Acts of Mercy is the relief and response arm of Antioch Ministries International. Epicentre’s chapter of Acts of Mercy mobilizes the Church (us!) to meet needs by bringing a response in times of disaster or catastrophe.  WoRship, Readiness, and Response are the three hallmarks of the Acts of Mercy team, which positions ourselves to be crisis ministers locally, nationally, and internationally.  We believe that disaster opens opportunities of not just surviving but thriving, and sovereignly ushers in a harvest for those who are prepared and obedient.
