OMF’s application process is designed to facilitate getting you to Asia and assure you of a meaningful ministry role with ongoing accountability for your work. We wish to act in your best interests – however, we also need to balance these with the needs and desires of the Asian church as well as submit to the wisdom of OMF field leadership.

We strive to find you a place of service which is compatible with your interests, personality, background, and sense of calling. This is done by interacting with field leadership who are the ones who extend an invitation for you to come and join them in their ministry. We work on the principle that it is the field that extends an invitation for new people to come and work with them on their team, so together we will need to interact with them regarding your future placement.

Here is a general overview of the process:

• Fill out the Long Term Inquiry Form online
• Complete the First Steps Form (Word doc 75KB)
  
• Complete the Second Steps application which we will send to you. This form will vary depending on how long you are going for.
• Have three references completed and sent into our national office.

• Obtain cross-cultural orientation and training. For Serve Asia OMF will provide most of this training. For longer term service we will help you plan your training for missions.
