  • About

Join us for this unique mission opportunity where you will be a part of a cross-cultural trekking team traveling by foot through the remotest and most beautiful, unreached areas of the country. The team will visit churches and families when trekking to different villages and will reach out to youth and children through evangelistic programs.

  • Ministry Details

The team will embark upon an exciting journey of traveling from village to village, walking up to 15 km between up to 6 different villages, sleeping in tents and believer's homes, encouraging small groups of believers, and partnering with local churches. You will have the opportunity to organize kids' programs, youth outreaches, visiting families and elderly in their homes, and possibilities for helping practically where needed in every village visited.

Lionheart Holiday Clubs with OM UK's Kids 'n' Things Team

A Lionheart holiday club is a five-day event for children, held in a church. Each day there is a fast moving, entertaining two-hour programme, designed for children to enjoy themselves as they learn the truth about God and about themselves. OM’s Kids ‘n’ Things children’s ministry team works in partnership with the church members to run the club. A Lionheart holiday club can be a useful event to bring in children from the community who do not usually attend church. Our aim is then to channel these children into the ongoing children’s work of the church. Although some children may become Christians during the holiday club it is often during the ongoing contact with Christians that children make a commitment. A Lionheart club is suitable for all primary school age children (4-11 years old). Some churches run a family service at the end of the week, which the children and their families are invited to.
