When crises occur, local people respond first. Driven by a love for their neighbour, they instinctively reach out to help those whose lives have been devastated.

OM is present in over 147 countries. When disasters happen there is often a local OM office or church partner nearby, with workers who are already immersed in serving surrounding communities; the local language is their mother-tongue, the culture is their own… they know the terrain, the needs, and the complexities of the situation.

Motivated by the love they have received in Jesus, OM workers respond with insight and cultural sensitivity to provide appropriate immediate responses and long-term solutions for those in need.

These workers are Jesus followers who have been living out God’s love in profound ways amidst crises that have hit their homelands. The Mercy Fund helps support those who are there as they serve faithfully.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure God’s tangible love is made known in times of need. Your gifts to the Mercy Appeal meet immediate needs and lead to Kingdom growth.
