OMS Outreach Sep - Dec 2015 | Page 3

Office of the President ONE OPPORTUNITY Since coming to One Mission Society (OMS) more than a year ago, it has been a joy to begin to get to know our OMS family! In this process, Esther and I have been given many books—inspiring biographies of OMS missionaries and their thrilling stories. Through reading several of these and meeting many dynamic people, we look back with gratitude and rejoice in what God has done in the past through OMS. With deep appreciation for OMS’ spiritual heritage and history, God is now birthing a compelling vision for the future. Two verses on the walls of my office confront me every day: Mark 16:15 and Acts 4:12. The vision for giving at least one opportunity for every person to hear the Good News flows out of these verses, the truth of God’s Word. There is NO other name in heaven or on earth to proclaim, and we must preach the Good News to ALL creation. Rooted in Scripture and building on the foundation that previous generations sacrificially laid, this vision reflects OMS’ core mission and values. It all starts with God and what he has done through Christ. 3
