Countless Celebrations !
It ’ s impossible to recognize all God is doing through OMS . When I began to gather information about OMS celebrations , I thought , “ We have enough stories for a year ’ s worth of Outreach Online magazines !”
We ’ ve highlighted a few noteworthy milestones in this issue , but there are many more . For example , OMS Canada celebrates 80 years this year , and OMS New Zealand celebrates 110 years !
We also have five “ retired ” OMS missionaries who are still somewhat active in ministry whom we celebrate : Dick Amos , 65 years ; Hilda Duewel , 65 years ; Bette Crouse , 62 years ; and Dave and Marilyn Graffenberger , 62 years . Don Saum , who has not yet retired , has served 47 years with OMS . Wow ! Well done !
We hope you enjoy this issue of Outreach Online and rejoice with us at God ’ s goodness .
