Daring to share the Good News

Story | 04/02/2023

I am quite a sociable person who enjoys talking with other people, in fact, I’m very chatty, especially when it comes to talking about God or Jesus. It’s hard for me to find the ‘off’ button (LOL!). I love witnessing for Christ, but in the street, that’s another matter. How do you just go up to somebody you don’t know and start evangelising them when you have no real relationship with them? For once in my life, I was speechless!

An essential role

Story | 02/02/2023 | France

There are 2 parts to the Personnel role; sending French people abroad on mission, and supporting people coming to join the OM France team. Because France is a small field, I get to do both! So that means I’m in touch with French people right from their initial inquiry until they go out into the field. I get to help them work out what they want to do, provide training before they go, and keep in touch when they’re abroad. I'll stay in touch with them right until they return to France and we can debrief about their time away. For people joining the team, I help to explain what it will be like and provide orientation when they arrive to help them settle in.

Looking back...and looking forward!

Story | 27/09/2022 | France

I was never a huge fan of history at school, struggling to understand the pertinence for me today of an event that took place 100 or 1000 years ago. How was understanding the Industrial Revolution going to change what I did tomorrow? As I grew older, I had to admit the reality that our past shapes and influences our present, and will have an impact on our future.

TeenStreet in Spain -Transformed young people

Story | 27/09/2022 | France

This year, via Teenstreet, Operation Mobilisation’s youth ministry, we had the privilege of taking part in two youth events. The ‘Teencity’ event took place on 23 and 24 April, bringing together around 50 young people. They came from all over France, some with experience (and others not, because of covid) of youth rallies. It was wonderful to see them so happy to be among Christian friends (some of them for the first time) under the responsibility of youth leaders who were readily available to them.

Thank you for your quick and generous response to the unfolding crisis happening in Ukraine. Since February 24, more than 3.25 million people have fled the war in Ukraine, seeking safety in countries further west. Your gift has supported OM teams in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Moldova, Hungary and Slovakia to quickly respond to the needs of those fleeing. Our teams were among the first at the border, welcoming the sudden arrival of refugees and coordinating with local Jesus followers and churches to provide for those who had none.
