Without the partnership and prayer of the One Challenge community, we could not do the ministry to which the Lord has called us. As it says in Ecclesiastes 4:12, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Thank you for being a part of the […]

Expanding Reach of Lifeworkx in Southern Africa
The mark of a transformed life is a motivated person, someone who has been profoundly impacted and desire to impact others. This is a cornerstone of what Jesus did in ministry.

The OC Global Alliance … Ten Years Later

Summer Programs – Focusing on the Individual as a Whole
Holistic – what a buzz word! Slap the ‘holistic’ label on something, a business or ministry, and it immediately sounds informed, deep, and connected to the world – real people solving the real problems. Of course, this may or may not end up being true. At One Challenge, we have several holistic ministries that we pray […]
Sometimes we just celebrate – God at work in N. Africa
This is not a One Challenge story. It’s God’s story. It’s Nabil’s story. We simply celebrate and share as members of His kingdom. Nabil’s Story Nabil grew up in a Muslim home in North Africa. His family was devout, practicing their prayer five times a day, fasting during Ramadan each year, and helping the poor. […]

Empowering Global Ministry through MK Education
“Without the work you do – the education and care of our children – we could not do our ministry.” This is a common sentiment shared from parents to teachers at schools for mission kids (MKs) across the world. “Support” ministries often get put in a “second-class” file. On one hand, one might see why; […]
