Resourcing

God has given His Church the urgent task of reaching all nations. We desire to mobilise God’s people to fulfil this calling. As the early Church was formed, Christ’s commission to “Go and make disciples of all nations…” was resonating in the hearts of believers.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13

Partnership

In OM we see the church as God’s chosen instrument here on earth, designed and commissioned to bring transformation to a fallen and hurting creation. Around the world, OM seeks to encourage God’s people to fulfill this commission by sharing what He is doing and inviting them to get involved.

Our desire is to work in partnership with the church, equipping and empowering believers to live out Christ’s calling in their own community and nation, and to the ends of the earth. Working together we will have a greater impact.
