LADUMA!
If you were in South Africa right now, you would know by now that "Laduma" means, "Yay! We scored a goal!" We hope to be hearing this a lot over the next few weeks, as South Africa welcomes 32 nations from around the world (including Australia) for the soccer world cup. It is all very exciting, and there is a serious buzz in the air.
OM South Africa is hosting a five week outreach for over 100 people coming to South Africa from around the world. Participants will head out in teams to be a part of ministering to both local South Africans and visitors. Some exciting initiatives will include teams working against human trafficking and child prostitution (which are expected to be serious issues here for the next few weeks) and especially for the North Korean soccer team who are also attending the world cup.

Pro-Christo Global Missions began in South Africa a decade ago. From the inception, OM has been very involved. PGM works in 8 African countries with a focus to mobilise the African Church through discipleship and has sent out more than a 100 trained African workers. They have a great passion to see churches planted amongst the least reached.
On January 1, 2009 Pro-Christo Global Missions merged with OM, joining forces to mobilise the Church in Southern Africa to bring the Gospel to the unreached peoples of Southern Africa and the rest of the world. The ministry, head-quartered in Kabwe, Zambia has approximately 130 African missionaries serving in Malawi, Tanzania, Botswana and Zambia.
Under the umbrella of OM’s Emerging Missions Movements Key Focus Area, discussions about partnership between the ministries first began with the vision to train OM participants in discipleship, leadership development and practical ministry followed by service on an OM team in Durban, South Africa. With the addition of Pro Christo, OM in Southern Africa has now grown by 130 workers, and many more exciting missions and training opportunities can be offered in more countries. |
