Malawi
Home to more than 22 million people, over 180 species of wildlife, and the continent’s fourth largest fresh-water lake, Malawi is known as the “Warm Heart of Africa.” This is primarily due to the reputation of kindness and generosity attributed to Mawalian people. Stepping off the plane into Malawi, you are sure to see that this reputation rings true as you are welcomed in with open arms.
Mainly focusing on sports ministry, you’ll be able to serve in a lot of fun and physically active ways in Blantyre, Malawi’s commercial center. You’ll be surprised by how something like sports can present natural ways to have gospel-centered conversations with the people you meet.
Outreach
In Malawi, your team will be partnering with Sports Friends, an international organization dedicated to discipling and ministering to children through sports camps. Your team will be involved with two of their week-long camps.
Depending on your giftedness, you may be primarily serving as a coach for a children’s sports team, participating in evening teachings and testimonies, or helping with much-needed behind-the-scenes tasks to help the camp run smoothly!
No matter what, our ministry there is to serve in whatever capacity our partners need most, whether it fits well within our skill sets or not! What’s most important is that you are ready to serve radically, just as Jesus did.

Adventure
Personal development
Outside of ministry, Malawi has a lot to offer for those wanting to experience its natural beauty.
Lake Malawi is widely regarded as a unique gem of Africa’s nature. Filled with gorgeous clear water, surrounded by lush vegetation, and boasting views of some of Malawi’s tallest peaks, this lake is a truly awe-inspiring experience.
Mount Mulanje resides in the southern region of the nation, and is also a popular draw for visitors hoping to partake in all the landscape has to offer.

Team Dynamics
Growth
Our hope for your spiritual development this summer is that you would become more dependent on the Word of God than you ever thought possible. God’s holy scriptures are living, and layered with revelation after revelation of Jesus’ love for you.
Just as Eleazar in chapter 23 of the book of 1 Samuel, when his hand grew so tired that his fingers clung to his sword, you will cling to the Sword of the Spirit in your weariness.
So whether you come hungry for the Word or not, our deepest desire is for you to leave well-fed by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. (Matthew 4:4)

the royal servants experience
Every Royal Servants Trip is different, but some things that never change.
From Training Camp to debriefing, every aspect of our ministry is focused on discipling our students. Through small group discussions, large group teachings, and an extensive debriefing process, we want to ensure your student is not only emotionally prepared for a summer overseas but also that they are prepared to apply what they learn in the summer to their life at home.
It is important for our teams to start with a solid foundation before they embark overseas. At Training Camp, you will begin building relationships with your team, learn how to share the Gospel, and prepare for what life will look like overseas. You will leave Training Camp ready to face any challenge that may come your way.
Over the course of the summer, you will experience how transforming life in Christian community can be. Through daily quiet times and small group discussions, you will deepen your relationship with God. Through outreach, you will gain new understanding of God's heart for the world and the Church. Through being in community, you will learn how to love those around you.
After weeks packed full of ministry outreaches, you will transition into a week of debriefing. Going home after an intense summer ministry experience can be challenging emotionally and spiritually. Debriefing is a time of reflection about what you have experienced, seeking wisdom from God, and preparing for the challenges you might face going home.
Throughout the summer, you will hear teachings on foundational Christian truths. Our biblical worldview is best described as historic Christianity, and we teach from a traditional perspective on morality and values that the church has held for over 2000 years. Refer to our Statement of Faith and make sure we are the right fit. On everything else, we encourage students to seek answers from their parents and local church community.
Royal Servants takes the safety and health of each participant seriously. We go to great lengths to ensure participants remain healthy and safe throughout the trip.
Therefore, no participant is allowed to be alone in any city; Royal Servants always travel in groups of three or more, and when possible, with either a male or Summer Staff in each group. The Trip Leaders also continually monitor conditions within the host country before and during the trip. The team will be moved to a stable location if a situation threatens the team's security, whether from political or environmental conditions.
Royal Servants mission trips are led by Reign Ministries’ staff, not part-time volunteers. Our staff care deeply about students and see leadership as a privilege. Each staff member is intensively trained on how to connect with and lead students. They are fully engaged in every aspect of the mission trip, whether being involved in ministry, leading Bible studies, or just hanging out building relationships. They are intentional to ensure that each student is discipled beginning at Training Camp and through debriefing prior to returning home.
