The Village: Why Small Monthly Gifts Make a Big Kingdom Impact

Somewhere in South Sudan, a small congregation gathers under a mango tree. Their pastor—once a refugee, now a trained church planter—opens his Bible and preaches the gospel in his mother tongue.

He walks to church because someone like you gave $50 a month to provide his training.

His church has clean water nearby because another person gave $25.

A new believer is growing in faith, thanks to women’s discipleship funded by a monthly giver.

The impact is real. It’s personal. It’s eternal.

And it all started with someone joining The Village.

“Empower One is fulfilling the Great Commission in a difficult-to-reach area of the world. I’ve always been led to partner with them, support them, and pray for them.”

— Jeff, Village Member since 2020


What Is The Village?

The Village is Empower One’s growing community of monthly givers. They want to walk with us. Build something lasting. Stand with local leaders. And see long-term transformation take root.

The Village is special. It’s made up of faithful people who give quietly, month after month, believing in the power of small seeds planted consistently over time.

Each monthly gift fuels the mission of Empower One:

  • Planting churches
  • Training leaders
  • Equipping women
  • Reaching unreached people across South Sudan, Sudan, and Congo

Together, we’re building the church where there is no church.


Why Monthly Giving Matters

Monthly giving may seem small. But in God’s economy, small things offered faithfully can spark unstoppable movements.

  • It helps us plan boldly.
  • It gives us margin to respond when needs arise.
  • It allows us to train, send, and support without delay.

Monthly gifts build the future.

“We choose to give monthly to Empower One because it’s an easy way to be a regular part of what God is doing… It’s a small way to remind our family that even people we don’t know across the planet are our brothers and sisters.”

— Michael, Village Member since 2023


The Heart Behind Monthly Giving

The Village isn’t about charity. It’s about discipleship. Giving monthly is a rhythm that mirrors the gospel itself: Steady. Faithful. Overflowing with life.

It’s a way to say with your giving: “I’ll be here next month—and the month after that—until every village hears.”

In a world that celebrates what’s flashy, the Kingdom celebrates what’s faithful.

“I view my giving to Empower One as an investment in God’s Kingdom—and there is no better return on that investment.”

— Derek, Village Member since 2020


What Your Monthly Gift Can Do

Every gift matters. Here’s how your monthly generosity makes a difference:

  • $25/month: Provides Bible materials for children’s discipleship
  • $50/month: Trains one church planter over the course of a year
  • $100/month: Supports outreach to unreached or conflict-affected villages
  • $250/month: Equips a pastor or student with a bicycle
  • $500/month: Sponsors four NEATS students for one full year

Your gift becomes part of the foundation we build on every single day.


The Vision You’re Sustaining

Empower One’s Vision 2032 is bold: Establish 15 Flagship Church Multiplication Centers across South Sudan, Sudan, and Congo.

Each flagship is a regional hub where:

  • Churches are planted and strengthened
  • Leaders are trained through NEATS and mobile schools
  • Women and youth are discipled
  • Clean water, education, and health support real needs
  • The gospel reaches nearby unreached villages

These centers aren’t just buildings. They are movement-makers that radiate hope across the region.

The Village provides the fuel that keeps them going.


A Voice from the Field

We’ve seen transformation in our whole region. This is not just about one church. It is about raising up leaders who will reach every village with the gospel.”

— Abiggo Manson, Empower One Africa Operations Director

Stories like this are happening every day because someone chose to give month after month. You may never meet the people you’re helping, but they feel your presence. They know someone is walking with them.


When You Join The Village

You’re not just giving. You’re joining a movement.

Each month, you’ll receive:

  • Stories and updates from the field
  • Prayer guides to walk in spiritual partnership
  • Invitations to special donor calls and events
  • The deep joy of knowing you’re part of the Great Commission

“EmpowerOne actually EMPOWERS! The mission is constant—to reach others with the love of Christ and foster dignity in a multiplying mission.”

— Diane, Village Member since 2022

“I give to Empower One because I know that God will use our offering to have an eternal impact on others who need Him.”

— Jenny, Village Member since 2021

“They are about people, about bringing the Gospel to those who haven’t heard… EmpowerOne is the real deal.”

— Marc, Village Member since 2021


Ready to Join?

It doesn’t take much. Just a little faith, a little generosity, and a willingness to keep showing up.

This is your invitation: to not just give, but to walk with us.

To say, month after month: Yes, I’ll help bring the gospel to every village.

Because every village has a story. And your gift helps write the next chapter.
