Through our partners at SEPAL Guatemala (Serving Pastors and Leaders), part of the OC Global Alliance, local leaders are helping reach the next generation with the hope of Christ. 🙌

Jemima V., one of SEPAL Guatemala's newest missionaries, recently shared her testimony with middle and high school students. As a Guatemalan national and the daughter of a local pastor, she is using her story to encourage young people in their faith journey. 🇬🇹

Pray that God would continue to use Jemima's life and testimony to impact students throughout Guatemala. 🙏

As part of our merger with One Challenge, we're excited to be part of a larger global network serving and equipping the Church around the world. Follow One Challenge for more stories and ministry updates like this one.

Honor One Another: Thoughts on Merging Well

June marks 9 months of becoming one organization. Throughout this journey, One Challenge and Entrust leaders sought God’s leading and learned biblical principles along the way. 🙌

We did not follow all these concepts perfectly. We hit bumps along the road. But by God’s mercy and a shared attitude of humility, we continue to learn and grow. 🤝🌱

• Pray for the board members, alumni, and their spouses who are traveling to Southern Africa on an OC vision trip.

• The vision trip opens a unique window for participants to be exposed to African ministry, learn from local believers, and celebrate how God is at work. Pray that all participants may have a truly life-changing experience!
• The visit presents an unusual opportunity to deepen connection between leaders and board members from both One Challenge USA and OC Africa. Pray that it may lead to increased collaboration between continents.

As we continue to see God provide for ministry around the world, we invite you to join us in praying for the faithful Financial Partners who help make this work possible 🙏:

• Pray for all our mission workers’ donors, that God would pour out blessings upon them as they choose to give to His kingdom work.
• Pray for the Holy Spirit to “hover” over our partners, to birth and create his plans for ministry, and a heart of generosity, to break bondages, and to bring revelation of his faithful provision. We ask God to allow us to center him, to allow our prayers of intercession to always and only be an extension of his work. We also ask that our giving partners would center Jesus to our organization.
• We pray that God would release resources from those who have heard our articulation of the vision and are in the process of deciding how God wants them to respond.
• Pray for God to bring partners with willing hearts.
• We pray the Ephesians 6 armor of God verses over partners, asking God to protect their hearts with the breastplate of righteousness, their minds from being infiltrated by thoughts from the Enemy with the helmet of salvation, and for His shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of circumstances that would prevent their financial support.

One of our ministry workers recently shared this encouraging reflection from a Women’s Bible study in Vienna. As women gathered to discuss Ephesians 6:4 and the relationship between parents and children, one participant, Linda, shared a powerful testimony of , grace, repentance, and restoration:

"When I reflect on Ephesians 6:4, I see my journey as a mother. I raised five daughters, having my first at 18 and my last at 31. As a single mother for some years, I faced financial stress and uncertainty. Without my own mother, who passed when I was 12, I had to learn parenting on my own. Through it all, my faith remained my constant.

Now that my daughters are grown, I can see more clearly what "provoking to anger" looked like in my home. At times, I was unpredictable, harsh in discipline, and inconsistent. I sometimes led with fear instead of guidance and was emotionally distant. These were not failures of love, but gaps in skills I did not have. What I never lacked was love for my daughters.

After reflecting on this passage as we studied Ephesians, I sat down with one of my daughters who still carried pain from her childhood. I chose to listen, acknowledge my mistakes, and ask for her forgiveness. Her response was deeply moving, and it brought healing to our relationship. This experience taught me that it is never too late to apply God's Word. Motherhood does not end—it evolves. Today, I am more mindful, more loving, and willing to ask for forgiveness. If there is one lesson I have learned, it is this: God's grace meets us in both our strengths and our shortcomings. And through humility and faith, healing is always possible."
