Serving
with Heart for Africa in
2018
Heart for
Africa
has service trips planned for eSwatini throughout 2018.
Please check all of the dates for
the
service opportunity that meets your needs.
Who
participates in a Heart for Africa service trip? Our trips
include individuals and groups of friends looking for that perfect
opportunity to give back to those in need. It is not uncommon
to find an entire family serving alongside one another on a service
trip. And of course, Heart for Africa is happy to have groups
from churches across North America serving with us in
Swaziland.
Special Note
for Church
Leaders
Every church
leader wants to
provide an
opportunity for international missions to their congregation.
But sometimes that can be a very time-consuming and somewhat frightening
task. Sunday is coming and there never seems to be enough
time to get all of the work done. Heart for Africa would love
to help you plan for your 2018 international missions. We have
a team of highly qualified professionals in international missions
waiting to join with you to make your dream of service in Africa a
reality. Send us an email at
trips@heartforafrica.org.
Sample Summer 2018 Trip
Description (*itineraries subject to
change)
Day One -
Saturday: Depart
from North America.
Day Two –
Sunday: Arrive in
Johannesburg and overnight at the City Lodge Airport
Hotel.
Day Three –
Monday: Drive
to eSwatini, check in, group orientation, and meet your team and team
leader.
Day Four/Five/Six –
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday: All teams serve on Project Canaan throughout these three days. The type of work will depend on the specific needs of the farm at the time of travel. To help you understand Heart for Africa and Project Canaan more fully, we will start with a tour that will include agriculture projects, irrigation, goat and chicken farming, as well as the dairy, ISO Building, Children's Campus, Kufundza Vocational Training Center and the El Rofi Medical Center. In addition, each team will be assigned a Project Canaan family in need. The team will take food and clothing to the family, pray, listen and encourage them. This is a great opportunity to see Swazi culture up close, while developing a relationship with an individual family who is in need and who we want to provide extra support to.
Day Seven – Friday:
Individual volunteers will have the opportunity to spend the day on a
game
drive (safari) or local wildlife preserve and a market shopping
expedition.
Day Eight –
Saturday: Teams will spend this day serving on Project Canaan.
Day Nine –
Sunday: Teams will spend this day serving on Project Canaan and attend Children's Church. Teams will arrive back at the hotel for their farewell dinner together.
Day Ten –

Individuals will check out of the hotel, stop at the Glass Factory (if time permits) and
take
the five hour bus ride back to Johannesburg for the flight back
to the
US and Canada.
Day Eleven –
Tuesday:
Everyone arrives back home and begins to think and pray about how they
can help
the people they got to know and love in
eSwatini.
