OAC Rwanda
OAC now covers the breadth of Africa, from Kenya in the east, to the Congo in the west, via Uganda and Rwanda! After several years of ministry trips by our former President, Robert Siakimotu, OAC now has an evangelist in Rwanda and is now fully recognised by the authorities. The official government Gazette published the recognition of the organisation in September, 2019. Jean (i.e. John in French) is the evangelist, and he is married...
OAC Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is wide open to the ministry of OAC. David Wilson has found an excellent man in ‘Fred’, otherwise known as Nvunyinka Ngirabakunzi Freud, who has now been trained and equipped and is taking responsibility for the establishment of the work in this enormous country. Famous for its mines, wildlife and warfare, once a colony of Belgium, later called Zaire, the Congo has recently returned to...
OAC Australia

Tourists climb the trail to visit Machu Picchu. The capital, Lima, is sadly famous for its slums. OAC Peru David Wilson met...
OAC Paraguay
Located between Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina, this landlocked nation founded by Jesuits, and with a current population of over 6 million, while over 60% live in and around the capital, Asunción, others are sparsely spread across the Chaco region. In addition to Spanish, 90% of the population speak Guaraní, the majority indigenous language. A military dictatorship was thrown out in 1989 and Paraguay became a democracy. Religious...
