Hundreds of churches will be launched with One Prayer
As the Church experiences unprecedented unity with One Prayer, we have the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the world through an ambitious mission initiative. Together we're supporting four international organizations in planting hundreds of new churches in Cambodia, India, Sudan, and China! So far, One Prayer churches and individuals have contributed more than $750,000 towards this effort. The local church is the hope of the world, and these new churches will be able to make a sustainable, lasting and eternal impact on these four strategic regions.
Many churches are participating in the One Prayer offering as a local body, so please check to see if your church is taking part. If you are unable to contribute through your local congregation, find out how you can still donate to the One Prayer Mission by clicking here.

With One Prayer, as one Church we're planting hundreds of churches in four countries. We're making a geographic and practical impact, training church planters who address the spiritual needs in their communities in addition to other basic necessities:
country focus - cambodia
New Generations International is a component of City Team Ministries, and is an interdenominational, not-for-profit ministry that focuses on church planting in over 30 countries throughout the world. New Generations specifically focuses on resourcing networks of indigenous church planters in difficult or unreached people group areas.
Life Mission International is an interdenominational, indigenously-led resource network for Indian church planters functioning in Tamilnadu, Southern India. Through partnerships with The Bible League, World Relief, Growing Opportunity International, International Justice Mission, Purpose Driven International, Living Water International and other organizations, Life Mission International currently serves a network of over 150 church planters implementing holistic church health initiatives, with an additional network of over 250 planters enrolled in the training process.
CPS (for security reasons, the actual organization designation is modified) is an inter-denominational training organization based in North Africa that focuses on training networks of indigenous church planters throughout the African continent, with primary deployment to the nation of Sudan and the regions of North Africa and the Middle East. In Sudan, CPS regularly trains annual numbers in excess of 300 church planters, many of whom travel up the Nile River or by foot for 30 days to receive training on planting methodologies. Each planter is trained specifically to engage the rigors of administration in a church context, personal character-building, Biblical knowledge, leadership, service and life transformation. CPS regularly engages discussions at the national government level as well, encouraging negotiation between Christian church planters and other religious extremes.
New Life League is a nondenominational literature ministry based in the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. With primary focus on materials development, printing and distribution, New Life League also partners with networks of church planters connected to the "house church movement" of China. Through work with other partner agencies such as The Bible League Canada, Little Lambs Ministry, and several "covert" courier and training organizations, New Life League resources growing networks of Chinese church planters who are engaging ministry in some of the most hostile and difficult to access places in the world.
Once a killing field, Cambodia is now a harvest of light. Also possessing rapidly growing networks of indigenous church planters, both Cambodia and Vietnam possess a history of war-torn and tyrannical poverty.
Dire poverty and most unreached people groups. With the highest Hindu population on the planet (and one of the largest populations total), a booming international economy, and a massive surging conflict between "old ways and new ways", India is a hot-seat of global attention.
Country plagued by poverty, disease and war. Since the late 80s, 2 million people have been killed and millions more displaced from their homes. Terrible oppression and persecution for the church. Christians sold into slavery, mass executions, verified crucifixions: not handfuls but thousands.
Largest country. The "house church" movement in China has been active for over 7 decades, and now accounts for one of the most viral underground church movements in the world despite government opposition.
