An Introduction to the OC Global Alliance

Self enrollment
The imminent reality of missions today is the rapid and massive growth of missionaries coming from the non-western world.  Many missionary sending organizations have internationalized in various ways in order to thrive under this new reality and welcome our brothers and sisters from the Global South.

While OC has been international for many years, we have officially restructured our organization to meet this new reality.  We call it the Global Alliance - an alliance of eleven OC missionary sending agencies around the world that operate separately but are united by vision, mission, and values. 

This is our reality.  Becoming an OC missionary means embracing and participating in our reality so that all men might be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.

This course is self-paced, but there will be opportunities to ask questions and communicate with one of our liaisons between the US Mobilization Center and the rest of the Global Alliance.  Please self-enroll and get started whenever it's convenient.
