What is Oikos? Oikos is a Greek word that at its simplest level means "household." But scripture defines Oikos as more than just the people who sleep under your roof at night. Our Oikos is our relational world, the group of people that God has strategically placed in our lives, that we may proclaim Jesus to those who don't know Him and make disciples of those who do.

Oi! is a safety net partner committed to alleviating poverty, empowering people, and healing broken relationships in vulnerable communities in partnership with you and through the dreams of those who came before us.

*”Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice.“*

— Nelson Mandela

South Africa has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. It remains segregated with a class system that makes it almost impossible to rise above. There are many obstacles. But there is hope because of God's redemptive work.

Oikos INTL is equipping and elevating leaders that are multiplying the Gospel in South Africa as well as other parts of Africa (as individuals return home). These leaders are establishing non-profits that will meet the physical needs as well as the spiritual needs. Strategically, they are in the best position to drive change in their community.

These leaders are the future of Africa. This is Kingdom Building.

We can do this.
We must do this.

*Because of the fall... work is hard, relationships are hard, we have poverty... but there is nothing that our God cannot do or undo. See how God is working through Oi!’s transforming programs.*

*There is hope in tomorrow when we don’t forget those who need our help. Get Involved!*

*You can be a part of poverty alleviation by supporting the architects of the future.*
*GIVE TODAY!*

Nelson Mandela is considered one of the most inspirational persons in modern times; and leaders, like him, inspire the men and women of Oikos all over the world. Mandela possessed an unshakeable belief in the power of empathy, honesty and dialogue to heal the deepest and most intractable wounds for all people, in all places, of all colors and all socio-economic communities.

“Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.”

— Nelson Mandela
