West Africa Christian Mission

West Africa Christian Cruise with a Mission

Purposeful Africa
10- to 67-days-- you choose!

Come let our Purposeful Africa ship based project give you a chance to serve softly in the mission field while seeing majestic, exotic Africa. Click here for our mission statement. The departure date for the first segment is October, 2010.

On this enlightening journey that utilizes a passenger ship with facilities for storage, we explore the very roots of Africa's history and legend. The visits to the river's deltas, jungles and winding river communities will provide you with insight that is virtually unknown to most. You will see first-hand the hard realities in the daily lives of people born to these areas; but you'll also share the importance of hope and your longing for others to see and feel God's grace and love in action. We'll work with their local and international ministries in discipleship outreach, educational and health programs, building projects, orphanages, plus we'll support the huge, evangelistic missions that have taken place in their communities.

Be ready for adventure and wonders! In addition to helping others we'll have an opportunity to see a new world of care plus amazing wildlife! We will see the rare pygmy hippopotami, hyena, elephant, camels and all sorts of baboons and monkeys during the safaris and excursions. We will be a part of the small fishing villages where you can work in tandem with local ministries to assist them with vital needs. Afterwards be ready for them to take you game-fishing. When you return to the ship our chef will even prepare your catch! The lifetime opportunities are endless.

Ten to seventy-five days, you choose! You may take any segment of the event, or take multiple segments. There are pricing benefits (and benefits to the heart!) to staying with us for a longer period of time. Note: that the itinerary may change due to local ministry needs.

Update: Guinea, Benin and Togo are currently being added. Watch for the new website over the next few months.

Our gracious ship will also provide respite to those pastors, missionaries and spouses who live near the ports that we will be visiting. Share in this time of blessing others as God’s servants are pampered and encouraged while they serve abroad. We will enjoy excellent Bible-based teachings and fellowship with other on-board believers.

Living Passages – we're taking the gospel seriously - shouting the Gospel with our lives - praying that we transform some part of the lives of those we serve. We believe that fighting poverty also fights slavery.
