Children and Youth

In Namibia, approximately 60 per cent of the population is under the age of 25. There are also considerable generational and cultural barriers to reach young people with the gospel. Through partnering with the local church, we desire to see this generation of children and youth become lifelong followers of Christ. Personnel opportunities include teaching in schools (both short-term and long-term), community development projects to help with skill development, and training local church children and youth workers.

Training Christian Leaders

Our vision is to see Christian leaders in Namibia use their knowledge, skills, and character to make disciples of Christ and help them grow in maturity. To accomplish this, we partner with formal theological training institutions, take informal training out to the local churches, and organise conferences for pastors and Christian leaders. Personnel needs include Bible college lecturers, local church trainers, and event organisers. Come join us!
