Emerging Mission Movements

God is raising up a new generation of mission workers from Latin America, Southern Africa and parts of Asia. We encourage and equip these passionate labourers to go where they can be most effective for the Gospel.

Until 1980 most mission workers came from the Western World. But as the church exploded in Latin America, Southern Africa and parts of Asia, countries that once received missionaries are catching the vision to send.

Helping fulfil the Great Commission

From the beginning, OM was committed to mobilising Christians from all nations to fulfil the Great Commission. The historic change in the world missions’ movement gave even greater momentum to OM’s efforts to reflect the diversity of the body of Christ.

By 2000 South Korea and India joined the USA and the UK as the largest missionary sending nations in the world. Today 62% of all OM workers are from new sending nations.

We are empowering and supporting churches in these regions as they reach their own nations and encouraging them in their participation in world missions.

Haiti Earthquake Relief

March 7 Update on OM’s Haiti Involvement

During the first week of March, a couple sent by the OM office in the Netherlands helped our work in Haiti. He is a structural engineer and inspected several buildings including orphanages, churches and some houses. He provided reports with recommendations on each. The wife is a psychologist, and she met with hundreds of adults and children, helping them process their reactions to the earthquake and the pain of their losses.

At the end of the week, an eight-member medical team sent from OM's staff in Uruguay arrived to assist. They are helping to serve a volunteer medical clinic and also are visiting orphanages and doing clinics for the children.

Our team continues to deliver food to various locations. At OM’s office in the USA, staff are collecting some specific food and hygiene items and some shelter items to fill a shipping container. After this shipment, we will focus on obtaining food and supplies within Haiti to help stimulate the local economy.

OM's Caribbean team is grateful for the funds they continue to receive from various OM offices around the world. To give toward the relief efforts, go to  Canada Helps .
