Feeding Ukrainian Christians
Since February 2022 , OMS ’ Europe / Middle East team has led the charge of supporting the Christian community in Ukraine as its members serve and care for locals and refugees affected by the ongoing war . The team , including many OMS missionaries from other regions , has transported an incredible 607,000 pounds ( about 275,000 kg ) of food across the Hungary-Ukraine border since the start of the war , providing vital sustenance and hope .
In late 2022 , the team embarked on a new project to serve Ukrainian pastors and their families who are selflessly staying to support their communities . They wanted to provide one month ’ s worth of emergency supplies to these faithful pastors . The OMS team has successfully delivered food and relief packets to hundreds of pastors and their families throughout western Ukraine .
Thanks to generous support from OMS donors worldwide , who have contributed a total of more than one million dollars , OMS has been able to fund these ongoing relief efforts . Thank you for empowering our team to continue serving those who need it most .

Sustaining a Camp ’ s Legacy
In recent years , business as mission has taken a more prominent role in the Europe / Middle East region , with emphasis on two of OMS ’ most significant projects there : Peña de Horeb Camp in Auñón , Spain , and the Bridge International Preschool and Nursey in Budapest , Hungary .
The camp stands out as a feature project , with a renewed focus on financial viability and the ultimate objective of reinvesting in discipleship and community-based initiatives throughout the region . OMS Europe / Middle East missionaries welcomed three work teams to Peña de Horeb in 2022 . Each group contributed immensely toward the much-needed maintenance and renovation of the camp ; some team members served on a similar work team in 2023 . God provided $ 3,000 to fund the renovation projects and complete essential upgrades . Peña de Horeb has held an integral role in the history and community of Auñón , and our missionaries remain steadfast in their commitment to advancing and preserving this beautiful camp .
