Many people who volunteer for Christian work overseas lack the support they need to carry out their work effectively. At any one time, there are between 5,000 and 8,000 people engaged in this type of work and a large proportion of these work in remote and isolated locations with little help from outside their situation.

OSCAR is a support network which provides information, advice and resources for anyone involved in Christian work overseas. We have a regular user base of around 10,000 people per month and maintain a support service by Web and email 24/7. Having a dedicated, full-time director is crucial to the continuation of our services.
