“The Acts 1:8 Challenge” – which sets forth a framework for a unified denominational missions strategy based in the local church – was officially launched this past May at First Baptist Church, Woodstock, with the support of Missions leaders from every level of Southern Baptist life.

The goal of the Acts 1:8 Challenge is simple: "To developing strategies to advance the Great Commission at local, state, national and international levels."

Churches interested in learning more about or accepting the Acts 1:8 Challenge should visit www.ActsOne8.com or call 1-800-4ACTS18 (1-800-422-8718). There is also an opportunity for individuals to share the concept with their pastors or missions leaders.
