A WORD FROM THE HOME OFFICE
Vision is described by Webster as unusual discernment or foresight. God is the one that has provided this foresight and vision for Acts 1:8 Ministry. As Daniel 9:23 tells us, “The moment you began praying, a command was given. And now I am here to tell you what it was, for you are very precious to God. Listen carefully so that you can understand the meaning of your vision.”
God has provided the meaning for the vision of Acts 1:8 Ministry. The vision led by God is to create a culture for Christians to care, share, and connect people to Christ worldwide through Christian Kindness. Big vision—Yes, Big God—Yes. With God all things are possible.
