OSCAR

UK

OSCAR is mostly, but not exclusively, aimed at UK Christians, whether they are based in the UK or around the world. More specifically, OSCAR is useful for:

  • Christian and mission workers on the frontline.
  • Christians open to the possibility of serving God in mission or ministry.
  • Christian and mission workers recently returned from their place of work.
  • Supporters of Christian and mission workers and mission in general.
  • Non-UK Christians coming to the UK as Christian workers.
  • Anyone responsible for 'resourcing' any of the above.

If your work or interest falls into one or more of these categories, OSCAR is designed to take the 'leg work' out of finding related information. It helps you locate the organisations, services and resources you need and puts you in complete control of managing your own situation, whether you're a frontline worker, supporter or enquirer. This unique 'portal' is designed to empower you and save you much time, energy and money!

Alongside our online services, OSCAR also provides various training and exhibition services.
