KAYLEIGH GUSTAFSON
Serving in South Africa with Impact Africa
MY WORK
Hey, I’m Kayleigh! In the Spring of 2026, I will be launching as a missionary to Johannesburg, South Africa! I’ll be joining the incredible team at Impact Africa to bring the life-changing Gospel of Jesus to the heart of Johannesburg.
I have the privilege of helping build and shape the development of our special education classrooms—spaces where children with diverse learning challenges can finally receive the support, dignity, and individualized care they deserve. My role will include curriculum development, administrative support, and close collaboration with educators and caregivers to create a nurturing and empowering learning environment.
Across South Africa, children with disabilities often face heartbreaking barriers: rejection, misperception, lack of resources, limited medical care, and vulnerability to abuse. Because the work being done across the country is still limited and many lives remain untouched, the need to go is urgent. This is why I must go and the time is now! I am compelled to see hope, restoration, and transformation break into the disabled community through the power and love of God!
My heart has burned for the nations since I was just an elementary student, and now it is the greatest joy of my life to say yes to God’s call and bring the hope of Jesus to South Africa. I am honored to step into this mission, and I’m grateful for those who will partner with me to see lives healed, restored, and transformed by the hope of Jesus. Thank you for joining me in making an eternal impact!
