Trips to South Africa can include either optical outreach or construction of Abod units. Following each week-long outreach, teams will have the opportunity to stay at the Shikwaru Game Lodge for relaxation and a photo safari. The Shikwaru Game Lodge is owned by Blessman Ministries’ partner, Reaching a Generation. Profits from the farm are used to help fund a broad range of relief and social services for the children of South Africa.

The optical outreach trips utilize Blessman Ministries’ vision ministry in the public schools of South Africa. No professional training is required; training will be available to all team members to perform various tasks in the clinic. The clinics are often held in public schools. Each team member will have the opportunity to sit one-on-one with a child to screen their vision and share the love of Christ.
