About South Africa
South Africa is a beautiful and fascinating country! It is well known for it’s ethnic and cultural diversity (the “Rainbow Nation“), it’s mineral wealth (Gold and Diamonds in particular), it’s comparatively good economy (more than twice the total GDP of any other African country), it’s game reserves (the Kruger National Park in particular), it’s beaches, surfing conditions (Jeffrey’s Bay in particular), and beauty in general (Table Mountain, the Garden Route, etc).
Negatively, South Africa is known as the former home of the racial segregation system called Apartheid (truly democratic elections took place for the first time in 1994), the country with the highest HIV+ population in the world, and a country struggling with poverty, high unemployment, immigration issues, and rampant and violent crime. South Africa is a country with huge mercy ministry needs, and with a multitude of problems that only the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it’s resulting fruit, can truly address… We’re privileged to labor to that end!
