Who are we? – Introducing
Operation Mobilisation
Over 3,000 people from 80 nations are serving with Operation Mobilisation
to bring a message of hope to the peoples of the world.
We have one thing in common – we love Jesus
and we want others to have the opportunity to hear about Him.
Our Purpose
Operation Mobilisation works in more than 80 countries, motivating
and equipping people to share God’s love with people all over
the world. OM seeks to help plant and strengthen churches, especially
in areas of the world where Christ is least known.
Our Core Values
· Knowing and glorifying God
· Living in submission to God's Word
· Being people of grace & integrity
· Serving sacrificially
· Loving & valuing people
· Evangelising the world
· Reflecting the diversity of the body of
Christ
· Global intercession
· Esteeming the church
What does OM do?
Working in more than 83 countries around the world and on board
two ocean-going ships, Operation Mobilisation seeks to demonstrate
and proclaim the love of God. In every situation OM teams adapt
to the local culture and situation, finding the best ways to share
Jesus.
Through literature, the creative arts, friendship,
Bible studies, videos and cassette tapes, correspondence courses,
relief and development work, and much, much more … by all
means possible we will tell people how our lives have been changed…
and how they can meet Jesus.
Wherever possible, Operation Mobilisation works
in partnership with the local church, encouraging and supporting
local believers. Where there is no church… we seek to plant
churches.
Our statement of faith
We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and
New Testaments in their original texts, are fully inspired by the
Holy Spirit, without error, and are the final authority for the
Church.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus
Christ. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, the authenticity
of His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection
and His present mediatorial work in heaven.
We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit. We believe
He gives life, He sanctifies, He empowers and comforts all believers.
We believe that man was originally created sinless. Tempted by Satan,
man fell and thereby brought the whole race under the condemnation
of eternal separation from God.
We believe that man is saved through repentance and faith in the
finished work of Christ. Justification is through grace alone.
We believe that the Church is the body of Jesus Christ composed
of all true believers. The present work of the Church is the worship
of God, the perfecting of the saints and the evangelisation of the
world.
We believe in the personal and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ
to consummate our salvation and establish His glorious Kingdom.
