Ways to go

We long to see many workers sent out to East Asia, men and women of faith, on fire for God and consumed with a passion for his glory and effective in his ser vice. Here are some ways you can go to East Asia with OMF.

Serve Asia (2 weeks to 11 months)

OMF’s short-term program, called Serve Asia, is a challenging program for anyone who is seeking God’s will for his or her future. Serve Asia workers have opportunities to develop friendships with local people, serve in churches, observe and learn some of the skills of church planting or teaching English as a foreign language, learn the country's language, assist missionary families, share Christ, and use their musical talents or other skills.

Associate (11 months to 3 years)

An associate serves in a cross-cultural ministry for eleven months to three years. Some opportunities include: professionals to teach, do research, etc.; ESL teachers; students to do graduate studies or language study; support ministries such as teaching in TCK schools, dorm super visors or guest home hosts. Opportunities to share Christ abound. Working with OMF as an associate is a great opportunity to explore longerterm missions and gain valuable ministry experience and skills.

Long Term (more than 3 years)

OMF members plant churches, train leaders, produce literature, teach theology, work among students, and bring the gospel to rich and poor, deprived and privileged. You can go as an evangelist or church planter, or use your secular professional skills in areas that are restricted to regular missionary work. You can teach missionaries’ children, run a mission guest home, work in administration or IT, or go as a secretary, dorm parent, doctor or medical adviser. If you have the right skills and abilities and a sense of God’s call, we can probably place you.
