125 Years of One Mission Society! (and more)

This year marks 125 years of One Mission Society (OMS)! What started with a small group of faithful believers has grown into an entire organization with missionaries and partners all over the world.

125-Year History Video

As part of the 125th anniversary celebration, the OMS USA Communications Department created a video of the mission's timeline. I hope you'll take 10 minutes to enjoy this overview of how God has worked through OMS in the last 125 years!

Global Impact Report

OMS USA Communications also released OMS' annual Global Impact Report! As always, it highlights what the Lord did through OMS in 2025 and part of 2026.

Attending OMS' 125th Celebration

I was grateful to attend OMS' 125th anniversary celebration in Indianapolis at the end of June. It was, as people often say, a whirlwind first visit back to the USA, but I'm thankful for how the Lord orchestrated my limited time.

In addition to the celebration event, I participated in my OMS World Intercessors (WI) role by praying with and/or for other missionaries that week. It's an honor to bear others' burdens and take them to the Lord on their behalf.

Here are some of the other WI team members. We helped with prayer times at the 125th event, with matching shirts that helped people find us!

I had minimal free time while in the USA, but I did get to catch up with some family (pets too!) and friends, which was a big blessing.

Satura México World Cup Evangelism Update

Thank you for praying for our national team's ministry throughout Mexico during the World Cup! Satura México team members, along with hundreds of volunteers from multiple countries, distributed 100,000 World-Cup themed/Gospel-sharing pamphlets; 12,000 Bibles; 4,000 Gideon New Testaments; and 1,200 booklets from Our Daily Bread. Please pray for the team’s follow-up efforts and for God to provide fruit from the Gospel seeds that have been planted.

Late Summer/Early Fall in Mexico

Lord willing, OMS Mexico will host an evangelism team in early September, as well as a prayer team later in September. We plan on welcoming two more Embarkers (mid-term missionaries) soon: one tomorrow (the 22nd) and one later this fall. Please ask God to provide every detail for each person and team, and pray that he will work through these upcoming ministry opportunities.

We are also working toward other short-term teams in October and early November. Please pray for the Lord to clarify his plan as needed; we know he already knows how and where every team will serve!

I find much joy as I contribute to team organizing/hosting and give glory to God for how he's allowed me to grow in the specific knowledge/experience needed for my ministry role.

Sweet P remains as cute and feisty as ever, and I remain thankful for her presence in my life.

Sending you warm greetings from my beloved Mexico!
