Our Mission and vision 

Our mission is to partner with the  Global church in making communities more like the Kingdom of God. We envision a world where every community is transformed for the glory of God and the honor of all peoples.

Through Partnership

Mission ONE is a global team of local leaders serving in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Our partners support the expression of the local church in their communities.

In Relationship

We have spent over 30 years developing deep relationships of trust with our local partners by listening to and learning from them as they share the love of God with their communities.  

We have used what we’ve learned to develop resources to empower our partners within their own ministry contexts, and to train leaders in the West as we engage cross-cultural missions. 

The Beauty of Partnership

Our widely-respected leadership course on cross-cultural partnerships has now been adapted from a study guide into this immersive digital course!

"I am Deeply impressed with how Mission ONE supports God’s mission around the world. First of all by listening to the local Christian leaders who know their context much better then we do, and then bringing much needed support, working together in effective ministry. This sensitive and thoughtful ministry posture is very much needed in missionary work today. That is why I am very happy to support this Kingdom work."
