ACTS' Partnership with Summit Ministries
American Christian Tours is proud to partner with Summit Ministries to provide immersive worldview travel programs that serve to compliment your studies of Summit’s Worldview Library curriculum. Summit exists to equip and support rising generations to embrace God’s truth and champion a biblical worldview, and desires to see generations of Christians mobilized to transform a broken world. We are excited to provide hands-on, immersive experiences which will allow those who have gone through the Summit curriculum to test their understanding, hone their worldview thinking, and grow in their faith.
ACTS desires to honor God and proclaim Christ through providing outstanding educational travel for all ages from the perspective of a biblical worldview. We believe God has placed us here for “such a time as this” to bear witness to the truth of God and train the next generation to seek His will in their lives. Our mission and purpose is to use travel and the stories of men and women who have gone before to inspire our participants to become world-changers for Christ.

ACTS Worldview Programs
Are you ready for an unforgettable experience that will deepen your understanding of Christianity and the world around you? Look no further than American Christian Tours. Our two specially designed worldview tours offer unique opportunities to explore other religions and sites and compare their beliefs to a biblical Christian worldview.
The Survey of World Religions program in Boston and the Worldviews in the Wild program in New York City provide perfect laboratories for worldview analysis. Join us for one or both of these provoking journeys that will broaden your horizons and leave you with a newfound appreciation for truth based on God's Word.
Worldviews in the Wild Tour Program
(recommended for 11-12th grade jointly with Summit’s Understanding the Times and Understanding the Culture)
-
Learn to identify and analyze worldviews in action as you are immersed in the hustle and bustle of a modern American city.
-
Visit a wide variety of sites throughout the city and engage with individuals with diverse views.
-
Enjoy friendly competition with your classmates as you work to sharpen your worldview thinking.
-
Grow in your faith and love for God and others as you participate in both service and worship with people from very different backgrounds.
"One of our goals for our students is for them to instinctively weigh every message they consume against God’s Truth. The focused, intentional exposure and discussion of competing worldviews on our Worldviews in the Wild trip provided guided practice in observing and evaluating worldview expressions. The experience tied what the students learn in the classroom to day-to-day life, and the skills the students solidified on this trip will serve them well long into their adult lives."

Program Leader
"Our students came away from the Survey of World Religions with a better understanding of a wide variety of faith tradition, a burdened heart for the people they interacted with who do not have God’s Truth as a foundation for life, and gratefulness for parents, churches, and schools who do teach them truth. Many students and parents state that this trip is the most impactful out of all the out-of-classroom experiences we do."

“Worldviews in the Wild provided healthy and safe exposure to pervasive worldviews in our culture. I also appreciate the opportunity to serve as part of the trip."
