Church relationships are key to our ongoing mission to reach the least-reached peoples of the world with the transforming message of the gospel. In addition to directly supporting our work and our staff, churches also provide opportunities to raise awareness of our work, and to meet and mobilize new volunteers and missionaries.
Does your church share our mission to see a community of Jesus followers within reach of every person in the world? We’d love to talk to you! Contact us to have an OM team member visit your church.
You have been uniquely shaped by God with gifts and passions for the purpose of sharing His love with the world. Our heart is to inspire you to discover and embrace these gifts and passions, and to equip and connect you with opportunities to use them, sharing God’s love with people who don’t know it.
Your ongoing financial support makes it possible for us to reach out to desperate, hurting souls with the hope, beauty and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Since 1957, OM has been working to carry on the mission that God placed on George Verwer’s heart to share the message of God's love with those who had little chance to hear it. What began with three men has grown to a global movement of over 4,900 passionate Christ-followers from 118 nationalities, serving in more than 120 countries.
The gospel changes everything - every part of life, and our team reflects that. We are made up of pastors and teachers, as well as artists, engineers, IT professionals, bakers, and much more! If you have a passion to serve the cause of Christ, you’ll find a place for your unique gifts and skills with OM.
God has used us to take the gospel around the globe, and we won’t stop now. There are an estimated 3 billion people who still do not know God’s love, so we will continue to motivate Jesus followers to go to places with few or no churches.
“Roughly two-thirds of the Japanese population consider themselves Buddhists, and religious freedom is valued. However, Jesus followers in the country still face many challenges, including division between church denominations.”
“In one of the remaining communist states on earth and the poorest country in South-East Asia, 61 per cent of the population follow Buddha. Yet there is church growth, led by nationals, despite government restrictions and persecution.”
“Sindh province has Pakistan’s highest percentage of Hindus overall, accounting for 8.8 per cent of the population, or around 4.9 million people. Sam has been working in the region in the south of Pakistan for the past 11 years, bringing hope through the message and example of Jesus.”
“An off-hand remark during a team meeting led to the formation of an exciting new river-based ministry in Brazil. Together with partner organizations and local churches, the OM team is sharing the gospel along the banks of the Amazon River.”
