MISSIONARY TRAINING
OneWay Africa is passionate about multiplying harvest workers among the unreached through powerful training programs. Comprehensive classroom learning is combined with hands-on field experience to see an army of effective African missionaries mobilized. Since 2012, more than 700 young adults from across Africa have been equipped.
Learn more about our life-changing training opportunities offered through the Livingstone School of Missions, Konkomba School of Missions and more.
THE JESUS FILM
OneWay Africa missionaries have used the Jesus Film to impact nearly 400,000 people in northern Ghana since 2012.
A small dedicated team travels on motorbikes across perilous terrain to show the film in unreached communities. Partnering with area pastors to provide follow-up care, the men work to ensure that new believers are poised to grow in their faith. More than 45,000 have received Christ and 280 churches have been planted.
BIBLEPLUS+
The BiblePlus is a durable, handheld audio player (or micro SD card) powered by the sun. With content recorded on location, it is packed with the Scriptures, testimonies, worship songs and community health information — all in the local language.
In a culture of oral learners, a tool like this has a big impact! Through widespread distribution, the BiblePlus has led to dramatic life transformation and rapid church growth. Over the past decade, roughly 24,000 units have been distributed in 11 languages.
CLEAN WATER
By helping to meet a critical need for clean water in unreached communities, we are able to not only exhibit the love and compassion of Christ, but see doors opened for the gospel. Since 2012, more than 3,300+ water filters have been distributed to communities in need of safe drinking water. For $50, you can provide a large family with clean water for 3-5 years.
DISCIPLE-MAKING & CHURCH PLANTING
OneWay Africa missionaries are always seeking to help new believers grow in Christ and be established into local fellowships. Through our effective Train the Trainers program, they have helped hundreds of disciple-making groups form in unreached communities. In addition, they have helped to plant 280 churches and boost 158 existing churches.
URBAN MISSIONS
The world is becoming more urban as people from remote areas move to big cities seeking work and new opportunities. Reaching and discipling migrants from unreached people groups in the bustling city of Accra, Ghana as emerged as an effective way for the OneWay Africa team to win souls for Christ.
In 2023, our Urban Missions Team partnered in three medical outreaches, which provided free medical care to thousands of people while strategically sharing the Gospel. We have also been making consistent efforts to disciple many Kayaye urban migrants who have recently found the faith.
ONEWAY SPORTS
Using the cost-effective and viable tool of sports for evangelism and discipleship, OneWay missionaries have seen many transformed by Christ and activated for ministry.
Missionary Reagan coaches a youth soccer team and shares, “The team has experienced a remarkable spiritual transformation, with many players embracing Christianity. On the sports front, the team is displaying impressive performance and won the juvenile league this season. This holistic development reflects a positive synergy between spiritual growth, educational pursuits, and sporting achievements within the team”.
RADIO OUTREACH
Radio remains a powerful medium to proclaim the gospel. An estimated 2 million+ people have been reached with the gospel through our radio broadcasts on local stations, which continue to spread the message of salvation among the unreached in northern Ghana.
ONEWAY AFRICA STUDIOS
OneWay Africa Studios was established in 2023, the fulfillment of a long-time dream. In the words of OneWay Africa Director Ray Mensah, "The passionate goal of the studio is to create content to activate the Body of Christ in Africa and beyond to wake up to their mandate of making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20)."
2024 studio goals include production of Prayercast Africa videos, the Drumbeat Podcast and more, all with a heart to help unleash the great potential of the African church to bless the nations for Christ.
STORIES OF GHANA
THE JESUS FILM RIDERS
The work OneWay does in West Africa often begins with six young men who ride motorbikes across remote parts of Ghana to reach villagers who otherwise might not hear the good news of Jesus. They offer the gift of clean water to help open doors, and follow up their work with handheld audio Bibles.
