Vision of The Branches
Camp Journey in South Africa was established in 2023 by the wonderful inspirations Joshua Sibara known as J.K, was blessed to experience in his childhood residing in the DMV area in America from the ages of 7-13.
During his summer breaks he attended VBS (Vocational Bible Study) first invited by schoolmate & then friend who attended Grace academy, the boy’s father Mr.Chad Wingert extended the love of Messiah would make appointments with JK’s dad for the boys to get together at Independent Bible Church which sparked Joshua's fire to enjoy scriptures. Former pastor Randy Buchanan & Pastor David Hadigian extended an invitation to the VBS at Tri-State Fellowship Church which was located 5 minutes from our house we lived at in Hagerstown. Our Heavenly Father continued to pour His word in JK’s heart at such a young age making him excited to share good news with the neighborhood friends.
FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) & Outdoor Camp directed by Mr.Scott Myers who met Josh at Tristate. Recruited him who was nice enough to work with us, is where he got to have more exposure & consecutive days at a sports & outdoor camp. Participating in the sports he loves, Cross Country, Track, & Soccer, which sparked his interest to venture out towards learning new sports that challenge him to learn about teamwork in the body of Messiah. Outdoor Camp is where he learned and loves to fish, do Archery, cannoning, shooting rifles and the importance of gun safety, learning survival skills such as build a fire & tie-knots.
As the years went by he was blessed with another opportunity to be an LIT (Leader in Training) at Campsonshine directed by Pastor David Black. Which was a long time hope since he was young seeing other children attending camp. JK appreciated knowing who He stands in Messiah and why. Seeing the importance of being a good example to people younger than him to follow The Words Of The Most High to live a set apart life in Messiah; as the noise of the world gets louder and attempts to distract us from our purposes of life. Joshua enjoyed helping kids that looked for guidance and he was able to emulate the love of The Messiah of Nazareth towards children of all walks of life.
As the times got scarier & uncertain The Holy Spirit was drawing JK and his family more in scripture to comprehend The Messiah’s words. John 14:15-31. They were blessed to attend a congregation ESC (El Shaddai Congregation) that gave them the opportunity to dig deeper in the scripture. Where Pastor Jason Trevett who is leading the youth and with other leaders made a sleepover camp for 5 days. J.K. was over the moon happy, was persistent to pray and trusted TMH that his mom as well sister will bring their guard down so he may experience sleep-away camp before leaving the states to start a new journey in South Africa. The Most High granted JKs prayers and was blessed to understand his identity and purpose in Messiah through His love & mercy. JK was able to bond with other children that are believers and choose to stand in their faith despite being teens. Joshua's parents saw how much he loved the experiences at all those different camps that were centered in scripture. His family saw the love of scripture and Our Heavenly Father and of kids from all over the world. They wanted to create a Avenue for Josh to bring people on a journey to become enlightened by Our Heavenly Father through camps in Messiah of Nazareth in the motherland of South Africa.

About
Myself (Katlego) & my family are blessed with this part of the Avenue of Yireh. To learn how The Most High wants us to care for our bodies & appreciate His creations. As I am on this journey of health and healing in regards to some concerns I had. I have come to realize that the way food is grown and raised impacts our health, what we put on our skin and what we are around affects us as well. Looking at “The Man (Woman) In The Mirror”, I had to be honest with myself that I am not doing the best tending to my temple (body). As I do my research and embarked upon a course taught by Chavon Ford, Global Birth Doula & Master of Science in Clinical Herbal Medicine, and CEO of Fords Herbal Wellness Center in Nashville, TN & Tanzania, Africa, who has received her Bachelors of Science in Pre-Med/Biology from Fisk University & Master’s of Science in Clinical Herbal Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Health. I immersed myself in all holistic health education! Spending this time on detoxing my body, improving my nutrition and gut health, and removing the toxins from our home as best as possible. Sharing the knowledge with others that want to live a joyful healthier lifestyle.My commitment as an herbal practitioner is to utilize evidence based medicine and traditional knowledge to facilitate healing and to bring the body back to the state of wellness.
