PARTNER WITH US THROUGH CHILD SPONSORSHIP
THE GIFT OF SPONSORSHIP
Children can achieve so much, but they need someone willing to give them an opportunity. By sponsoring a child today, you give the gift of hope to a child in destitute circumstances. Your gift of sponsorship provides a child with food, education, medical care, opportunities to learn about Jesus, and a social worker to walk beside them. You also can develop a personal relationship with your sponsored child through prayer, letters of encouragement, sending photos or drawings, or even visiting your sponsored child while on a short-term mission trip.
If you are a current sponsor, or would like to become a new sponsor, sponsorship contributions can be made below:
SERVE OVERSEAS
opportunites to serve in east africa

ACM welcomes church groups and individuals to help make disciples and transform communities on short-term mission trips. As a missionary, you have the opportunity to be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus Christ to those living in the rural communities we serve. While on a trip, those who sponsor a child through ACM are able to visit their child. Many of our short-term missionaries return each year because of deep relationships formed on their first trip. As a short-term missionary, there are a variety of ways to serve. Often, our missionaries visit children and parents in their homes, teach at primary schools, help construct or repair a child’s home, feed children at school, help in our medical clinic, organize an Activity Day (similar to Vacation Bible School), share the Gospel, lead worship, prayer walk, and help train pastors. Visit our mission teams webpage to learn more.

If you are a student who wants to gain meaningful experience in your field of study while also serving on the mission field, we encourage you to apply for an internship with ACM. From medical care, social work, and accounting to teaching children and training pastors, ACM invites interns to work in a variety of areas. Typically, our internships last two months and students can receive college credit. Click here to learn more about ACM internships.

We are looking for individuals, couples, and families to serve God in East Africa for a one to four-year, or even career, commitment. We would like to talk with you more about what God is calling you to and about our current missionary needs.
