Evangelism and discipleship
Our members are involved on both evangelism and discipleship and we are helping and equipping the Japanese church to do these too.
Student ministry
Some of our workers are in full-time student ministry, most often partnering with KGK, an established Japanese campus ministry.
Support ministry
Some of our missionaries work in support roles. These workers are essential to OMF's effectiveness and the ability of our missionaries to serve long-term. Some of their roles include finance, TCK care, medical, and pastoral care.
