A. Christian Snyder III, PHD-IP, MDIV
CEO, Acts Ministry Inc 

Founder, Acts PTSDheroes.org 
Founder, Good Samaritan News (GSN)
Founder, The Hero Days Golf Tour Ministry

Christian holds a Masters Degree in Divinity; Masters Degree in Pastoral Counseling – Summa Cum Laude, Liberty University Theological Seminary; completed a Masters in Christian Leadership, a Ph.D. in Pastoral Counseling pending matriculation earning a Ph.D. in Ministry Counseling and Psychology, Northwestern University and Theological Seminary, scholastic dissertation (The Christian Solution to PTSD); Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Northern Arizona University, and holds a Masters Certification in Global Missions and a Masters Certification in Social Media from Liberty University. “Dr C” is not a medical doctor or licensed therapist with reliance on many years of successfully mentoring and counseling the most difficult cases of human trials. Acts is a counseling & mentoring ministry that is in co-operation with but reaches beyond current psychotherapies and psychiatric treatments.
Christian is a past Charter President of Rotary International and a dedicated philanthropist throughout his professional career. He has dedicated his life to funding and servicing this absolute solution to every human trial. 

“Acts had been a calling for many years; but like so many of us that get caught up in the challenges of life only to miss the whole purpose of life.  The secret for any person to feel complete is to serve others.  The change from a focus on self to a trained and practice of serving and mentoring others is a powerful awakening and healing for our heroes with post-traumatic stress and virtually any other human condition.

When we replace those painful memory triggers with hope and purpose we bring healing to our Heroes who suffer from PTSD.  We can teach any Christian PTSD client to become a mentor or lay counselor and bring great purpose for the trauma that would otherwise destroy these great Heroes. The qualification for mentoring anyone with PTSD is when the mentor is also experienced with their own PTSD. Our true credentials for mentoring others begin with our own trials.

The Acts methodology is a long-lost ancient New Testament teaching that psychology, religion, medicine, and science have largely missed. To become completely healed from past trauma, one must become complete. We must address both the physiological and spiritual components of humanity.  When we deny that our DNA is embedded with a soul that needs to serve, then we become just another self-centered creature. We can become introverted and even narcissistic. In our own pain, we become useless towards caring about others and we simply cannot feel purpose without serving others. My PTSD clients actually heal me.”
