2025

For 2025, we need to raise S$1,009,838 to fund our ministry and operational expenses. Will you give to the mission and help us minister to the least reached?

Your gift will help us further our cause:

• Mobilise, train and disciple more workers into global missions
• Give Bibles and resources to help new believers grow in their faith
• Share the love and hope of God with the least reached in Singapore: migrant construction workers, streetwalkers and pimps, and the needy
• Raise resources and practical aid to support OM's ministries towards those with little or no access to the gospel
• Support and provide member care for Singaporean workers based in Singapore and all over the world

Six weeks – that was the incredible timeline we were given to prepare for Doulos Hope’s surprise return to our shores in July. But God proved again that nothing is impossible for Him, turning the challenge into His triumph.

Gaining the necessary permissions from the state for an OM ship’s visit to Singapore would minimally require a few months. God miraculously answered our prayers, expediting these processes to grant us the final green light we needed just one week before Doulos Hope's arrival.

Our OM team proceeded with all the plans we had formed by faith. Partnership and collaboration were our key goals, leveraging the ship’s power to catalyse fresh mission movements in the local Church of every port she visits. 

In a first-time collaboration between OM and LoveSingapore, a unity movement in the national Church, we invited local intercessors on board to pray for Singapore and for the world.

“The experience was wonderful,” said Pastor Ian Toh, Executive Director of LoveSingapore. “Partnership exemplifies the oneness of the Son and the Father, and it is how the gospel can be spread to those who don’t know God yet.”

Over in Madagascar, OM worker Miora fights an uphill battle to rescue vulnerable girls from modern-day slavery. In His divine wisdom, God led OM Singapore to extend friendship and support to our young co-labourer in her time of need.

Madagascar is plagued by poverty and social injustice. 80% of the island’s 30 million inhabitants live under the poverty line, which perpetuates extreme levels of child vulnerability (Source: World Bank).  

In a preventative effort against abuse, forced labour, child marriages and sex tourism, 30-year-old Miora leads OM’s Perla Project to help young girls stay in school and equip them with simple business skills to support themselves and their families. The project also rescues and rehabilitates victims trapped in these cycles of injustice. Through this catalytic ministry, Miora and her team ultimately aim to bring deeper community transformation through the hope of Jesus.

Displaying much potential, Miora was enrolled in OM’s cross-cultural leadership development programme with a Field Exposure component. When she requested to shadow an OM field with a vastly different profile than her own, OM Singapore sponsored Miora to spend a few weeks with us.

While in Singapore, she learned from our Executive Director Phillip and observed our local ministry, which helped her understand more about team leadership and discover untapped avenues for reaching the vulnerable back in Madagascar.

A few months later, God suddenly prompted OM Singapore to send a financial gift to Miora. It turned out to be an answer to her prayers – she was dealing with health complications, and it was more than enough to fund her treatment. With the excess, Miora started rearing some sheep to supplement her income, which gave her more experience in mentoring girls to run self-sustainable businesses.

“I thank God for His providence! Raising support in Madagascar is challenging because local churches are struggling economically,” Miora shared. “The gift lifted my burden so much.”

Today, Miora presses on to see lives restored in Christ. She is discipling a 19-year-old who is using the Bible to read and write after being rescued from family abuse and witchcraft. Miora is also journeying with a 14-year-old to stay in school and out of an arranged marriage.  

“We believe these young girls are the future,” Miora said. “If we disciple them and bring them to greater heights, it will bring great change to their families, communities and even the country.”  ▪

Against all odds, God is establishing a place of worship for Himself in the unlikeliest of spaces – the doorstep of an unlicensed brothel.

It had been a long season of struggling against intense spiritual warfare in what seemed a difficult outreach in Singapore’s red-light district. However, as our OM team began a weekly prayer walk around the Geylang area, things in the spiritual realm began to shift.

OM worker Ping* came to know Ron*, a hot-tempered, second-generation brothel operator. With her co-workers, Ping slowly built a friendship with him and learned that he had attended a Chinese-speaking church in the past while overseas. He could even quote from Scripture!

In an unexpected revelation, Ron said to Ping one day, “I think your Heavenly Father is trying to reach me through you.” 

Determined to help Ron re-experience the sweetness of Jesus and church life, Ping convinced him to sing a few bilingual worship songs together. To our team’s surprise, this slowly morphed into a monthly worship session which Ron readily hosts in the foyer of his building. 

The little community of worshippers is joined by Ron’s tenant, who has since visited a nearby church with Ping on several occasions. Their hearty voices also captivated three Chinese ladies working for Ron’s brothel on the upper floors. One of them even took pictures of the song lyrics to remember them.

At one point, Ron prompted Ping: “Doesn’t the leader always read and teach a passage after singing songs?”

Ping eagerly jumped at the opportunity. Since then, she has facilitated simple Bible studies during each gathering, inviting Ron and his friends to discover Jesus together.

While the worship sessions are ongoing, our volunteers will engage the other ladies working for Ron on the street, who are more open to converse when their boss’ watchful gaze is lifted.

All these fresh ministry opportunities have restored hope in our team’s hearts.

“When we are at the end of our rope and tell God that we don’t know what to do, He always intervenes to bring fresh breakthroughs for His glory,” Ping said. 

“Everything that has happened is undeniable proof that God can do the impossible.” ▪
