Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

What It Means to Be a Disciple

Discipleship is how we reach the world, I am told. I understand that if each disciple reaches one person, and in turn that disciple reaches one that reaches one, the multiplication of disciples in a few years will reach the whole world.

Mission to Peru

Almost a decade has passed since we visited Rodolfo Casas, One Kingdom’s partner and radio speaker in Lima, Perú. Many years ago, a visit was necessary because we had to talk and find out if he was sharing the Gospel as the good news of Salvation or if his teachings were legalistic and lacking in grace and truth. We were happily surprised to find a humble man of God in love with the Word and a passion for expanding the Kingdom. By the end of our trip, the local church in Carabaíyo, (one of Lima’s 44 districts) had welcomed us with arms wide open.

Building the Legacy

What a tremendous legacy we have been given through the vision of our forefathers to share the Gospel in every nation and in every language. Long before I arrived at White’s Ferry Road Church, I had heard of their outreach efforts. When my husband Danny and I moved to West Monroe, the work we were able to be part of was a blessing beyond measure.

Blessings from Neyba

In 2007, my life-adventure dial was set on “go,” so when the opportunity to travel to the Dominican Republic presented itself, I said “yes” without any hesitation and very little preparation. In fact, if I remember correctly, I was asked to help with a VBS week in a little town called Neyba. Pretty quickly the word “help” turned into “you’re in charge” and here’s a handful of college-aged young people, mostly boys, to help you pull it off.

The Hole: Jesus and Culture

In Houston, Texas there is an apartment complex known to the local community as “the Hole.” There is one way in and one way out of this low-income living environment. Inside this small community, there is an atmosphere of hopelessness, fear, and desperation.

Leaving a Legacy in Zambia

In 2006, at the age of 60, Richard Myers went on his first mission trip with a medical missions team to Africa. He’d witnessed many missionaries and ministers travel abroad over the years, but never quite felt the tug to go on a mission himself until later in life. Myers sat quietly for most of the trip, watching more than participating, until one of the team leaders, David French, asked him to come see the farm on the property.

Ministry in the Nation of Nepal

We recently spent some time talking with our brother and partner in Nepal, Pramod Dhakal, about his ministry.

Pramod originally got connected to One Kingdom through our relief work after a devastating earthquake in 2015. He now oversees a World Radio program and ministers to his local community in Kathmandu.

Pramod works very closely with our partners in India in the effort to spread the Gospel to southeast Asia.

Working in the Navajo Reservation: Joys and Challenges

I grew up on what I like to call the deep Rez, where there is no running water or electricity. I like to think I have a little culture to me, and I also like to think I understand the Navajo people because I myself am Navajo (or Diné as we like to be called).

Hurricane Ian First Response

In early October, we sent a small team to Fort Myers, Florida to assist with disaster relief in the area.

Many homes were destroyed by the storm, many people were displaced, but the local church and community came together to help those in need.

Our first day of travel was an extended one. Leaving Monroe early in the morning, we arrived in Atlanta for a long layover before flying out to Bogota, Colombia. The One Kingdom team traveling to Colombia included Director Ryan Lee, elders of White’s Ferry Road Church, Mike Kellett and Robert Ables, and myself.

We are Culture Warriors

From a worldwide perspective, have you ever noticed how obscure Jesus was during his short 33 years on earth? We know hardly anything about his first 30 years, and then during his three years of public ministry, he never traveled outside of the region of Israel and never addressed anything about world politics or the occupying Romans. When asked about paying taxes to Rome, his only comment was “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Matthew 22:21).

Hope for the Hopeless

Hope is an important and popular construct in modern culture. Songs, movies, fiction and non-fiction novels, even Broadway plays center around themes of hope. We preach about hope. We teach about hope. Deep down, each of us is hoping for something. And, all of us at some point in time have felt the opposite of hope: hopeless.

The Legacy of Ann Bolden

As old men often do, I’ve been reminiscing about how I’ve spent my life over the last 50 years, the impact my life has had on Messiah’s Kingdom, and the part my wife, Ann, played in those Kingdom accomplishments. You see, my wife of 51 years, 8 months, and 11 days, passed away on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022 at 6:00 PM, after a 3-year battle with colorectal cancer. During those 51 years, we resided in three foreign countries, learned two languages, and raised three daughters. That covers 30 of our 51 years together.

The Trip of a Lifetime

From my earliest memories, one thing I always said was “I want to go! Take me, too!” I was raised in Arkansas where my parents, Jake and Barbara Henry, always had every visiting preacher or missionary in our home to eat at our table and talk about ministry around the world. I heard about their struggles and listened to Godly folks dream about the future and how to reach the lost. I would sit there and dream with them, even as a child. I wanted to go!

I was Made to be a Soldier

I was made to be a soldier. When I joined the Army at 18 years old, it was all I wanted. It gave me a mission and a purpose. I stood shoulder to shoulder with other men, fighting for a worthy cause. I loved the excitement of combat. You might have heard it said before: there is not quite anything that makes you feel so alive as being shot at. All you have in that moment is your training, your inner strength, and your brothers. In some core way, this felt like what God made men to do. I knew it was what God made me to do.

Youth Mission to Nicaragua

This summer we had the privilege of traveling to Nicaragua with our youth and college group to host a VBS and fellowship with our Nicaraguan brothers and sisters. When we were students in the college group, we had two opportunities to visit Nicaragua, and each time it had a dramatic impact on our lives. It opened our eyes to reality, teaching us that relationships are more valuable than material prosperity, and that there is beauty in both the similarities and differences of how other people-groups worship God.
