Our Ministry Foundation

One Mission Society was founded on the principle that the most effective way to share Christ is by training a nation’s people to lead and multiply their churches. That principle still fully applies today and is the basis of our dynamic four-fold focus:

Intentional evangelism. We become vessels of Christ, leading people to a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

Church planting. Once people have heard and accepted the Gospel message, it is natural for them to form a church. We encourage, empower and support new believers to form vital, thriving and life-changing churches.

Training Leaders. As people come to faith in Christ and new churches are planted, we want to see these communities of believers continue to grow deeper in their faith. We equip leaders in our training centers and seminaries worldwide so the future leaders of the national churches will be from within that country.

Strategic Partnerships. The first three strategies are all reinforced by the establishment of strategic partnerships. We show the world that Christians are united to spread the Gospel by working together with other mission organizations, ministries and churches in the countries we serve. To date, One Mission Society has more than 100 active, formal partnerships in our ministries.

One Mission Society Mission Statement: By God’s grace, One Mission Society unites, inspires and equips Christians to make disciples of Jesus Christ, multiplying dynamic communities of believers around the world.

Biblical inspiration for our name:

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all" ― Ephesians 4: 1-6 (NIV).
