WE WANT TO SERVE TOGETHER
Mobilizing God’s people to bring hope to at-risk children and youth since 2006!
Open Arms Worldwide (OAW) is about Christ-centered community development through evangelism and discipleship of at-risk children and youth.
Christian church-based and community-led: OAW believes that the most efficient way to reach and teach children and youth is by training small teams to enter a community, identify God’s people who will partner with us, identify local resources available (land, buildings, gifts and talents), and mobilize those communities to reach children and youth with the hope of Jesus. This process leverages the leadership capabilities of OAW with the goal of re-establishing healthy social connections within a child’s community.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
There are many ways to help the cause!
Church Partnership with Open Arms Worldwide can include any one, or combination of, the following expressions; direct missionary support, direct general fund support, short-term mission team opportunities (either as a stand-alone team or part of a multi-church team), and promotion of OAW’s mission within your congregation.
Open Arms is the love of Christ and the hope of the gospel in action through godly and caring community leaders. The best part is how easy it is for outside churches to partner and serve with them!
Parent-child missions, “Marriage on Mission” retreats, youth and young adult missions, are all possibilities for your church. Nothing can replace the experience of serving alongside our Agents of Hope while we share Christ with children, youth, and their families, participate in community service projects, help build homes, lead children and youth camps, and more.
