New Tools Gaining Traction

Radical Alignment Book & Assessment

  • 1,300 books in circulation across 23 states

  • 70 respondents from 28 churches completed assessment

  • Results show strong personal alignment towards the Great Commission but gaps in organizational alignment—driving demand for practical tools

OneLife Campaigns

OneLife is a set of practical relational evangelism tools that equip the entire congregation to naturally live out the Great Commission.

  • 30-Day Devotional launching in partner church testing (February 2026)

  • 4 churches beginning campaigns in Q1 2026

  • Every IC Conference attendee receives devotional

How You Can Partner With Hundreds of Church Leaders?

2026 Goals:

  • 10 churches running OneLife Campaigns

  • Continued production of congregational equipping resources

  • Expanding reach to more church leaders and denominations

We need to raise $500,000 to complete the OneLife project.

Your investment fuels the movement:

  • $500 - Scholarships for smaller and lower-income churches

  • $2,500 - Publishes workbooks training tens of thousands in relational evangelism

  • $10,000 - Creates training for churches to host non-believer panel discussions that inspire congregants toward evangelism

  • $25,000 - Completes OneLife Devotional production (reaching hundreds of thousands)

Contact Doug Parks to discuss partnership.

How Can You Pray

  • For Ones being prayed for and pursued - That God would prepare hearts as thousands of church members reach people who don't know Jesus

  • For production of new resources - OneLife Devotional, participant workbooks, and training for non-believer weekend panel discussions

  • For more donor partners and churches - That God would raise up those who believe in equipping the local church

  • For IC Conference 2026 - As we prepare for 750-800 leaders to gather

Thank you for believing in the local church and investing in this movement.
