IMPACT = to have a direct effect
That’s what we want to do.
Make an impact.
Use our influence.
For the Kingdom.
Each year we put together teams in strategic partnerships with field personnel, to give students an opportunity to be a part of a missions experience for one to three weeks on a team led by a campus minister, church college minister, or designated collegiate leader. Will you join us to use your influence to make an impact for the Kingdom?!

Paris, France :: Pre-Olympic Team
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST: $4390 (Includes flight, field cost, and travel insurance)
WHAT YOU PAY (includes OMS Contribution): $3285
More than 10,500 athletes will gather from nearly every nation on earth for the 2024 Olympics. As people from around the world gather to watch these athletes, God is giving us an opportunity to connect and proclaim the gospel to peoples from around the globe – many who otherwise do not have access to the gospel. The Olympic games also shift the mindset of locals, whose hearts may be open to different ideas they hear from visitors. We want to seize the opportunity, in partnership with US and French churches, to mobilize the global church on mission in Paris for the 2024 Olympics. We are praying for God to use volunteers and partnerships to reach Parisians, the immigrants making up 40% of the Paris-area population, and the flood of athletes and visitors. During the Olympics, many of the local Parisians will leave the city to avoid the crowds and chaos. This pre-Olympics timeframe will primarily focus on reaching Parisians before they depart by working alongside French churches to fulfill local strategies with various ministries, outreach, and evangelism. Introduce people to Jesus! We want to facilitate the bold proclamation of the gospel in this dark place to those who live here and those who are visiting. For guests to Paris, we hope to share and link them back to Christians in their own countries. For locals, we will do broad evangelism that fits into our overall vision for the city. Our intention is to assist in planting five churches over the next five years. We need to make connections and share the gospel broadly, and your team can help immensely in accomplishing this objective.
