What ACTS does

ACTS (Antioch Center for Training & Sending) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian missions organization that trains and sends young pioneers to make disciples among unreached ethno-linguistic people groups, with a stated focus on the 10/40 Window region spanning North Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The organization is incorporated as a Missouri Non-Profit Corporation and operates from a headquarters at 1885 S. Ogden Street, Denver, CO 80210, with fundraising and supporter engagement executed primarily through its website, acts.global, and a Mailchimp-powered email newsletter.

The organization's product surface is a unified donation and donor management platform rather than a proprietary technology stack. It comprises four core product components: an online Donation Platform accepting one-time and recurring gifts; a Missionary Giving Portal with unique designation codes that allow donors to direct funds to specific missionaries or projects; a Donor Account Management portal for managing personal, payment, and security settings; and a Donor Login Portal with password recovery. Payment processing is supported via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and eCheck. No mobile apps, APIs, SDKs, or proprietary technology platforms are disclosed.

ACTS generates revenue through charitable donations from individuals and churches, with suggested gift amounts of $25, $50, and $100 and the option for custom amounts. Recurring gifts are supported on weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cadences. The organization explicitly frames donor contributions as tax-deductible under U.S. law and structures its GTM motion as direct-to-consumer fundraising rather than commercial sales. No revenue figures, headcount, or auditor financials are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Frontiers: Frontiers is a U.S.-headquartered frontier mission sending agency focused on reaching the world's least-evangelized peoples, with a designated missionary support model. Highly comparable to ACTS in mission focus, donor base, and field-deployment model.
• Pioneers: Pioneers is a mission-sending organization that mobilizes teams to plant churches among unreached people groups, with a donor-supported, designated-giving model. Directly comparable to ACTS in target audience and frontier-mission strategy.

Broad incumbents

• YWAM (Youth With A Mission): YWAM is a large global missions movement running Discipleship Training Schools and sending missionaries worldwide. Overlaps with ACTS in training/sending pioneers to unreached regions, but at significantly greater scale and scope.
• OM (Operation Mobilisation): OM is a long-established international mission organization mobilizing and equipping workers among least-reached peoples. Overlaps with ACTS in10/40 Window focus and donor-supported missionary deployment, but operates at a much larger scale.
• Wycliffe Bible Translators: Wycliffe sends personnel to translate the Bible for unreached language communities globally, particularly in the 10/40 Window. Comparable to ACTS in its focus on frontier ethno-linguistic people groups and donor-supported field workers.
• SIM International: SIM is a global mission organization with a long history of cross-cultural church planting among least-reached peoples. Comparable to ACTS in missionary sending model and field focus, though SIM is substantially larger and more globally diversified.
• ABWE (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism): ABWE is a mission-sending agency focused on church planting among unreached peoples, with a donor-supported missionary deployment model similar in structure to ACTS's designated giving approach.
• AIM (Africa Inland Mission): AIM mobilizes and supports missionaries serving across Africa and among least-reached groups, with a donor-funded, designated-support model. Comparable to ACTS in field-deployment structure and reliance on recurring donor support.

Emerging players
