"ACT" is an acronym for Aids Combat Team . The Nairobi , Kenya office of BWM has developed a holistic approach to the AIDS pandemic in East Africa ; it is the Aids Combat Teams.

This is a strategy that could be implemented throughout Africa . The idea began in 2001 when one staff member of BWM began using his car to transport a 21" TV monitor & a generator to show videos of the Jesus film to the Maasi villages south of Nairobi . With much enthusiasm from the school children for this ministry, he then added an AIDS prevention video from UNICEF, and began doing AIDS video presentations to teenage school kids.

The genius of this program to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS, is the Key Man ministry. BWM hosts a "Key Man" Conference in a given area (or country) to find choice young men(often women are included) who are prayerfully chosen by their pastor to be the key man representative from their congregation.

These Key Men are the "fish" we catch in our pond. They are very good fish; "keepers" as it were. All of the men & women who become ACT team leaders are graduates of the Key Man conference.

An Aids Combat Team is one or two men committed to save a generation of “at high risk” youth in East Africa. Each ACT leader has a projector, DVD player, and a portable generator. He then spends two days in schools doing AIDS education with videos, drama and lecture on Biblical abstinence. The third evening his equipment is used to show the Jesus film as over 2,000 in each village will hear the Gospel. In 2009, nearly 1 million people received Aids education. In 09 ACT ministries showed evangelistic films to 1.6 million people and led nearly 500,000 to faith in Christ. Since The ACT ministry began, 6 years ago, our ACT leaders have planted nearly 300 churches & trained pastors for those churches..

There are 17 ACT leaders in five East African countries. Each man is a professional educator on HIV-Aids, a skilled Evangecube trainer, and a ready evangelist using the Jesus film, Passion of The Christ, or God's Story as evangelistic tools. Each ACT leader at great sacrifice will transport himself and his film equipment to remote and hard to reach villages in an effort to save lives from Aids, and save souls for eternity.
