Christian Mission Trips to
South Africa
Serving Communities in
Subsaharan Africa for Jesus
Mission Work & Impact
If there’s a passion that burns deep within your soul for your Maker, then come with us to South Africa. You’ll see God move and you’ll experience His love for the South African People – a love stronger than anything you can imagine. This love overcame death and that same love is coursing its way through the hearts of the people. It’s a powerful thing to witness.
Following Jesus to the ends of the earth might feel a little scary, but hey friend, there is safety in this relationship with Him! The trust is impenetrable. Will you join us?
What does community look like on the Race?
One Alumni shared: Our Squad is coming together in miraculously fast ways. Walls are falling down and there is a sense of love and comfortable camaraderie amongst us. We’ve created a culture of community. We eat, sleep and breathe our neighbor. If something bothers us, we hash it out. If something blesses us, we speak it.
The honesty is both supernatural and foreign to many.

Straight from the field
“REVIVAL. That’s the only word that could describe the last 3 days for me. There’s a revival happening here in South Africa and I got to see it with my own eyes. Back home in America, there’s such a push for religion and prayer and Jesus out of our schools. But here, I’m encouraged to see South Africa’s younger generations pushing for the complete opposite.” – Allison Ngo

Let every moment of your life be a moment to serve Jesus and serve others.
Let your life be a ministry that reflects Jesus and the salvation He offers each one of us.”
