Folowing a successful launch last year, OM’s Just Christmas campaign is back for 2009. This initiative encourages friends, families and entire churches to replace the Christmas presents they give with practical acts of kindness instead. The money saved can then be used to make a real difference in the lives of those who need a helping hand. OM projects highlighted for this year’s Just Christmas include women’s literacy projects in Bangladesh, street children in Sudan and buying a buffalo for impoverished families in India! For more information, visit the website. Go on, have a Just Christmas this year!

Over 250 participants attended OM’s recent Global Orientation (GO) conference and together they represented a rainbow of nations. More importantly, those at the biannual event did not be returning home straight afterwards, but left to serve God overseas as full-time missionaries. Each had heard and answered God’s call to join the Great Commission – one lady from Trinidad had even sold her own business to join OM’s work in South East Asia. It’s exactly a decade since we first joined OM at the same event in 1999! Praise the Lord that many of those who joined with us are still serving in mission.
