ACTS International

has now expanded to include providing Sunday school materials to the Mulu Wongel Full Gospel Believers Church in Debre Birhan, outreach to AIDS widows, vision clinics, and soon, a new ministry with an existing AIDS orphans outreach. ACTS Board of Directors is comprised of a church assistant, a schoolteacher, two small business owners, and a church janitor. Each of us has a passion to improve the lives of poor students through educational scholarships. In addition to monthly communication via phone and social media, we travel to Ethiopia once or twice a year. We are forming relationships with the students, the church, and the community that go beyond a simple financial commitment. We use 100% of all donated funds for ministry in Ethiopia. No member of ACTS Ethiopia receives any compensation- all are volunteers. The members of the ACTS Board of Directors sponsor students, and each Board member donates to the Ministry. We personally cover any expenses incurred here in the U.S. (such as permits, office supplies, travel expenses, etc.). Why we are:
Half of the children in Ethiopia will never attend school. Of those who do attend school, greater than 90% will be unable to attend college. Nine out of every ten students fortunate to have any education will finish with only a rudimentary understanding of reading, writing and arithmetic. They will, however, have little to no practical training. ACTS was formed to help empower very poor students to become self-sustaining by learning a practical job skill. As long as there is an opportunity to serve and be in relationship helping the poor students, widows, and children there, ACTS will continue to return to Ethiopia. ACTS has gained the respect of the Debre Birhan community and its leaders through our multiple outreach programs. Why invest in ACTS International? We feel called to be God’s hands and feet in Debre Birhan, Ethiopia. Many people cannot go, so we look for partners who will believe and invest in our ministry. No donation is too small. Will you invest with ACTS to make a positive change for some of the poorest of the poor living in one of the most impoverished countries on Earth? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read our brief company profile and for considering an opportunity to partner with us!
