invite you to participate in our summer 2025 missions school

Who we are and why we do this

We are a devoted group of Christ followers, serving as full-time missionaries in South Africa and operating across multiple African countries.

After years on the mission field, we recognized the urgent need to raise up godly and passionate disciples of Jesus—men and women willing to live and, if necessary, lay down their lives for the glorious Gospel.

We also saw the necessity of a training school that strikes the right balance between sound biblical teaching and hands-on practical training. Many schools lean too heavily on one or the other, often leading missionaries to leave the field after just a few years. Our mission is to equip missionaries with the true doctrine of Christ, ignite in them a deep passion for the lost and for the Church, and provide them with the practical tools needed to withstand the realities of missionary life.
