Our motto: "Short-term mission for a Long-term vision"

Serve Asia Teams

Serve Asia is our OMF short-term program. Teams visit Taiwan for several weeks. They help us make contacts in the local community through English teaching, drama, song, coffee shops and vacation camps.

When you join a Serve Asia team, you will:

· Meet new friends

· Learn about Taiwan

· Try out local delicacies (like pearl tea or squid-on-a-stick!)

· Find out what a missionary’s life is really like

· Discover that God can use you in ways you had never imagined!

There are two ways you can join a Serve Asia team:

1. Mobilise a team from your own church or Christian fellowship. We will then help put together a program for you and provide orientation and oversight while you are here.

2. Join one of our international teams. Each year we organise a number of teams which are open for individuals around the world. We will organise the program, train you and lead the team.

Most Serve Asia teams are run in July-August, or December (prior to Christmas).

For more information write to our Serve Asia coordinator, Katherine Tang, at tw.sac@omfmail.com or contact the OMF office in your home country.

Individual Serve Asia Workers

What if I can't join one of the Serve Asia teams? Can I still come short-term by myself?

In certain situations we can also accept individual short-term workers. Our priority is not to provide for those seeking a missionary "experience" or gap year activities, but to help give a foundation for those seriously considering options for ongoing involvement in cross-cultural missions.

If you have specific skill that one of our ministries needs, then we may also have a place for you. This might include: office skills, especially computer, media or finance skills; or training in social work or counseling that would allow you to assist our ministries to marginalized people.

Serve Asia individuals can visit for as little as a week or as long 6 months.

If you think you might fit any of these categories, then contact our Serve Asia coordinator, Katherine Tang, at tw.sac@omfmail.com .
