Jackson’s Ridge is a one of a kind organisation dedicated exclusively to changing
children’s lives. Jackson’s Ridge is a non profit organisation that was established
by the Assemblies of God World Missions, USA in partnership with the International
Assemblies of God of South Africa. JR (as the locals call it) is located just outside
Magaliesburg in the Northwest province of South Africa.

JR Changes Children's Lives through three exciting ministry programs:
|
-
First, Jackson’s Ridge is a Children’s Ministry Training Centre for adult leaders,
children’s workers, teachers and community workers who want to impact the lives
of all children in their communities.
-
Second, Jackson’s Ridge is a Children’s Camping facility specializing in camps for
all kinds of children from church groups, community organizations and disadvantaged
communities. Jackson’s Ridge also serves as the continental office for Royal Family
Kids Camps, a program designed especially for hurting children who have been physically,
emotionally and sexually abused and neglected.

"I write to you today in my personal capacity to express my appreciation for your
ministry. Firstly I want to express my appreciation to you for all the wonderful
and instructive courses I could attend over a period of longer than a decade at
the premises of Jackson’s Ridge. These courses were determinant in preparing and
shaping me as a Children’s Church teacher..... Thank you for all that you do for
the body of Christ. You shared with us that your heart was to come alongside the
local church to assist them to bring their children’s ministry to a new level. You
have truly strengthened our church through your ministry and have been a blessing
in every possible way. We want to encourage you to continue on with the excellent
work that you are doing."

"I just want to give you feedback. Last Sunday we met our kids after a week’s recession.
We asked kids to give us feedback about the camp and they just went crazy. They
sang all the songs we did with you, danced and even the kids who were not there
joined and we were just taken away. The camp has impacted our ministry so much,
it’s just unexplainable."
