Join Us!
Imagine spending time in the most important and influential country in all of Africa. A country where wealth and wide-spread poverty are next-door neighbors. A country that is experiencing one of the most severe AIDS epidemics in the world. A country still healing from the very turbulent and racist past of Apartheid. A country rich in diversity with 11 official languages and cultures. Africa’s greatest hope is the gospel of redemption brought through Jesus alone. Africa’s hope is South Africa. Consider being a part of exploring a beautiful landscape and pursuing what it means to believe God for redemption in South Africa.
Beam Africa
Just a short drive from most cities in South Africa, you will find poor slum areas, or townships. In Nellmapius, one of these townships just outside the capital city of Pretoria, children go to bed hungry at night. There is over 50% unemployment and many are dying of AIDS. Many of these orphaned children live in tin shacks on their own.
Beam Africa runs a Christian development center in the heart of Nellmapius. Their desire is to minister to the least of these; to bring the hope to the poor, widows and orphans. Each day they feed and clothe 100 children. They also teach skills to adults to help them gain a livelihood. Overall they know only Christ can redeem these people and this country.
This summer we will take a trip to partner with Beam Africa. Our desire is to come alongside them as they minister in Nellmapius.
