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

One moment of evangelism changes hundreds of lives in Venezuela For more than 30 years, God has prepared the way for his Word to take root in Venezuela, from the mouth of an American who didn’t speak Spanish to the hearts of more than 600 Venezuelans. The year was 1989. A young Equipping Evangelist (now the leader of OneWay’s Heart Bible for the Nations) had never been overseas before and didn’t speak Spanish but found himself in Venezuela on a trip with his church’s youth g

A little church in Istanbul is filled with Kurdish Syrians. Some lost their homes in bombings, others through mistreatment, and each fled to Turkey seeking asylum. But in Turkey, they found less than open arms. Marginalized and persecuted, they live in constant fear that the police will stop them on the street or break into their churches. Without the proper documents, they will be deported back to Syria. This church’s fear was realized just before Christmas 2023 when police

Heart Bible method spreading around the world Using a Bible story and three simple questions, OneWay’s Equipping Evangelist led three Muslim sisters to Christ. He has used that method many times with the same powerful result, and it has sparked a Bible storytelling movement, Heart Bible for the Nations, around the world. The sisters were acting as translators at the baptism of six believers in a refugee camp for those fleeing from ISIS. “I know you still feel confused and dou

OneWay’s Gospel Advance partners with OneWay Africa He may be called a “walking Bible,” but this month, OneWay’s JP Lindsey rode on a motorbike with a Jesus Film Rider to bring the Word of God to northern Ghana. This was the continuation of a partnership between OneWay’s Gospel Advance and OneWay Africa. JP Lindsey also took students with OneWay Africa’s Livingstone School of Missions to do outreach in the marketplace of Accra. A group of four students approached a man who sa

Heart Bible for the Nations flourishes in Venezuela In the Andes Mountains of Venezuela, a church is full of “walking Bibles,” where believers as young as five years old are able to confidently tell complete Bible stories. OneWay’s Gospel Advance team calls it “a Heart Bible for the Nations Church,” and Heart Bible for the Nations flourishes there in ways that the team hopes to replicate around the world. Amidst crippling inflation, food shortages and blackouts, La Iglesia Mo

Heart Bible for the Nations in action While he was visiting Kurdistan, JP Lindsey met a young refugee who had never heard the gospel before. The woman, an 18-year-old soccer player, had joined the Kurdish paramilitary because of the oppression she faced as a Kurdish woman who believed in the “wrong kind” of Islam. Before talking to JP, she didn’t know anything about Jesus. All she knew was that she didn’t like religion. “Well, you're in luck,” JP told her, “because Jesus didn

God works despite closed doors for OneWay missionary Five months after losing his wife and ministry partner to cancer, OneWay missionary JP Lindsey returned to Kurdistan, the country where he and Sarah dreamed of serving together. Not only does JP’s life look different without his wife, but the area where they planned to serve together has been decimated. While JP and Sarah fought cancer in the U.S., Iran launched drone attacks on Kurdish refugees. The refugees whom Sarah a

Equipping Iranians with Bible training In a small Middle Eastern country, OneWay team members recently gathered in secret with 15 Iranian believers to teach them a new way to hide the Scripture in their heart so they could share their faith without access to a physical Bible. These Iranians, who live under the threat of arrest or even execution for professing Christ as Savior, owning a Bible or sharing their faith, traveled across the border for a rare in-person gathering whe
