What?
“Project Mordecai” is a CF (Christian Fellowship in Schools) Adoption Project by ACTS Church through ACTS Teens – its Teens Ministry. It is aimed not just to encourage the secondary school Christian Fellowships (CF), but also working hand-in-hand with them to impact their schools. We are committed to support, disciple, equip, and challenge the CFs and their members to be soul winners and to make a positive impact in their schools!
Why Mordecai?
Mordecai adopted an orphan he named Esther, as his own child. He loved her, raised her carefully, and she was a good and obedient daughter even into adulthood – (Esther 2:7 onwards)
And while Esther was a hero, so was Mordecai. It's team work!
Esther was used by God to save a whole generation! She did it at a time when all odds were against her. And Mordecai never left her side. He cared for her but he also challenged her at the same time. And he also did what was right in his own generation. That's why the king rewarded him. He never abused his position with Esther ... it was not about him ... but about her ... and ultimately the people.
In the same manner, our desire is to provide spiritual covering as well as practical training for CFs who will partner with us to see their school transformed by the love and power of God. It is not about how many CFs we can adopt, but it’s about how the CFs can be an impact in and through their schools.

How?
Our commitment to every CF that is a part of Project Mordecai can be experienced in 4 major areas:-
Pastoral
Regular visits, impartation (through teaching, preaching, and mentoring), pastoral care including counseling and prayer, etc. That’s right…we got your back!
Training
Regular training sessions, inclusive of on-the-job trainings for skills in leadership, event management, communication, and everything else we think we know.
Events
Support in the form of organized events (i.e. “our events are the CF’s events”) as well as organizing of events (i.e. backing up events organized by the CF). Basically, it’s T.E.A.M work – Together Everyone Achieves More!
Finance
We will set aside a substantial amount for the running of the CF with an option for more should the need arise. Yeah, it’s like “pocket money” for the CF
Mission Statement
"Keeping Christian students and Christian fellowships radical, relevant and responsible for God, school and country"
