Overland Missions is led by Phil Smithurst, who we affectionately call “The Indiana Jones of Missions.” Phil earned this title. He was in Special Forces in the South African Army during the Angola War, was a champion Land Rover racer, and is an all around adventurer, so who else would God call to this mission? The folks at Overland take the Great Commission - to the uttermost regions - quite seriously, and Phil teaches his recruits a fearless passion for taking the Gospel where others simply do not go. Each team is trained in survival, first aid, truck repair, and all the skills most missionaries would rarely need. Anthony Walton - Global Tribe Founder - gets regular emails from his daughter Rebecca who is serving in Zambia with Overland. Whether from their base at Victoria Falls in Zambia or in the Amazon, they are going, blazing trails and proclaiming Christ! The vast majority of Zambia’s 11 million people still live in abject poverty.
