01
Mass evangelism
Five-day campaigns proclaim Jesus as Lord. Local congregations prepare, host and follow up with those who respond.
The work on the ground
Gospel proclamation that leads somewhere.
Jesus Christ remains at the center. Campaigns are prepared with local pastors, followed by discipleship, and connected to the long work of healthy local churches.
02
Church planting
Ethiopian leaders establish congregations where the Gospel has not had a strong presence, building local capacity beyond a single event.
03
Pioneer mission
Mission aviation and field teams extend access to remote communities, with practical help where roads cannot.
“The mission is to take the Gospel to the most remote places on earth.”Joshua Campaign vision

Powered by One Chance
Distinct identity. Shared assignment.
Joshua Campaign keeps its own story, leadership and field identity while standing in clear alignment with the One Chance conviction: give every person one chance to hear the Gospel. Operation 326 puts that conviction to work by identifying frontier gaps and helping prayer, pioneers and resources move toward them.
The connections shown here are shared mission and public ministry relationships. They do not imply that these distinct ministries are legally controlled by Joshua Campaign.

Mission One Eleven
A twelve-week train-and-deploy pathway that raises a new generation of missionaries for practical engagement among unreached peoples, with mobilization hosted through OCFEP.
PCG
PCG Global Missions
Provides a wider global church family and mission context—one mission and one movement, serving until the whole world hears.
The Joshua Campaign way
Keep the roots. Strengthen the reach.
Three commitments shape the work: proclaim Jesus through mass evangelism, mobilize local churches, and build mission networks. The scripture and the longer account live with the mission.
