TYRO Program

(Training You to Reach Others)

Come to Thailand by joining our “Serve Thailand” program for 1- 3 years. As a “Serve Thailand” worker, you will receive training and support that will help you to discover where God can use you in the future. After a few months of language study, you will work with a ministry team and have opportunity to work alongside long term missionaries. You will use some of the time to explore Thai culture and develop friendships with Thai people. The aim is to develop your ministry skills in a cross-cultural setting, preparing you for the next step in your service for God. You will also attend regular retreats for interns for spiritual input, encouragement and support.

Thailand is a country with very few Christians. Less than one percent of the 63 million people follow Jesus as their Lord. More than 90% are Buddhist. Christian organisations have shared the Good News about Jesus widely over the last few years. There is more awareness and openness to hear about Jesus than ever before. OMF is working all over Thailand telling the Good News and forming new groups of believers We need more people to come and join in our vision for telling Thai people about Jesus. Will you join us?

Ways that you can serve:

• Make Thai friends and introduce them to Jesus Christ
• Encourage and help Thai Christians to grow and share their faith.
• Organise sports activities and fun events as evangelistic opportunities.
• Lead introductory Bible studies with new believers
• Help with Thai children’s camps and youth outreach.
• Teach English to Thai students and young adults
• Produce media and audiovisual tools for OMF Thailand
• Conduct research on the effectiveness of current ministries and methods.
• Use your professional skill to reach Thai people for Jesus.
