Four ways to respond

There is a place for you in this mission.

Whether you are called to go, give, pray, or partner, your response helps bring Gospel-centered hope, healing, and compassionate care to communities in need.

Africa Cries Out is carried forward by people from many backgrounds — students and physicians, families and churches, first-time volunteers and lifelong servants. Here’s how you can join in.

Four Ways to Respond

Go. Give. Pray. Partner.

Four meaningful ways to be part of the work — each one strengthens Gospel witness, compassionate care, and long-term capacity in Africa.

Go

Serve firsthand on an annual medical mission — bringing your skills, your hands, and your heart alongside local partners. Medical and non-medical volunteers are welcome.

Plan your trip

Give

Fund life-changing care. Your gift supports medical mission, medications, children’s care, education, and the long-term work. 100% of your donation reaches the people of Africa — we take no administrative fees.

Give now

Pray

Prayer sustains everything we do. Stand with our teams, patients, local partners, and communities through faithful, ongoing prayer and spiritual care.

Pray with us

Partner

Churches, medical partners, schools, businesses, and organizations can join hands with ACO to build trusted, lasting local impact.

Support Youth Fundraising

ACO youth raise funds for backpacks for children and for the hospital wall — projects they plan and lead themselves. Back a youth or a team, or help one get started.

Youth Development & Fundraising
Everyone Has a Part

You don’t need to be a doctor to make a difference.

People from many backgrounds make meaningful contributions through practical care, hospitality, medical service, education, children’s programs, logistics, administration, encouragement, prayer, and partnership. We serve every person with dignity and respect — and we never make care conditional on faith participation. Come as you are, and serve with what you have.
