A young man once unreached is now training to bring the gospel to villages like his own Click to watch an inspiring message from Abraham himself. Abraham grew up Muslim in a remote village in Ghana —a place where he had never heard the name of Jesus. That all changed one night when the OneWay Africa team arrived on motorbikes to share the gospel through the Jesus Film. As Abraham watched the story of Christ unfold, he was struck to the heart. That night, he surrendered his l

Activate world-changing prayer through young leaders Lydia Williams knows the power of prayer firsthand after God carried her through a life-altering medical crisis. Now on the OneWay team, she helps mobilize believers around the world to do the same. Below, she shares her story in her own words. — Have you ever had a clear sense that your life is different because of something someone did?  I have.

Five surrender to Christ as a young evangelist goes where few dare In Nigeria, Fulani extremists have carried out brutal killings and relentless persecution against Christians. Many now see the Fulani as one of the hardest people on earth to reach with the gospel. But God is reaching  feared people groups like this one through willing believers. Fulani are nomadic and have communities throughout all of Africa. Richard, a young OneWay missionary, courageously approached a grou

Prayer awakens a young heart The girl pictured is a close friend of Sarah, whose story follows OneWay’s Prayercast —a ministry fueling world-changing prayer through powerful videos and guided prayer challenges—received a heartfelt message from a 12-year-old girl with a heart for missions. Sarah's story reminds us why we at OneWay are so passionate about activating the next generation to love and care for the lost. Read her story below to see how last year's Ramadan Prayer Ch

Ruthie gave her life to Christ at 13 —and by 14, she sensed a clear call to become a missionary. That calling deepened as she spent nine months on the mission field, and then trained in writing, editing, and design at the Moody Bible Institute. But it was last summer during her internship with OneWay that all these things converged. “The most influential factor in my education was my internship with OneWay,” Ruthie reflects. It was the first time she saw the eternal impact of

This summer, God is raising up a generation of young adults—on both sides of the globe—to carry His gospel to the nations. In Aurora, Illinois, 18 interns are serving with OneWay, while in Ghana, 30 students are being trained through our Livingstone School of Missions (LSM) to take the gospel to the unreached. Though thousands of miles apart, their callings are deeply connected. In the U.S., our interns are using their gifts to create media, mobilize global prayer, and do out

Former OneWay interns encourage students at Moody Bible Institute to apply for a 2025 summer internship A former OneWay intern shares why she said "yes" to an internship — and eventually joined our staff full time! You know those people who stand recruiting behind tables, trying to get you to sign up for something? I usually avoid them. My go-to strategy? Keep my head down or suddenly find something fascinating on the other side of the room. That was my plan — until one fatef

Can digital evangelism and prayer make a difference in "closed" countries? These interns found out. Imagine sharing the gospel with people in a closed country or getting millions to pray for them without ever setting foot there. For Ike Jordan and Andres Gomez, that was their internship experience at OneWay. Before coming to OneWay, Ike and Andres believed that missions was limited to evangelizing overseas. Both were interested in missions but never saw a place for themselves

A personal reflection on global prayer Prayercast's Editor-in-Chief, Suzanne Heegaard, had the honor of representing the ministry at the fourth Lausanne Congress on world missions in South Korea. Here, she reflects on the vital role of global prayer and collaboration in missions: What a slice of heaven it was to gather with more than 5,000 delegates from 202 nations, all gathered around advancing God’s mission to reach the world. Here are some of the things I’ll remember most

An American reflects on a typical night for a Jesus Film Rider OneWay writer and Africa advocate, Kate Sperry, shares her reflection on seeing OneWay's Jesus Film Riders work up close: A glimmer of light caught my eye as I strained to see through the darkness of an African night . Our fearless guide — a Jesus Film Rider — circled back to our car, and was waving his arms to ensure we could still see him on his motorbike. He led the way to a village eagerly awaiting his arrival

Bible stories equip Africans as Bible teachers Earlier this year, we shared a story about a pastor in Uganda who calls himself “a soldier with no bullets .” Since he learned to keep God's Word in his heart through the Heart Bible for the Nations, Thomas’ church, which sits in a refugee camp, has been transformed. His congregants’ faith was strengthened as they hid the Bible in their hearts. They began to share their faith more often and the church started to grow! Now, Thomas

“God has been using me in a marvelous way,” Mary says. “It’s not only about us because our first purpose for being created is to work for God,” said administration intern Mary Quaye about being at OneWay. “I believe that coming here has given me that peace I need.” Mary grew up in Accra, Ghana. She has worked in ministry for as long as she can remember, whether it was non-profit administration or singing at her church. But ever since she came to the U.S. to get her Master’s d

A Livingstone School of Missions graduate reaches thousands After he accepted Christ as a teenager, Cyrus Nyamenlewoke told God honestly that he was too shy to share the gospel with others. Instead, he planned to work hard, get rich and give money to missions. But God had greater plans. As Cyrus began devouring the Bible, it changed him. “I realized one day I was standing in front of somebody, sharing the gospel,” Cyrus says. He was stunned, but from that point on his passion

A Livingstone School of Missions Story In 2005, Ray Mensah saw a problem. As director of OneWay Africa, he saw this problem hindering the work and he knew he had to do something about it. It wasn’t a new problem. In fact, Jesus had identified it more than 2,000 years ago, but it was still a critical issue: lots of reachable people but not enough people working to reach them (see Mt. 9:37). In his work with young adult believers in particular, Ray saw that most did not grasp t
