The Upbeat Reporter writer, Sharon Miner, interviewed Chad Conner of the Acts Community Center. Chad Conner has such a deep understanding of this passage of scripture, he made it a reality. As founder and executive director of Acts Community, Chad’s dream was to create a community that operated like the one in the Book of Acts in the Bible. A community where the people looked after each other. “The community in Acts had no need because of the way they lived. They were a group of people who were sold out to Jesus and cared for one another giving everything they had to the ministry and to each other. Hunger didn’t happen because the community didn’t allow it to happen,” he remarked. For Chad, community has a special meaning. At age 21 he moved to Las Vegas from Amarillo and found himself struggling with the challenges of addiction. The Lord saved him and brought him through.
