Canadian Challenges 2012

Enter another world. Stay in yours. Do both.

Virtually every ethnic/nationality group is found in Canada's larger cities.  This presents a unique opportunity for Canadian believers to get to know our world and to model the love of Christ 'to every nation'.

OM's Canadian Challenges and Impacts are a natural step forward for you and your church to embrace world mission. Discover what it means to connect with the world in your own backyard!

Introduce our newest neighbours to the Gospel in culturally-appropriate ways. Work in partnership with an ethnically diverse church committed to continuing outreach after the summer. Be challenged in ways you can only imagine.

"I knew in my heart that there would be many people from non-Christian religions in the community who would be open to talking about spiritual matters, but I was totally overwhelmed at how many divine appointments there were. The Holy Spirit is at work in our community opening many hearts."

-Host Pastor

Every Challenge and Impact provides cross-cultural training and ministry opportunities among hospitable yet unfamiliar cultures. No passport needed: stop dreaming about missions far away- you can start at home this summer!

  • Visit major religious sites and learn about other faiths and cultures
  • Receive training in sharing your faith - and then put it into practice with your team daily
  • Explore the rich ethnic diversity of our great cities
  • Be a part of what God is doing in Canada
