Purposeful Africa: Overview
In the fall of 2010 we will embark on 6 consecutive cruises (10-15 days each); take one segment, a few, or all of them. Come let our Purposeful Africa ship-based project give you a chance to serve softly in the mission field while seeing majestic, exotic Africa.

On this enlightening journey that utilizes a passenger ship with facilities for storage, we explore the very roots of Africa’s history and legend. The visits to the river’s deltas, jungles, and winding river communities will provide you with insight that is virtually unknown to most. You will see first-hand the hard realities in the daily lives of people who live in these areas; but you’ll also share the importance of hope and your longing for others to see and experience God’s grace and love in action. We’ll work with local and international ministries in discipleship outreach, educational and health programs, building projects, orphanages, plus we’ll support the huge, evangelistic missions that have taken place in their communities. Please JOIN US at work with God!

Be ready for adventure and wonders! In addition to engaging we’ll have an opportunity to see a new world of care plus amazing African wonders! We will see the rare pygmy hippopotami, hyena, elephant, camels, and all sorts of baboons and monkeys during the safaris and excursions. We will be a part of the small fishing villages where you can work in tandem with local ministries to assist them with vital needs. Afterwards be ready for them to take you game-fishing. When you return to the ship our chef will even prepare your catch! The lifetime opportunities are endless.

About Purposeful Africa:
We’re a global community passionate about proclaiming the Word of God to distant coastlands (Jer. 31:10). We seek to facilitate and connect wealth with poverty, travel with hope, and compassion with despair. We are starting with a journey to 7 countries in Sub Saharan Africa by ship. We hope and pray that the people who are moved to join us will help break poverty’s hold. But we’re not stopping there: Lord willing we will move forward to engage, inspire, and release compassion all over the nations of the earth.

Purposeful Africa is a catalyst for people to do something about the plight of poverty. We desire to connect the world of much with the world of little to create change and offer hope through Jesus Christ. Both the giver and receiver of compassion will be changed.
