Our Ministries

Persecuted Nations

In recent years, Acts13 has directed much of its resources towards outreach and ministry to Farsi and Dari speakers around the world, including those inside Iran and Afghanistan, and has helped to create a new wave of spiritual awakening and growth opportunities for thousands of newly converted Christians. God has uniquely positioned Acts13 to be an effective vessel to reach the Iranian and Afghan people around the world. Many Christian organizations in Canada, the United States, and Europe are eager to partner with Acts13, who is now being recognized by other organizations as a leader in the field of ministry to Muslims in persecuted countries.

What we’re doing:

  • Theological studies and accreditation via virtual Bible school - www.tifcollege.com

  • Worship, Biblical teaching, and apologetics via 2 satellite channels - www.icnet.tv

  • Translating and publishing Christian books and inspirational literature in print, electronic, and audio formats

  • Discipleship and community via virtual small groups

Incarcerated Persons

Since 2002, Acts13 has been ministering to inmates across the United States. At present, Acts13 is reaching more than 150 correctional institutions and 1000+ inmates across the United States. Every month, Acts13 is sending Christian books, theological course materials, Christian articles, and other resources to inmates, including resources translated into Spanish. Demand continues to grow among inmates who look to Acts13 for their source of spiritual nourishment and growth. Over the last 10 years, Acts13 has continued to grow in reputation and name among correctional institutions and is one of the only Christian ministries that is still permitted to visit inmates for monthly worship services in the prisons. Acts13 also maintains communication with inmates once they have been released.

What we’re doing:

  • Mailing Christian inspirational literature to inmates

  • Conducting monthly in-person worship services at select institutions

  • Encouraging inmates through letter correspondence

  • Maintaining a mailing list and correspondence with former inmates post-incarceration

Our Publications

The church today is in great need of Christian literature that can support the growth of a believer to maturity in Christ. Inspirational, devotional, and academic Christian books are widespread in the English language. What is lacking is books that teach deeper spiritual truths to help support a believer’s faith journey to maturity and fruitfulness.

Both our founder, Dr. Fred Saleh, and current President, Dr. Ed Saleh, have written and published several books in the English language for the spiritual nourishment and growth of believers around the world.

These books have been:

  • a source of blessing and spiritual guidance for many English-speaking believers and churches around the world over the last couple of decades;

  • shared with inmates as part of our ministry to incarcerated persons; and

  • translated (or are in the process of being translated) into Farsi and Dari to strengthen the faith of believers in Iran and Afghanistan.

These publications are available for purchase in both print and electronic formats.
