Operation Mobilisation launches AIDS Project in South Africa

Operation Mobilisation (OM) which works in more than 80 countries, motivating and preparing people to share God's love and bring a message of hope to the people of the world is launching an AIDS project called 'OM HOPE' in South Africa. Working in the front line of the pandemic, the organisation will aim to train volunteers and church leaders to participate in the fight, as well as teach the youth about moral values.

OM seeks to demonstrate and proclaim the love of God in every situation adapting to the local culture and situation. In addition wherever it is possible, OM works in partnership with local churches, supporting local believers and tries to find the best way to plant churches. OM targets its efforts particularly in areas of the world such as the Middle East, South and Central Asia and Europe where Christ is not known.

Through literature, friendship, Bible studies, the creative arts, videos and cassette tapes, correspondence courses, relief and development work and much more, OM has asserted its aim to testify how lives have changed through Christ and how people can meet Jesus.

There are three main pillars of the OM project:

1. The training of OM personnel – both those in South Africa and those working in other fields, and the training of volunteers and church leaders.

2. Mobilising the church to be involved in fighting this pandemic and mobilising the youth to have and promote moral values.

3. Partnering with like-minded ministries to provide placements for short-term volunteers, practical exposure for those doing HIV/AIDS training and longer-term HIV/AIDS ministry opportunities.


So far there are over 200 South Africans that serve with OM around the globe. Potential workers for OM need to complete a six month training and exposure program before going out to the mission field to prepare them extensively to work effectively.

OM indicate that there is so much poverty, drugs and alcohol abuse and other social challenges across the globe, and the organisation asks for prayers as an essential element for the communities where the teams are going to work.
