"ACTS Missions sets out into the deep by sharing the Gospel with the youth..."

By Melissa Cervantes, Director of Teen ACTS Ministries.

Snippet from her article in Today's Catholic. Friday, August 26, 2011.

"Blessed John Paul II: Young people of the world, hear the voice of Christ! Hear His voice and follow Him!"

"It is often hard to hear God's call to follow Him, with the many distractions that our youth face today.

"There is a constant connection to Facebook, iPhones, i Pods and video games.

"It's hard for them to unplug and listen to the voice that calls them to follow, and be swept away by the only love that will satisfy their deepest desires and longings.

"It is through the ministry of Teen ACTS, that Jesus calls the youth away to listen to His voice.

"It is there that teens are able to discover the call of Christ too follow Him more closely.

"Let us set the world ablaze with His love through the ACTS retreat.

"If you are a youth minister who is currently using ACTS retreats at your parish, please let us know.

"We would like to create a network of support, to share skits, meditations, post - ACTS ideas and ways to spread His message around the world ..."
