ONE KC at Kaw Prairie
February 21 – April 4, 2021
What is ONE KC?
ONE KC is part of a global movement that is completely focused on saturating cities around the world with the Good News of Jesus!
The vision is completely focused on Jesus.
Major cities, including Kansas City, Hong Kong, and Accra (Ghana) are each rallying hundreds of churches to teach the Gospel of Mark in weekend gatherings during Lent 2021.
Utilizing the Bible.is app, thousands of participants around the world will simultaneously experience the life of Jesus by listening to 10-minute audio segments of the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John, in their native language.
They may also choose to gather — in-person or online — on a weekly basis with friends and family to watch a word-for-word video retelling of the life of Jesus from the book of Mark.
40 days. ONE Word. ONE Church. ONE Lord.
Invite a Friend
Eight out of 10 people say they are willing to participate in an experience when asked by a friend they trust. But only 2% of people ask those in their circles to join them for a Bible engagement experience.
Sometimes all it takes is a simple ask to share the good news of Jesus!

How did ONE KC get started?
In March 2019, 300 churches in Hong Kong began a movement. The churches came together behind a common experience for Lent (the 40 days leading up to Easter). They called it ONE. Their united goal was to saturate their city with the good news of Jesus. During this six-week season, thousands of people listened to the entire Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts through a Bible listening app called Bible.is. The result? Countless testimonies of life transformations and many coming to know Jesus!
The impact was so great, that they repeated the experience in 2020, and are now expanding the movement of church unity across international borders. The Hong Kong churches invited Kansas City to participate with them for Lent 2021.
The challenge was set: partner with hundreds of local, diverse churches to teach the good news of Jesus from the book of Mark on the weekends and encourage 300,000 people to listen to the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John in their native languages during the week and meet together with friends one day each week to watch and listen together to the Gospel of Mark on a video platform.
Centered in the middle of the United States, Kansas City is one of the most diverse cities in the country – in fact, an estimated 65 languages are spoken among children in metro area schools. The world has come to our city, bringing with it a tremendous kingdom opportunity.
Regardless of reading ability, the Bible.is app, developed by Faith Comes by Hearing, makes it possible for all of these different people groups to engage with the Word of God! Will you consider joining to help spread the Gospel?
