Romans 10:14

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?

Romans 15:20

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.

Pioneering Initiatives – Breaking New Ground

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

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

New Places

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.

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. Gifted artists are building bridges for the Gospel through community art projects.

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.

Prayer Points

  • Artslink: “This experience has further confirmed that using the arts can easily cross language, age, religious, and cultural barriers in unique ways.” Pray for ArtsLink teams as they share God’s love across cultural divides.
  • Sportslink: Pray that people that love sport can be attracted to Jesus through SportsLink teams around the world, through the teams that play in leagues, the youth being coached in teams, and through hosting tournaments.
  • Thailand: Please pray for ACT, working together at the invitation of the local Baptist church to help train and enthuse its youth.
  • Please pray for the multinational pioneering trekking teams distributing literature and sharing personal testimony in Nepal. Increasingly they are meeting new Christians in remote locations.
