Why OSCAR could be just the job

Why OSCAR could be just the job

OSCAR, the One Stop Centre for Advice and Resources, will exhibit again at CRE 25.

‘If you’re involved or interested in Christian or mission work, in the UK or overseas, OSCAR is your gateway to useful, related opportunities, information, advice and resources,’ explains its founder Mike Frith, who set up OSCAR 25 years ago.

In the late 80s and 90s MIke worked as a pilot and engineer with Mission Aviation Fellowship in Africa and discovered that many problems they faced could be solved by either being better informed or better connected.

OSCAR’s website has received five million visits, with 16 million pages viewed and 1,700 people attending training courses. The company has advertised 21,000 jobs or opportunities for service – and there will once again be a Jobs Board at CRE 25.

‘Some of the jobs listed are not specifically aimed at Christians but have something of interest to people involved in mission or ministry,’ explained Mike. ‘Where possible, we provide brief details about the background and aims of each organisation, service or resource. As a charity, we are a non-profit organisation with the few “paid for” services we offer helping us provide the rest of our services free of charge.’

Anyone who feels a call to mission work, or senses it is time to look for fresh working opportunities, should make a beeline for the OSCAR stand.
