About Me

Overland Missions is committed to empowering the third world indigenous church and bringing the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. Through expedition-style missions we lead teams into neglected or unreached areas of the earth. Utilizing the best equipment technology has to offer, the expertise of over 15 years of reconnaissance experience, and the revelation of the New Creation purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ, Overland mobilizes young adults into more than 30 nations.
We lead teams into sub-Saharan Africa, the Amazon river basin, the Patagonian region of South America, and southeast Asia. If you are interested in finding out more about us or joining an expedition, check out www.overlandmissions.com .To support Overland Missions
