  • Business Development Consultant

    In Central Asia, entrepreneurs are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm but lack the "know how" to make small businesses work.

    During decades of Soviet rule private businesses were forbidden. Today, without a vital domestic economy, many Central Asian men are forced to seek work in Russia for months or years at a time. While labor migration enables many rural families to survive, the long-term economic benefits are limited as labor migration drains skills, resources and creativity away from the local economy.

    OM partners with both local and international NGOs in a variety of small business development programs. We hope to provide a viable alternative to labor migration for many families.

    We urgently need experienced personnel from a business background who can be involved in training, resourcing and mentoring Central Asian entrepreneurs - men and women - through the process of establishing and expanding their own businesses.

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 .
