Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF)
What is OMF?
OMF (Formerly known as China Inland Mission) is a global fellowship of Christians with a heart for East Asia. We are passionate to demonstrate and proclaim the good news to East Asia’s billions, many of whom have never seen or heard it.
Their Mission
We share the good news of Jesus Christ in all its fullness with East Asia’s peoples to the glory of God.
Their Vision
Through God’s grace we aim to see an indigenous biblical church movement in each people group of East Asia, evangelising their own people and reaching out in mission to other peoples.
Their Values
As an evangelistic mission, in fellowship with local churches in many countries, we are called to be a worshipping, praying and caring fellowship committed to world-wide evangelism. We rejoice in our partnership with local churches on all continents, and pray that God will make us a humble, vigorous, attractive fellowship, bringing the good news especially to those who have never heard of Jesus Christ.

How can you help OMF?
Prayer
For Alison and for good preparations for July VBS. Almost all staff are involved in various aspects of planning; finding times for planning meetings is a challenge! Thank Him for enthusiasm as we plan how best to share the best news with both the hungry and the curious. We anticipate inviting about 50 – 60 children and youth to come for July. Also, we thank Him for the official start of the translation project – speakers of four languages (one with two main dialects) are learning to understand the Word and speak it accurately and engagingly in their own heart language.
For Alison who asks for perseverance, energy and patience with each other during the intense heat of this month. Poor sleep and the discomfort of constant heat makes most people short-tempered or prone to making mistakes, so we all need extra grace!
For May 6th - 7th OMF Australia Home Staff Conference - pray for good connections with the Australia OMF team and inspiration in terms of mobilisation.
For Pray for the many young adults who continue to journey with OMF and also do pray for the Qld State Conference August 2nd - the speakers and elective topics look very impressive!!!
For East Asia The month of May begins and ends with Preaching Training seminars in two very different parts of the country. These annual seminars bring together preachers for an intense week of learning important principles for understanding the word and communicating it clearly to their local churches. In between these seminars, the preachers are regular members of local preaching "clubs" where they hone their skills, presenting their prepared messages to other members for feedback. We have found this the most effective way to encourage improved teaching in churches. It is now a spreading movement, with 46 preaching clubs and almost 300 preachers who meet monthly around the country. Thank Him for His work among so many leaders for the clear and relevant preaching of His word. Please ask for these seminars and our attempts to equip other trainers to help this expanding work.
