Mission statement
ACTS International seeks to equip national pastoral leaders for effective ministry and church planting among the unreached peoples of Asia.
Value Statements
We value long-term relationships and commitment based on
mutual trust and respect as we serve alongside with our
national partners, as each contributes its resources to
achieve mutually-agreed-upon goals, and as we share common
vision and mission.
We value planting indigenized churches, adopting appropriate
cultural forms in expressing their Christian beliefs, and in
nurturing and strengthening local churches so that they become
healthy reproducing churches.
We value waiting upon the Lord, exalting the Lord Jesus
Christ, and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit in
all aspects of the ministry.
We value equipping, and releasing national leaders to be what
God wants them to be, always recognizing and rejoicing at His
work in and among them.
We value empowering national partners to local ownership of
ministries supported by local resources.
We value training that is unified, systematic, and
reproductive, with a curriculum that is Bible-based,
biblically-balanced, and indigenized designed to build
Christ-likeness, commitment to the Word and competent ministry
skills based on cognitive, affective, and skills-acquisition
evaluations.
We value the trust given to us by donors and partners. We will
seek to maximize resources, and eliminate wastage through wise
stewardship and careful management.
We value transcending denominational, cultural and national
barriers in forging biblical unity among believers for the
sake of the Kingdom.
We value personal holiness, impeccable integrity and
excellence in all our endeavors.
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible,
authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three
persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning
death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in
His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present
rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power
and glory.
We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful people,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the person of the Holy
Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a
godly life, and to overcome the attacks of the Evil One,
Satan.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost,
they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they
that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender and class
differences.
