The UK is a nation that has increasingly rejected its roots as a Christian, missionary-sending country and has instead embraced materialism, secularism and religions of every kind. Do you have what it takes to find, develop and use your gifts in that kind of society - to make friends, serve people and tell others about the love of Jesus?
If so then there are opportunities for you at OM Lifehope. We want to train you to reach out to children, youth, and adults from all kinds of backgrounds, religions and ethnic groups, including Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Chinese and secular British people.
Our teams partner with local churches across the UK which are committed to reaching their communities with the gospel. During your time at OM Lifehope you will deepen your faith, live alongside Christians from all over the world and learn how to effectively share your faith with others.
