Doulos Hope: 1 or 2 Years on board the Doulos Hope!

OM Ships International (OMSI) is a faith mission funded through gifts and revenue from the book fair on board. All crew and staff serve as volunteers who raise their own support.

Volunteering on board Doulos Hope, you will be impacted as you participate in this life changing adventure.

This is a great and unique opportunity to join the first crew on Doulos Hope to get the ship ready for ministry. Come with a servant heart, an attitude to learn, and willingness to be flexible and this could be the experience of a lifetime. Many who have been on OM ships on a short term experience bear witness to the huge impact it has made on their lives, and to how God has worked in and through them.
