We are MAYA & OSCAR, a cross-cultural couple from Japan and Peru, currently serving as missionaries in South Africa. 

We come from totally opposite cultures. That’s right! From a structure-oriented culture to a more spontaneous pace of life. From “being 5 minutes before time” is on time to “being a little late” is normally expected. From not expressing love through physical contact to openly expressing love through hugs and kisses. Like the language of love surpasses all understanding and differences, we are two lovers of Jesus Christ, pursuing his ways to bring His glory on earth.

Alrighty! so, here’s an interesting fact. Did you know that 1 in 4 Christians today are Africans? and within the next 50 years it will be 1 in 3? This will make Africa the center for worldwide Christianity!... which poses the urgent need for discipleship and training of young African Christian leaders and the churches.

Knowing that …God gave us a vision: to partner with the local church in South Africa to see more South Africans finding and pursuing their personal call within the Great Commission…reflecting God’s Mission in everyday life…from South Africa to the whole Africa and till the ends of the world.

To do so, we are PARTNERING with PERSPECTIVES, a global ministry aimed at equipping local churches to be equally engaged and mission-aware to support local missions movements. We also partner with other ministries on a more relational basis.

All in all, WE ARE PASSIONATE about DISCIPLESHIP of the next generations, MEMBER CARE for other kingdom workers, TEACHING about God’s Mission and MISSIONS MOBILIZATION; and STORYTELLING CONTENT to share God’s amazing work through people’s stories😉 

From wherever you are, you can be the extension of what God’s doing in South Africa through your dearly prayers and financial support, be it once-off or a monthly contribution.

With Love, Maya & Oscar
