Africa Christian Textbooks

ACTS started when the burden of scarcity of training tools become a burden to almost all theological trainers in Nigeria in their meetings at ACTEA in Jos, Nigeria in 1991. In that meeting, they observed the lack of books as the number one treat to theological training and need urgent solution if training pastors or teacher will continue in this part of the world. VISION ACTS Books by 2030 will be Africa's leading distributor, publisher, and resource provider, serving as the essential catalyst for Church Revival and Transformation by delivering theological books and biblical resources to institutions, churches, and bookshops, supported by a proven network, logistics, and dedicated staff across Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Chad, and Kenya. MISSION STATEMENT We exist to actively acquire, publish, and efficiently distribute affordable, high-quality theological books and Christian resources to equip church leaders, authors, empower educational institutions, and nurture the spiritual growth of every believer, thereby enabling the desired Reformation and Revival across our core African territories. The aim of ACTS (Africa Christian Textbooks) is to strengthen the church through the provision of serious Christian literature for Christian leaders and their training programmes. The ACTS ministry seeks to equip God’s servants to address the challenges facing the church in Africa by offering the best books at affordable prices. The establishment of ACTS from its very existence has been blessed with a visionary leader who focus centrally on Christian, theological textbooks. This gave ACTS a reason and kept ACTS from the growing temptation of doing any other thing. ACTS despites its small stock became so strategic to all seminaries in the country and beyond. Importing as well as publishing serious theological books and Study Bibles is a strategic ministry that provides vital equipment for seminaries (and their libraries) and for a wide variety of leadership training programmes. We have many testimonies of the huge difference that ACTS literature ministry is making in the preparation of pastors, teachers, missionaries and other Christian leaders for effective service. To reach those in training and in ministry, ACTS has been expanding a network of bookshops across Nigeria as well as Cameroon and Kenya. The majority of these shops are in key theological seminaries. ACTS is able to supply appropriate academic books for those studying at Diploma, Bachelor, Masters all the way to PhD level. ACTS is a Bible-believing organization serving many different denominations right across Nigeria and beyond. ACTS is involved in book publishing as well as distribution. So far ACTS has published close to 200 titles, many of them written by Africans or those who know Africa well. The Writers Workshops and Writers Guesthouse are evidence of the ACTS burden to help Christian leaders who want to write books that explain the Scriptures and show how they address African realities.
