Local churches.
Lives changed.
Welcome from Mark and Amy Coffey. We serve alongside South African believers to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, make disciples, and strengthen local churches.
MEET THE COFFEYS
Mark and Amy Coffey
Your hosts at Project South Africa
Welcome! We’re Mark and Amy Coffey, missionaries serving in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and the family behind this website. Here we share our family’s ministry and introduce the fellow laborers we serve alongside.
Mark is your primary contact for Project South Africa, our family’s ministry, and mission-trip opportunities. We serve alongside missionaries and South African church leaders whose ministries have their own leadership and responsibilities.
Meet Emilee Coffey
Emilee is a single missionary raising support to return to South Africa and serve alongside us full time. This is also her ministry home on the web. Learn about her plans, pray with her, and contact her directly about visiting your church or partnering in her ministry.
OUR PURPOSE
Local churches at the heart of the work.
Project South Africa exists to reach people with the Gospel, disciple believers, and train South African leaders for lasting ministry. Through church planting, Bible training, camps, and care for young people, we want to see lives rooted in Christ.
Plant churches. Train leaders.
Sharing the Gospel and equipping faithful men to teach others are central to the ministry. We serve alongside local believers as churches grow and leaders prepare to serve.
Invest in the next generation.
Camp Rhino and our youth-home vision create opportunities for young people to hear the Bible, build relationships, and experience Christian care.
MISSION TRIPS
Experience the field.
Grow a heart for missions.
Experience as much of the mission field and ministry as possible during your time in South Africa. Meet missionaries and local believers, spend time in our churches, and see the work firsthand.
Our greatest desire is that you return home with a deeper heart for missions and a clearer understanding of how you can be involved in reaching the world with the Gospel. You will also have plenty of opportunities to serve alongside us, with hands-on ministry forming an important part of your experience.
