ONE YEAR IN MISSION

Phase 1 of the One Year in Mission initiative begins in January 2013, when fourteen young adults from around the world will arrive in New York, USA to live and work together for six months as volunteers. This will serve as a launch pad for the global phases as a new wave of volunteerism spreads around the world.

Our Mission

To lead young people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ and help them embrace His call to discipleship.

Our Motto

The love of Christ compels us.

Our Aim

The Advent Message to all the world in my generation.

Our Theme

It is through the power of Christ and His Spirit that we can celebrate our unity in the midst of such diversity. In a world of ethnic and national divide, this exquisite expression of unity in Jesus is the most powerful expression of the reality of the gospel in the midst of God’s people.
