OM's Global South Initiative
COVID-19 RESPONSE (AS AT MAY 2020)
In urgent response to the covid-19 crisis, GSI is helping existing GSI projects by providing (1) relief from loan repayments to GSI; or (2) emergency funding. To apply for relief, contact the GSI Team at info.gsi@om.org
The Challenge
2.8 billion people with no access to a meaningful gospel witness and this number growing daily by 58,000
The Opportunity
The church in the global south (Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and much of Asia. Click here for a full definition) is growing fast. By 2030, 80% of the world's Christians will come from the global south.
This is the largest pool of unmobilised missionaries in the worldwide church and could dramatically increase Christian witness to the least reached.

Our Strategy
Financial Sustainability for missionaries:
- Sending more global south missionaries sustainably, with small businesses-as-mission, with vocations (e.g., farming, skilled trades), or as professionals (e.g, teachers, healthcare workers), by training them and providing financial assistance
- Financial planning and biblical generosity training for the global south church, empowering them to send
Capacity building for global south centres:
- Helping OM-ers in OM's global south offices upgrade their skills and expertise, e.g., in financial management, administration, personnel management
Mobilisation of the whole global south church:
- Helping OM fields develop relationships with global south Christian businesses and professionals to challenge them to pray, give, and go
