OMF Malaysia

The Life Cycle of a Missional Business

Lloyd Oppel Lloyd and Darlene Oppel joined OMF in 1981 and invested the next forty years in the Mekong region. The last seventeen years of their time in Southeast Asia was as missional business people in a creative-access country. In their own words, “Those forty years included hard times, but in retrospect, we would not have missed those years for anything. We are two of the happiest old missionaries in retirement. Every time we check the river of shalom, we find it is running deeper.”

Sports and the gospel resources

A Christian View of Work in Response to the Fall: Reflections that Will Hopefully Encourage Discussion

Home assignment storage

There are many reasons why a long home assignment (more than six months) can be worthwhile for missionaries and the ministries they are part of. But there are also challenges involved in making such a home assignment happen. The practicalities and circumstances around home assignment often means moving out of one home and moving into a different one when you return. Packing up your life is a stressful and emotional task that missionaries are all too familiar with. Finding somewhere suitable and affordable to store all your household goods in Japan while you are away is an extra challenge that missionaries often face.
