Good News for Sydney, sponsored by churches of Sydney, is published by ACTS International which is a non-profit church service organization whose members and supporters come from many different churches and denominations.
Based on the words of Jesus, "Do you want to be made whole?" our goal is to apply the good news of Jesus Christ so that it promotes the growth and maturity of the whole person and thereby help people become healthy and whole, not only spiritually, but also emotionally, relationally, and physically.
We believe that God is not concerned so much about religion as he is about relationships. That is, he not only wants us to have a right relationship with himself, but also with each other—and ourselves.
Furthermore, we believe that God's goal isn't to make people good simply for goodness sake, but to make people whole for only to the degree that one is made whole will his/her lifestyle, actions, attitudes, behavior, and relationships be wholesome.
We also believe that authentic Christianity is much more than a creed. While the creed is important, true Christianity is more than intellectually believing in a creed. It is experiencing divine love, acceptance and forgiveness—and communicating these to every life we touch.
ACTS International was founded in Adelaide, South Australia by Richard (Dick) Innes who has been living in California since 1981.
