!2 Mission The mission of 1 Way Ministries is to boldly share the whole truth of God’s Word through evangelism and outreach to impoverished, forgotten and desperate people groups by motivating and mobilizing believers in Jesus Christ to take the first steps in reaching the world with the message of eternal hope. Vision • to share the message of the Gospel through effective evangelism training with believers and church leaders. • to encourage leaders in disciple-making and the kingdom work of evangelism. • to preach boldly, without compromise, the whole truth of God’s Word in every opportunity God provides. • to reach the fringe members of society with a radical message of salvation and lordship found in Jesus. ! !Goals • to reach impoverished, forgotten and desperate people groups with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through tangible, physical means (food distribution, home construction/repair, etc). • to reach impoverished, forgotten and desperate people groups with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through educational programs (tutoring, VBS, sports camps, etc). • to reach impoverished, forgotten and desperate people groups with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through personal evangelism (door to door, ! Crusades, etc). ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !3 Mission Site Information Weather The weather in New Mexico is different across the varied terrain of the state. The northwestern area of the state is somewhat arid with a uniquely snowy winter to its elevation. Temperatures in this area range from 90’s in the summer months to 20’s in the winter. The spring and fall months are very nice with cooler temperatures in the morning and at night, and warmer 70’s during the daytime. The northern and eastern regions of the state have more extreme conditions due to the mountains and valleys that make up some of the most beautiful parts of the state. The southern portions of the state are more desert with more consistent weather patterns of rainy season and dry hot months. Cultures and History New Mexico boasts twenty-two Native American tribes. As a result of this high number of Indians populating the state, New Mexico has a unique history and heritage of family and family groups. In addition to a large Indian population New Mexico is home to the largest number of historically significant Hispanic settlements in the US. The vibrant Latin influence mingled with the deep American Indian heritage establishes New Mexico as our most colorful state in the US in language, art, food, and history. Location Our work is beginning in small Indian churches located on or near the Navajo Nation and smaller Pueblo Indian pueblos/reservations. The Navajo Nation is the largest reservation in the US with acreage larger than 10 of the 50 US states and a growing population of more than 250,000. Our Partnership is through the Baptist Convention of New Mexico association and churches scattered across the state from Albuquerque to Gallup and from Farmington to Taos. Religion The most prominent religion on the reservations is traditional indigenous cultural foundations with ancestor worship as well as Catholicism. There are only a few Christian churches on the Navajo reservation. There are no churches on Pueblo or Zuni land. Due to the Spanish colonization of the region Catholicism is present in most every community throughout New Mexico. There is a growing awareness among the Christ-followers in New Mexico of the need for evangelism and outreach in a relational manner. !

Housing While in New Mexico, there is a variety of lodging used for groups.

Housing is dependent on the location. All participants will be informed of the housing/restroom accommodations prior to the trip. Food Breakfast will be served at the local lodging site. Generally, we will have a brown bag lunch with sandwich, chips, fruit and drink. Food will range from everyday American fare to local favorites.

Groups are responsible for their own transportation on the ground as well as fuel for the vehicles during the trip. (NOTE: Locations for ministry may be 1-1 ½ hours away from where we are staying.

Groups may choose to either drive to New Mexico and use their vehicles throughout the trip or rent vehicles in Albuquerque, transport themselves to the ministry site and use these vehicles throughout their trip. !Auto insurance is required for all vehicles. OPTIONAL: Travel arrangements (including airfare, rental vehicles, gas and insurance) can be arranged by One Way Ministries for an additional cost per person.
