OSM has been providing a unique service since it was founded in 1953 to help raise up the next generation of indigenous missions leaders. It works with international students and visitors to the United States and Canada, partnering with campus ministries, community church groups, student groups and University officials.

I am William T. Bray, the President of Overseas Students Mission and I think there is some mistake in the information available on our mission. We are not located in Colorado Springs but in Charlottesville, Virginia. Perhaps we have been confused with International Students, Inc. which was founded by Bob Finley who is also the founder of Overseas Students Mission. They are located in Colorado Springs and are doing a great job. I am working with GuideStar to get our information correctly listed and complete.

I have been a supporter and partner with CIS,Inc. since it began back in 1969 in Bangkok, Thailand. I have seen it give birth to all kinds of charities, missions and service organizations that have affected the lives of many millions of people. It is a great catalytic organization that helps leaders and organizations do their missions better.
