Service Outreaches

17 Oct Service Outreaches

The final component of the On Mission Martial Arts program is taking progressive and intentional steps to become an “On Misson Christian.”

We do this by stepping out of our comfort zone in serving others in our community, city, country and the world by helping meet physical, emotional and spiritual needs in the name of Jesus Christ.

Students will become more Aware of needs and opportunities to be a vessel of God’s love through words and deeds, will become further Equipped to minister to people, and will be gently encouraged to get more Engaged.

Aware, Equipped, Engaged – an On Mission Christian on the way to becoming an On Mission Black Belt!

Below is a detailed account of the service project On Mission Martial Arts has done since 2009.

1,872 Snack bags with notes of encouragement to our local homeless community in support of Word on the Street Ministry (WOTS)

767 Letters of encouragement to imprisoned and persecuted brothers & sisters in Christ worldwide in support of the Voice of the Martyrs ministry (VOM)

585 Mini-parachutes used to drop Bibles & other Christian materials into the jungles of Columbia in support of the Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) parachute project.

I am excited to have been a part of all this, and as OMMA expands to a second and, Lord willing, third location in the near future, I look forward to see how our impact just in this one small area continues to blossom!

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey with us! Please pray for our next project, November 7th, 2014 at Avalon Church.

To God be all the glory,
