ACTS, in this case, is a prison ministry which specializes in drug & alcohol
treatment.  Most drug & alcohol programs teach that once an
alcoholic/druggie, always an alcoholic/druggie.  ACTS tells them that they
do not need to live under this label.

ACTS, at least in PA, is not allowed to directly teach the glorious
salvation, but through a ministry which emphasizes a recovery marked by
hope, forgiveness and acceptance, many are coming to Jesus.

The souls saved through this ministry really know the meaning of "Amazing
Grace!"
