ACTION INTERNATIONAL

Action International is an evangelical, non-denominational missionary agency that works in major urban centers of Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Action missionaries reveal the Gospel and love of Christ to neglected and abused children and their families through practical ministries that specialize in reaching the urban poor. Action’s three-prong strategy is defined by evangelism, discipleship, and development. Action currently has over 160 missionaries (and many other team members) in 13 countries.

In Gulu, the work is headed by Jerry and Candis Bingham.  Along with their staff of 38, they have implemented 16 ministry programs:
Bible Study for displaced boys; Child Mothers “Butterfly Club” (girls who have either escaped or been rescued from rebel abductions after having lived in captivity for up to 14 years); class for special needs children; Grassroots Pastoral Leadership Training; hospital visitation; Men of Courage (ministry to AIDS-HIV men); Microfinance Program for Child Mothers; Ministry to the Night Commuters (20,000 children who come in at night to sleep in shelters to escape the danger of abduction); an orphanage; Prison Ministries to men and women; Refugee Camp Ministries (55 camps in outlying areas of Gulu); a school for the blind; a school for the deaf; Victory Kids' Club for children with HIV-AIDS (ages 13-17); Village Bible Clubs for children; and Women of Hope (ministry to AIDS-HIV
women).

Be A HERO has partnered with Action International to build two children’s homes (House of Love One and House of Love Two), and a village for the Child Mothers to live in, raise their children, and receive education and vocational training.
