Sending & equipping Christian missionaries from Australia to the world!

05/10/2026

We are excited to share that this year we have accepted two new missionary candidates! Both of these young missionaries are in need of your support. Please pray about how you might join with them through your time, talent, or treasure - and contact us to learn more.

Kiana will serve from Melbourne and care for all of our missionary kids. Her own experience as a missionary kid, and her studies in psychology and ministry, set a great foundation for this. Her goal is to be 50% funded by January in order to attend the OMS Asia-Pacific summit and give her focus to caring for the missionary kids there.

Elma grew up in Cambodia as a missionary kid and has lots of experience in ministry. Her studies in Korean language and music give her a great start to join the OMS team in South Korea. Elma will be applying to continue some studies, as part of the strategy the team has. But she cannot put in her application without a larger support team.

If you are interested in hearing from one or both of these women - and want to support a missionary just at their journey's beginning! - please send us a PM or comment below.

This month three missionaries completed their training requirements with two very full weeks of Pre-Field Training! Despite being called "pre-field" training, it is a helpful course for those who are continuing ministry, as well. Topics are an assortment of OMS specifics and lessons on health and growth as a missionary and cross-cultural service/living. As part of the training we also visited a Korean congregation, a Zomi congregation, and attended Activate.

Two of the group are serving itinerantly in Asia, and the third is headed for residential missions in Cambodia.

In the second photo you'll also see one of our board members, Sharon, who joined us for the final day. And Ian, our director, who helped to facilitate each day.

This year we have had nine missionaries complete their training requirements in order to continue itinerant service or head overseas residentially. 🥳

*Thank you to Light Community Baptist Church for continuing partnership and allowing us to use the facilities for learning!

Join us at Activate on 15 August to be inspired about mission! We'll be there along with three of our missionaries who will be attending as part of their Pre-Field Training.

Thanks Unreached Peoples - Joshua Project for sharing these insights on how the consumer culture many of us come from affects how we do missions. We have experienced these things and some of them we discuss and plan an offensive for in the Pre-Field training our missionaries are required to attend. Others we will consider how to engage with.

What do you think? Have you found these to be true?

Happy 20th Anniversary to Hope House Organization! This ministry in rural Cambodia was founded by former OMS Australia directors Billy & Jeanne Campbell. Many of you have continued supporting Hope House and the Campbells in their work throughout Asia.

We are so pleased that our director, Ian, his wife Josie (our bookkeeper), and several other Hope House supporters & advocates from Melbourne were able to join the celebration in Kampong Speu.

Congratulations to our Khmer brothers and sisters for these 20 years of faithfulness to God's heart for children and those in need. 👏🏼

Congratulations Barthez & Vivian for beginning their journey to Japan after three years of preparation! Thank you to all their prayer and financial supporters.🙏🏻

We are excited for this dedicated and caring couple to join the OMS Japan team to build meaningful relationships that will introduce the hope of Jesus to more people.

So far this year OMS Australia has sent out three missionaries to their overseas fields of service. 🥳

Late last month OMS President Jeff Edwards and his wife Laura*, who serves in Member Care, visited us in Melbourne for an OMS Australia board meeting followed by a meet-and-greet with the Aussie missionaries in town.

We always enjoy seeing them in the southern hemisphere. Thanks for making the trip Jeff & Laura!

We are excited about these six OMS Australia & New Zealand missionaries completing Pre-Field Training last month!

The name doesn't give away everything we learn about & discuss: cultural values, culture types, spiritual reality, emergency policies & procedures, OMS history, culture shock vs. stress, personal & professional growth, and much more.

Pray for (L to R) Barthez & Vivian as they head to Japan, Imogen preparing for further service in the Asia-Pacific region, Spenser & Karen continuing itinerate ministry in Sri Lanka, and Tiana continuing service in Japan.

It was particularly wonderful to have Imogen join us from One Mission Society New Zealand as it furthers our collaboration with our Kiwi counterparts. 🤝🏻

Special thank you to Light Community Baptist Church for allowing us to use the space to conduct training. 🥳

🥳Congratulations to Diamond Htoo for his departure two weeks ago! Diamond has been working toward serving God in Spain for a few years and we are proud of his dedication and obedience.

THANK YOU to everyone who is part of Diamond's support team, both financially and through prayer.

Diamond will be working at Campamento Peña de Horeb, a ministry of OMS...and we are keen to send more Aussies to join him. Get in touch if you'd like to know more about missions in Spain. 🇪🇸

Ian, our executive director, recently returned from a week in South Korea with OMS Asia-Pacific leaders & coworkers in his capacity as assistant regional director. He also met with Johnny Song, the incoming executive director of OMS South Korea. It was a productive time of working out future OMS plans in the area and collaborating on some challenges.
