[ How to get involved ? ]

Why not join us for a summer?

Each summer we have an international 5 day training conference and then opportunities to work on a short-term team in Russia for two to four weeks. We have been running these conferences for over ten years and they are an excellent way to spend a summer. The options vary from year from year, but some of them can include:

• riding the Trans Siberian express from Moscow to Vladivostok, stopping to work with Russian churches en route.
• working with street kids or other children in one of Russia's huge cities or in children's camps
• working alongside a local church and experiencing Russian life as you live with church members and their families and much more!

Or consider the two year "Global Action" programme with OM in Russia?

• join us in St. Petersburg and help support the OM ministry teams in Russia, through organising short term campaigns, writing press reports, organising conferences, helping with literature distribution, financial management and fundraising, training Russian nationals, teaching and training, developing aid ministry and lots more too. Each member of our St Petersburg team is also involved in a local church.
  
  
• help support several Russian churches in Novosibirsk and the surrounding villages. Do you have a heart for teaching, discipleship, student, youth or children's work? Maybe this option is for you! Working with Siberia's village folk also offers many exciting challenges. There are also options for youth ministry, teaching English, leading bible studies and helping in orphanages. These options are dependent on the local pastors' needs at the time.
