If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?” – David Livingstone

Your Expedition
What is an Expedition?
Overland’s reach into multiple different regions are all spearheaded by one movement - expeditions. These trips, led by Overland’s evangelistic arm, Expeditions, work to both connect the western church to the ministry happening overseas, and accelerate the work that our long term missionaries are doing.
Middle East
Partnered with the Holy Spirit, we are seeing centuries old strongholds being broken in these historical and rich nations. From the Bedouins in the desert, to locals and refugees in the ancient cities, you will deliver hope to those without. Your expedition will begin by landing in the city of your primary destination, and being picked up by your team leads. You will be oriented on the culture, the religion, and the approach of the minister to Muslim background believers. Each step that you take to share the truth of Jesus Christ to those here that live with a lie about who He is, will be a seed planted for a future harvest. For the individuals that do confess Jesus as Lord and Savior our team will train you on how to get them connected safely to our long term team after they receive salvations. The work in this region takes tenacity and conviction that the Word of God does not return void and bringing Him glory is worth every moment of our life no matter the fruit that we experience or encounter. Yet, as we move boldly with this conviction we are seeing many come to a right standing relationship with their Savior and brought into the family of heaven.

What Are The Most Frequently Asked Questions?
The majority of our expeditions are purposed to expand into new locations. Although, if the work that is needed to create sustainable long-term ministry requires returning to an area, we will go back.
We work alongside ministry partners and translators that are able to translate your first language into the first language of the people we are ministering to. Working with a translator will be something that you cover during your expedition orientation led by your expedition leaders.
Your expedition leaders will walk you through everything that it takes to preach the gospel to the lost. The Holy Spirit inside of you is enough for the task at hand, and we will help lead and guide you in ministering to your fullest capacity! Whether you have never shared the gospel before, or you’ve led hundreds of people to Christ, there is a place for you on an expedition!
Whether your expedition is in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, the Amazon, or anywhere else in the world, we will be preaching the Gospel. We’ll walk home-to-home or through city streets, telling people about Jesus and what He’s done for them. Some expeditions might have night meetings, soccer games, or kids ministry in order to gather the community together and preach the Word.
After your team leaves, our goal is to build sustainable ministry within the community that you reached through our full-time missionaries living in the area.
Each country has different entry requirements. Your expedition leader will walk you through the specifics of preparing to travel to the country of your expedition.
Overland has ministry in over 22 nations throughout Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and along the Amazon river. Expedition locations can change from year-to-year depending on the need. Check our website and other recruiting materials to see which locations we’ll be leading trips in this year!
Not a problem! Our team will coach you, encourage you, and pray for you along the way!
While some people choose to book their own airfare, it is not required or recommended. Our team will handle all logistics of your expedition, including booking your airfare alongside your teammates. All you need to do is raise the funds!
Your expedition leaders will cover all grocery shopping, restaurant planning, cooking, etc. while in the country. Depending on the country you are in, you may eat out at restaurants or eat food cooked over a fire. You might even have an opportunity to eat the local cuisine!
