A nation united in faith, hope and healing.Healing The Nations · Acts 4:31
Your Week, Day by Day
Eight days, gently arranged around three nights of worship
Every package follows the same spine: arrive on the 21st, depart on the 28th, with the crusade at its heart and your free days shaped by the tier you choose.
Wednesday 21 October · Arrival
Touch down at OR Tambo, meet your transfer, and settle into your Pretoria hotel. Your welcome pack is waiting in your room.
Thursday 22 October · Rest and explore
A free day to find your feet. Faith Plus and above spend the morning on a guided tour of Pretoria: the Union Buildings gardens, Voortrekker Monument and the jacaranda streets.
Friday 23 October · Crusade day one
Gates open at 15:00. Your shuttle leaves the hotel in good time, the service runs 18:00 to 21:00, and the lawns of the Union Buildings fill with worship for the first of three nights.
Saturday 24 October · Crusade day two
A slower morning, then back to the lawns. VIP guests rest between arrival and service in the lounge with refreshments.
Sunday 25 October · Crusade final night
The closing service, and for Ministers Dinner guests, a plated dinner under the marquee from 22:00 as the event draws to its close.
Monday 26 October · Safari day
Covenant and Living Legacy guests spend the day at Dinokeng Game Reserve with lunch in the bush. Other tiers can add the day trip.
Tuesday 27 October · At leisure
A final day for the culinary experience, the Soweto and Apartheid Museum tour, or simply an unhurried Pretoria afternoon.
Wednesday 28 October · Departure
Your transfer returns you to OR Tambo. Seven nights, three services, and a story you will tell for years.
The Final Night · 25 October
The Ministers Dinner
When the last service ends, the lawns change. Within the hour, a clear-span marquee glows beneath the Union Buildings and 500 guests sit down to a plated three-course dinner with live worship carrying into the Pretoria night. It is the quiet, unhurried close to three extraordinary days, and seats are strictly limited.

Good to Know
Questions, answered
Do I need a ticket to attend the crusade?
No. Entry to Healing The Nations is free for everyone, all three days. Our packages add accommodation, flights, transport, reserved seating, VIP access and experiences around the event.
Do I need a visa for South Africa?
Many nationalities enter South Africa visa-free for up to 90 days; others require a visa in advance. Once you book, we send country-specific guidance and a letter of invitation where required. Start early if your country needs a visa appointment.
What is the weather like in Pretoria in October?
October is late spring: warm days around 25 to 28 degrees, mild evenings, and the city purple with jacarandas. An evening layer and sun protection for daytime are all you need.
What should I wear to the services?
Dress is smart and dignified. Evenings on the lawns can cool down after sunset, so bring a jacket or shawl. Comfortable shoes matter more than you think on event days.
How do payments work?
A 50% deposit confirms your booking and the balance is due by 21 September 2026. We accept card, EFT, PayPal and Wise, charged in the currency you book in with the exchange rate locked at booking.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refund 60 or more days before arrival, 50% refund between 30 and 59 days, and no refund under 30 days. We strongly recommend the travel insurance included with international packages.
Is Pretoria safe for visitors?
Your week is escorted end to end: airport transfers, daily event shuttles and vetted hotels, with an HLT representative on the ground for every 50 guests and a 24/7 emergency line for the full travel period.
Can our church travel as a group?
Yes. Groups of 20 or more qualify for group rates on day packages, and we arrange bus transport from neighbouring provinces. For travel packages, tell us your group size and we will quote a group rate.
