Year opened: 2009

The Mission Society opened a field in South Africa in 2009. Mission Society missionaries develop educational, agricultural, and economic empowerment ministries in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

South Africa suffered from the economic crisis of 2008 like so many other nations. With more than 21% of the population unemployed, many people live below the poverty line. Mission Society ministries are aimed to help people develop sustaining businesses in order to help them provide for their families. They also seek to build relationships with South Africans, share the love of Christ, and disciple people in their walk with the Lord.
