What We Do

Over the next few weeks we're going to be featuring a series of blog posts explaining what it is exactly that we do here at One Mission. We're going to go over vision, education & training, health, shelter, and spiritual development. These posts will hopefully keep people informed and make people aware of a new trend in missions and social work that absolutely needs to be addressed. One issue I'd specifically like you, the reader, to notice is the importance of relief vs. development. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment or contact us to learn more!

Starting Point

We hosted a Starting Point class in the Peñasco barrios a few days ago. We had about 40 people come learn how they can plug into something bigger than themselves and how they can own the future welfare of their community. We had very positive responses and we should be hosting one a month starting in October.

Mission Sites

A local church has numerous mission sites throughout the barrios. I had the awesome opportunity to preach at one this morning. I've been on the programming team of this church for a month now and have gotten to see a lot of the inner workings of the church.

It was great to meet the mission site leaders and to participate in the work they are doing.

They are doing a great job of providing people with food and drink - physical and spiritual.

Every Saturday there are 4 mission sites that preach the word to the parents, have a program for the kids, and provide all who attend with something to eat, usually hot dogs, pancakes, or sandwiches.

We are happy to partner with the local church in these areas to help them, help their communities.

Movie Night

We had our first movie night last night. We hosted about 100 people at our community center and watched Night at the Museum. It was a lot of fun and everyone that came is really excited for our next movie night in two weeks.

Starting last night every other Friday we are setting up the projector to watch movies. In the barrios, where there is no electricity, a 9x12 foot screen showing a movie and a loud sound system really stands out. We're glad to be able to offer the community something fun and free to do with their Friday nights.

If you're ever in the area and need something to do on a Friday night, come watch movies with us!
