Our Pillars

Core areas of work. One integrated response

ATC responds to community needs through a holistic model that connects faith, learning, leadership, healing, and practical livelihood support.

01

Disciple Making Movement Pillar

The primary aim of the Answering the Call Organization is to drawing people closer to God by yielding to Christ urge for us to make disciples of all nations. This pillar intention is to bring spiritual nourishment to all the Nuba people and beyond without any discrimination. It will do so by providing supportive hand to the servants of God through short refresher trainings. This will in turn a have impact in the society by gaining more flock to Christ. Mass evangelization will also be encouraged through crusades, spiritual conferences and ‘get together meetings.’

02

Education Pillar

Formal education is a serious issue in Nuba Mountains. Many children are not able to pursue education because of few facilities which are not fully equipped and lack stationaries. There are few secondary schools, majority of which have untrained academic staff. Many girls still miss out to join schools because either the parents cannot support them to send them to school or they get pregnant early and drop out from schools. There are no colleges for those who graduate from high school to continue furthering their education. This pillar aims to address these challenges by advocating for rapid girl child education, providing academic materials and supplies to various primary schools, train local teachers and equip them with the modern skills that are required. The organization aims to build one secondary school in future that will be able to absorb the students who finish primary school and are not able to progress with their high school studies. The long term will be to build a college where majority can further their education.

05

Socioeconomic Development Pillar

In order to make the Nuba people reliable in future and to depend on themselves, there is need to launch socioeconomic projects such as small medium enterprises like tailoring. Farmers need to be trained on the modern methods of farming. This will include land preparation techniques, ploughing, weeding, harvesting as well as storage of farm’s produce. Farmers also need to be trained on how to diversify their farming activities such as poultry rearing, horticulture, cash crop farming among others.

LEADERS TRAINED A total of 82 leaders were successfully trained through the leadership development program. The training brought together leaders for a meaningful and impactful time of learning, fellowship, spiritual growth, and personal development. Throughout the program, participants were equipped with valuable knowledge, practical leadership skills, and biblical principles to strengthen their ability to lead and serve effectively in their churches and communities. The training provided an opportunity for the leaders to deepen their understanding of responsible and servant leadership, strengthen their faith, and learn how to positively influence the people entrusted to their care. The sessions also created a supportive environment where participants could share their experiences, learn from one another, build stronger relationships, and encourage each other in their leadership journeys. Through prayer, teaching, group discussions, and fellowship, many leaders were inspired and renewed in their commitment to serve God and their communities with integrity, wisdom, humility, and dedication. We give thanks to God for the successful completion of this important training and for every life that was touched, strengthened, encouraged, and transformed. We believe that the knowledge and spiritual lessons gained during the program will continue to bear fruit as these 82 leaders return to their churches and communities better equipped to lead, mentor others, and contribute to positive and lasting change. We pray that God will continue to guide, strengthen, and use each of these leaders as instruments of hope, peace, unity, and transformation in the places where they serve.

Visit to Kandaka Orphanage Primary School, Kauda – Nuba Mountains A memorable and heartwarming visit was made to Kandaka Orphanage Primary School in Kauda, located in the Nuba Mountains. The purpose of the visit was to spend quality time with the children, share the love of Christ, and encourage them through prayer and the teaching of God's Word. During the visit, we gathered together with the children in an atmosphere filled with joy, hope, and faith. We shared biblical messages that reminded them of God's unfailing love, His faithfulness, and His wonderful plans for their lives. We also prayed with each child, asking God to protect them, strengthen them, and guide them as they continue their education and grow in His grace. The children responded with great enthusiasm, participating in prayers, singing songs of praise, and listening attentively to the words of encouragement. Their smiles, laughter, and joyful hearts were a powerful reminder that even in challenging circumstances, the love of Christ can bring comfort, peace, and renewed hope. This visit was not only a blessing to the children but also to everyone who participated. It strengthened our commitment to supporting vulnerable children through spiritual encouragement, compassion, and practical acts of love. We were reminded that every child is precious in the sight of God, deserving of love, care, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. We give thanks to God for opening this opportunity to minister to the children of Kandaka Orphanage Primary School. We pray that the seeds of faith planted during our visit will continue to grow in their hearts, inspiring them to become strong, hopeful, and faithful leaders in their communities. May God continue to bless, protect, and provide for every child, teacher, and caregiver at the school.
