In 2021 , OMK :
• Returned to making personal appearances at camps , churches , and schools .

• Produced the Good News Reporters in Training ( GRITs ) five-week virtual mission adventure .
• Developed / tested a Good News compass evangelism tool based on John 3:16 .
In 2021 , OMK introduced a hands-on mission project , inviting kids to transform the campus of Peniel Holiness Camp in Pennsylvania . To help celebrate the camp ’ s 125 th anniversary , kids and adults decided to work together to sponsor new picnic tables . The kids raised enough money for two picnic tables . Two adults demonstrated how to assemble the tables and had a few older kids assist them . After all the kids traced their hands on the tables , along with writing their names and ages to “ leave a legacy ,” they formed a circle around the tables and took turns praying . Jared *, a 12-yearold boy , emerged from the group and prayed a moving prayer . He asked God to use the tables for many years as a place for friends to gather , for families to grow , and for campers to share the love of Jesus . Life-changing , faith-building moments like this testify of how missionary hearts are growing .
* Name changed for security reasons .
Dynamic Women in Missions
Dynamic Women in Missions ( DWIM ) inspires women to become more involved in international ministry by :
• Connecting and encouraging women to join missions opportunities and reach out to women in countries where OMS ministers .
• Participating on mission trips to equip women around the world with the tools they need to confidently share the Gospel with their community .
• Supporting and encouraging OMS missionaries and our national leaders .
Sowing and Reaping
OMS missionary Michelle Hawkins serves as a DWIM trainer . She and the Ugandan Village Church Planting national trainer , Fidelite Ramla , met Florence at a Seed Sowers training . This is Florence ’ s testimony :
“ When I heard that DWIM was returning to our village for this training , I decided that I must come and meet you so I could testify how important and valuable the skills I received during the previous training are .
“ When I attended the training , I couldn ’ t stand in front of many people and talk . In the village , I would sit with other women and gossip . I never thought that one day , I could share Christ with others . But when I learned the 3 Circles evangelism tool , the 30-second testimony conversation starter , and how to lead Bible studies , I felt prepared to share Christ and encourage others .
“ The Seed Sower training enabled me to create friendships with many women by interacting with them . I don ’ t have time to waste . When I meet two or three people , I share my testimony or the 3 Circles . I also lead a church I planted in my home , where men , women , and children worship . I thank the Lord for that .”
