"Village ministry taught me what it is like to be a "real missionary". It's just you, the people, and God."

"When Phil was teaching the 4x4 course I was nervous because I had never driven manual (5 speed). Once I was able to get hands-on experience I realized it wasn’t so bad (wasn’t so overwhelming.) I feel more confident because of the training."

"I had been praying that God would give me an extraordinary life and I was just waiting for it. Then I heard that Overland Missions was offering a training course in Zambia, Southern Africa. I knew that it would help me be an efficient missionary, a calling that we all have as Christians. After reading the list of classes they were teaching I jumped at the opportunity without hesitating. I knew that God was giving me what I had been asking for; He called me out loud and clear."

"Located on beautiful Batoka Gorge just outside Livingstone, Zambia there could not be a more stunning location for a missions trainging course. The missions base was filled with likeminded adventurous young people, who wanted to serve the Lord around the world, and to be prepared for the eventualities that would arise."

"AMT lasted 12 weeks. One of the greatest benefits of it was that at the end I had 20 new friends that I know have my back on anything. It is as if Overland Missions now has an elite group of missionaries that are networked across the United States...it kind of makes the world seem smaller."

"We were trained in Wilderness First Responder in case there was an emergency and someone needed medical attention, as well as being CPR certified."
