Whilst ANCOP’s main focus shifted from shelter to education, building harmonious and sustainable communities is still one of its end goals.  In Papua New Guinea and Solomon Island for example, ANCOP gives priority to the sponsorship of short-term training courses that will provide immediate income-generating life skills to beneficiaries such as sewing and commercial cooking.  The beneficiaries in turn teach other members of their community so they too can acquire the same skills.

The relocation communities ANCOP had built for victims of calamities in the Philippines are able to maintain close familial ties through values formation and servanthood by sweat equity.  A housing applicant must labour for certain number of hours towards building the next houses.  This way, every recipient learns to appreciate the sacrifices of each and every one in the community.   Sponsors also visit these relocation sites as part of regular Immersion programs that ANCOP organises.  During these immersion programs, the sponsors themselves labour towards the building of houses and other improvements in the village.  Through the Immersion program, there is mutual reciprocity of service love, respect and spiritual awakenings.
