Mission Trips
We believe that the youth are to play an integral role in fulfilling the gospel commission, and it is the goal of Ouachita Hills Academy to be a part of preparing them for this work. To this end, academy students are active in supporting the mission of the church not only in their own locale but also through various foreign mission projects.
The following is a brief sample of some of the efforts put forth by the students of OHA.

| India 2007 |
| Date: March / 2007 |
| Church members from India were brought together from all over the states of Andra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Rajashtan to receive training in witnessing skills and given tools to help evangelize their own neighborhoods and villages.
It was encouraging to see people excited to do evangelism. By God's grace we pray that many people will be baptized through the ministry of the members who were trained. |
