The local church we work with continues to advance the kingdom through the doors and partnerships that God opens. The harvest in Cape Town is very real and the people of Cape Town are very open to the Gospel. Our team(s) will have the opportunity to share the hope of Jesus Christ throughout some of the most hopeless parts of South Africa.
Our days are packed with a wide range of ministry; you will have the opportunity to share your personal testimony, share the hope of Jesus, and pray with people through house to house evangelism. You will also have the opportunity to love on all of the kiddos as we help lead the "WAM Kids in VBS-style programs in the impoverished and struggling communities.
We will fly to one of the most beautiful places on earth...Cape Town. We'll minister doing home to home visits and community outreaches, host a church service, spend time at some small schools within the community we will be focussing on, share in a fun way at an orphanage, and even take the kids out with us on an excursion.
In Cape Town everyone will have the option to participate in the once-in--lifetime (totally safe) great white shark cage dive. Whether you want to go in the cage yourself or just simply watch from the bow of the boat, it will definitely be an adventure to talk about for years! We'll take a unique twist on another free day and head to Boulders Beach; its soft sand and slightly warmer sea and are home to a large colony of endangered African penguins. Lastly, we'll have a chance to do an overnight Safari and see the Big 5!
