2025 Annual Report
2025 was a defining year for One Challenge
Let’s look back on 2025 and the impact of the OC Global Alliance, and with “one mind and one voice may we glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6.
From the President
In 2025, we experienced God on the move through Great Commission breakthroughs, a successful merger with Entrust, and creative collaboration in 111 countries.
Jesus invites us into his team—aligning our stories, strengths, and callings to propel his purposes. We are moving in a shared direction and mutually surrendering to his ways.
When we align in Jesus, fruitfulness follows. Together, we CONNECT with the global church to EMPOWER local ministry so they can IMPACT nations. When God’s people move together in mission, small steps become kingdom strides, and disciples, leaders, and churches are multiplied.
Thank you for walking with us on the Way! Your teamwork makes a difference. The numbers in this 2025 annual ministry report point to your impact through One Challenge and the larger OC Global Alliance. Aligned in him and attentive to his leading, let’s celebrate how God is moving and trust him for much fruit!

Stories of Impact
A Lesson in Letting Go
Faith is walking forward in obedience, despite the uncertainty of the outcome.
God moves. He brings the right people at the right timing. He shows us, again, that he is the one who builds. Letting go is not passive. It’s choosing obedience when the plan doesn’t make sense. It’s understanding that we are powerless, but He is all-powerful. It’s opening our hands, taking a breath, and learning to let go and let God.
A “Yes” to Transformation
We can measure a lot when it comes to a Sports Ambassadors short-term missions trip. 194 kilometers traveled. 19 basketball games with over 3,000 spectators. 11 basketball clinics with 780 participants. 6 church partnerships. 900 responses to Christ.
What can’t we measure? How a two-week mission trip changes your life. How it changes the lives around you. And how the Lord will use these games, and clinics, and testimonies to transform the Philippines and beyond.
South Korea’s Glorious Challenge
Spreading the Good News is especially difficult, even dangerous, in what are referred to as the “Stan” nations – Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, etc. These Muslim-majority countries are highly resistant, if not openly hostile to the message of Christ.
Mission workers have been praying and strategizing for decades to breach the barrier and disciple the Stans. God recently began opening a new door in a rather unlikely place: South Korea.
