Mobile Impact Teams
Mobile Impact Teams (MIT) began in September 2005 with the purpose of fulfilling the great commission spelled out in Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” The teams are designed to give members in-depth experience in missions and the opportunity to fall deeper in love with Jesus while serving.
Each team is made up of 3-6 former ACTS students and will serve for up to one year on the international/domestic mission field. The team will be involved in church planting or be anchored to the local church, and maintain a primary focus on evangelism and discipleship. The teams will work alongside foreign nationals that have shared vision and are capable of continuing the work.
The first team included Chris Sutton, Hollie Stansbury, Alicia Small and Jamie Wright and Karly (Swanson) Wright. Their mission was to establish an evangelistic campus ministry in Iasi, Romania to a university of nearly 100,000 college students. Currently our second team, Eli Moyer, Keith Rumble, Paul Schneider and Trevor Jensen are assisting in a new church plant in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Current Team: San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is the “Philadelphia” of Mexico; the location of Mexico’s independence. But what is not widely known about this Colonial city of 70,000 is that approximately 10% are Americans! They come from all over for many different reasons; some just to live out their retirement years and others in a “search for truth” in one of the many cults or “alternative” religions available to them in San Miguel. What is noticeably missing is a dynamic body of believers who love Jesus and are fully devoted to His Word, worship and serving! We can envision a church where the ample resources of the body can be used to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the Mexican people living in the 300+ villages on the outskirts of San Miguel. God has given us a clear vision for a new church in San Miguel! He is bringing the team and resources together for a projected start date of early 2009.
