Ministerial Theological Library is a free resource for God's servants who desire useful materials in the Spanish language to deepen and strengthen their knowledge of God. Many times the necessary resources for pastors are difficult to access due to lack of opportunity or materials readily available to them in their language. The library seeks to supply this need through source materials in formal, biblical, and historical theology such as commentaries, lexical aids, Bible concordances, varied articles, audio mp3 teachings, and video clips.

THEOLOGICAL SYMPOSIUMS
Pastoral Theological Symposiums are 1-2 day events in which a pastor can receive workshop style education designed to instruct and equip them in theory and praxis. At least two teachers are involved in these all-day symposiums in which they offer 3-4 thematic workshops a day.
Often times the pastors whom attend these symposiums have geographic, economic or educational challenges. Therefore, OMI provides food, transportation, housing, all educational materials and instruction free of charge. We purposefully do not take up an offering to cover our costs as we seek to truly alleviate the burdens of these pastors in order they may be more effective and bear more fruit in their local churches.
PASTORAL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Pastoral Mentorship Program is designed as small groups of ministers that meet for weekly discipleship. These meetings are essential for the edification and accountability of the pastors. It is a time for them to share, engage and dialogue so that each pastor becomes more theological, relevant, mature and efficient in pastoring their flocks.
​
For information about when and how often these pastors meet please see our EVENTS page.

International Chain of Prayer Groups is a developing prayer team throughout the Hispano-American speaking world. Presently we have several prayer groups praying frequently for the fulfilling of the Great Commission.
