What is Mission South Africa?
Mission South Africa is a chance to serve God and the children and communities of South Africa in partnership with Blessman Ministries, Inc.
Where do we go and what do we do?
Trip projects could include providing optical care in the public school system and/or working on a new feeding center/worship center. Teams will have the opportunity to visit the Shikwaru Game Lodge for a photo safari.
Optical Outreach Trip:
These trips utilize Blessman Ministries’ optical care ministry in the public schools of South Africa. No professional training is required; training will be available to all team members.
Construction Trip:
The construction trips are generally focused on Blessman’s new feeding center, the Del Cramer Campus. This campus will feed 150 children with food provided through Meals from the Heartland. Teams will have a chance to assist in these daily feedings at the Del Cramer Campus or other local feeding centers.
