From Ghana to Chicago, God is using you to activate young adults for the Kingdom Have you been praying that God will send workers into the harvest? Have you wondered who is going to spread the gospel to the unreached? Meet the 30 students who were part of the most recent class of the one-month Livingstone School of Missions (LSM) in Ghana. Across the ocean, 21 young adults have also been training for Kingdom work as summer interns at OneWay’s U.S. headquarters in Aurora, IL.

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

Missionary school trains Africans to reach unreached Harriet was working as a typist, but her passion for missions and lost souls left her wanting more for her life in West Africa. When she heard about OneWay Africa’s Livingstone School of Missions, she decided to enroll in the program for young adults with a passion to advance the gospel. As part of her one-year training, she served a predominantly animistic community in a remote part of North Ghana. Her journey to this unre

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

OneWay Africa to raise gospel workers to cross borders After completing a three-month course in missions, six students have chosen to continue with OneWay Africa’s year-long Livingstone School of Missions program by entering the mission field for the next six months. Some will serve in their home countries, while others might take the gospel to specific unreached people groups. They will raise their own support and seek to confirm God’s calling on their lives, all while activ

Africa and U.S. teams train young people for ministry OneWay’s two main ministry centers in the Chicago area and Accra, Ghana are 6,000 miles apart, but our teams on both sides of the world are focused this month on activating young adults into ministry. Thirty students from 10 African countries began the next season of theological training and practical field experience at OneWay’s Livingstone School of Missions in Ghana. At the same time, 25 young adults have moved in for t

Dozens accept Christ at health outreach ACCRA, GHANA — In recent years, many people from northern Ghana have migrated to the southern, urban areas in search of work. In 2022, the OneWay Africa team launched an urban missions initiative to reach these new residents for Christ, many of whom come from people groups with little to no access to the gospel. OneWay Africa staff and partnering ministries led an all-day medical missions outreach in Accra last month where they offered

Land donation is first step to build Philip Center North The Lord has provided the first step needed to expand OneWay Africa training into a permanent location in northern Ghana. Praise God! Believers in that area — known as the Kombaland — have been hungry for training, but they aren’t able to travel 15 to 18 hours by car or bus to the capital city of Accra to study at the Livingstone School of Missions. The OneWay Africa team often travels to this area, and they have been p
