Who it is for

For people who feel called, but are not sure how to start

After a life-changing DTS, many people ask: where is the Lord leading me now? Some feel called to stay and serve. Some know Cambodia is their place, but they do not yet have the skills or clarity to commit long-term.

SOMD is a place to keep growing spiritually, learn practical skills, and serve in real ministry, so you are prepared for what God has for you.

  • Grow in your walk with God and your calling
  • Learn skills like teaching, leading and planning
  • Serve in real ministry with our staff team

A registered University of the Nations course

SOMD (CHR 241) is a registered University of the Nations course. Students who finish it earn 11 to 12 credits. These credits can count toward a UofN degree.

Fees cover training, housing and food. Many students raise their fees with help from churches, family and friends. This is a normal part of the journey, and we are happy to help you plan.
