Planning for Follow-Up Ministry

Upon completion of the goals of a OneStory project, the partners are committed to subsequent phases of ministry championed by the local churches within the people groups. This involves more complete proclamation of God’s Word for discipleship, church planting and leadership development in story form and in other media — whether audio, radio, audiovisual or print. The ultimate goal is to provide the entire counsel of God in the heart language of every person in effective distribution formats accessible to all.

The goal of OneStory is for 40 percent of Quest project participants to serve long term with a OneStory-related ministry — continuing with the same people-group project, with one of the agencies or with a like-minded people group ministry. Another goal is for 10 percent of total project participants, particularly Quest participants, to continue as trainers and mentors for future OneStory programs, with a particular focus on building capacity for training people from the Southern and Eastern hemispheres.
