Core offering

SOS Adventure is a non-profit evangelistic missions ministry that organizes large-scale Signs and Wonders Festivals in Africa, alongside short-term mission trips, a 10-month Harvest Internship, and humanitarian programs such as SOS Aid and SOS Kids. The organization recruits individual Christian volunteers and interns from the U.S. and Europe and deploys them to African field locations for worship, teaching, healing ministry, and outreach. Supporting programs include the Book of Acts Training Camp, Forerunner and Frontier Missions initiatives, and a Missions Volunteer Program (MVP).

Product overview

SOS Adventure is a non-profit evangelistic missions ministry that operates a portfolio of interconnected programs focused on reaching Africa with the Gospel. The core offering consists of three types of large-scale Jesus festivals: Flagship Festivals (major events in cities of 300,000+), Forerunner Festivals (smaller city events), and Frontier Missions (simple trips from the Kenya base). Supporting programs include 10-day Mission Trips for short-term volunteers, the 10-month Harvest Internship for deep discipleship and training, and SOS Aid/SOS Kids pre-festival outreach. Book of Acts Training Camp equips the next generation of evangelists. All programs work together to mobilize cities, reach the lost, and establish lasting disciple-making communities.
