Ozark Mission Project

ozark mission project (omp) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit connected to the arkansas area united methodist church, organized to minister to “persons in need" in response to jesus christ's call to servant hood. omp’s vision is to be a christ-led mission opportunity offering a diverse cultural experience that equips youth to make a global difference. we bring church youth groups to camp sites around arkansas where they, in turn, serve people in the surrounding communities. in 1986, omp began with one camp and thirty-five participants. since then, omp hosts 12 camps each summer, serving all four corners of arkansas, and an annual college-aged mission trip outside the state. over 1,000 arkansans volunteer through omp each year. our purpose is: * to be a helping hand to those, who, for financial or physical reasons, cannot maintain their homes. * to meet the spiritual, social and emotional needs of these persons. * to help develop spiritual, social and emotional wholeness in our campers. * to
