One of our strategic visions at SIM Namibia is to help raise up the youth generation to be equipped and impassioned to get involved in God's mission in Namibia and the world. To achieve this, we started Teen Mission Namibia, a one-week youth mission trip. In December 2021, we took 12 Namibian youth and staff to go serve in the informal settlements in the town of Okahandja. We held two days of 'Mission Boot Camp' to train them in topics like sharing the gospel, writing their testimony, etc. Then we spent the next four days serving in the community, leading kids Bible clubs, doing home visits, and sharing our faith. Then our last day was spent debriefing to help them take what they learned and apply it at home. Here's a short testimonial from one of our participants.
Planning for our next trip from July 1-9, 2023, is already underway! The total cost to send one teen on this trip is $300 (USD). We ask them to raise $60 to both make a personal investment and also learn how to raise support for missions. That means we are looking for sponsors to help subsidize $240 per teen. Would you like to help support this vision? You can give directly toward sending teens on this mission trip by clicking here, or using the QR Code below.

Namibia is a country of about 3 million people located along the Atlantic Ocean of south western Africa.

While 89% of the population claim Christianity, rampant vices like immorality, abuse, and alcoholism reveal that it is religion in title only. The true gospel which frees from the bondage to sin is the only solution. Read more...
