Aperçu du voyage

1-2 weeks pre-field training:
Culture and You online training and etc.

12 weeks in-country training:

  • Unit 1: Trainees study the local dialect and receive
  • basic training for service among the least reached in
    MENA, coached by experienced residing trainers.
  • Unit 2: Trainees go deeper into developing their
  • language and cultural understanding as they build
    friendships. This time includes travels around the
    country.
  • Unit 3: Trainees receive mentoring while engaging
  • deeper in the area of their interest, whether it be
    discipling seekers, art performance, travels, more
    focused language learning or preparing for long-term
    ministry in MENA.

    3 weeks practical ministry:
    Participants will be helped to find a place to do at least 3 weeks of practical ministry within MENA or the diaspora.
    This should be completed by summer 2025.

    Those joining the artist track do their practical experiment with our Arts ministry. This 12+4-week short-term exposure programme helps Jesus-followers become disciples who make disciples within a MENA context.

    The practical and interactive programme is meant to be a steppingstone into further ministry among the least-reached peoples from the MENA region, whether in our own field (Central North Africa), other fields in MENA or among immigrants from MENA in the Diaspora.

    Because of the limited number of places, applicants will be chosen by the team of trainers. As we will be performing interviews and approving applications as we receive them, we encourage you to let us know of your interest as soon as possible. OM reserves the right to adjust the program costs as exchange rates fluctuate. Your OM representative will be able to confirm program costs upon inquiry.
