Strategic Partnerships

Not wanting to be a stand-alone ministry, we desire to partner with like minded organizations wherever such partnerships would prove mutually beneficial. A few of these strategic partnerships are:

• Great Commission Covenant Schools- colleges, universities and seminaries with whom OMS International has forged a partnership with faculty and students.
  Partnering with our own OMS-established denominations through programs such as Men For Missions.
  Working with other mission agencies wherever mutually beneficial.
  Working with indigenous ministries in countries where we minister.
  Cooperating in Theological Education with other organizations.

Men For Missions International - Short-Term Missions

Men For Missions International is the laymen’s voice of OMS International. Men For Missions (or MFMI) consists entirely of laymen for the purpose of helping more than 400 OMS International missionaries evangelize, plant churches, develop Christian leadership, and eventually partner with the national churches that evolve as a result.

MFMI accomplishes its task through men and women from every walk of life who are willing to make this spiritual commitment:

I will do whatever God asks me to do;
I will go wherever God asks me to go;
I will give whatever God asks me to give.

The commitment between an MFMer and God is realized through a variety of MFMI opportunities. Missionaries are served within the US through MFMI area representatives and MFMI Council programs. A Council is a local group of MFMers who meet periodically to pray for missionaries, help support their projects, and acquire greatly needed items. They also financially assist their members to join teams heading to foreign mission fields.

Known as “The Short-term Mission Specialists,” MFMI has organized and helped over 15,000 men and women serve on OMS International missionfields during its 50-year history. A current listing of MFMI trips appears in this website’s Trips section.

MFMers help missionaries by releasing their personal skills and abilities in a variety of practical, direct ways. Included are work and medical teams, teams which help with local evangelism, teams that go to pray and distribute tracts, and others who are prepared to teach. Often, teams may be involved in one or more of these ministries.

MFMI has no dues nor formal trappings. We exist to serve Christ by assisting OMS International “reach the nations for Christ.” Our mandate is compassion, pure and simple. Our priority is establishing the Lordship of Jesus Christ in each person’s life, and our goal is to provide opportunities for personal obedience to the Great Commission.
