Rising Ground Journey is a transformational gap year designed to shape wholehearted, resilient young men. Set on 5,500 hectares of breathtaking Eastern Cape farmland, students step into a year of discipleship, leadership development, hard skills, and deep community. It’s a place where character is forged, purpose is discovered, and young men learn to steward their lives with honour, courage, and faith. Through adventure, practical farming, spiritual formation, and mentorship, Journey creates space for growth that’s real, raw, and life-changing. It’s not just a year off — it’s a year that sets a man’s life on course. “The most important thing about a man is not what he does, but who he becomes”, Dallas Willard.
