Lives changed for God's glory, using Christ-centered martial arts
"So whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
~ 1 Corinthians 10:31
"MISSION 2025"

“Our daughter tried several sports through the years, and none really worked out well for her. She has mild CP and is left hemiplegic so physical activities left her feeling defeated. She asked to try martial arts. I hesitated because our older daughter had a negative experience a few years prior. I do not remember how we heard about OMMA, but I am so glad we did!
Our girl began attending classes a few days before her 13th birthday. She is now 15 and has benefitted immensely! She has grown in confidence in attempting new things physically where before she would not even try. She is learning respect, hard work, and perseverance…and she likes it! I appreciate the aspect of enforcing of Christ-like values. All the Sensei’s have been beautiful role models, mentors, and coaches who not only teach Biblical principles, but embody them during each class! Laura J., Mother

THE NEED
THE NEED to accomplish this is great. Our financial situation, our student population and our instructor capacity have all taken a hit during the 2 years+ of COVID. We are recovering but need significant growth to achieve our MISSION 2025 plan. We are asking the Lord to provide the following financial donations, which will allow us to recruit and develop the needed instructors, launch the new physical dojo locations ($25,000 each), and increase the number of students impacted.
TOTAL NEED for MISSION 2025 = $180,000.00
REMAINING NEED = $89,011.68 (as of March 1, 2024)
This is above and beyond the current revenues being received by OMMA. If we receive the donations sooner, it will allow us to accelerate portions of the Mission 2025 plan. Would you prayerfully consider being one of our key Mission 2025 partners? We need givers at the following levels:
1 Partner @ $20,000
2 Partners @ $10,000
5 Partners @ $5,000
5 Partners @ $2,500
12 Partners @ $1,000
(Note – this is a commitment over the life of the Mission 2025 campaign, through December 31, 2024)
"Just 25 gifts in the amounts listed above, or the equivalent in monthly pledges will complete our Mission 2025 fundraiser and allow us to MASSIVELY increase our impact - double our dojo locations, more online students, more OMMA Instructors, triple our in-dojo students, plus significantly greater community impact through all these new members engaging in our service & mission projects! I hope you will prayerfully consider joining us!"
Marco Fiorentino
Founder, Senior Instructor
The map below shows how these donations will be put to use. Our goal is to increase from our current place of ONE full-time dojo and TWO part-time dojos to THREE full-time dojos and THREE part-time dojos by December 2025. To do so will require us to double the number of OMMA Instructors and will lead to more than doubling or possibly tripling the number of students served.
