Washington, DC is perched on the forward edge of national and global events.

Acts 29 exists to magnify Jesus through planting healthy, multiplying churches in every corner of the globe. One new and exciting development to that end is the launch of Acts 29 Español. With about 60 million Hispanics and almost every Latino country in the world represented in the United States, we have a distinct opportunity to reach and train Spanish speakers in the gospel, for God’s glory aro...
