Why One Village Exists
Making the Invisible Missionary Visible
At this very moment, all around the globe, tens of thousands of missionaries are doing incredible work, tirelessly sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Can you see them?
Can anyone see them?
Most of them are invisible...
The Crises of Invisible Missionaries
In a world dominated by millions of digital distractions, the voices of missionaries are being drowned out.
Combine this with missionaries who lack the tools and strategies to make their efforts visible, and you have the greatest crisis facing Modern Missions today – Invisible Missionaries.
Why Visibility Matters
When missionaries struggle to be seen, they face profound challenges:
- Financial strain that jeopardizes their ability to stay in the field.
- Spiritual isolation that impacts their emotional well-being.
- Physical hardship on their families as a result of limited resources and support.
The consequences are significant: over half of all new missionaries leave the field within their first five years. Without intervention, this number will only increase as missionaries become more isolated from the broader world.
One Village Group
At One Village Group, we are committed to making the Invisible Missionary Visible.
We do this by providing the digital tools, training, and strategies every missionary needs to enter the field quickly, amplify their impact in the field, all the while remaining strongly connected and visible to their supporters back home.
- Multimedia Engagement: We train missionaries to use modern platforms like social media, blogs, messaging apps, and video to effectively communicate with people. We train them how to engage people where they are today, not where they were yesterday.
- Training in Best Practices: We train missionaries in “Best Practices” to cultivate meaningful, long-term relationships with their supporters, building trust and collaboration.
- Personalized Blogs: We equip every missionary with their own dynamic blog page and train them how to effectively, foster real-time engagement.
- Ongoing Coaching: Through consistent, strategic guidance, we help missionaries integrate all these tools to create enduring connections with supporters—people like you.
