We're Hiring
We Need YOU in Africa!

 

God has given us a vision to revolutionize Southern Africa by developing Godly leaders. But we cannot do it alone. We have an urgent need for more missionary staff to heed the call and join us on the field. Will you pray about serving the Lord in Africa as part of our staff team?

 

Believe it or not, your talents, skills, and passions can be used on the mission field - even if you don't feel like "missionary material". God loves using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Just ask our graphic designer, property supervisor, or abstinence program director.

Team Impact

Mission Teams

Our mission team program continues to grow as we host more teams than ever before. This month, a team from Bethesda Christian Church (Sterling Heights, MI) came to minister with us. The team built relationships with many people in the village and shared the truth of God's Word, plugging new Believers into a local church. They also ministered in two hospitals, visiting with patients and sharing the love of Jesus with them. Many lives were changed forever because of the team's obedience to Jesus' command to "Go into all the world"!

Equipping Church Leaders
  Pastors Conference

90 pastors and church leaders, from 40 different churches, attended our recent conference on Biblical Authority. Derick Slabbert (associate pastor at Wellspring Ministries in Piet Retief, South Africa) and Pastor Niel shared challenging messages on living under the authority of God.

 

Messenger International, the ministry of John and Lisa Bevere, partnered with us by donating hundreds of books and curriculum for us to use. All the church leaders were given a copy of John Bevere's book, "Under Cover". They were very grateful for the blessing!

 

"Thank you for making the Word of God clear to us. I also want to thank all the people who donated books and finances to make this a success. May God richly bless you!"

 

"God has really blessed me with this seminar. I now understand what authority is and how and when to exercise it."

Botswana Outreach

Interns

Pastor Niel led our intern outreach trip to Maun, Botswana where they served the ministry of Love Botswana Outreach Mission. Our team assisted with various work projects around the base, led Children's Church, ministered at youth group, and taught small group Bible studies. Josh, our Property Supervisor, was a huge help in overseeing the work projects, and all the interns worked with joyful attitudes. We are blessed to have been able to sow into another ministry in Africa.
