Our Vision

Justice. Community. Hope. Discipleship.

Our vision is to establish a training and outreach community in Cape Town that impacts Africa from Cape Town to Cairo. Our vision is for a multi-cultural community that exemplifies the kingdom of God and brings heaven a little closer to earth.

Our vision is for people of all colors and capabilities to live and learn together. We dream about business people sharing their knowledge and skills, and the poor sharing their amazing capacity for simplicity and community.

Our vision is that from a multi-cultural learning and serving community, Jesus followers would be sent north into Africa and East into India.

On the large scale, our dream is that Jesus would be loved, worshipped and obeyed in every village, every city, every university, every tribe, every business, and every nation in Africa. We believe Jesus deserves nothing less than the love of Africans in all fifty-four countries on the continent.

Our mission is simple and focused: we are called to make disciples, train leaders and plant church planting churches. There are 800 million people in Africa, most of whom suffer every day from poverty, war, injustice, and preventable diseases. 6,500 people die every single day from malaria and other causes. That is the equivalent of a worldwide disaster every month!

Our strategy is to train and send people who are equipped to start new churches where ever they find open hearts: in the schools and universities, in businesses and government offices, in art studios and coffee shops, in the farming fields and in people’s homes.

We believe in holistic church planting and leadership equipping. Because of the huge needs of Africa, we believe the gospel must be given with two hands: one hand giving practical hope in the form of farming, micro-enterprise, and medical care and with the other hand sharing the good news that Jesus is the son of God who died for the sins of the whole world.

Our core values are three-fold: passionate spirituality, authentic community, and courageous proclamation. Every full time worker is asked to participate in a six training and equipping program called CPx. The curriculum of this program focuses on these three core values because they are the engine that powers of vision.

There are hundreds of people groups in Africa that have not been reached with the good news of God’s love. Poverty, corruption, preventable diseases, and famine have turned whole countries in Africa to ruin. “Invisible” children are abducted and turned into slaves to fight for greedy warlords in Uganda and the Sudan, and child-heads of households are forced to care for their siblings in Malawi, Zambia and other nations in Southern Africa. We are stirred to face these challenges head-on with faith in God’s goodness and obedience to his commands.

We believe the church of Jesus Christ is the hope of Africa. Some would say that leaves out Jesus, that he alone is the hope of Africa. But we believe Jesus himself chose the church to be his answer to the Africa’s needs. Anything good that comes through the church is from Jesus. He is the source and goal of all that is good in the church.

We are focused on “simple church” but not to the exclusion of the rest of the body of Christ. We are excited about small, simple churches because God’s spirit is moving through them to touch Africa with a new expression of the kingdom. The tremendous explosion of church planting movements worldwide has caught our attention. There is no more significant factor in the growth of the church around the globe than the re-discovery of the power of small, simple, easily reproducible churches. God is breathing on this form of church, and therefore, we believe we should pay attention to what He is doing and work with Him.

The principles that make small, simple churches work well help individuals grow spiritually. They produce ownership, accountability, spontaneity, involvement, responsibility and growth in people’s lives. Simple church practices call African leaders to a new level of personal accountability and a new style of leading. This way of doing church is not glamorous or easy, but it is right. It functions well if those who do it spend time daily with Jesus, invest their lives by discipling a few people at a time, and share Jesus with those they live and work with.

This approach to mission is based on four assumptions about the kingdom of God.

• Holistic versus dualistic spirituality



• Apostolic versus hierarchical leadership



• Incarnational versus attractional mission



• Simple versus institutional church

We believe God has a big dream for Africa, but we also believe He builds his church one life, one family and one community at a time, on the foundations of holistic spirituality, apostolic leadership, incarnational mission, and simple church life. We dream big dreams for Africa, but we have learned that to do mission well, we must “build small.” The maturity and effectiveness of any movement that has lasting impact can be measured by how effective it is in fostering a culture of small discipleship groups that effectively function as church for the people.

With this in mind, we have given our lives to train church workers to go the unreached and poor of Africa, and from there, onward to India and Asia. We are trusting God for 1000 church planters to go north into Africa and East into India in the next ten years. We are trusting God for church planting movements that spawn more movements.
