about
missionaries with overland missions
We serve as missionaries with Overland Missions, an organization dedicated to taking the Gospel to remote and often overlooked places. The team’s vision is centered on sharing the message of the new creation in Christ—bringing transformation by making disciples and raising up local leaders. This vision comes to life through a five-part, ongoing strategy designed to reach and empower people in even the most isolated regions.
the steps
Step 1: Reconnaissance (Recon)
Explore remote and isolated regions to locate villages with little to no exposure to the Gospel.
Step 2: Evangelistic Expeditions
Engage unreached communities with the Gospel, laying the foundation for long-term ministry efforts.
Step 3: Sector Development
Disciple new believers, raise up local leaders, and assess community needs to provide strategic humanitarian support.
Step 4: Indigenous Leadership Development
Equip and mentor local believers to become spiritual leaders who can evangelize neighboring villages, supported by ongoing expeditions.
Step 5: Long-Term Sustainability
Empower trained indigenous leaders to guide their communities toward lasting spiritual growth and practical self-sufficiency.
focusing on the most remote parts of Angola
Our passion is to bring the message of Christ to the farthest, most forgotten corners of the world—reaching people who have never heard His name and equipping them to walk confidently in their God-given identity.
We are currently focused on the most remote regions of Angola, engaging with unreached tribal communities who have yet to hear the name of Jesus for the very first time.
let's go
We are all called to share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. But the call doesn’t stop there—we’re also called to equip others in understanding their identity as new creations in Christ and to help them discover and walk in their unique God-given purpose. That’s what true discipleship is all about.
Join us on this journey to reach the unreached and empower people to live out their identity in Christ.
By partnering with us financially, you unite your faith with ours to bring the Gospel to Angola’s unreached and often forgotten traditional people groups—through pioneering outreach and intentional discipleship.
