May 2026

Leaving university or college and stepping into the world of work is both daunting and exciting. As a Christian, it's important to keep your focus on what matters and not get too wrapped up in personal ambition and finances. This article from the On Mission website highlights two important things that can help you thorough this transition.

TCK Hub

Although not specifically just for Christians, this is a new, large directory of Third Culture Kid resources — for TCKs, parents, adult TCKs, and the professionals who support them.

Two Cultures, One Heart

Cross-cultural marriages face many complications, with each spouse bringing unique worldviews, experiences and expectations. But you can overcome the challenges and live out God's plan for a healthy, respectful marriage that embraces the best of both of your cultures. This course will help you prepare.

Caring Well Post-Field

In this article, Peter Brock helps us think about what everyone can do to help mission workers when they return from overseas assignments. This is a crucial time where churches and individual supporters can make a huge difference to that transition time.

Navigating the Re-entry Journey

Navigating the Re-entry Journey is a compassionate and practical guide for global workers and those who care for them. Through a trauma-informed approach, Shonna Ingram outlines four key phases of re-entry and the emotional landscape of each. She then offers tools for churches, organizations, and friends to provide meaningful support.

The Sprint to the Finish

The Sprint to the Finish, subtitled The Global Push to Complete the Great Commission in This Generation, is a new book by Douglas Cobb that outlines the most important thing happening in the world today ... the push to "make disciples of every nation". The book details inspiring stories of transformed lives in remote regions, highlights the strategic role of indigenous missionaries, and explores the biblical significance of completing the Great Commission.

Holidays 2026

In January, many people's thoughts turn to holidays. If you're in mission or ministry, you're probably looking for a holiday that's both affordable and conducive to Christians. OSCAR has a list of such locations in the UK for you.

New Year, New Career?

Whether you're looking for a new career in Christian or mission work, or looking to change roles within the Christian sector, OSCAR has it all. We list more jobs for more organisations than any other Christian website in the UK. That's why OSCAR should be your starting place for your search. You can also subscribe to our daily or weekly alerts (Saved Search) for the latest job adverts.

Advertising and Packages in 2026

There's a slight increase in some of our charges for the New Year. Salaried jobs cost £10 more plus Gold and Platinum packages are up by around 5%. We reckon we are still the best value in the UK Christian sector for advertising jobs, by quite a way. Why not try us and see for yourself?
