More Like the Kingdom

Earlier this spring, Mission ONE Founder, Bob Schindler, and his wife, Linda, traveled to Kenya to visit our partners and local missionaries there. Part of their time was spent in Pokot—a remote district where God has been doing something remarkable since we partnered with Willy and the local community in 2000. Over the past several…

When most people think about the life of a missionary, they often picture someone preaching or planting churches. And while that’s true, the reality is far more hands-on. Take Pastor Thomas, for example. He’s a local missionary serving in a rural community in East Africa, and his daily routine is anything but ordinary. His work…

It’s easy to overlook what $5 can do. Maybe it’s your morning coffee, a snack, or a forgotten subscription. But when placed in the hands of a local missionary, $5 a day becomes a powerful tool in the hands of God—fueling Kingdom work, restoring broken communities, and carrying the message of the resurrection to places…

The Sewing Ministry in Kipkaren, Eldoret is more than a skills program—it’s a chance for women to rebuild their lives. Many have faced hardship, rejection, and loss, but through this ministry, they are stepping into hope and opportunity. Here, they are not just learning to sew; they are finding purpose, healing, and a new beginning….

Last summer, through the 31K in 31 Days campaign, we raised the funds needed to launch the Sewing Ministry in Eldoret, Kenya. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we were able to complete the building, secure materials, and officially start the program.

At Mission ONE, our ministry is built on long-term solutions—working alongside local ministry leaders to address poverty and spiritual darkness in their communities. But when disaster strikes, these same faithful leaders are best positioned to respond immediately—because they are already there, serving, knowing the needs firsthand. Right now, in India, local pastors are leading relief…

In India, local pastors and missionaries play a critical role in bringing hope and transformation. Our local ministry leader’s Bible college is equipping their students to plant churches, share the gospel, and address the greatest needs of their communities. Each year, this training sends out leaders who are prepared to make a lasting impact in…

In October, we had the privilege of meeting Aminah during our conference in Thailand. Surrounded by missionaries from Africa and Asia, Aminah shared her journey of serving the Malay tribe in remote Indonesia. For over a decade, she has dedicated her life to reaching one of Indonesia’s most neglected and unreached tribes, bringing the transformative…

Indonesia, an archipelago of over 17,000 islands, is a nation of immense cultural diversity and deep spiritual need. It is home to more than 786 distinct people groups, 233 of which remain unreached. Nearly 86% of the population identifies as Muslim, and many communities have yet to encounter the transformative power of the gospel. We…

Across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, local churches are bringing life-changing hope to their communities, meeting both spiritual and physical needs.

Through these local churches and the…
