The Dignity of Work
Breaking Cycles of Poverty
Strengthening Families
Communities Transformed
“A livelihood program, like what we did with the Cave People and Musahar Community, restores hope because it provides them with jobs and a way to provide for their families. This type of project has the potential to transform entire communities from the inside out.” –Bikonzi Moise, M1 Programs Manager
The Gospel: The True Source of Transformation
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 efforts after devastating floods left families homeless, hungry, and in need of urgent care. These ministry leaders are not only delivering food, medical aid, and essential supplies, but they are also offering hope, prayer, and the love of Christ to those who have lost everything.
Massive floods destroyed homes and ruined belongings. Children’s school supplies are soaked and useless. Contaminated water is making people sick. For those in slums and low-lying areas, the situation is even worse—their homes are swallowed by floodwaters, and they have nowhere to turn.
This was historic—these rural villages have never seen such devastation from a flood. Entire communities are struggling to recover, and the need for relief is urgent.
But hope is not lost.
Why Your Help Matters
Pastor KP, a local missionary in India, tirelessly served flood victims who were starving. He already provided food for 3,000 people, but the resources have run out. As he provided food and relief supplies, he also took the opportunity to share the hope of the gospel. Now, the need remains immense—both for practical aid and the message of God’s love.
The need is urgent, and we cannot stand by while families suffer. Our goal is to raise $40,000 by February 28th to provide immediate relief: food, medical supplies, clothing, and shelter.
The flood victims lost everything they owned overnight. Without help, their recovery will be impossible. But with your support, we can change that. Together, we can ensure these families not only survive, but begin to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
How You Can Make a Difference
The funds raised will go directly to lifesaving resources for flood-affected families:
- Food to ease hunger
- Medical supplies to treat illnesses
- Clothing and resources to rebuild homes
Your generosity can be the difference between despair and hope.
Act Now
The people of India need us. They need you. Your support directly helps families recover from this devastating disaster. This is our opportunity to show up, act boldly, and share the love of Christ in a tangible way.
Mission ONE is uniquely positioned to stand with communities both in everyday ministry and in moments of crisis. By supporting this relief effort, lives can be sustained today—and transformed for eternity.
Be the hope they’re praying for. Give now to support flood relief in India.
Join Us in Prayer and Action
In addition to giving, we ask you to pray for the people of India. Pray for their safety, strength, and resilience as they navigate this difficult time. Pray for the flood victims to find hope and restoration through the love of Christ. Lift up the local ministry leaders working tirelessly to bring aid and comfort to those in need.
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 the lives of those they serve.
Practical Training for Real Impact
The local Bible College provides hands-on training in Bible study, discipleship, and community development. Students are taught not just to preach but to meet people where they are, addressing both their spiritual and practical needs to bring hope and transformation to villages where resources are scarce and the gospel has yet to be heard.
Inspiring Stories of Ministry
Hasbas discovered his passion for ministry while studying at the local Bible College. With a background in Civil Engineering, he answered God’s call to equip himself further with a Master of Divinity. After graduation, Hasbas and his wife moved to the Middle East to minister to Indian construction workers. They started by inviting workers to their home for weekly meals, offering friendship and support. As relationships deepened, Hasbas shared the gospel, and today, 42 men are gathering to learn about Christ. Seven have already been baptized. Praise God for the incredible impact of this ministry!
Rao’s journey began when he joined the local Bible College’s Non-formal Training Program. With a vision to reach unreached villages, he committed to planting one mother church and five daughter churches in seven years. God multiplied his efforts, and by the end of his mission, he had established 10 churches. Rao is now training 60 pastors in his district, equipping them to disciple others and reach their entire state for Christ. This is the power of developing transformational leaders who are dedicated to advancing God’s Kingdom.
Building for the Future
The new Education Center at the local Bible College is making progress. The foundation has been completed, and construction is moving forward. Once finished, this center will train even more leaders to serve communities in need and share the love of Christ. Please pray for continued safety, good weather, and swift progress to complete this project.
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 light of the gospel to those who have never heard the name of Jesus.
Her story left us deeply inspired. As she recounted the challenges and triumphs of her mission, it was evident that her faith and obedience to God’s call have significantly impacted the lives of those she serves.
Answering God’s Call to a Challenging Mission
Aminah has been serving the Malay tribe for over a decade. Her journey into missions began with a divine call she couldn’t ignore. The idea of moving to a region with unclean water and significant challenges felt overwhelming. But in her hesitation, she heard God’s voice clearly: “Give these people a chance to know Me before they perish.”
Those words changed everything. With courage and faith, Aminah answered God’s call and stepped into one of the most difficult mission fields. Over the years, 6 house churches has been established, and her ministry has brought light and transformation to the lives of those she serves.
Building Relationships and Meeting Practical Needs
Aminah’s ministry thrives on relationships and practical outreach. She created a micro-business platform by tutoring children aged 5 to 13, enabling her to connect with families and share the gospel in meaningful ways.
Understanding the community’s emotional and mental health struggles, Aminah also established a halfway house to support individuals dealing with stress and anxiety. Through these initiatives, she has built trust, met critical needs, and paved the way for deeper conversations about the gospel.
Witnessing Miracles in Ministry
As Aminah ministers to the sick and dying, she has witnessed God’s miraculous work firsthand. From healing to renewed hope, these moments remind her of the importance of her mission.
Her favorite scripture, Matthew 28:19-20, serves as her guiding light:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
For Aminah, this passage is more than a command—it is a promise that sustains her through the challenges of ministry.
The Impact of Missions in Indonesia
Aminah’s journey is just one example of how missionaries across Indonesia are bringing the hope of the gospel to places where it has never been heard, transforming lives and communities to look more like the Kingdom of God.
As we anticipate the continued impact of missionaries in Indonesia, we invite you to join us in prayer. Pray for Aminah and the 55 missionaries faithfully serving the unreached. Together, we can make disciples of all nations, bringing the hope of Jesus to even the most remote parts of the world.
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 are deeply grateful to be partnering with a local ministry in Indonesia that is committed to reaching these unreached groups. Together, we are equipping and supporting 55 missionaries who are working to make disciples and transform their communities to look more like the Kingdom of God.
Equipping Missionaries for Effective Ministry
Reaching the unreached in Indonesia requires intentional preparation and a holistic approach to missions. Each missionary undergoes a comprehensive six-month training program, consisting of four months of on-campus instruction followed by two months of practical fieldwork.
This training equips missionaries with skills to engage in “business as mission” or “profession as mission,” enabling them to connect with communities through meaningful work. By starting micro-businesses, providing farming resources, or offering educational services, missionaries meet tangible needs while building relationships that open doors for sharing the gospel.
The missionaries also participate in annual training sessions designed to evaluate their progress, provide ongoing equipping, and refresh their spiritual commitment. Last summer, Olivia, Mission ONE President, and Bikonzi, Mission ONE Programs Manager, had the privilege of attending this training in Indonesia. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with the missionaries, hear their stories, and witness the impact of their ministry firsthand.
Transforming Communities Through Relationships
Once in the field, the missionaries focus on building trust and forging deep connections within the communities they serve. Whether mentoring youth, offering practical skills like farming, or running small businesses, they embody the gospel in both word and deed.
This relational approach is vital in villages where trust is built over time. By addressing practical needs and living as Christ’s hands and feet, missionaries lay the foundation for lasting spiritual transformation in these communities.
Partnering to Reach the Unreached
The work in Indonesia is a powerful testament to God’s faithfulness. Through the dedication of these 55 missionaries, the gospel is reaching some of the most spiritually neglected areas, transforming lives and communities in profound ways.
Looking ahead, we are filled with hope and excitement for how God is using this ministry to expand into new regions and reach even more unreached people groups.
We invite you to continue praying for these missionaries—that they may stand firm in the face of challenges and walk in obedience as they minister to the unreached, bringing the light of Christ to those who need it most.

TRAINING
We develop curriculum and train leaders in new ways that are more relevant to peoples that have historically been difficult to reach with the gospel. Learning to teach the Bible through a different cultural lens gives people ownership of the gospel, rather than feeling like it's just a story from another culture.
Our staff of writers and theologians have developed incredible resources for both our partners, their work, and change agents in the US. Check out the many books and training resources available.
