In every situation OM teams adapt to the local culture and situation, finding the best ways to share Jesus. Through literature, the creative arts, friendship, Bible studies, videos and cassette tapes, correspondence courses, relief and development work, and much, much more; by all means possible we will tell people how our lives have been changed, and how they can meet Jesus.
Wherever possible, Operation Mobilization works in partnership with the local church, encouraging and supporting local believers. Where there is no church, we seek to plant churches.

The Agathos Foundation provides Southern Africa's AIDS orphans and elderly with a familial environment that allows them to achieve healthy, prosperous, and fulfilling lives, by meeting physical, emotional, and spiritual needs critical to their advancement.Agathos will accomplish its mission by building self-dependent villages, typically on or near a profitable farm, where children orphaned by AIDS can be raised, supervised, educated, and provided a moral foundation for life. Children would be placed in these communities alongside grandmothers and young widows who also have been displaced by the pandemic. By becoming self-dependent, subsequent donations can be invested in future orphan village sites. Ultimately, thousands of AIDS orphans, widows, and elderly in Sub-Saharan Africa would find a home and a family.
