Hopefully this web site will help to serve in dispelling the many negative rumors about the BEAUTIFUL continent of Africa. Leave me a message in my guestbook or send a note with comments questions or whatever you want aaight?
South Africa
South Africa is three times the size of Texas and five times larger than Great Britain, yet it only occupies 4% of Africa`s total land mass. Come and serve in a country recovering from apartheid. Minister the love of Jesus to those who struggle with class and poverty in a country rich in natural resources. Share the gospel and equip African students to reach their campuses and their nation. There are several universities in Johannesburg. The next generation of leaders could be coming out of these universities. Come reach the students and reach the nation for Christ. The Impact Movement is committed to mobilizing and developing African American leaders to serve the church and the body of Christ worldwide.
For those desiring to minister among the poor, there are thousands who have nothing living in and around Johannesburg. Serve among the poor helping them to find hope in a living Gospel by supplying aid. The Impact Movement is committed to mobilizingand developing African American leaders to serve the church and the bodyof Christ worldwide..Think you wanna be a part of the next Africa Trip?click here...

This is the Town of Soweto...My favorite place to go in South Africa!
Soweto
Soweto was created early in this Century when after an outbreak of illness. The authorities determined to separate blacks from whites, and move blacks away from Johannesburg,to an area separated by white suburbs by a corridor.Logic has it that the name stands for "South Western Townships".Today, by the results of the current census, Soweto has over six million residents.Those who are employed (and 60% are not) find work as domestic help in white suburbs or work in services or factories. Soweto is by no means only an accumulation of tin shacks. There are also better suburbs and a number of more or less functioning social institutions like schools and hospitals. The main impression though is that of great crowding and poverty. Violence and crime are a result, which the police can hardly handle. We were treated like Kings and Queens when we went to the Town of Soweto. The towns people of Soweto really knew how to make something out of nothing and I left the town with a new sense of appreciation for what I do have.
This is African currency...its called Rand!
This is a college called Pretoria
Ministry
We ministerd all over South Africa. Impact in collaboration with campus crusade had a great idea to send thousands of young black college students to Africa to spread the word of God. It was the largest movement of African American missionaries to date!
