Are you looking for a chance to serve the LORD with your hands and invest in your relationship with God? fACTOR participants not only follow a discipleship course but also volunteer in practical ways at the ZavCentre, a hospitality centre located just outside of Brussels.
The fACTOR program exists to disciple people through mentorship and daily teachings while providing much-needed help to support the development of the Zav Centre.
For three months, participants will spend time diving into God’s word together in the mornings and will assist in ZavCentre upkeep (cleaning, dishes, maintenance, etc.) in the afternoon. Participants will also meet with individual mentors each week and will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with volunteers and missionaries from around the world.
The ZavCentre is one of OM’s hospitality centers which hosts volunteers, missionaries, churches and organizations from Europe and & beyond. Participants are responsible for serving the guests practically which could entail different roles ranging from cleaning to catering or helping with special projects. Participants will work with short and long-term missionaries, local volunteers, and teams who come and serve here in Belgium. Participants will also be discipled by our own team members and will be challenged to grow in different areas over 3 months. fACTOR allows time for daily reflection, weekly discussions, and intentional study.
The fACTOR program is tailored for participants aged 18-40 who are ready to serve others and be challenged to grow in their faith in a cross-cultural environment. Participants need to be flexible to accommodate to changing schedules based on ZavCentre bookings and be enthusiastic about working with those from different countries and cultures.
Participants will be living in on-site accommodation at the ZavCentre with other volunteers, guests, and OMers from around the world.
