WOA Mission to Establish Regional Internship and OLI Before Pentecost

WOA

The Mission Department at WOA aims to renew endeavors for a fruitful year as Pentecost approaches. Anticipating Pentecost as a pivotal moment for the year, various regions around the world also reported their efforts to bring forth a more fruitful season.

Independently from OA US and Canada, the international ministries and fellowships based in the U.S. are currently seeking to hold their own internships and gatherings.

US and Canada are considering to establish mission internship programs in different cities around the country so that more doors will be open for potential leaders to pioneer new churches. The WOA mission department has the hope that these efforts can gain momentum this spring.

Africa is planning to have an OLI program for national leaders around July and pioneer more countries in Africa. Also, they are currently looking for a secondary school in Kenya to raise teens and youth groups. 

In Europe, OA France hopes to achieve OLI preparations by next week and decide on the schedule for all members who will attend. There also will be a prayer vigil and outreach event for teenagers and students. OA France wants to make their current teenagers participate in OLI so they plan to guide them well. 

Spain has shared their advancements and plans for OLI and is currently gathering leaders and members to assist in developing the schedule and Bible study topics, accommodation, and food preparation. In Madrid, the OLI training will be from May 19 to 21.

A WOA mission department representative shared, "Through the blood of Jesus and his love, God freed us from the power of sin.There is no shadow of death that covers around us, he calls us as children of light. This is our identity. The Blood of Jesus is in us and there is no power or curse that can reach us.  This should encourage us all to go out and serve and have a very prosperous year."

"This is a very basic principle and we should go very simply. And there are precise results and outcomes as their focus is clear. There should be a clear plan, goals we keep praying for intensely. We have to fix our eyes on Jesus and our determination should be clear before the Lord."

God’s Gift and Our Response: The Cycle of Grace, Gratitude, and Worship

The Christian faith is marked by a unique and profound rhythm: grace, gratitude, and praise. At the core of this faith lies the unmerited favor of God, a gift so freely given that it defies human understanding.

Called to Make Disciples in All Nations

In His Great Commission, Jesus commands us to make disciples-not simply to inspire a single moment of conversion but to lead others into a committed, lifelong walk with Him. As Reformed theologian R.C. Sproul wisely reminds us, "Jesus' lordship encompasses all of life."

The Power Within: Embracing the Holy Spirit's Work

In the journey of faith, we often find ourselves eagerly seeking to fulfill the Great Commission, to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth, just as Jesus commanded his disciples. However, in our fervor to carry out this mission, let us not overlook a crucial commandment given by our Lord Himself.
