OM, along with 155 other European mission organisations, was represented during the first-ever mission-net event, a European Youth Mission Congress commissioned by the European Evangelical Alliance and the European Missionary Alliance. The congress took place 8 – 13 April 2009 in Oldenburg, Germany.

About 2,600 young Europeans participated in five intense days of Bible study, worship, prayer seminars and workshops over the Easter weekend. They were challenged to discover what God is doing in Europe and the rest of the world and consider their place in building the Kingdom. Mission-net presented mission movements around the world and provided a network of opportunities, both locally, nationally and internationally. Thirty-five OM workers were available throughout the week to present OM.

George Verwer spoke at the prayer night on Easter Saturday. His passion for the world and for prayer impacted many of the participants, and the MC commented that if we would pray as George speaks, we would pray the whole day! Alongside George Verwer, Jason Mandryk, co-author of “Operation World”, also spoke that evening.

Get excited about the next mission-net, which will take place 28 December 2011 – 2 January 2012. The location is still to be determined. Please pray that God will move mightily in the young participants’ lives and help them realize His purposes for them.
