Short Term Serving Opportunities

 

ACT (Advocates for Community Transformation)

Join ACT every second Saturday of the month for community prayer visits in West Dallas from 1 to 4 pm. As we seek to bring justice to this community, we need the Body of Christ to support residents and families who are seeking change and safer neighborhoods.

ACT (Advocates for Community Transformation) is an inner-city justice organization established to empower Dallas citizens to create safer neighborhoods where the transforming presence of Jesus Christ is experienced. By representing inner-city residents and mobilizing volunteer legal teams, ACT holds the owners of crime-ridden properties accountable.

Meet us at the ACT offices (2215A Canada Dr., Dallas, TX 75212) at 1 pm. From there, we will break up into prayer teams and pray with families in their homes. To get involved, contact Maria Pacheco at mpacheco@actdallas.org or 214-951-9151.
