With joy and thanksgiving, we are excited to announce the merger of One Challenge and Entrust.
God’s timing is beautifully evident. OC leaders sensed God calling them to work toward intentional growth in size and impact, while at the same time, Entrust leaders began asking God to guide them on questions related to leadership, recruitment and finances.
Throughout the exploration period and our boards’ final decisions in December, we discovered our organizations each have rich, deep histories and an alignment of vision, mission and core values. The Holy Spirit has truly been at work and at the center of this process.
God is joining strength to strength in this merger!
Each a strong thread crafted by God, our two organizations are now entering a time of interweaving to become stronger than ever, together.
Our interweaving will take time. This is just the beginning. We are in the midst of a systematic planning process working toward a healthy merger. Until late 2025, we will operate side-by-side. So, if you partner with Entrust — keep it up. If you partner with OC — keep it up.

Celebrate with us! Thank God for his clear leading. Pray with us as we enter into this new era of serving the global church together.
May the Lord continue to do great things through his people.
We welcome you to join us in this exciting journey. Together, we can make an even greater impact on the global church. Learn more about our organizations at https://t.co/w2HYfIJO3y and https://t.co/TehpyFRyP2.

In the 1930s, Dick Hillis was called to ministry in China. If he hadn't responded to God's call, he wouldn't have found the ministry values that became OC and continue through today.

Psalm 103
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
In 5 days, the global church will gather in Incheon, South Korea for the Fourth Lausanne Congress.
Let us take a moment to thank God for His faithfulness, provision, and guidance in bringing us to this point. Praise Him for the global community of believers who will gather, and for the countless ways He has already been at work in preparing hearts and minds for this Congress.

We need you!
All of you out there in X land who follow us have sustained us over the years with your prayers, your support, your giving and by going as OC workers to empower the global church for their impact!
God has put it on the hearts of many of our workers to start the OC School of Ministry. It's a 6-month program that starts with a 2-week bootcamp in Uganda designed to help young people grow in their spiritual formation and get to see and experience DMM in action!
Here's how you can help:
First: Pray! Set a reminder on your phone for 9:38 for the month of September and when that reminder goes off, pause and pray Matthew 9:38 for the SoM -- That the LORD of the harvest would send workers for the harvest field!
Second: Spread the word! We have an ambitious goal to fill four cohorts in Colorado Springs, Dallas, Phoenix and the CAMENA area, each with 4 students. If you know someone who may be called to join a cohort, send them our way!
