Q & A

If you are interested in being a part of Basecamp Africa Campus Ministry, please take time to read through the following questions and answers. We hope they will bring clarity and stir excitement about how God can use YOU as a campus missionary in Africa! 

  • Assemblies of God World Missions

    https://www.agwm.org

  • All friends who have ALSO gone through the approval process are welcome. Pets must be discussed and approved by your ACM leaders beforehand.

  • Placement after training will be decided through individual prayer and discussion with your ACM leaders. Your ACM leaders, along with AGWM leadership, will have final approval. This is done with the intention of helping you to choose the most healthy and fruitful placement.

  • We believe campus ministry is the most strategic way to reach Africa. University students, especially those in African nations, will be their countries' next decision makers. These future doctors, lawyers, teachers, and politicians WILL change their nation. Through discipleship we believe these students can influence their home countries with the gospel, transforming them in a way that reflects the kingdom of God.

  • In order to pioneer or participate in campus ministry anywhere in Africa, completing a one year training is required by AGWM.

  • If you have a heart specifically for campus ministry in Africa, then Africa Campus Ministry is for you. Come with the desire to see Africa transformed through the discipleship of university students, and we believe God will make your next steps clear.

  • The Africa Campus Ministry training is only a requirement for those who desire to do campus ministry in Africa specifically. If you are passionate about another type of ministry (i.e. childrens ministry, building tabernacles, etc.) then Africa Campus Ministry is not for you.

  • During the Africa Campus Ministry training you will be living in the capital city of Maputo, Mozambique. Physical living arrangements will be made once you are on the ground in Mozambique.

  • The Africa Campus Ministry training will be a one year of training in which you will spend time learning and growing heavily both through experience, and topical learning through books/resources. The primary focus will be on:

    -Language learning

    -Making Disciples among college students

    - Spiritual development and theology

    - African culture and worldview

    -Practical and contextualized ministry skills to help you in future ministry

  • Language learning will be a vital part of your Launch Team training. While language learning before landing in your host country (Mozambique) will not be required, it will be required once you are in the country.

  • Portuguese is the primary language spoken in Mozambique.

  • Launch Team Leaders:

    Matt and Andrea Marlin

    and Team Members:

    Zach and Olivia Rice

    Our staff team consists of Mozambicans as well as Americans. Each year we also have a group of Mozambican interns who have given a year to learn how to be campus missionaries; this functions very similarly to the Chi Alpha CMIT program.
