What is Billion.Global?
Billion.Global is a network of ministry partners collaborating to reach one billion people with the Gospel.
El origen
Esta visión nació de una carga puesta en el corazón de Bob Fetherlin, el actual presidente de One Mission Society (OMS)
One Mission Society es una organización misionera, asociada con más de 180 organizaciones y 30 denominaciones para compartir el evangelio de Jesucristo y multiplicar comunidades de discípulos alrededor del mundo.
OMS launched the Billion.Global Vision on July 1, 2016 during its biannual international conference in Marion, Indiana, and now the vision has grown to include partners beyond the organization’s
influence.
Nuestro Credo
Nos comprometemos a amar a Dios y a nuestro prójimo con todo nuestro corazón, aquellos que viven cerca de nosotros y aquellos que viven alrededor del mundo.
Nos comprometemos a amar a las personas abundantemente al darles la oportunidad de escuchar, entender y creer en las Buenas Nuevas de Jesucristo a aquellos que no han escuchado.
Oramos que Dios tome nuestros esfuerzos y los multiplique para que, en un periodo de 10 años (2016-2026), por lo menos mil millones de personas tengan la oportunidad de responder al Evangelio

Our Team
Bob Fetherlin
Serving as One Mission Society’s President from 2014-2022, Bob has stepped aside from that role to help coordinate Billion.Global . He is passionate to see everyone have opportunity to know and follow Jesus, growing into reproducing disciples in Christ-centered communities of faith. Having previously served in West Africa, Bob has been involved in leading Christian mission efforts with The Christian and Missionary Alliance and One Mission Society.
Dave Oakley
A microbiologist by training, Dave took early retirement from Eli Lilly and Company and helps to coordinate Billion.Global. With God’s enablement and a persevering approach, Dave has been instrumental in engaging many new Billion.Global partners, discerning how the strengths of one organization could offset the weaknesses of another, and connecting dots between Great Commission, Great Commandment organizations for cooperation.
Nathanael Saylor
With extensive experience in youth ministry, Nathanael now leads Victory Fellowship, a church that exists to see people experience God's freedom and God's family. God is using Nathanael and his family to bring fresh wind and fire to this church which was about to close. With expertise in marketing and communication, Nathanael oversees the Billion.Global website, hosts virtual gatherings, and keeps partners encouraged with progress reports.
Rick Warren
A Time magazine cover article named Rick Warren the most influential spiritual leader in America and one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Tens of millions of copies of Pastor Rick’s books have been published in 200 languages. His best known books, The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church, were named three times in national surveys of pastors (by Gallup, Barna, and Lifeway) as the two most helpful books in print.
Rick and his wife Kay founded Saddleback Church, the Purpose Driven Network, the PEACE Plan and Hope for Mental Health. He is cofounder of Celebrate Recovery with John Baker.
Pastor Rick has spoken in 165 nations. He has spoken at the United Nations, US Congress, numerous parliaments, the World Economic Forum, TED, Aspen Institute, and lectured at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and other universities.
Rick is executive director of Finishing the Task, a global movement of denominations, organizations, churches, and individuals working together on the Great Commission goals of ensuring that everyone everywhere has access to a Bible, a believer and a local body of Christ.
Steve Douglass
Prior to his promotion to Glory, Billion.Global was blessed by Steve's contributions as a consultant. He brought his 53 years of Cru experience, as well as extensive wisdom and knowledge in the areas of creating partner networks and fostering collaborative relationships to better the effectiveness of the Billion.Global vision. Billion.Global will be forever impacted by Steve's gracious input. In the words of Steve Douglass, "There are many ways to make a difference in people’s lives. But none is more significant than helping people establish a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.”
