A WORD FROM THE Acts 1:8 MINISTRY PRESIDENT

God is leading the vision of Acts 1:8 Ministry forward in a big way. We are seeing the vision spread by having our staff on board in cities across the U.S., and then beyond. The advantage for churches to have Acts 1:8 people in their own city is the ability to work locally to move the vision forward.

With that in mind, we have added the following staff across the nation: Tom Bowen of Medford, OR; Keith Adams of Memphis, TN; and Jack Williams of Atlanta, GA.

The Vision of Acts 1:8 Ministry: To create a culture for Christians to care, share and connect people to Christ worldwide through Christian Kindness.


TESTIMONIAL
