Abundant Life
Abundant Life is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 by Pastor Heino Torlage. In the thirty years since then, many young people have enrolled in our annual training programs. Many committed themselves to one year of service for the Lord, which often proved to be the basis of lifelong service to the Lord.
Abundant Life also provides for the spiritual and physical enrichment of both young and old, providing Training, Outreach Programs, Camps, Conventions and Conferences throughout the year. Please click on the images on the home page to find out more.
The home of Abundant Life is a 40-acre farm in Dundee that has been transformed into campgrounds with hostels, conference rooms, and a large hall that can seat up to 500 people. There is a large canteen, guest rooms and training facilities for local and international programs.
In 2012, Abundant Life joined the international Adventist Frontier Mission (AFM) network. Since then South Africa has been added to the many locations where the AFM training programs are conducted.
