About OMS International
OMS HISTORY:OMS was established in 1901 in Japan by Charles & Lettie Cowman,E.A. Kilbourne, and Juji Nakada. Originally we were known as ‘The Oriental Missionary Society’(OMS), with our work confined to the Orient. After World War II thework and ministries of OMS expanded beyond Asia into other countries onfive continents. This necessitated a name-change to simply, OMS International,as we are known today. As a global mission we have more than 400missionaries serving in 20 countries plus associate workers andministries in 23 additional nations. Missionaries serving under theauspices of OMS are from six 'International Sending Countries’ (ISC).

OMS is committed to the principle that ‘the sons and daughters of a nation will best win that nation for Christ.’.. OMS has therefore always sought to fulfil the Great Commission through a distinct four-fold ministry strategy:
1) direct evangelism
2) establishing believers into self-governing, self-propagating and self-supporting national churches
3) discipling and training national workers as God calls them into ministry, and
4) partnering with national churches and other organizations in ‘reaching the nations for Christ.’
