Live No Ordinary Life!
OMF is dedicated to giving ordinary people the opportunity to do something extraordinary for God.
Konnichi-Wa Kiwi NOW AVAILABLE! Warren Payne's book (OMF NZ National Director) Konnichi-Wa Kiwi is NOW AVAILABE. 'An easy to read book suitable for all. Youth, youth group leaders, mission groups, churches, church leaders and all interested in actively exploring God's plan for thier lives.'
Konnichi wa Kiwi is the unique and fascinating autobiography of an ordinary New Zealander and his family who crossed a vast cultural divide to become Christian workers in Japan.
But this book is much more than that - through his story, the author challenges you to discover your own story - to find out what God wants you to do with your life.
Hidden behind the common question, "Please explain how God guided you to Japan?" is often the more important challenge of what God is saying to the one asking the question. This book will help, empower and encourage as you walk in God’s way.
Each chapter includes a reflection exercise for the reader that will guide in making this story your story.
A joint publication with OMF New Zealand and Castle Publishing.
