"The ministerial covering, encouragement, and flexible structure that ACT Intl provides is truly unique and allows us to spend more time sharing the gospel through music and media."

Scott MacIntyre
Scott MacIntyre Ministries AZ, USA
“I tried to fit into the ‘missions box’ people created. ‘You can do your art thing if there is time,’ they said. Then I found ACT Intl and I jumped out of the box! ACT Intl has helped me realize my God-given purpose as an artist. They gave me the space to cultivate and launch my artistic ministry! I lost the box and gained freedom, family, friends, prayer warriors, and a community that understands me in a way most others can’t. Now, that is a beautiful thing.”

Brenda
Theatre Director, The Netherlands
“ACT Int'l provides training, front line and back office support, and practical as well as spiritual guidance and encouragement for my ministry efforts. Add to these coaching, accountability, the credibility of a long-established organization and non-profit homebase under which the ministry can safely grow and there is synergy for success.”

Damon Covert
Principle 8 Ministries, MD, USA
"You may consider setting yourself up a private nonprofit repository for donated funds. Yet consider the administrative assistance ACT Intl delivers to you, the artist, the fundraising training that they offer ministries, and encouragement in dark contexts. When taken together, the robust help ACT offered me this decade opened the opportunity to minister to the 217,000 full-time artists of New York City- first part-time, then full-time, and now permanently. ACT also cleared the way for me to donate the lion's share of my royalties back to the ministry."

-A NYC chaplain to artists
“ACT Intl has been a tremendous blessing to Earthshaker Ministries. Because of the great training and the compassionate love for people and our Savior, we have been encouraged and validated as a legitimate organization to reach the world for Jesus Christ!”

Fabian Falls
Earthshaker Ministries, TN, USA
“Their unique approach is geared to the heart of your ministry, with accountability first and foremost to the spiritual heart of God's will being the evident fruit in your life and ministry. Whether you are part-time or full-time, the staff at ACT with their lifetimes of experience in ministry, will walk with you and encourage you so that you will be able to become what God has called you to be. I used to feel alone in ministry, but now I am surrounded by my ACT team, coaches, and mentors. You don't have to go it alone.”

- Chris Cecil
Cecil Ministries, TN, USA
"Our discovery of ACT Intl allowed us the ability to plug into the system that they had already created and their framework provided all the guidelines and accountability that we needed to operate as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Since then our relationship with ACT has enabled us to do so much more than we otherwise could have done. The monthly support we raise has helped us be open to many events where the opportunity to minister was great but it was for free or even at a cost. Without ACT. Intl we would not have started a Christian school of music in Haiti."

- Matt and Joanna Black
Sweet Communion Music, KY, USA
“ACT Intl is a one of a kind fellowship of dream makers who create and who love to support those who create. I treasure their empowering, practical wisdom and encouragement to trust God and enjoy Him. Their orientation has integrity and substance. ACT Intl is for the risk-takers and lovers of God who want to share God's love with others.”

- Anna Marie Blevins
