If you are keen to tell others about the love of Jesus then OM Lifehope has opportunities for you to develop and use your gifts in ministry. Come to the UK, a culturally diverse and fascinating country.
The UK presents one of the greatest challenges in Europe, as an increasingly secular and multicultural nation, a post-Christian country.
We need people to train to reach out to children, youth, students, adults, the elderly and various ethnic groups. We partner with missions-minded local churches who need help in spreading the gospel to their communities.
You could be engaged in community, street and creative evangelism. Reach out to Secular British, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese or Sikh people. Engage with people from all over the world and with many different beliefs.
You will take part in our “Toolkit” induction training, an adventure week, discipleship and leadership training and, if you come for at least a year, a sailing week.
Start Date: August 2009 Commitment Length: 6-12 months
