Ministry Teams

Operation Mobilization India has more than 1,000 Indian men and women devoted to serving Christ in their nation. These national workers serve in unique capacities matching their ministry skills and spiritual calling. There are three main kinds of teams on which OM India workers are serving: Good Shepherd Holistic Ministries Teams, Long Term Disciple Making Teams, and See the Light Field Teams. In addition, OM India’s workers are involved in disaster relief and rehabilitation, literature publishing, prayer networks and educating the Dalits of India.

Operation Mobilization India’s has National Workers from nearly every state of India. Most workers are serving in a cross-cultural capacity, meaning their working state is different from their home state. The workers are from a multitude of family backgrounds and parts of society. OM India also has a good number of women serving as national workers on field teams, long term teams and holistic ministries teams.

Why Indian National Workers?
There are several key reasons to support National Christian Workers:

Sensitivity of the Situation
India has a highly complex web of castes, sub-castes and religious diversity which makes the task of sharing the Good News very difficult. National workers understand this diversity and can be sensitive in a multitude of difficult situations.

Culturally Acceptable
The National Worker shares a similar worldview and set of core personal values that are more clearly understood by other Indians. Thus, National Workers can more quickly and easily develop significant relationships with people of their own land.

Role Models for Indigenous Church Growth
National Workers become excellent role models for the indigenous churches to train their own people to share God’s love with their own community.
