From the early beginnings in 1996, the team at One Way Ministries has walked alongside pastors and marketplace leaders, talking together, and listening carefully to what they had to say. Those initial discussions led to the development of a unique full-time ministry that seeks to advance the gospel by investing in the lives of Kingdom leaders.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Link Ottawa
Someone called ‘pastor’ may lead a large staff team, or work alone as the sole pastor of a small church. Others have been called to lead a ministry or para-church organization. The common element across all leaders is the call of God upon their heart to do His work, within the structure of His broader church. A leader has been defined as “a person who is well fitted to lead’. One Way Ministries strives to create the right atmosphere, and provide opportunities to constantly assist in both fitting God’s people well for leadership and ensuring they stay healthy throughout their leadership. Link Ottawa facilitates safe spaces where ministers, pastors and ministry leaders gather to:
- Strengthen their intimacy with Jesus.
- Build connections and friendships with other leaders.
- Discern, refine and live out their Kingdom call.
- Strengthen the other foundations from which they lead – healthy marriages, bodies, relationships and minds.

Love Ottawa
In the late spring of 2012, the existing Mission O team decided to initiate some major changes with the hope of moving the city-reaching effort in Ottawa to new heights. After consulting with many of the former Mission Ottawa leaders, who had been involved over the last 14 years, they approached One Way Ministries with the proposal to merge Mission O into our larger work and take advantage of our support system and leadership. In the Fall of 2012, Love Ottawa was launched. Love Ottawa seeks to be a catalyst for prayerful, collaborative outreach in every sphere and every neighbourhood of our city by:
- Providing resources and training events for missional engagement.
