OM is a global community of Jesus followers, united to bring God’s love to those who don’t know it.

Jesus’ generous, limitless love is our example, and His love fuels our passion.

We believe that the love of Jesus has the power to change everyone and everything, including the reality of those who are oppressed, forgotten and marginalized. We believe it is God’s mission to transform lives and communities as He reconciles the world to Himself.

We believe everyone was made for God’s purposes. Our talents, gifts and passions are His tools in us. We want our work and our words to shine His light and love so that those we live amongst will see it and glorify God.

We are OM.

“My personal development over this summer is something I can’t overstate. Getting to be a part of a flourishing, healthy organization, being in really productive meetings, being under really relational and excellent leadership, these are things I’m going to carry with me that I couldn’t get from in the classroom.”

- Katt

- Landon, Business Development, Arabian Peninsula (In-person)

- Amanda, Communications, Hungary (In-person)

“The skills that my supervisor trained and developed me in - skills needed to be a journalist, like writing and conducting interviews - definitely continue to be used today in my job with the university newspaper and in a podcast that I run. The internship had a profound impact on me professionally and is a highlight on my resume.”

- Chris, Communications, Southeast Asia (In-person)

“I was seeking clarity in whether missions is something I would be interested in or not or even called to and God was very clear in the way my summer went. I learned so much about myself and saw the things I was gifted and really felt led to an environment such as this. “

- Adia, Hungary (In-person Intern)

“Our work on this internship this summer would not have been the same without the amazing group of people I got to work alongside. We shared talks, laughs, and tears walking through this journey to help other and share the gospel. I am beyond blessed to have been given this opportunity! I praise God and can not wait for what He has prepared for me next.”

- Berli, Costa Rica (In-person Intern)

"I saw God work through a lot of my insecurities and remind me that I often underestimate myself. I saw God remind me that I am pursuing the right major and path at the moment. In a way, God gave me a glimpse of what post-grad life could look like. I would definitely recommend this internship. It was really well organized and structured. There was room for personal and professional growth.”

"God worked through me in ways I never imagined." — Josh

Josh* interned as a Videographer in the Middle East, on a team that desperately needed more advocacy tools—videos that recruit workers and mobilize prayer and resources for the region. Josh created three such videos, and launched a social media presence for his team. Not only did his work make a difference for his hosts, it resulted in an invitation to return to work in the Middle East after graduation (which he did). We asked him to describe the highlight of his internship:

“Having the opportunity to travel the field and meet with so many workers, and to see their individual ministries and try to tell their story. I can’t say how encouraging it was to spend time with believers from all around the world. It was an amazing experience. I think God showed me that He can and will work through me in ways that I never imagined before. I think I also learned to trust more in His faithfulness.”
