You're Needed in the Nations

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.

Zambia

Zambia is home to our international flagship base and Overland’s longest-standing mission movement. With over 25 years of consistent ministry—working in villages, raising up disciples into leaders, and counseling Chiefs—we’ve gained incredible favor across the nation. This experience has deepened our understanding of the people, sharpened our ability to hear God’s voice on their behalf, and clarified the work required to make His name and purposes known. For generations, the people of Zambia have lived in rural villages under the leadership of Chiefs and Kings. Their hearts already grasp what it means to live under authority, yet the story of the greatest King in history has not been clearly told.

What Are The Most Frequently Asked Questions?

Do expeditions go to villages that Overland is already working in, or to new ones?

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.

How will I preach to someone who speaks in a different language than me?

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.

I know Jesus, but I am nervous to preach the Gospel..how do I know if I can do it?

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!

What will ministry every day look like 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.

What happens in a village after our expedition leaves?

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.

Are there any required vaccinations to go on Expeditions with Overland?

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.

Where are Expeditions taking place?

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!

What if I have never fundraised?

Not a problem! Our team will coach you, encourage you, and pray for you along the way!

Will I need to book my own airfare?

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!

What will we eat?

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!
