Recruiter/Inspirator: Sweden

The job of being recruiter/inspirator with OM Sweden is absolutely key to the expansion of missions mobilisation of Swedes to world mission.

Sweden has a long history of sending out missionaries to other countries - mostly to africa. Unfortunately this is no longer true. Sweden is a highly secularised country and most churches in Sweden are declining. It is not an overstatement to say that Sweden needs to be re-evangelised and re-mobilised for world mission.

The role of Recruiter/Inspirator is based 75% of the time outside of the office, taking meetings in churches and Bible schools. The remaining 25% is spent in the office, helping to follow up the results and keeping in touch with churches.

OM Sweden is situated in an immigrant populated suburb and there are plenty of opportunities to minister to the community together with the local church.

Sunday School shares the greatest story
16 Apr, 2007
A team from OM Ships visited Sweden recently to do a recruiting tour. One of the highlights was a visit to an Arabic church in Stockholm. The team told the congregation about "The greatest story ever told" project, which provides every child that comes onboard OM ships a copy of the gospel in there own dialect in a cartoon form comic.

The team told them that 10 Swedish kronor could pay for four of these books to be printed. After the meeting, the Sunday school shared that they had been saving up money for months, so that they could all do something together during the summer (a Sunday school treat). But they had decided that the money should go to "The greatest story ever told" project instead, so that children around the world could hear about Jesus. They gave us the equivalent of over 50 Euro - all that they had saved! That's over 200 books!
