Will you make room in your heart for one more?
Love One More is both a vision and a challenge, based on the lifestyle and message of Jesus. It is a vision of a world transformed by love – homes, communities and even nations, filled with peace, prosperity and purpose. It is a challenge based on the fact that everyone everywhere was created to experience the love of God and the love of a family. To reach those in need of this love, we invite you to make room in your heart, or even in your home, for one more.
For example, the love one more challenge could mean:
– Visiting a widow as if she was your mother
– Mentoring a teenager as if she was your daughter
– Reaching unreached groups with the gospel as if they were your own family
– Praying for a lost person as if he was your father
– Caring for a needy coworker as if he was your brother
– Opening your home to a child as if they were your own
– Extending over-the-top hospitality as God gives opportunity
– Becoming radically generous and compassionate in Jesus’ name
Our Impact Vision:
- the transformation of one more life, today and forever
- a vast replanting of strong family trees, in every part of the world
- millions of families seeking God’s kingdom first, extending His love in every direction
- the Great Commission of Jesus, fully and finally complete
- YOU, loving one more
Fundamentals
Just as God adopts “one more” into His family, we invite one more into ours.
We were all created to love and to be loved, therefore, we encourage everyone love one more.
Based on Matthew 6:33, we trust God to provide as we love one more.
What do participants in Love One More do?
Hopefully, they really do love one more! They adopt, mentor, foster, care, sponsor, send, befriend, reach out, share, protect, visit, host, provide and invite. They take Jesus’ commands seriously regarding love, compassion and generosity. For them, this is personal, not just theoretical.

What is success for Love One More?
Success is when one more person experiences the love of God and the love of a family. Our hope is that by casting the vision far and wide, we can spark new activity rooted in Christian love, inspiring believers to love others the way Jesus loves them. We aim to spur people on toward “love and good deeds” by creating a relational community where loving one more is a way of life. Thus, our approach is to invite the maximum number of people to love one more, provide encouraging resources to as many as we can, and offer inspirational connection points. The hard work, however, is up to you. Will you love one more?
