Journey Overview
This option is customisable; including the dates and ministry! It is a flexible option designed for people who want to get a taste of mission in a more individualised way. Maybe you have a special interest area you want to explore or you simply want to serve God in a missions environment for a short time. Then CMO could be for you! We are ready to work with you to provide a tailor-made opportunity that meets your needs. Whether you want to expand your faith, see God work and discover missions, work with a local church in a diverse ethnic community or help with practical work, CMO will give you an opportunity to serve and to grow. As we go out we will meet people from different religious and non-religious backgrounds, providing opportunities to learn how to share the Gospel with people from across the world.
London is the largest city in Europe and one of the most multicultural cities in the world. There are people from almost every language and every tongue gathered in one place, which makes the city a great place for evangelism. Our focus is specifically on reaching out to Muslims and you will have the opportunity to be trained by people with this experience.
