Equipping Leaders to Meet Needs & Open Gospel Doors

At One Spark International, we equip indigenous pastors and leaders with practical skills—like English language training—that meet real needs in their communities and open doors to share the Gospel.

Shifting Mindsets: We help leaders move beyond rote memorization methods and understand that interactive, engaging approaches can help children truly understand and grow in their faith.

Hands-On Training: We introduce creative, age-appropriate methods like storytelling, role-playing, games, songs, and object lessons that resonate with young hearts and minds.
Practical Resources: Leaders learn how to create simple, culturally relevant Bible lessons using the limited resources available to them—whether in a small village church or a rice field under a tree.

Why Focus on Children’s Ministry Training

A Missed Opportunity: In many Southeast Asian cultures, Biblical teaching is often reserved for adults, while children are expected to simply memorize facts without understanding. We teach leaders that children are capable of knowing, understanding, and sharing their faith—even at a young age.

Biblical Foundation: Jesus emphasized the importance of children in God’s kingdom. We help pastors understand the biblical mandate to invest in children and how doing so can impact entire families and communities.
Multiplying Impact: A child who encounters Jesus becomes a natural evangelist in their home, sharing the truth with parents and siblings. Teaching children multiplies the Gospel's reach far beyond the classroom.

A Tool for Connection: In many parts of Southeast Asia, English is seen as a bridge to opportunity—better jobs, education, and international relationships. By providing English classes, pastors can build trust with their communities and create natural, relational spaces to introduce the Gospel.
Access to Resources: English opens access to Bible-based training materials, discipleship tools, and global networks that are not available in their local languages.
Community Impact: English classes are not just lessons; they become Gospel-centered hubs where children and families experience the love of Christ through relationships with the teachers.
