Overseas Ministry Fund

The Archbishop’s Overseas Ministry Fund (AOMF) was established in 2001 to encourage the development of Anglican ministries overseas and to provide financial support for this training and related materials and equipment.

The main objective of AOMF is to train men and women for ministry in their local Anglican churches. Churches in Africa are growing and leaders desperately need and want training. In most cases neither the church nor the individuals themselves have the resources to pay for training or the means of support while they are in training.
