What kind of people can take part?
Creative people! The programme is aimed at 18s-35s who are interested in thinking creatively about how to reach people who don't know Jesus. Creative skills are welcome, but we're most interested in a team who will come up with new ideas together and put them into practice.

I already speak Dutch/French. Will I still be part of the language learning programme?
Yes! Our programme enables you to learn any language through ordinary social interactions. If you already speak Dutch and French, we have many other language opportunities in one of the world's most multilingual cities. Along with learning language we will also be discovering culture and developing emotional intelligence.

* The jobs listed on this website do not have a set salary. This means that the person who applies will need to raise their own support, which is money that they will use to live on. The amount of support money they need to raise will depend on things like where they are from, if they have a family, and what country they will be working in. There might be some jobs that pay salary, but these are rare and would need to be negotiated with the sending offices and the teams you'd like to serve with. If you have any questions about this, please contact your local home office. Always keep in mind that our ministry depends on generous giving from our partners around the globe and God's ongoing provision. Joining OM is always seen as a step of faith and trust in a God who will provide for our needs through his chosen people.
