Hope Journey:

Cape Town, South Africa

October 12–18, 2026

Application Deadline: June 1, 2026

Travel to Your Sacred Space
Creating space to encounter God—here, there, and beyond

Cape Town is a city of color, culture, beauty, and diversity. It is a place where histories, communities, and landscapes collide. This Hope Journey invites participants to step into this rich and complex context with an awareness of where God is at work.

We go on this journey to encounter God through place, people, and shared mission—allowing our perspectives to shift as pace slows and presence deepens. Rather than arriving with predetermined outcomes, we are open and expectant, trusting that meaning emerges through lived experience.

We value presence over productivity.
