“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…”
Who We Are
Developed in 2022, Go Missions is a christian based organization that encompasses a wide variety of needs in the South African community. We partner with Spear NPO based in South Africa and are passionate about building the relationship between the Kruger National Park and the neighboring communities in order to stop the poaching of rhinos, spread the good news of God, and to strengthen and help our local communities as a whole. We presently offer both long term and short term missions to a small community by the name of KaHoyi, near the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa.
Our mission is to share the good news of Jesus Christ by building relationships through partnering with South African communities.

We believe the best way to build community is by becoming part of the community.

Weekends may be accommodated outside of the village at other homestay locations based on your team's schedule.

Adult chaperones must be present through all projects, meal times, activities, and all free times both at and away from the mission house.
