The Triumph of Christianity
“As for the triumph of Christianity, no student of civilization will ever underestimate its importance. Its victory over paganism was the purest ever won. For it was won by witnessing and enduring, by loving and suffering, by pouring out innocent blood. Conjecture loses itself in attempting to explain the 'why' and the 'how.' It was won by weak men and women, slaves often, and people of no social standing, but it was won against all the power and intellectual pride and prejudice of the civilized world.”
William Stearns Davis, Readings in Ancient History: Rome and the West
The Campaign Approach to the Book of Acts
The Book of Acts is the story of the Great Commission in the first century, where a small group of flawed humans carried out a perfect plan—mandated by Jesus Christ and masterfully administered by the Holy Spirit. Two thousand years later, that exact mission continues with you.
A Field Guide for Modern Disciples
In the first century, followers of the Great Commission faced a hostile, pagan world dominated by Roman legions, imperial infrastructure, and the enforced compliance of the Pax Romana. Today, we live in an increasingly post-Christian, highly secular, and hostile neo-pagan world. Consequently, we believe the operational mechanics detailed in Luke's 2,000-year-old account provide a direct, unchanging blueprint for how modern believers should execute the Great Commission today.
The Acts 2020 Project takes a completely unique approach to teaching this text. While traditional studies treat the Book of Acts like a historic travel journal or a private devotional book, we examine the text as a grand, calculated military operation. Created by a retired entrepreneur and business educator, this curriculum uses the precise language of strategy to translate first-century actions into a modern tactical framework, using an investigative toolkit of Eight Forensic Lenses to reveal how the early church systematically changed the world.
Across 44 systematically structured classes, we look past the changing personalities of individual men to focus entirely on the unchanging strategic roadmap issued by Christ. We treat the first-century church for what it truly was: an unstoppable, pre-calculated global movement designed to break through every human barrier. That campaign never stopped. As a Christ follower in the 21st century, this is your field manual.

The Tactical Opportunity
Because our modern landscape has returned to first-century pagan conditions, we believe the apostolic tactics found in the Book of Acts are the most effective tools available for engaging our secular friends, relatives, and colleagues.
The early church advanced by aggressively analyzing political frameworks, strategically utilizing empire-wide citizenship protections, and turning intense cultural friction into sovereign platforms to preach. Today’s disciples possess a distinct asset the early Christians did not have: instant, unhindered access to the completed, written Word of God and centuries of verified theological data.
Our interactive platform enables you to engage directly with these assets. Anyone—at any level of Biblical reading or background—can use this curriculum to shift discipleship from a passive, private feeling into an active, frontline mission.
