ABOUT JOSHUA ONE MINISTRIES
Joshua One Ministries is a nonprofit Christian ministry devoted to making disciples of Jesus Christ through preaching, teaching and training in the United States and Latin America.
A “disciple” is at least two things:
• a learner: A disciple of Christ loves to study God’s Word. A disciple is always hungry to learn more about God and Christ and the Kingdom.
• an imitator: A disciple of Christ has accepted Jesus’ call to “follow Me.” A disciple wants to think like Jesus thinks and feel like Jesus feels, to have Jesus’ priorities and follow His example. This is possible only through the supernatural transformation that occurs as Christ fills us with His Spirit.
Some of Joshua One’s projects include:
• Race Thru the Bible seminar: from Genesis to Revelation in 6-8 hours.
• Race Thru the Bible in a Year: an online Bible study community.
• Joshua One blog: Christian teaching and commentary since 2005.
• Discipleship University: on online discipleship training program.
• Costa Rica For Christ: a strategic partnership with native pastors and churches to encourage evangelism and church planting, including an annual short-term evangelism trip to C.R.
Our detailed mission statement is available here: The Joshua One Manifesto.
We have a special interest in supporting and encouraging the fellowship of independent Christian churches of the Restoration Movement, in which we have worshipped and served all of our lives.
Donations to Joshua One Ministries are most welcome and are tax-exempt.

ABOUT THE JOSHUA ONE BLOG
In December 2005, Rod and Terry launched a blog, Terra Extraneus, which means “Strange World!” During 2006, they wrote about 300 blog posts on a variety of topics, including faith, politics, law, books and movies. At the beginning of 2007, they divided their blog content between two blogs, redefining Terra Extraneus as a law blog and transferring about 150 faith- and ministry-related posts to this blog, Joshua One. The Joshua One blog went online on Feb. 6, 2007.
In 2006, Terry and Rod also began developing ideas for a preaching and teaching ministry. At the same time, Terry agreed to a request that he become the U.S. ambassador and support-raiser for a group of native-led churches in Costa Rica. With such activities under way, Terry and Rod incorporated Joshua One Ministries as a nonprofit ministry (nonprofit status pending) to serve as an umbrella for Costa Rica For Christ, the Joshua One blog, and other ministry projects on the drawing boards.
