OM's Global South Initiative
The Challenge and the Opportunity
2.8 billion people have no access to a meaningful gospel witness and this number grows daily by 58,000.
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.
What We Have Done
1. Financial Sustainability for Global South Fields and Missionaries:
- Supported OM centres or fields running businesses for financial sustainability and as a mission strategy.
- Sent global south missionaries sustainably, with small businesses-as-mission, with vocations (e.g., teaching), or as professionals (e.g, healthcare workers), by training them and providing funding.
- Financial planning and biblical generosity training for the global south church, empowering them to contribute and send.
2. Leadership Development for OM's Global South Leaders
3. Review OM's Structures and Culture; Making Adjustments to Better Serve the Global South Church
