Upcoming Trips

Stay tuned for exciting updates! We're planning several mission trips for 2025, each designed to make a meaningful impact in communities near and far. As details are confirmed, we'll share them here, so check back soon to see how you can be part of these transformative journeys.

Mozambique 2025

Pleasant Valley has the wonderful opportunity to yet again visit Mozambique, Africa Sept 24 - Oct 5! Our team will primarily be working with "Sybil's Kids" in the town of Chokwe. We will be putting on a special day where we will make crafts, play games and have a ton of fun together! There will be an opportunity to visit some of the Sybil's Kids families and we will get to hear how they're doing, encourage them and spend some time praying for them. The team will spend time at Sybil's school, and will support Sybil in anything else she would like us to be a part of during our week in Mozambique.

Chokwe, Mozambique

Sybil Baloyi

Over twenty years ago, Sybil Baloyi felt the Lord calling her from her job as a nurse in South Africa to go to war-torn Mozambique and work with kids. She has since started over 100s of kids clubs through the area of Chokwe, Mozambique, and is the founder and principle of a private Christian school called Hlauleka, which means "Holy Ones" (from Leviticus 19:2) that empowers students with education and cares for the orphaned and vulnerable youth in the area.
