Faith Driven Entrepreneur Foundation Study
Every Friday beginning October 4th for 8 weeks
7:00 am – 8:00 am
on ZOOM
Joining a Faith Driven Entrepreneur Group means joining a community of people who, perhaps for the first time in your life, can really empathize with your journey of entrepreneurship. Sometimes, even the people who love us the most cannot relate to the struggles that an entrepreneur faces daily…let alone, a Faith Driven Entrepreneur.
One hour a week for 8 weeks, you will connect with 10-15 like-minded entrepreneurs to walk through the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Foundation Study and discuss what it means to embrace your call to create and fulfill God’s purpose for your life and work.

Pastors' Luncheon: Sustainable New Prayer Strategy by Ottawa Churches
2024-10-24 12:00 - 13:30 | Gloucester Presbyterian Church, 91 Pike St.,, Ottawa, Canada
October 24, 12:00 – 1:30 pm,
Gloucester Presbyterian Church, 91 Pike St., Ottawa
Pastors, please RSVP to janice@onewayministries.ca today, and save the date!
Our Lord Jesus declared that His church would be a “house of prayer for all nations” (Mark 11:17) echoing the words of the prophet Isaiah from centuries before. We believe that the Lord is building the Church in Ottawa into a unified, multicultural people of prayer, and thus we seek to align ourselves to this beautiful work.
The desire to unify in prayer in Ottawa is a growing one. At the April 2024 Capitalize conference, Steve and Patti Buss from the City of Eugene, Oregon, shared their story of how the church in their city of Eugene has united in strategic prayer to positively impact their community. It’s a strategy called “One Church, One Day” (OCOD).
Churches take one day per month to pray for their congregation and the city. The Community Prayer Guide for Ottawa, provided each month, will also significantly help inform our prayers for our shared communities.
We believe the OCOD approach would dovetail beautifully with the growing networks of prayer among pastors and increase the felt sense of that connection at the congregational level.
Would you come and hear about this work? Your congregation could be part of this new united prayer strategy of praying for your own congregation and for the city through a realistic, sustainable commitment from your members.

Unir pour prier stratégiquement

Notre Seigneur Jésus a déclaré que son Église serait « une maison de prière pour tous les peuples » (Marc 11.17) en citant un passage du prophète Isaïe écrit des siècles auparavant. Nous sommes convaincus que le Seigneur bâtit son Église à Ottawa pour en faire une maison de prière habitée par un peuple multiculturel et uni. C’est pourquoi nous voulons prendre part à cette œuvre merveilleuse.
À Ottawa, le désir de s’unir dans la prière grandit. En avril 2024, lors de la conférence Capitalyze, Steve et Patti Buss, de la ville d’Eugene en Oregon, ont expliqué comment les églises d’Eugene se sont unies pour prier stratégiquement de manière à avoir une influence positive sur leur ville. Cette stratégie est appelée « Une Église – Un Jour ».
Les églises réservent une journée du mois pour prier pour leurs membres et leur ville. Le guide mensuel de prière pour Ottawa fournit des sujets de prière qui nous aideront grandement à prier pour nos quartiers et assemblées.
Nous croyons que cette stratégie cohabiterait facilement avec les réseaux de prière qui se développent parmi les pasteurs et renforcerait le sentiment de solidarité entre les assemblées.
Voudriez-vous en savoir plus? Votre assemblée pourrait adopter cette nouvelle stratégie pour prier dans l’unité en faveur de ses membres et de la ville. Elle ne demanderait de la part de votre Église qu’un investissement en temps réaliste et supportable.
Notre équipe tiendra une séance d’information bilingue de 90 minutes couplée d’un repas, à midi, le 21 novembre 2024, dans les locaux de One Way Ministries, 89 Auriga Drive à Ottawa. Soyez des nôtres.
Que le Seigneur vous bénisse.

Pastors and Entrepreneurs Conference 2026
2026-03-05 08:30 - 11:30
Thursday, March 5, 2026
8:30 am – 11:30 am
At One Way Ministries
Who is discipling you in your work? Not your Sunday attendance. Not your personal faith life. But the real decisions you carry every day — hiring, firing, risk, pressure, growth, money, leadership.
Many faith-driven entrepreneurs are building faithfully… but largely alone. And that was never the design. We’re gathering a group of entrepreneurs and pastors to change that.
Last year, something significant happened when entrepreneurs and pastors gathered in the same room:

Entrepreneurs realized they’re not alone
Pastors began to understand the weight you carry
A new kind of partnership started forming—not transactional, but discipleship in the context of real work

We named the gap honestly: many entrepreneurs feel unseen by the Church, and many churches don’t yet know how to walk with entrepreneurs. But when that changes…everything changes.
This isn’t a conference you attend and leave unchanged. It’s a room you step into with others who are building, risking, leading, and seeking to follow Jesus in it.
One more invitation – If you have a pastor who knows you—or who should know the weight you carry, would you consider inviting them to come with you? This room becomes even more powerful when you don’t come alone.
