Introduction:

Few who visit Namibia leave unchanged by the experience.   For some, perhaps, it is the warmth of the people, the haunting beauty of the landscape or the abundance of wildlife that will forever linger in their memories.   These qualities have certainly contributed to Namibia’s popularity as a tourist destination.   But for those of us who have followed God’s call to the land of Namibia, there is something more that draws us here.  

As we look at the needs and challenges facing this young nation, we have an incredible sense that God has a plan – a plan to give Namibians a hope and a future.   In a land that faces the grim realities of HIV/AIDS and other crises, we can be a witness to the hope that can only be found in Christ.   In a land emerging from a difficult past and striving to find its identity in the present, we can help Namibians discover the security of a future based on the timeless promises of God’s Word.     

As you read on, you will learn more about a country that calls itself the “Land of Contrasts” - a land rich in its diversity of landscapes, wildlife and peoples.   It is a land we believe is ripe for spiritual harvest.
