Walking the Path of Discipleship

Walking the Path of Discipleship

In another blast from the past, this article from our time in Hungary describes how we engaged in disciple-making through the use of Banding Together. While Amanda and I are not in Hungary anymore we still believe in the mission of disciple-making and the 8 approaches laid out in the article. This is the kind of stuff that gets both of us excited about what God is doing, we hope

Missionary Pedestals

Missionary Pedestals

Amanda focuses this blog post on the danger of pedestals and how everyone is called into ministry not just those that are called cross-culturally. We felt like it was worth re-sharing as we think about what we are ALL called to right here and now. Read the full post here: https://www.onemissioneme.org/blog/missionary-pedestals

Musings on Music and the Kingdom

Musings on Music and the Kingdom

I've always loved music. The awkward photo above is a testament to my official title of "band geek" in high school. Back then it felt like my whole life was music (and to be fair, with 9am-9pm practices, it kind of was).

Grieving "home"

OMS and reaching the Unreached

OMS and reaching the Unreached

Chris Williams, our Executive Director, passionately shares how One Mission Society (OMS) is actively engaging with unreached people groups across the globe. This brief segment offers a glimpse into the inspiring talk he delivered this summer, which draws heavily from the foundational work I, Daniel, conducted last spring.

In honor of English Camps finishing up in Hungary and to start out a series of resharing some of our old blogs and update letters. We are sharing an old post about one of Daniel's favorite years of English Camp. If anything, the photo of Daniel covered in whipped cream is worth sharing again.

Missionary Council

Missionary Council

Summer 2024 Update Letter The theme for this missionary council was "Cornerstone." This concept highlighted Christ as our cornerstone and acknowledged that we are living stones being built and shaped by God, our master builder. It was a fantastic time of being molded through teaching, which built us up internally and provided us with skills to use externally. However, two of my favorite moments were hearing leaders from
