The Anker Christensen Charitable Fund was created in honor and memory of Anker Christensen—and carries forward a belief that faith is most meaningful when it is lived in service to others.
That conviction brought the Fund to Nicaragua more than two decades ago.
Beginning in 2000, the Fund sought to serve children, families, and communities in northern Nicaragua by responding to needs identified by the people who called those communities home.
Over the years, that service has taken many forms—from clean water, education, health and human needs to community spaces and spiritual encouragement.
But the principle behind the work has remained constant:

Our faith is not something we simply talk about.
It shapes how we listen. How we serve. How we build relationships.
We believe Christ demonstrated that meaningful service begins with humility, grows through love, and is sustained by faithful presence.
Rather than asking, “How can we do more?”
We ask, “How can we love people well?”

ACCF’s relationship with Nicaragua reaches back more than two decades.
Over time, that commitment led us to Somoto — a community where service became relationship, and relationship became something much deeper.
Today, Somoto is more than a place we return to.
It’s a community of players, coaches, mentors, families, and friends we’ve had the privilege to know, learn from, and grow alongside.
