Ever wonder if there’s more to your faith than what you’re experiencing? I can relate.

Jeremy Cearbaugh

I understand how it feels to hear that whisper inside you that there’s got to be more to your faith than what you’re experiencing. That’s why I risked it all, quit my job, sold everything I owned and took off overseas to serve God and His people. I got a taste of the ‘more’ God had for me. 10+ years and 30+ countries later, my team and I now help other young people experience adventurous and purpose-filled moments with God like I had ...one semester at a time.

The Semesters Route 1 journey empowers you to:

1. Grow with God

1. Grow with God

Witness God moving through the ministries and people you serve. Rely on His strength to fuel your days and His voice to lead the way.

2. Find Community

2. Find Community

Discover how to be the church, and love each other while living and serving together in South Africa, Eswatini, and Lesotho.

3. Make a Difference

3. Make a Difference

Watch God move in tangible ways. You may find yourself building relationships and helping with community projects, caring for children impacted by HIV/AIDS, or serving food and playing with kids.

LESOTHO SWAZILAND SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa

LOCATION: Coming soon!

MINISTRY: Local ministry partners

FOCUS: Evangelism, Community service projects, Kids ministry

South Africa

South Africa will be a great bridge for you between American culture and the cultures found in Africa. You'll be serving with one of our key partners (specific TBD and updated soon!) who will help you become familiar with what it's like to do ministry overseas and nudge you out of your comfort zone. This first month will build a foundation for the next two months as you contribute to the long term vision of our partners ministries.

Eswatini

LOCATION: Manzini, Eswatini

MINISTRY: Adventures in Missions Base

FOCUS: Children’s ministry, Orphan care, Community development

Eswatini

In Eswatini you will get to put the skills you learned in South Africa to practice, while still receiving guidance from the staff at the Adventures base. You will do a lot of children's ministry and home visits, and experience firsthand how you can help contribute to the development of the next generation of Swazi leaders.

Meet Bongani and Morgan Nxumalo serving in Eswatini

Morgan moved to Swaziland a little over five years ago on June 1, 2014. She is originally from Alabama. Bongani started working with Adventures in Missions in March of 2014. He is a Swazi national. Bongani and Morgan got married in March of 2017 and had their first child, Jonathan on October 24, 2018.

Bongani and Morgan became the Team and Trip Managers in January of 2018. They handle all logistics for all teams that come into the country including World Race squads, Semester Teams, etc. They want to make sure that everyone that comes through Swaziland has their best trip and experience yet!

Lesotho

LOCATION: Malealea Valley, Lesotho

MINISTRY: Africa 4 Jesus

FOCUS: Evangelism, Discipleship, Church ministry, Children’s ministry

Lesotho

Lesotho is a beautiful country, but what will be the highlight of your month is the quality relationships you will build. Africa 4 Jesus will identify several locations where you can minister and serve their ministry, but it is up to you on what you will accomplish. It will be challenging, but fruitful. We hope you take what you learn and feel confident to connect and build friendships in your own community too!

Meet the amazing people from Africa 4 Jesus!

Africa 4 Jesus is a discipleship ministry that operates sustainable discipleship schools within South Africa, Africa and the rest of the world. They serve broken and hurting individuals and help restore dignity to their lives, through Christian discipleship and biblical teaching. This beautiful ministry has a big heart and simply wants to do life together!
