OMF's 5 Ministry Challenges
Challenge One
To pursue holiness
Reaching the neglected frontiers demands first and foremost our personal devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ, who asks of us, not part, but all. We seek to be a Fellowship that lives our biblical discipleship with a reverent fear for the Lord.
Challenge Two
To reach the neglected frontiers of East Asia
We believe the Lord has laid upon our hearts the following 5 major priorities:
- Fresh initiatives in ministry to the cousins
- Persevering and expanding ministry to Buddhist-influenced peoples
- Taking up more of the many opportunities in China
- Reaching East Asia’s Diaspora in East Asia and around the world
- Kindling indigenous missionary movements
Challenge Three
Call for Prayer for New Workers
We are calling for prayer for some 900 new workers to join us over the next five years. The 900 would be composed of 700 for frontline or direct ministry roles and 200 for support and mobilisation roles. We are concerned that these workers should be men and women called of God, consecrated to Him, pursuing holiness, and willing to count the cost.
Challenge Four

- Commitment to careful selection in our candidate assessment process
- Commitment to membercare
- Commitment to member training
Challenge Five
To engage with the Sending Church in fresh ways
We believe the Lord is calling us to partner in fresh ways with His church worldwide to reach the peoples of East Asia.
