Finding the One — Imitate the Shepherd

“Because somewhere right now, there’s a sheep who thinks no one is looking for them.”

Missions Month 2026

Finding the one. It describes what your generosity is doing right now in places you may never visit, for people whose names you may never know.

In the parable, the shepherd left the ninety-nine sheep to find the one that wandered and became lost. The math does not make sense. The risk is not reasonable. But that is simply what love does. It goes. It seeks. And it does not stop until it finds.

01

Reach People for Jesus Christ

We go to the places God sends us, across the street and into the furthest, hardest corners of the world, so that the people no one is looking for get found.

Honduras · John Agee

Reaching People in Honduras

John Agee’s path to faith began in the mission field, where a call to Honduras took root in his heart even before he became a believer. Seeing how the locals view arriving missionaries as a direct answer to prayer, John experiences the presence of the Holy Spirit through the people he goes to serve.

Local · Dennis Woodley

Reaching Foster Children

Dennis Woodley spent years working in the prison system, witnessing firsthand the tragic pipeline from foster care to incarceration. Moved to intervene and guided by James 1:27, he now volunteers with The Champion Project to mentor youths and run The Book Bus. By giving vulnerable children a safe space to just be kids and sharing essentials like a Bible and journal, Dennis reflects the unconditional love of Jesus — reminding them that they are deeply valued and loved.

Local · Rock Bottom Hope

Reaching People at Rock Bottom

Danny knows what it’s like to reach rock bottom. Raised in a loving Christian home, he lost his way as a teenager and fell into isolation and addiction — until he met God’s love at his lowest point. Through Rock Bottom Hope, he now helps others break free and find healing in Jesus.

Global · Middle East

Reaching People in Difficult Contexts

Through collaboration with missionaries in the Middle East, we have a remarkable opportunity to reach some of the least-reached people on earth. It is a call to be involved in meaningful change — and everyone can play a role, starting with prayer.

Finding the one is only the beginning. We stay, training pastors, teaching believers who cannot gather openly and raising up the next generation.

Discipling International Families

Ana Vargas believes that as followers of Jesus, we are called to serve our neighbors with the love of Christ, no matter where they are from. As the program director at ConNEXT Steps, she welcomes families from around the world to the Creekside community, using language classes as a bridge to share the life-changing truth of the gospel.

Global · SAT-7

Discipling Isolated Believers

Satellite technology operates beyond the bounds of censorship and monitoring. Partners like SAT-7 deliver theological education and the message of salvation to new Christians in closed areas, where gathering as a Christian community is often impossible.

Global · Favor International

Discipling the Next Generation

Carole Ward began her journey 22 years ago by turning a humble hut in Uganda into a house of prayer. Today, alongside 160 missionaries, she is raising up a generation of believers who have overcome fear and are willing to go wherever God calls.

Helping Through Finances

As a case manager with the Society of St. Stephen, Libby Pike steps in to help individuals and families navigating financial crises. Rather than simply give them money, she empowers them to better manage their resources, witnessing firsthand how God uses moments of hardship to deepen the faith of both the recipient and the giver.

Local · Geezer Squad

Helping Through Service

Gary Hill and the Geezer Squad give up their time each week to build wheelchair ramps and handle home safety projects for those in need. Driven by a shared commitment to service above self, these men allow God to move their hearts to step in wherever help is needed, leaving both them and the families with a powerful sense of His goodness at work.

Local · Hope Beyond Bridges

Helping Through Provision

Amanda Hiebert answered a simple request for volunteers 14 years ago, a step of faith that grew into a leadership role with Hope Beyond Bridges. By feeding and building relationships with the homeless community along the I-45 corridor, she meets people exactly where they are and is reminded that everyone is made in God's image and deserves grace.

Local · Serve It Up

Helping Through Faith

Every year, our church family comes together with one purpose. Guided by faith, hundreds of volunteers step out on an ordinary Saturday to give their time, talents and energy to make a difference in our community. Each act of service is a tangible expression of God’s love, reminding our neighbors that they are seen and valued. Thank you, church, for serving it up!

More than funding, more than programs, what they long for is to be seen and known — to have confidence that someone actually knows their name.
