This area is wrought with starvation, lack of medical care, dangerous drug cartels, and devastating sex trafficking.

The week included 

Answering the Call’s discipleship program, Generation of Promise, is a two-week experience designed for young adults to discover of the heart of the Father, their identity in Christ and the battle that rages against His truths. This time also will include an exploration into missions and God’s call in each of our lives, all while adventuring, serving and resting in the lush Costa Rican rain forest.*

This team will join a local ministry that, alongside Answering the Call and other partners, has established a home for children whose parents were killed during the height of persecution in this country.The team will minister to these children. In addition the team will interact in villages surrounding this area to bring both the love of Jesus to the persecutors and hope for those who were so brutalized.*

The previous regime in Khartoum targeted this area in Sudan as the focal point of a genocide campaign. The bombing has ceased and for four years, Answering the Call has provided this region much-needed emergency relief, finally allowing the people to begin to rebuild. The team will minister in the area where ATC is constructing a secondary school. In addition to this, they will press into other nearby areas to share the good news by way of the Jesus Film.*

This trip will mark ATC’s first venture into an undisclosed country in Central Asia. While it is a new field, contacts have been established that will allow us to maintain our focus on telling the story of Jesus and coming alongside those who are facing persecution and oppression. According to Open Doors, the persecution in this country is very high and only increasing. Christians compose less than 3% of the population, but great openness to the Gospel and growth is being recorded. This nation has recently passed anti-conversion legislation, but this won’t stop the team from sharing the good news by way of the Jesus Film and in any other way possible.*

The team will encourage and accompany the local pastors and evangelists as they continue pushing further into Darfur to share Jesus with the unreached people group, the Rizegat or Janjaweed. The Jesus Film, storytelling and preaching of the good news will be accompanied by some humanitarian aid.*
