Blessman International, its donors and volunteers provide South African children and young adults with God’s love and eternal hope through faith formation and programs to feed hungry people, foster food-secure communities, offer dignity through provision of basic water and sanitation needs, and provide opportunities for child development and learning. Within the next ten years, every child in Limpopo, South Africa, will know eternal hope through Jesus Christ, have access to basic human services, and receive the nurturing support necessary to reach their individual potential.. Blessman International hosts approximately eleven mission teams to South Africa each year. Team members engage in shoe ministry, optical outreaches, construction projects, feeding programs, distribute feminine hygiene kits, farming, and working with orphaned children. Blessman International plays a role in feeding 60,000 children every week through food distribution, farm products, gardens, and wild game meat.
