Destiny Leadership Academy

The Destiny Leadership Academy has a strong pedigree and a remarkable record of leadership development. More than 500 students have passed through our training programme over the past 25 years. Today, hundreds of our past students hold positions of leadership in many sectors of society; some are captains of industry or have founded their own businesses, others have followed teaching and academic careers, while others still, have gone on to plant churches, serve communities in a greater capacity and live fruitful lives in South Africa and abroad. The Destiny Leadership Academy attracts a vast variety of students, coming from across South Africa as well as from Europe, Canada and North America. This Academy is designed as an intensive, one-year programme that will challenge the students emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and physically. They will be required to help the needy, go on mission trips, attend courses and lectures and develop their skill set. We believe that everyone has leadership potential. We are all required to lead ourselves, our families and other people as we follow Christ’s leadership. Destiny Academy nurtures and grows this potential in its students and aims to raise up competent and passionate leaders. We invite you to join us on a year that will transform the way you approach life. It will give you many essential tools and allow you to develop the competencies you need to achieve your dreams. – Grant Crawford One Life Church Pastor

We love having students from abroad and we are committed to helping make your process of coming to South Africa as stressfree as possible. Students from overseas will need to apply for a Volunteers Visa or a Student Visa, depending on which is more acceptable in your country. 

• You will need to visit your local home affairs or local embassy
• A letter of invitation from us will be needed, which we will be happy to send once you have completed the online application. This letter will explain that you will receive no remuneration or income (which is why you will be a volunteer). This letter will also outline how your services will benefit our church (thank you so much!) as well as stating where you will be staying. In addition, we will explain the training modules you will be enrolled in. Your visa may take up to 8 weeks to process.

In order to apply for Destiny Leadership Academy you have to be between the ages of 17-30
