Training and Retreats
It’s not as easy as one might assume to go home again. It can be especially difficult to know how to live as follower of Jesus in your home country. OMF provides training, retreats and conferences for East Asian believers returning to their home countries.
If you are a believer preparing to return to East Asia or work with believers who may return soon, please contact us for more information about possible retreats and conferences near you.
