mission resource stand

OSCAR has put together a resource stand with the aim of providing information for those interested or involved in mission. This stand has appeared at various events and conferences since 2006 (including New Wine). It has proved very popular with delegates. For 2010 we'll be at all New Wine summer conferences and Breakout Youth Conference.

The stand is designed to be part of any event or conference of any organisation or church and provide valuable advice to attendees, whether they are staff, field personnel or individual supporters of the organisation or mission in general.

The main feature of the stand is a series of 24 resource sheets aimed at providing help on various practical aspects of mission. The topics of these sheets are as follows:

  Exploring mission

  1. Practical Guide to Short-term Mission
  2. Mission Organisations
  3. Mission Vacancies

  Doing mission

  1. International Christian Travel
  2. Shipping & Purchasing Items for Overseas
  3. UK Housing for Missionaries
  4. UK Christian Travel
  5. UK Christian Holidays
  6. Personal Support Raising
  7. Christian Finance, Tax & Pension Advice
  8. Insurance
  9. Travel Health for Christians
  10. Mission Training – General
  11. Mission Training – Preparation & Orientation

  3. Praying for Mission

  Informing mission

(see also index sheet)

If you want to provide these sheets on your own display, you may print them yourself (click on each title above to download each sheet in pdf format). Bear in mind that the sheets will be updated at least once every year, so you may need to renew your copies periodically.

We are also willing to come and provide the whole display stand for your event at no cost to you*. When this is the case, we can bring a laptop computer and other display materials to enhance the stand. We can also provide an advisor who can give expert advice on any aspect of resourcing mission to your delegates or event visitors. If you would like an introductory letter about the stand to circulate around your committee or decision making body, download introletter.pdf

Our whole aim in providing this service is to better resource and equip those who are involved or interested in mission and we would appreciate your cooperation in doing this. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in taking us up on this offer.

(* a contribution towards travel costs would be appreciated)
