Christian Greetings!

It gives me great pleasure to give you an update on the global OCMS community which so many people have been faithfully praying for and supporting.

OCMS welcomed a new Research Induction School cohort in September 2009. The twelve mission leaders travelled from Nigeria, Ghana, India, Korea, the US, Canada, Pakistan and the Philippines to join our community. We're looking forward to welcoming our March 2010 research cohort and are praying that our new scholars will overcome the financial problems, visa issues and the difficulty of creating a ten week study space in their busy lives of mission leadership and responsibility.

The New Year began with the launch of a new Regnum Books International website. For the first time in Regnum's history people can buy books online, direct from OCMS, through a secure paypal service. The new website makes Regnum Books available to more people than ever before! Full information about all our titles can be found online. To celebrate the launch we're currently offering all publications at a discounted rate with free shipping.

Prayers

As friends of OCMS, I would like to ask you to help us by praying for the following needs.

• For the safe arrival of our March Induction School Scholars
• For our initiative to build relationships with 50 new mission partners who would be willing to commit to making a gift of £30 per month
• For the library extension project which will provide us with urgently needed study and storage space.
• For the Holistic Mission Conference which OCMS is hosting on June the 11th as part of the Edinburgh 2010 events programme
• For this year’s Regnum publications - 2010 is a year of growth for Regnum Books International as we plan to publish 13 new titles, including a number of books in our recently launched Regnum Edinburgh 2010 Series.

My colleagues and I are delighted that so many of our scholars and recent graduates continue to expand and develop their ministries. I am pleased to be able to be able share their good news with you via our OCMS website news, Facebook fan page, and Twitter feed. We update all our online sites regularly and we hope you will enjoy being able to follow our work in this way.

I'd like to take this opportunity to extend our warm welcome to all those who are shaping the future of global Christianity. Come and join us. Our doors are open for you to enter the wide world of God’s mission!

Yours in Christ,

Wonsuk Ma

Executive Director, OCMS
