We believe God calls some UK Christians to live and work to build the East Asian Church. For over 140 years OMF International has helped UK churches send thousands of workers into purposeful cross-cultural ministry.

We believe God calls all UK Christians to be involved in some way in world mission. OMF partners with UK churches and individuals who share these convictions and provides opportunities to place, pray for and support those sent into mission with a focus on the peoples of East Asia.

Praying & proving

Finance is one, but by no means the only, vital resource needed to sustain our workers in ministry. For OMF faith and finance are inseparable. As a faith mission, we believe God is able to supply the money we need through his people, and we pray daily for this provision.

We have proved God’s faithfulness for over 140 years. We only share our financial needs with supporters when asked to do so.

Our worker’s needs

Every OMF worker is given a figure which shows the cost of keeping them in their ministry. The amount varies considerably from person to person, depending on their family circumstances and the country or ministry they’re involved in. It breaks down roughly like this:

OMFers Personal Support

Ministry costs – provides for language learning, ministry tools, training, medical care, travel, children’s education, etc.
Personal living costs – money needed for accommodation, food, clothes, recreation, etc.
Support costs – contributes towards the cost of OMF’s overall ministry and administration (recruiting new workers, producing resources for promoting OMF and Asia, home and international office support, etc).
Before starting, all workers need to have at least one supporting church, 30 committed prayer partners and at least 50 per cent of their financial support pledged in a demonstrable way.

Supporting our workers

To support particular workers on a regular or one-off basis as God provides you with resources to share, please prayerfully:
