Journey Overview
The REACH UK programme is split into 3 sections: training, outreach & mentoring.
- Training: most of the training (seminars, workshops & discussion groups) takes place at OM UK's main headquarters to build a strong foundation Biblical understanding, working as a team and missions teaching.
- Outreaches: teams travel across Europe putting into practice what they have learnt through the training times. Teams gain experience in evangelism & working cross-culturally in diverse contexts among different people groups, from Moldovan villages to refugee camps in Serbia, to large multi-national cities like Brussels, Dublin & London.
- Mentoring: participants will be paired with an experienced Jesus-follower who will journey with the mentee in weekly one on one sessions to receive guidance, encouragement and help in setting meaningful goals that will help the participant grow spiritually, emotionally and practically. Mentors are part of the cross-cultural community reflecting Jesus' love during REACH. We want to see young people equipped and inspired to REACH the nations with the Gospel. REACH UK equips young people with the skills, knowledge and experience needed to live out the Great Commission which is to make disciples of nations.
Combining Biblical training with practical mission experience in diverse contexts, REACH UK is an 18-week cross-cultural mission programme to empower participants to live as Christ's ambassadors. It's not just about training and knowledge – participants will experience working in a multi-cultural team, serving others and growing in their personal relationship with Jesus. Through mentoring, coaching and time as a team participants will experience transformational growth and take a step towards finding their place in God's mission for the world.
Training will be in English and participants must have a good level of spoken English to benefit from the programme. Applicants must be 18+. This programme is tailored for participants aged 18-late 20's.

What To Expect
The REACH UK programme is aimed at those aged 18-29.
Any travel to and from outreaches is a mixture of plane, bus, ferry, train & car travel and is covered in the overall cost of the programme.
Training topics include spiritual formation and growth, Biblical basis of missions, evangelism training (both theory & practical), VCJF, cultural awareness training as well as outreach-specific cultural training, teamwork & leadership, communication, Discovery Bible Study training, kid’s ministry, transition, re-entry and purpose & calling.
The programme is divided into training weeks and outreach weeks. The outreaches are designed specifically so the team can put into practice what they have learnt during the training times, as well as growing closer to God personally and together as a team.
Each day all participants will spend time in a group Bible study & personal devotion time before any of the training or ministry takes place, whether based at Quinta or in a different location for outreach.
