It All Began With a

Dream to Do More

Beyond Survival launched in August 2006 with its first global initiative: partnering with Children’s Hope Chest (CHC) and Adventures in Missions (AIM) to support the Bhalekane Community Care Point in Eswatini, Africa. This care point was founded by an incredible man named Walter, who, after counting more than 500 orphans in his community, set out to provide for them through eight care points — initially serving meals just three times a week.

Today, thanks to committed sponsors, children receive two meals a day, five days a week. A preschool, community center, kitchen, teacher housing, well, and toilets have also been built. Each year, Beyond Survival teams travel to Eswatini to serve through teacher training, medical check-ups, VBS, construction projects, leadership appreciation, and a pastor’s conference.

All of this began because one man chose to do something. Imagine what could happen if more of us aspired to leave a legacy that reached beyond possessions and ambition and truly changed lives around the world.

TAKE A TRIP

Our hearts and lives are transformed by experiencing and seeing life instead of just reading about it. We would love for you to consider going to Eswatini with us. Here are some thoughts on how you can begin this journey:

Begin with Your Heart.
Educate yourself on the realities of Eswatini. Allow the facts in Eswatini to not only soften your heart, but move you to action.
Go with Others.
The challenges are way too big for one person, let alone one organization. Be a part of this new community to change lives in Eswatini. Collaboration with other organizations is key for life transformation.
Invest in Lives.
We say “invest” rather than “give” because investing denotes an expectation of return on the investment. We want to create environments where life change can truly take place.
Spread the Word.
If you are willing to be a part of helping others, share with those you are in relationship with about your investment. It will take many compassionate people willing to invest in order to make a difference.
Go On a Trip.
There is nothing like the ministry of presence to demonstrate to others that they are not alone. We would love for you to consider going with us on a trip.
