A Mission ONE partnership begins with a relationship. Before a new ministry joins our network, we want to know the people behind it. How do they serve? How are they developing local leaders? What does ministry look like in their community? Most importantly, do we share a vision for seeing the Gospel reach people who…
What does it take to serve faithfully for more than 30 years? Ask the pastors of National Evangelical Outreach (NEO) in Kenya. Several began serving in the early 1990s and are still planting churches, discipling believers, mentoring pastors, and serving their communities today.

One missionary shared about reaching Muslim communities where being seen openly carrying a Bible could create a barrier before a relationship had even begun. So he memorizes Scripture instead. The Word of God can still go with him, even when the Bible itself cannot be visible…

In Kiryandongo refugee settlement in Uganda, there is a pastor named Thomas. He didn’t begin with chickens. He began with people. Much of his time is spent walking alongside families in the camp.

Across different refugee settlements in Uganda, the situations vary, but some things are the same. The leaders there are already serving. They’re pastoring, discipling, and showing up for people day after day. At the same time, they’re also trying to provide for their own families in places where work is limited and resources don’t always…
