Singapore
Singapore is one of the world’s major commercial hubs but the population also has one of the highest levels of income inequality
Did you know that Singapore, one of the smallest countries in the world, packs a population of over 6 million people into just 287 square miles? Despite its size, the city-state is a global powerhouse–a melting pot of cultures, languages and faiths.
The Church in Singapore is well-resourced and deeply engaged in society. While many congregations focus on local discipleship, there is a growing awareness of the global mission call.
Economically, Singapore is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, with a high standard of living and world-class education. However, beneath the surface of prosperity lies a hidden reality: a large migrant workforce of over 1.5 million workers, many from least-reached people groups from South Asia and other neighboring countries.
In a nation where comfort can easily overshadow the urgency of global missions, Singapore’s Church is being challenged to embrace her calling to the nations by looking beyond her borders and in her own backyard.
Ministry opportunities in Singapore
OM in Singapore was officially registered in 1981, beginning as OM’s Southeast Asia office. With the encouraging state of the Church in Singapore, we have been able to focus our efforts on mobilizing and equipping local Jesus followers for God’s global mission. Partnerships with local churches and mission networks have played an integral role in these efforts.
God has strategically placed our office in Geylang, a red-light district in Singapore. Since 2015, OM Singapore’s local ministry team has been sharing God’s love with the many migrant construction workers and sex workers from least-reached places who work and reside in this area.
Thank You, Lord, for Singapore, a young, but strong country. Thank You for its growing church, enthusiastic world mission activity and the responsiveness of the educated to the Good News. We pray that the church will reach out to the poor and marginalized; let them speak Your truth into lives affected by violence, divorce, depression or poverty and transform Singapore into the beautiful nation You want it to be.
