Requirements
Spreading the Gospel with a team of missionaries in a foreign country is not for everyone. Carpathian Mountain Outreach is geared towards frontline, active ministry and is best suited for single young men who meet the requirements listed below.
Age Requirement
Due to the nature of our ministry, we feel that 17 is the minimum age at which a young man should take part in CMO. However, the Lord has led differently in the past. If you are under 17 years old, and you feel that you would be a good candidate for CMO, please feel free to contact us. Such requests are decided on a case by case basis.
Clear Salvation Testimony
If you are going to tell others how to be saved, you need to be confident of your own salvation first. When you apply for CMO, we ask that you send us a printed copy of your personal testimony - that is, how you came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Financial Support
While we recognize the validity of complete trust in the Lord for financial support, we need to have at least a general idea of how you plan to pay for your expenses during your stay in Ukraine. Each team member (including our full time staff) must be responsible for their own finances.
While participating in CMO, you will need to cover such expenses as rent, food, transportation, and whatever medical needs may arise. At this time, we estimate that you will need a minimum of $1400 for the project. For more details on finances, please refer to the Info Pack, page 19.
Men Only
Women certainly play a vital role in evangelism world-wide. However, this particular project is not well-suited to a co-ed environment. One of the primary objectives of CMO is to provide missions training for men, and we believe that this is best accomplished without the distractions and complexities of a mixed-gender group.
Commitment of Service
CMO 2023 will begin on August 8, 2023 and last through August 30, 2023. We ask that all young men participating in CMO come for the duration of the project. It is not practical to come for less.
All team members are expected to arrive on August 8. Please refer to the Info Pack for details on arrival and departure arrangements.
Statement of Faith
Before you apply for CMO 2023, we ask that you review our Statement of Faith. This document outlines the basic doctrines which we hold as fundamental to the Christian faith. While we do not ask anyone to strictly conform to every detail, we do need to know that you are generally on the same page. You may read our Statement of Faith online.
