Pioneering Initiatives

We go where few are willing to go...
...and use all possible means to share the Gospel with those who have never heard.

 

Pioneering Initiatives – Breaking New Ground

It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. Romans 15:20

OM’s ministry around the world is characterised by the desire to go where few are willing to go and to identify those who have no opportunity to hear about Jesus. This means reaching out to those of other religions as well as people in remote, inaccessible parts of the world.

Planting churches and distributing Bibles and Christian literature play a vital part, ensuring people can learn about Jesus in their own language and cultural setting.

“No one has the right to hear the gospel twice while there remains someone who has not heard it once.”
- Oswald J. Smith

New Ways

While proven methods are still valued, OM workers are constantly seeking creative and innovative ways to connect with people and to demonstrate and proclaim the truth about Jesus.

OM Sportslink uses the universal language of sport to open doors for the Gospel, equipping and empowering people to be effective in sport ministry.

And businessmen and women are bringing about spiritual, social, economic and environmental transformation by using their skills in the heart of the community. Business as Mission (BAM) helps to create businesses that are run for profit on the basis of kingdom principles.

OM Arts International seeks to glorify Jesus among the nations by creating short and long-term mission opportunities for artists.  Gifted artists are building bridges for the Gospel by serving communities and creating art.
