Objectives

Our vision in Africa is to go to neglected people groups and reach them with the gospel of Christ. The work of a short-term missions team will involve the first contact with the villages, evangelism and building relationships. After the event is finished maintaining the relationships is recommended for a minimum of two years.

The team will arrive at the airport in exotic Victoria Falls, Zambia. Once in Zambia, they will have a time of orientation and training at Rapid 14, Overland Missions operational base.



From the base teams board our overland trucks that will take them to the location that the specific trip is working in. These are locations within six hours drive from Victoria Falls. These locations include the countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, Namibia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Congo and South Africa. The team will spend five days in the village interacting with the people playing soccer with the youth, teaching the children games and drinking tea with the adults.Our objective in the village will be to share the gospel and build relationships with the people.

Description




Teams will arrive at the airport in exotic Victoria Falls, Zambia. Victoria Falls is traditionally known as "The Smoke that Thunders" because of the mist that rises as the water falls into the rocky caldrons of the Batoka Gorge hundreds of feet below. The Tonga tribe in the area are ruled by urban legend and mysteries told by their ancestors about giant snakes and dominions in the skies.

Overland Missions teams bring light and truth to the villages and beautiful Tonga people. The team will be based at Rapid 14, Overland Missions logistical center in Zambia. From there the team will travel into the bush on expedition trucks displaying the love of Christ to these people.

Victoria Falls is ranked as one of the best places in the world for adventure sports such as white water rafting, bungee jumping, jet boating and many other adventure activities.
