Programs

OneHope creates innovative Scripture engagement programs for the next generation. Using research findings, each program is contextualized in order to reach children and youth with the Word of God in the most relevant and engaging way.

We believe innovation is essential to effectively reach the children and youth of the world. In our connected world, we frequently use digital Scripture engagement programs to help young people experience God’s Story.

Bible App for Kids

Created in partnership with our friends at YouVersion, the Bible App for Kids is a fun, interactive library of Bible stories for young children, designed to help them fall in love with God’s Word. This resource is available for free in 70 different languages and has been downloaded in every country in the world.

Kids Bible Experience

As an in-app feature currently available in the YouVersion Bible App, the Kids Bible Experience provides preteens with engaging, practical insight into how they can apply God’s Word. Children’s ministry leaders and Christian influencers from around the world contribute top-notch devotional content. Pre-teens enjoy fresh, relevant content daily in both English and Spanish. This new experience helps them build a habit of seeking God every day.

Features:

  1. Friendly and Inviting

  2. A two minute or less vertical video in the style of Instagram stories meets preteens in the digital space, where they love to consume content.

  3. Fun, fresh perspectives

  4. They’ll hear relevant insights from voices they relate to, with content curated by OneHope partners.

  5. Food for thought

 

6. A simple question helps them reflects on what they’ve learned.

7. Firm foundations

8. Daily verses and guided prayer help them frame their world in the light of God’s Word

9. Multi-Day Bible Plans in English

10. 4-day Bible Plans made specifically for preteens to help them go deeper into Scripture engagement.

What If It’s True?

Many partners cannot evangelize to young people in limited access nations because of cultural restrictions. Youth may be curious about Christian beliefs, but outside of digital spaces, it would be very difficult for them to find a safe space to explore answers to those questions. What if it’s True? begins with an intriguing social media ad. When a participant chooses to engage with the content, it leads to a seven-day introductory journey through Scripture. What if it’s True? has reached over 48 million young people in over 201 countries. Throughout the engagement process, users have an opportunity to go deeper and ultimately connect with a local discipleship cohort or social media community manager who is equipped to answer questions and guide users on their personal journeys towards faith. 

OneHope Films Share God’s Word Powerfully

The GodMan

For children who cannot read and in areas where the printed Word cannot go, The GodMan film tells the story of Christ’s life for all to understand. The GodMan is a computer-animated film that has been translated into many languages and shown worldwide. Additionally, it has been customized for ten different cultural worldviews. More than 160 million children and youth have seen the film in hosted settings, and millions more have had the opportunity to watch The GodMan on television in their country. Click here to watch a clip of The GodMan.

OneHope Youth Films in partnership with the LUMO Project

OneHope Youth Films bring the Gospel story to life on screen to appeal to younger generations who have grown up in the digital age. The films are part of OneHope programs that take place during outreaches, small groups, and in homes. Through visual storytelling, young people have the opportunity to engage with truths from the Bible in a visual, dynamic format. Watch a clip here!

Rose Film

Rose is an exciting, new short film for pre-teens and youth in Latin America. The content found in the film allows them to interact with the Word of God and addresses the issue of anxiety and depression through a character named Rose. According to the Global Youth Culture report, 55% of Latin America teens stated that they experienced high anxiety within the last three months and 39% stated that they experienced depression within the past three months. The goal of this program is to see teens leave anxiety and depression behind, as they identify with Rose, who faces circumstances and goes to the limit to decide to reaffirm her relationship with God.

OneHope partners with local churches and other ministries to share God’s Word with children. Yet, communities around the world lack a Christian church. Together, we need to advance church planting initiatives so every child can experience the hope of the Gospel.

How We’re Moving Forward

 

Lumiere Project

The Lumière Project is a church planting initiative in Africa. Our team travels to villages where no Christian church is established. Using OneHope resources to share the Gospel message, the responding youth and adults become the first attendees of a new church plant! Children are also welcomed to join a kids Bible club. You can be a part of sharing God’s Word in these communities!

Hosanna Plan

The Hosanna Plan is delivering God’s Word to unreached children and youth through strategic local church planting and evangelism initiatives. Outreach team members dedicate one year of their life to traveling to remote communities across the country. Children and youth learn the Gospel message through multiple OneHope programs that share God’s Word.

We’re passionate about empowering the local church to do the work of the Church — reaching the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. It’s our desire to share our knowledge with churches and other like-minded organizations to help increase Kingdom impact. Learn more about OneHope resources available to your church, organization, or ministry.

Cultivate

Cultivate Leadership Program is an internship designed to connect valuable skill sets to meaningful outcome-based projects, contributing to professional and spiritual development.

Feed

We want to see the teens in youth groups engage with Scripture in a meaningful way, and equip leaders with resources to effectively reach them. Feed includes resources, designed by and for the local church, to help teens grow in a relationship with Christ. Feed creates space for honest conversations around difficult truths in the Bible.
