OSMTH er en internationalt meget aktiv organisation, der konstant via diplomatiske kontakter forsøger at påvirke udviklingen i verdenens brændpunkter, i retningen af en kristen forståelse og fred.

Det er en indsats medlemmer ofte dagligt arbejder med i de områder, hvor krisen er fysisk manifesteret i tortur og forfølgelse, som f.eks. i Pakistan, hvor kristne menigheder nærmest konstant er under angreb eller i Jerusalem, hvor kristne står midt i en religionskrig om det for mange religioner hellige område.

Men vi er også aktive i diplomatiet for at bedre forholdene i verdenen tættere på os, som f.eks. i Europa.  OSMTH er medlem af den gruppe, der udgør platformen for drøftelser og indrapportering af forholdene for de fundamentale rettigheder indenfor EUs område.
