Sometimes called “medium termers,” OMF Associates serve in cross-cultural ministry for a period of 1-3 years. The Associates program is designed to give people a taste of what it’s like on the mission field. Like long-term missionaries, Associates learn the language and culture of the area they are serving. The Associates program is often a stepping stone to career service.
