Giving

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.

For nearly 150 years OMF has helped UK churches send thousands of workers into purposeful cross cultural ministry. If you are passionate about reaching East Asia’s people, join with OMF to pray for and support those sent into cross cultural mission.

Prayer and Faith

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 will supply all the resources needed to serve his purposes through his people, and we pray daily for this provision. We have proved God’s faithfulness for 150 years.

Our Worker’s Needs

Every OMF worker is given a budget of essential costs necessary to keep 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:

Ministry costs

Language learning
Ministry tools
Training
Travel etc.

Personal living costs

Accommodation
Food
Clothes
Children’s education
Medical expenses etc.

Support costs

Contributions towards OMF’s overall ministry and administration:

Recruiting new workers
Producing resources for informing about OMF and East Asia
Home and international office support

Partnership

In confirmation of God’s call, all new and returning workers need to have:

A sending church
30 committed prayer partners
The appropriate proportion of their estimated annual budget pledged in a demonstrable way.

Supporting Our Workers

To support particular workers or the work of OMF more generally, please prayerfully complete the pledge or standing order form attached. Gifts ‘for the support of’ a member of OMF will normally be used for that member’s budget. However, where other higher priority needs exist, OMF may choose to use these gifts for those purposes instead. Since our inception in 1865 (as the China Inland Mission), OMF has had a policy of corporate sharing.

Financial Clearance

All regular giving commitments are counted towards the finance clearance for a worker to depart for their field of ministry. One off gifts given for new members will be divided by the number of years intended for the first term of service and counted towards finance clearance. One off gifts received whilst a member is on Home Assignment are not counted as this often has a distorting effect on the members level of support income.

Regular giving

Please consider making regular gifts by downloading our Standing Order Form PDF and return it to OMF.

We are also pleased to accept and process vouchers from your account with the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), Stewardship Services, etc.
