If you are a Christian (17 – 25-year-old) young man or woman, can you (and your parents) think of any better way to spend a year of your life than enlisting in a rigorous Bible-saturated, Christ-centred bootcamp where you will be: 

• Equipped with sound doctrine, apologetics and ethics to prepare you for secular university and to stand firm for Christ in the marketplace of ideas (Col. 2:6-8). 

• Armed with a Christian mind to defend the gospel against the intellectual onslaught of an anti-Christian society, to refute competing worldviews, embracing the lordship of Christ over all of life (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 1:19-23; 2 Cor. 10:3-5). 

• Required to form strong habits of Bible reading and private worship, family worship, and corporate worship, catechism, along with Scripture memorization, and improving your prayer life (Josh. 1:8-9; Psalm 1, 19, and 119; Acts 2:42). 

• Be pushed to new limits in your physical fitness and care of your bodily temple 

• Be free to take a digital fast from gaming and social media. 

• Embarking on field trips and hikes to explore the history and beauty of South Africa! 

• Learning in community with some of the best and brightest young Christians in South Africa. 

Boarding students will be: 

• Participating in the life of Antioch Bible Church where you will be immersed in every aspect of congregational life (Acts 2:41-47).   

• Nurtured by host families who will mentor you, “imparting not only the gospel of God but their own lives” (1 Thess. 2:8).  

If these goals grip your heart, capture your mind, and set your soul ablaze, then we want you!  Apply today, space is limited!  What better way to sharpen the focus & set the trajectory of the rest of your life and eternity?! 

“I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall  and stand in the gap before Me for the land,  so that I would not destroy it.” (Ezek. 22:30) 

You are not taking a year OFF; you are taking a year ON – striving to make your life count for Christ.
