One Mission Society unites, inspires, and equips Christians
to make disciples of Jesus Christ, multiplying dynamic
communities of believers around the world.
Engaging the One Reaching Every One Equipping Many
We strive to engage the One in all we think,
say, and do. Prayer is intricately woven into
the DNA of OMS. From a powerful con-
version in Africa to a simple meeting at
the OMS World Headquarters, you will
experience the faithful, heart-felt prayers
of God’s people. We long to reach everyone with the re-
demptive message of Jesus Christ. Since
the beginning, OMS has strategically and
effectively saturated whole communities
and nations with the Gospel, but we know
reaching the nations starts by sharing the
Good News with one person. Our goal is
that everyone we meet encounters the
transforming love of Jesus Christ. We endeavor to equip each one who fol-
lows Christ to become a disciple-maker.
Our goal is not to just share the Gospel
but to equip each new Christ follower
to make more reproducing followers of
Christ, causing an exponential multipli-
cation of disciples. We believe each one
can reach many more, and one life can
impact the world.
