“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.”

— Matthew 25:35-36 (NLT)

  • NAYBA

    ACC is proud to partner with NAYBA. They share our passion for community engagement, with Jesus at the centre of their mission. NAYBA is not about taking the place of the local church, but doing whatever they can to empower churches to bring community transformation. In addition to NAYBA’s Faith-Action Audits, they’ve also developed a menu of NAYBA Recognised Projects (NRPs). When it comes to community engagement, churches no longer have to reinvent the wheel. Instead, the NRP menu is there to help them with best-practice projects which are replicable, and already have the runs on the board when it comes to transforming people and communities.
