Missionaries To America (MTAs)
This program came about as a result of the work of the OBCs in training indigenous missionaries, by bringing those national youth into the US in order to show the remarkable results of their training and to evangelize through cultural performances. The program has done evangelism in most of the US by visiting churches, prisons, schools, hospitals, universities, nursing homes, parks, etc. Because of recent difficulties with visa procurement process for foreign missionaries from developing countries coming to America, a new program of Missionaries to Canada has been started.
