United Kingdom
Once known as the home of missions, the diverse United Kingdom is in desperate need of a spiritual revival itself
The United Kingdom is a multicultural nation rich in history. Despite a long tradition of Christianity, today’s church is experiencing decline as the nation is enveloped by secularism.
The United Kingdom is made up of four countries – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK is densely populated, and the population total has now reached over 60 million people. The UK has a long tradition of Christianity but today the church is in decline.
The UK has many immigrants from all over the world including thousands of Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists. OM’s ministry centers in Birmingham and London are committed to ensuring the UK Church can be increasingly found working at the heart of diverse communities.
Specialist catalytic ministries work among specific people groups. The Kids ‘n’ Things team present entertaining programs with a clear gospel message in schools and churches, reaching out to primary–age children. Other teams work with the least reached people groups that reside in the UK, such as Muslim, Chinese and Turkish Ministries.
Throughout the year, OM in the United Kingdom offers short-term mission experiences for individuals and groups, partnering with different churches across the UK for outreaches at Easter, summer and over the new year.
Thank You for the countries forming the United Kingdom, with the special, often wild beauty that only islands have. Thank You for the many different ethnic groups in the UK. We pray that tensions between these will disappear in Your name, that the dying church will awake and declare You are its King, and that Your Spirit will speak hope into the social, emotional and psychological need. Let this kingdom become Yours in every aspect of life.
