Asia
Delegates from OMS and its partner churches in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
the Philippines, and India participated in a missions conference in Taiwan last October.
Worship and meetings were shared in four languages. Pray for all the participants to be
challenged and encouraged in mobilizing and sending missionaries from their countries
through the ideas that were shared.
Spain
For 40+ years, OMS’ Rock of Horeb camp has served churches and
Christian groups in Spain, with more than 4,000 people attending camps
and retreats every year. Many current pastors and leaders have come
to faith at Rock of Horeb over the years. With expanded facilities and
services, the team hopes to serve many more people and reach
out into society.
India
OMS missionaries Roger and
Glenda Kruse were nestled into
the Nilgiri Hills of India, famous
for its tea. However, something
more than tea was brewing. Every Community
for Christ church planters Akash and his
mother Prisha were led to visit Fatima, a
bedridden widow living alone and without
hope. They lovingly prayed and shared the
Good News of Jesus with her. Fatima’s face beamed
with tears of joy as her life was changed forever.
Africa
Last year, a team of OMS leaders completed phase one of the new Village
Church Planting (VCP) curriculum. The team continues to make updates to
transition from traditional lecture style to interactive adult learning, with
translations into French, Swahili, Chichewa, and Amharic. This January, VCP
trainers will be trained on the new curriculum, and this year, more than 400
new VCP training centers will launch in 23 African countries!
