About Us

Mission and History

For nearly two decades, Acts of Mercy International has been an integral part of the Antioch Movement, dedicated to responding to global crises while sharing the gospel, making disciples, and establishing churches. This aligns with the vision outlined in Matthew 24:6-14. As global crises continue to rise, there is an increasing demand for volunteer corps capable of rapid response. Acts of Mercy represents an opportunity for the Antioch Movement to impact the world, strengthen existing churches, and facilitate the establishment of new churches during critical moments.

Our goal is to mobilize Antioch members to collaborate with our global partners, providing humanitarian aid, sustainable assistance, and long-term development. We firmly believe that the local church plays a pivotal role in addressing global challenges, offering not only the necessary personnel for crisis response but also diverse skill sets needed to meet various needs and foster widespread societal change.
