Mobilize Your Church to Reach the World - by reaching ONE

Launch
Transfer the vision of ONE Focus to the entire church and asking for a commitment.
Mission
Connect your church with ONE—where discipleship and evangelism merge.
Recovery
Build in accountability, urgency, celebration and evaluation.
The ONE-Focus allowed our whole church to get on the same page for an entire year.
I like One Focus because it’s simple – every member intentionally reaching out to one unsaved or unchurched person during one year. The response we’ve had thus far is amazing.
Each week more and more introduce their friends and neighbors to me that are their “ones”. One Focus really fits our church.
ONE Focus Training is completely FREE.
It is our mission to bring the ONE Focus initiative to as many churches as possible. That is why we are making our comprehensive training completely free for you and your church.
Most church leaders have a desire and passion for mobilizing their church for evangelism.
But they do not have the plan or coaching needed. Our ONE Focus team has developed the plan and provide the coaching.
This is an example module from the ONE Focus PreLaunch Training.

Our congregation’s response to the ONE Focus knocked the top out of our expectations! Needless to say, all the staff is elated that God is moving through our church, motivating and exciting our members with the ONE FOCUS initiative. Should you do the ONE Focus? Absolutely! It is a non-confrontational missional outreach. It equips the people to engage one un-churched person by sharing the love of Jesus with them through developing a true relationship that demonstrates Christ- likeness. It’s doable by everyone.
ONE Focus is clearly a movement of God in our church. Our members are praying and reaching out to their ONEs and God is providing opportunities. ONE Focus transforms your church from programs to vision for living a missional evangelistic life. With the ONE Focus initiative and Scotty and his team’s leadership, and much prayer and commitment, we’ve had a tremendous response. Will you love one for a year?
The ONE Focus has brought a renewed spirit of anticipation that permeates throughout our church family. We’re seeing people come to faith in Christ every week. We heartily recommend Scotty, Mike, and the rest of the Life Catalyst team.
ONE Focus ignited our church. As a pastor I’ve never experienced the commitment our people now have to doing their parts in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
I am so excited about the One Focus. In it God has given us a very clear plan for evangelism. The ONE Focus has moved our people out of their comfort zones to love and disciple their friends and to lead them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
ONE Focus is something your church should consider doing. Scotty Sanders and Mike Walker have developed this from the ground up. It helps your church to focus like a laser in reaching people for Christ. I encourage you to take a look. You won’t work with finer people.
Scotty has put together a new evangelism initiative called ONE FOCUS that has revolutionized many churches throughout Louisiana. Personal friends of mine have told me how great ONE FOCUS has been for the church. He wants to get it going in Texas and I told him I wanted to help.
One Focus has allowed Summer Grove Baptist Church to rally around the Great Commission and to give each member a way to reach out to another unchurched individual. I would strongly suggest that you consider One Focus for your church as you join me in praying for a Great Awakening.
Scotty wants to call the ONE Focus an initiative. He is right. ONE Focus encourages members to take the initiative to focus on someone who needs Christ. You can call it whatever you like but it changes the culture of the church and the hearts of the church members. It gives you a vision to rally around.
Just recently I had a young teen age church member tell me, “I think my one is getting close to accepting Christ. God has already given me my next one.” As a pastor that’s exciting. We’ve had increases in large Wednesday night attendance and our baptisms have more than doubled last year with the ONE Focus.
ONE Focus has been absolutely worth it. Our baptism are up 140% over last year because of our peoples commitment to ONE Focus.
What an incredible year! Baptisms up over a previous year’s high. We had 116 commitments of faith on the closing Sunday of ONE Focus. Thank you for your encouragement and continued desire to see the lost come to know Jesus as Savior.
The best aspect of ONE Focus is the simplicity of picking “one” and placing an emphasis on reaching that “one”, while still being sensitive and available for others as well. It’s not age specific, so all ages are able to participate in the Great Commission.
Anything that can engage most all of the church in evangelism has to be good. During the ONE Focus we saw baptisms rise over 700% compared to the previous year’s report.
We saw the greatest improvements in children and youth departments with the ONE Focus. Both departments doubled in size. Wednesday night attendance jumped as well. It’s great to see the church so involved in Kingdom work. We’ve had great results with baptisms doubling our previous year.
The ONE Focus has kept our people focused on those that need to know Christ. The jump is a baptism speaks for its worthiness and Kingdom value. We baptized nine times the number of last year and the harvest isn’t over yet.
I was born into a Muslim family. I practiced all the Muslim rituals and did everything to be a devoted Muslim. As I was growing up, I sensed emptiness in my life. The problem was I did not know what I needed until today when I found Jesus Christ. He has filled my life with hope, joy, peace, and love. I am going to tell my parents and everyone in my neighborhood!
The ONE Focus Manual is powerful like a gun in the hands of a hunter.
My denomination is on target to reach almost everyone in our area/neighborhood. The ONE Focus Manual provides the best guidance to reach others.
Today, my church has two services because of the ONE Focus Initiative.
It is a privilege to work with you to save and serve lives that could be spiritually lost if not for the ONE Focus Initiative. There have been many challenges due to lockdowns and social distancing as precautionary measures for the Corona Virus. Despite these restrictions, our workers eagerly reached out to people with the Gospel, and many were saved. One of the most exciting reports is that six people who trusted Christ as their Savior last year felt God’s calling and are planting churches: two in Malawi and four in Mozambique. God Bless you as you help the propagation of the gospel in the African Region.
