Central Asia

  • Male Health Educator

    HIV/ AIDS is increasing in Central Asia. We need men to get the word out before it is too late.

    Poverty in rural Central Asia drives many men to seek work in Russia for months or years at a time. Although labor migration ensures economic survival of many rural families year-to-year, its long-term consequences are horrific – the current increases in family breakdown and substance abuse and especially the rising rate of HIV infection can all be directly linked to labor migration.

    Our development organization’s projects take a holistic approach to health education, addressing the facts related to sexual health, HIV infection and other health issues within a moral framework where deeper issues are also addressed. In traditional Central Asian culture, such subjects are normally discussed in single sex groups. As a result, our development organization urgently needs men with a health background and training gifts who can lead community-based health education projects aimed at men.

Haiti Earthquake Relief

Haiti relief

On Tuesday, January 12, the island nation of Haiti was stuck by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Although OM does not have staff in Haiti, we do have ministry relationships with local churches and orphanages.

Once the extent of the need is known, OM plans to have some involvement in relief efforts. This will be similar to our involvement following a hurricane there in 2008. This would involve assisting with medical relief teams and providing food and supplies to the orphanages we have worked with in the past, which are presumed to be damaged. If our local church partners are involved in relief, we will work through them to assist with supplies.

Please pray for the people of Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, and for wisdom for OM leaders and other believers as they seek to bring help.  To give toward the relief efforts, go to Canada Helps .
