Emerging Mission Movements

Changing the Face of Mission

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. 

Helping Fulfill the Great Commission

From the beginning, OM was committed to mobilising Christians from all nations to fulfill 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 percent 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.
