One Focus
In the Lilly Endowment study of 30,000 mainline churches, it was determined that 99.5% of the churches evaluated were FAILING IN EVANGELISM.*
Like it or not, your church probably falls in the majority but it doesn’t have to be that way.
The ONE focus can transform your church from a group of believers into an active, progressive body of disciples. With the ONE focus, church members are equipped, inspired, challenged and recruited into active discipleship service for the Kingdom of God.

ONE — Growing Christians into Disciples
Reaching the world by reaching ONE. “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” John 13:35
The ONE FOCUS is a systematic, directional, evangelical focus that transfers the ministry of sharing Christ from the job of the pastors to the calling of the congregation.
ONE — Attracting Non-Believers and the Un-Churched
Through the activation of the church body into an Acts army, non-believers and
un-churched individuals will begin to experience the love of Christ demonstrated
outside the walls of the church. ONE, through systematic and continuous planned activities, sends each church member out into their world, their neighborhood, their schools and places of business, equipping them to show Christ to one specific person repeatedly for one full year. With an entire year of godly commitment to that un-churched or lost individual, a life is touched and forever changed, with another heart drawn toward Christ.
What others are saying about ONE FOCUS
“In all my years in ministry the OneFocus has the greatest longevity and connecting with people I have ever seen.”
John Avant Senior Pastor FBC West Monroe, LA and former Vice-President of the North American Mission Board
“We were all overwhelmed at Trinity Baptist when 89% of our church signed a commitment to be part of ONE FOCUS. Our congregation’s response knocked the top out of our expectations! Needless tosay, all the staff is elated that God is moving through our church, motivating and exciting our members with the ONE FOCUS initiative.”
Steve James, Senior Pastor
Trinity Baptist, Lake Charles, LA
“While the One Focus concept is simple, making it happen is not. One Focus provides us with all the tools we need to effectively share this simple vision with our people and see it become reality. The response we’ve had thus far is amazing - 91% have committed to One Focus this year! While it does involve a financial investment, every ministry we engage in costs money, and I’m convinced that for us it was money well spent.”
Philip Robertson, Senior Pastor
Philadelphia Baptist, Deville, LA
“ONE Focus is clearly a movement of God in our church. 98% of our attending members committed to ONE. Our members are praying and reaching out to their ONE and God is providing opportunities. I cannot wait to see what God is going to do here this year.”
Cyle Clayton. Senior Pastor

We’re grateful to the Lord for His leading our church to partner with ONE Focus. There’s a renewed spirit of anticipation that permeates throughout our church family. We’re seeing people come to faith in Christ every week. We heartily recommend Scotty, Mike, and the rest of the Life Catalyst team.”

Brad Marchman, Senior Pastor
Lawrence Drive Baptist Church, Macon, GA
“I am so excited about the launch of the One Focus. I believe God has given us a very clear plan for evangelism that will allow us to triple our number of baptisms. I am convinced the One Focus is going to be the catalyst that
launches our people out of their comfort zones to love and disciple their friends and to lead them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”
Kevin Cottrell, Pastor Of Missions/Evangelism
First Baptist Church, Broken Arrow, OK
“ONE Focus is something your church should consider doing. Scotty Sanders and Mike Walker have developed this from the ground up. It helps your church to focus like a laser in reaching people for Christ. I encourage you to take a look. You won’t work with finer people.”
Dr. David Uth, Senior Pastor
First Baptist Church, Orlando, Florida
* The Lilly Endowment Survey showed that one half of one percent of 30,000 congregations performed what were considered a significant number of adult baptisms.
