We are asking for the St. Paul’s community’s support. We value your guidance, we need your prayers, and we are grateful for your financial support: we are responsible for raising $6,500/month to provide for our family as we serve.
No salary?! How does that work?
How it works
OM does not pay normal salaries. All OMers have to raise their own financial support, through friends and family and their church.
Our projected monthly costs are:

Family Matters
Since all of our children were born in Sweden, and we all have Swedish passports, we don’t need any special permissions or work visas to join the OM Sweden team. We all already know the language. Because of our background we have a unique opportunity to serve in this country.
