Botswana
Although it’s one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, Botswana has the second highest HIV infection rate next to Swaziland, its southern neighbor. The land itself struggles with drought and desertification yet boasts the largest elephant population in the world in one of its national parks. The majority of the people identify themselves as Christians but very much need people like you to advance the kingdom with love and in power.
Zambia
Zambia boasts one of the seven wonders of the world, the rushing heights of Victoria Falls, known as “the smoke that thunders”. An entirely landlocked nation, Zambia touches eight sister countries and is home to seventy-three tribes, speaking twenty different languages.
Zambia became an independent nation in 1964 after years of British colonial rule. Since then, the economy has grown, but the Zambian people still suffer from poverty, short life expectancy, malnourishment, lack of clean water, and the AIDS crisis. Christianity is the official religion in Zambia, but the local church needs support for a solid biblical foundation to raise up the next generation.
Ministry:
In Botswana, our ministry partners envision the church revived, taking the gospel to the whole nation. They seek to consciously mobilize the church through discipleship, to recruit and train missionaries for cross cultural missions amongst the least evangelized people groups in their areas.
You will have the opportunity to partner with a Zambian ministry to equip the local church with training for kids, youth, and camp ministries in rural and urban areas through discipleship. You will encourage and help strengthen the local church. Your team will also partner with youth ministry and volunteer in local schools. After school, you will do sports ministry, playing soccer at a thriving soccer ministry with local kids aged 10 – 20 years old.
Will you share the hope and love of Christ in Southern Africa?
