Jasmine is a Canadian currently based in the Philippines, where she is a creation care advocate with OMF International (www.omf.org). Her work involves two roles: raising awareness that caring for creation is part of the Christian response to loving God the Creator, and drawing connections about how creation ultimately points us to the Creator, through engagement with others. She also networks with others who are engaged in different aspects of creation care within the Philippines and beyond. Jasmine serves on the board of Christians in Conservation, an A Rocha International associated project in Manila.
JS In a nutshell, what is OMF International about?
JK OMF seeks to bring the gospel to all the peoples of East Asia and to help foster indigenous biblical church movements. The work is based in the geographic regions of East and Southeast Asia, but also extends among the diaspora of people from these regions. Although many understand OMF as a church planting mission, our work actually ranges across a broad spectrum, including missional business, theological education, medical work and creation care. The diversity in our work is linked to our mission to share the good news of Jesus Christ in all its fullness – which includes not just a concern for people but also other creatures and the very places these people live.
