OM Relief and Development is the relief arm of the organisation OM Australia. We are committed to providing tangible aid and ministering to people in need.
Founded in 1957, OM (Operation Mobilisation) pioneers and leads initiatives to redeem lives, rebuild communities and restore hope in over 120 countries. OM now has more than 4000 workers from over 100 countries serving around the world. This global vision is expanded by the international ministry of OM’s three ships. OM’s aim is to transform lives and communities through the Christian message and operates in partnership with local churches and agencies.
A Holistic Approach
We believe the Christian message addresses physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Our work is therefore ‘holistic’ in character and brings hope for today as well as for the future.
OM Australia is the national branch of OM. We seek to expand the mission vision of the local church by assisting Christians to get involved in missions at a partnership level and any way possible. We recruit, equip and send God's people, in partnership with the church, to share the love of Jesus with the world. We are involved in church planting, discipling, literature distribution, major literature projects and aid and development.
Our coworker in the Education Partnership programme is Operation Mercy Charitable Company (OMCC) which is a registered charity in India and has over 2000 full time staff.
In 2001 representatives from OMCC and the All India Christian Council (AICC) met with leaders from the Dalit community. In response to the cry for help from the Dalit leaders to provide education for their children. AICC members pledged to provide 1000 schools for Dalit children throughout India.
Our Pledge
OMCC has pledged to provide 100 of these schools and the transformation has already begun. At present we have 67 schools up and running and our priority is to ensure each child who starts school can complete their education, four of which have been directly funded by OM Australia.
