ACTS TEAMS: A Lasting Impact A
by Haley Day Global Reach Missionary USA Southwest
dvancing Christ Through Service: Short-term intergenerational teams seek to grow closer to God, experience the Gospel at work in different cultures, and see missions as part of everyday life.
I grew up in the church and was very involved with all the “church” activities—VBS, youth group, church camp. While they all held important roles in my walk with Christ, nothing changed my life and put me on fire for God more than my ACTS Team trips. My first ACTS Team was when I was 14. It was the first time I visited the Southwest, USA and I immediately fell in love with the people, the culture, and the landscape. It was eyeopening for me to experience how within the United States, people could live and worship so differently from me. I went home with an experience and with knowledge that no book, class, or Bible study could have provided me. The next year, I went on two ACTS Teams, and after that, I spent three more summers on ACTS Teams.
