As a LEAD staff member in South Africa, you will serve with an ethnically diverse team with open access to the university campus. South Africa has 11 official languages, though most people commonly speak English. 

Around 80% of South Africans would self-identify as Christian. However, most people describe Christianity as a blend of cultural and ethnic beliefs and not true Biblical faith. Since most South Africans see themselves as Christian, discussing religion is a normal part of life. This allows our team easy access to the university campus and makes it natural and acceptable to start spiritual conversations. Because of this, LEAD Staff are crucial in evangelizing, encouraging, and establishing young leaders to be salt and light in their communities and churches.
