ACT Intl is an evangelical, interdenominational missionary and ministry sending agency for artistic ministries and missionaries—out of all disciplines of the arts and media—called to serve in missions and ministry services of the Historic New Testament Christian Church.

We provide non-profit status, organizational structure, ecclesiastical covering, and ministerial validation to enable individuals to pursue their ministry goals and desires.

ACT Intl mobilizes, sends out, equips and supports artistic ministers and missionaries who are dedicated to evangelizing the lost and building up the Body of Christ.

The distinctive of ACT Intl is that it focuses especially on enabling Christians entrusted with artistic abilities and methods to carry out their ministry calling as true ministers and missionaries of the Gospel of Christ.

CHURCH LEADERSHIP REFERENCE

We have found that many artistic Christians have felt misunderstood, unappreciated, and misused by local church leadership and have therefore isolated themselves from the church. We are committed to the vital role a local, home church relationship has in the life and ministry of our ministers and missionaries. Therefore, we expect our staff to be connected to a home church.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your observations and insights in the readiness of this Candidate to accept a ministry or missions leadership role with ACT Intl.
