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

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

Streams partners arrested last year for apostasy in Mauritania Twenty-six believers arrested at the end of 2023, many of them graduates from Streams of Living Water’s Tyrannus Missionary School, have been released and returned to their families. But many still face hostility from Muslim family and community members. When a pastor with OneWay’s Streams of Living Water baptized a new believer in Mauritania, someone secretly recorded it, posting the video online. Outraged Musli

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

Activating Egyptian church planters in the Arab world To most of the world, Egypt is a land of history and culture, making it a popular tourist destination. But to Streams of Living Water, Egypt is a “sleeping giant” that can make a tremendous impact toward taking the gospel to the Arab world. OneWay’s Streams ministry is helping to awaken that sleeping giant with its annual Mobilization Conference. More than 500 believers gathered in late August for the conference, including

The Livingstone School of Missions celebrates a “first” graduating class OneWay Africa’s year-long Livingstone School of Missions celebrated its first graduating class of 12 students this month. Launched in 2022, this one-year intensive discipleship training is an expanded version of the school’s month-long program, which includes courses on subjects like church planting, the theology of missions, support raising and language learning. Over the past year, these students spent

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

More workers prepared for ministry in the Middle East, North Africa region Missionaries are being mobilized, trained and deployed on the field into some of the hardest to reach people groups in the Middle East and North Africa. Streams of Living Water’s Impact Schools, our missionary training schools for Egyptians, run for 10 months, with students attending one weekend a month and doing research, field trips and lots of reading in between. Those commissioned for ministry are

New schools train missionaries in 12 countries By the end of 2022, 12 Tyrannus Missionary Schools will have trained nearly 230 missionaries to share God’s Word in some of the most unevangelized parts of the Arab world. Many of these unreached areas are rife with persecution, and the newly trained evangelists must be willing to risk their lives for the sake of the gospel. Despite this risk, when graduates reach the field, stories pour in of miraculous healings and lives being
