Overland Missions – any road… any load… any time
- We take the biblical mandate in James 1:27 seriously and target the needs of orphans and widows as our primary focus
- We see the village community as a far greater alternative for orphans than living on the city streets or in an orphanage
- We work with remote, neglected villages where there is little or no outside help
- Our objective is to help villages become self sufficient and we see ourselves as investors in the future development of healthy African villages
- LIFE works along side of the Rural Pastors Network (RPN) in an effort to establish continued spiritual support
Our goals are long term and generational.
