to each family.”
