Full Member of OMF Thailand
Let's face it. Long-term or “career” missions is a frightening thought. It involves a commitment that is hard to contemplate. So why is “career” missions at the heart of OMF's strategy for Thailand?
If you want to deeply impact people, you need to get to know them.
If you want to change a nation, you need to become one with its people.
Although we promote short-term missions, we believe that, by far, the greatest impact comes when we are willing to stick around for the long haul. It comes from those people who learn the language and culture, build deep relationships and demonstrate by their love that Thailand and it's people matter—not only to them, but also to God.
Long-term is especially important because of the need to gain trust and establish relationships before the gospel can be “heard.” Building relationships takes time!
This is why long-term mission is at the heart of our ministry strategy. (Long-term can be anything from four to 40 years.)
And the reality is clear: If we want to reach a significant number of Thailand's people with the gospel, we need more missionaries who will stay here for the long term—many more!
Opportunites
Browse through the rest of this website learn about some of the ministries our long-term missionaries do, including: work with children and families, personal evangelism, church planting, discipleship, work with the urban poor, and much more.
We have urgent needs for people to join some of our new ministry teams here in Thailand. There are tremendous opportunities and many open hearts, but there are simply not enough people to bring in the harvest.
Too hard?
Mission with OMF is not just about doing a job. It is also about joining our OMF family. When new workers arrive, we place a premium on looking after them, giving them the best training in the Thai language, and helping them establish a solid foundation for a lifetime of fruitful ministry. In fact, OMF International is renowned for its excellent orientation, member care and ongoing training.
Taking that step of long-term commitment is hard. But if this is where God is leading you, you certainly won't regret it.
Anyone who is considering a career in missions will have a lot of questions. It is important to choose the right fit in terms of mission agency, country and ministry. We will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.
