Passionate mission shaped
by God over 150 years.
OMF International worldwide unites around a common call and passion. God has given us a heart for Asia and a desire to bring his hope to billions. It is our heart’s cry to partner with the global church to see individual lives and whole communities redeemed through Jesus. Our vision is to plant churches and nurture in ways that equip the believers to grow God’s kingdom among those around them. There are many ways and opportunities to serve, build relationships, evangelize and disciple. How might God use you? Join your story with ours!
Our Mission
In New Zealand, we seek to influence and equip the church in Aotearoa to enthusiastically participate in God’s Mission, ultimately to plant multiplying churches amongst East Asia’s peoples.
OMF International’s Vision is to glorify God by the urgent evangelisation of East Asia’s peoples.
Our Vision
Through God’s grace, we aim to see an indigenous, biblical church movement in each people group
of East Asia, evangelizing their own people and reaching out in mission to other peoples.
