Mission Tracks

Pioneer Teams-Pony trek to the far peaks and valleys of the Maluti Mountains, reaching the unreached and unevangelized villages of the Maluti Mountains. Share Bible stories with those who may have never heard. Pray with people of the village. Help define and develop "preaching points" in new areas. Help find and map new areas and villages where no Christian work exists. Utilize your time to seek and develop a vision from God about how your church can be involved in reaching the Basotho.

Prayer Teams-Pray in villages and over villages. Hike, pony trek or travel by 4 wheel drive into remote areas of the mountains. Stand on top of the mountain, and pray over the villages in the valley. Intercede for the salvation of the Basotho as you engage the lostness of Africa from the ridge of a mountain. Seek how the Lord might involve your church in an increasing fashion.

Pastoral Training Teams-DOM’s, Associations, Church Staff: invest in the future spiritual leadership of Lesotho. "Equip the equippers" by teaching theology and Biblical Inter-pretation to those who have no other way to receive this training.

Practical Teams

 Teach True Love Waits in local schools and churches

 Medical Clinics

 Feed and minister to shepherds

 Teach women to knit, sew, crochet, quilt . . .

 Animal care clinics

 Build "key-hole" gardens for widows, orphanages, or AIDS victims, teaching a Bible study as the garden is built (you won’t need anything…t’s all right here!)

 Teachers: teach missionary kids for a week. You will equip them and enable their parents

 VBS in a village (please remember there will be no electricity or running water!)

The reality of Africa is spiritual darkness. As a result of this reality, spiritual warfare is inevitable. The focus of any team must be to dispel this darkness. Therefore, crucial elements of team preparation must include fervent prayer and preparation to incorpo-rate Bible studies/lessons/sharing the Gospel into each of these tracks as part of our strategy to lead people to Christ and plant healthy churches among the Basotho.
