Jesus brought love and freedom to the poor and the oppressed. We demonstrate His compassion and oppose injustice to bring about
spiritual and social transformation in the world’s second largest
nation.
A land of contrasts
India, the world’s second largest nation is characterised by
contrast and contradiction. India’s rich are getting richer, while her
poor are sinking deeper into a seemingly unbreakable cycle of poverty
and deprivation. While privileged and educated people are discovering a
world of opportunity, centuries-old traditions of segregation and
oppression continue. For the low caste and Dalit-Bahujan people
(untouchables) there seems no hope of a better life.
Training and equipping
OM India Ministries is committed to ending this type of oppression
on all levels and emphasizing education, economics, human development,
social justice and spiritual transformation. Our ministries are focused
on the Dalit-Bahujan people.
OM has inspired a rapidly growing church-movement committed to
partnering and working within society and not outside it. OM India
Ministries is dedicated to training and equipping national Indian
Christian workers as instruments of culturally sensitive, innovative
methods of transformation.
Serving
Almost 2,000 Indian men and women are devoted to serving Christ in
their nation with OM India Ministries. These national workers serve in
Good Shepherd Community Churches, Dalit Education, Advocacy and Human
Rights, Theological Education and Personnel Development and Women’s
Ministry and Empowerment.
