On Mission Martial Arts

Day #3 of our OMMA Summer Camp is almost done- lots of action today!

Today was “Nerf day,” so lots of Nerf gun training and full-fledged battles! We also did lots of Kempo, with a few students even earning a new stripe in their belts!👊🏼

Sensei Karen continued our series on faith with the story of Jericho and they marched around the “walls” of the city (made up of our leaders) seven times and saw them fall.

We also made 105 more Blessing Bags for the homeless which will be delivered to our local homeless ministry to distribute, as we continue to champion compassion and community service to demonstrate the love of Jesus. 🙏🏼✝️

One mom told me her kids told her they give the camp a 10 out of 10! We love to hear that- may we make much of Jesus the rest of the week!

We had a really good day at OMMA camp today as well, praise God!

Obstacle courses, ninja star battles, lots of martial arts and Sensei Karen leading the group through our continued Bible study theme of faith.

We discussed the faith of Joshua and the Israelites as they crossed the Jordan River.

Sensei Marco shared a discussion on various types of swords and how they tie into our training at OMMA (always a hit with the kids ⚔️). He also taught the kids some nunchaku, which most of these kids don’t get to experience in their regular training. Fun stuff!

Our young adult leaders did a great job again today, coaching, motivating and caring for the kids in their charge.

Looking forward to Wednesday!

OMMA Summer Camp, Day #2 underway! Praying we can have another great day after a solid start yesterday! 🎉🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️🥋

Day #1 is going great so far! Bible lesson on faith and the Shield of Faith. Craft, games, martial arts, and group discussions.

Great group of kids this week!

What’s really exciting for me as well, is seeing such wonderful teen/young adult leaders teaching and caring for the kiddos. 😊🙏🏼✝️

Many of these helpers were students in our OMMA camps 5 or even 10 years ago! (Our first camp was in 2011)

Love seeing the leaders develop in our community!! Glory to God!

Day #1 of our OMMA Summer Camp is underway! Looking forward to a great week of learning, training, fun and growing in Jesus! 😊🎉🙏🏼✝️

The Point of No Return | On Mission Martial Arts A self-defense concept meets a spiritual reality: how Jesus rescues us from the grip we could never escape on our own.

Pics from the Advanced Test in April

We had two excellent Belt Tests in April - one for our lower ranks and one for our Advanced ranks. Our OMMA leaders were very pleased to see the effort, perseverance, martial arts skill and engagement in the required spiritual disciplines - proud of you all!

Photos of the lower rank test here - the next post will have the pics of the higher rank test.
