THRIVE Africa 2026: Strengthening missionaries serving across Africa.
Project Summary
Every day across Africa, missionaries and local ministry leaders pour themselves out in places marked by spiritual opposition, instability, and chronic stress. Many serve tirelessly—but often silently—under the weight of exhaustion, isolation, and unrelenting pressure.
THRIVE Africa 2026 will bring these front-line workers (singles, couples, as well as families with children), African church leaders, HQ staff and leadership, and trained caregivers a focused gathering centered on soul care, strategic alignment, and sustainable ministry.
The Need
Missionaries often operate on the edge of burnout. Families face trauma, discouragement, and isolation that quietly chips away at their capacity to serve. Without community, care, and rest, many end up just surviving, rather than thriving in life and ministry.
What the Gathering Provides
• Soul Care & Renewal: Counseling, prayer, worship, rest, and fun.
• Strengthened Partnerships: Deepened connections and collaboration with other missionaries, as well as national workers.
• Learning & Alignment: Workshops on strategy, vision, team development
• Family & Ministry Sustainability: Workshops on resilience, relationships, and burnout prevention.
• Ministry to Children: Children will be ministered to as they learn together and make memories with other TCKs (Third Culture Kids).
Expected Impact
• Renewed spiritual, emotional, and relational strength.
• Tools for long-term effectiveness, resiliency, and personal & family health.
• Deeper vision for partnership with the African church.
• Clarity, courage, and renewed calling.
