"One thing I really appreciate about this programme... leadership content that is centred on Christ... having Jesus as the model has been transformational... he is the best leadership guru."

In 2024 One Rock marked several major achievements:

Completing the online Institute at www.onerockinstitute.com. Hours of videos, articles and resources for Institute members, and the questions to help members put together their Rhythm of Life, Vision Profile and Leadership Plan.
Design of Pathways modules on How To Pray , Jesus on Leadership and Servant Leadership .
Joining the L4 Lausanne event in Seoul, the fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization, gathering with 5000 global mission leaders.
Meeting partners at Lausanne , including Institute team leaders and members from Kenya, Zambia, Uganda, India and Germany.
Successfully navigating a leadership transition of our key partners in Rwanda, whilst still growing the Institute numbers there.
Merging of the European and African cohorts online, to create a global community of leaders working through the Institute course together.

Over the coming pages you can read stories and testimonies from Institute members and One Rock partners around the globe, plus see our financial reports.

RWANDA STORIES

Institute workshops and seminars took place in Kigali, and partnerships were explored for delivering future leadership training for the Ministry of Local Government, the Protestant University of Rwanda, Beyond Success, Groupe Biblique Universitaire du Rwanda, and Africa New Life Church.

“The methods used during the sessions were so amazing... the Nature of the Soul and the Cycle of Grace have not only been brain-teasers but also captivating… Leadership was a reflection and allowed us to learn based on typical leaders we happened to work with… in a nutshell, today was amazing.”

“Your teaching method is really outstanding. I appreciate the three days, they are the best classes I have ever attended. At the end of our workshop days I was still hungry to learn more and not ready to leave. I have never felt like this after any other training workshops.”

"My highlight for today was this statement, 'Christianity without spiritual formation is Christianity without Christ.'"

“My name is Salim, I’m a business person. And I’m very happy to be part of the 2024 cohort. From this weekend, the Introduction weekend that we’ve had, I learned a lot. But mostly the values of a good leader. And I aspire to be a good leader, with integrity, with vision. And I see One Rock as that place where I will learn to live out those values. I’m looking to have a community of people that we share values, that we share vision, that can help to reach out to the people we want to reach. And I’m also looking forward to spiritual formation. I want to be a leader that is also led by the Spirit of God, doing things

for God and for God’s people.” Salim Mbarushimana

“My name is Sheila and I’m a physiotherapist. The program so far has been amazing. My highlight so far is that I’ve learned about selfawareness. As an aspiring leader I believe it’s important to be self-aware. We’ve also made connections, and learned from other people’s experiences as well.” Sheila Witty Kayitesi

“My name is Bosco. I have been part of the One Rock Institute training in the 3[rd] cohort. I finished my training, and I can really say it was a very important training that I needed in my life. It has helped me grow and I can recommend it to everybody who wants to grow. I learned a lot in terms of self discovery, which is something I really enjoyed. Self discovery is the beginning of a lot of things in ones life. Second there is a thing about leadership, and it’s a thing I came to realise I didn’t know about. Leaders take credit on behalf of the team when it comes to success. But when it comes to failure, leaders are supposed to take ownership of whatever happened. Not every leader does that. During the training we came to understand that as a leader who takes credit during success, you should also take ownership during the time things go south. And that really struck me. It’s a very good training. You can learn a lot from it. Also connect with people from all over the world. We learn from the best.” Bosco Habineza

“My name is Gaelle. I joined the program last year and I had a specific interest in the vision profile part of the program. I wasn’t interested in the leadership program. Surprisingly one year later I have learned more from the leadership part.

I’m a result-oriented person, always focussed on the results, less focussed on people. But I have learned that people should be the priority, and with the servant leadership style you will achieve more results, more effective results. For me that is my key take away. I used to think that the servant leadership style is for weak people, and with that style you cannot achieve anything. And that is so wrong! Thanks to One Rock Institute to have outlined the program. For me it was a wakeup call. And it’s very clear. It was a realisation we need people. If you are a result-oriented person we need people, And also how to set a health environment for that. With that in place you can achieve everything. Thank you so much for the program. It’s a blessing for everyone who has the opportunity to join the program.” Gaella Ingabire

UK STORIES

“We truly got a lot out of the day and appreciate everything.” Alexander Karam

“I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting… it was valuable, as always! We are looking forward to applying the skills we gained and hope to keep you updated on how we get on!” Chanel Siriboe-Boateng

Alongside the Institute, One Rock delivered a SERVE workshop for London City Mission, attended by 63 people working as evangelists and core staff.

“The day has exceeded all expectations.” Graham Miller, CEO of London City Mission . Graham describes himself as Chief Servant Officer having been so impacted by the SERVE model when he first came across it ten years ago.

“There was overwhelming support for using the SERVE model more formally in London City Mission. The top most-used words to describe people’s reaction to using the model in LCM were Inspired, Useful, Excited and Servant Hood… Furthermore 41% gave a score of 4/5 in their support for using the model and 38 % gave a score of 5/5.” Christian Fielder, Director of People & Organizational Development .

To help embed these concepts over the next year, LCM will be using a Pathways module on servant leadership, created by One Rock, allowing them to have small group discussions and coaching conversations. We will follow up with another workshop next year, and also with further Pathways modules.

SOUTH EAST ASIA STORIES

"This was a very, very helpful journey for me to go through."

"It's not like a course, it's like a lifestyle. I love the model of the bus. I will never forget this - putting the right people in the right seats."

"Skills will take you places, character will help you stay."

“One Rock saved my life literally, having a mentor who gave me all the time I needed to heal and process, meeting others and laughing together was what I needed. The most meaningful experience was being able to get rededicated to God during the retreat last year – this changed everything going forward. My whole life got better including my marriage and self-esteem. I am looking forward to regaining my vision for the ministry.”

Steven has a heart for God, and as someone of Indian heritage in Malaysia his mission is to reach out to migrant workers, who are

predominantly of Hindu descent and in need of the gospel.” Stephen Daniel

“From our church 7 people participated in the One Rock Institute this year and it was a such a divine opportunity and blessing to us… we are learning a lot and are being blessed so much! Please pray for our nation and for the spiritual revival in our country!”

Gerle and her husband are planting a church in Mongolia, in a town with no other Christian presence. Christianity came to Mongolia only 33 years ago a lot of work remains to be done in the area of evangelism and discipleship of

young people. The biggest mission field is in the marketplace. Gerle Odgerel

“People in the digital world are not very ‘relational’; they do not know how to make friends, everyone is just starring at the screen. But they need God to help them connect with reality, not to run away from it; there is an overwhelming crisis of mental health among those caught up in the web. And now those

online are not even teens, they are children. One Rock gave me tools and more confidence to share Jesus. My vision is to help the young generation who are searching for connection and love online to find it in God.”

Young Lee is a young entrepreneur in Malaysia, with a vision to have an impact for God in the digital sphere. She works full time for TikTok and is also on a mission committee at her local church. Young Lee

Justine moved from Singapore to the small town of Kota Kinabalu as she felt a need to work with the indigenous groups there, however realising that learning the language and breaking down the cultural barriers will take a lot of time she decided to focus on her strengths and passions and raising awareness where and how she can best. Justina and her brother opened a café, that serves as a hub for the community, they invested the money they inherited from their parents, employ only autistic and disabled young people, which is a very new form of social enterprise in Malaysia. With her original passion for the indigenous groups Justine supports finally and joins in with social work where she can. She is still hoping to learn the language and maybe create some jobs for those who are in the outstations across the vast area of Borneo.

“I was interested to come to study at this training about leadership because I would like to become a leader. They teach people about leadership, but based on the bible. And in the Bible we have seen that the leadership of Jesus Christ was good, and it is better to follow that leadership. I expect to study different values to be constructive in this leadership training. Because of those values, I will be basing my leadership on the Bible and expect to be a good leader.”

COACHING STORIES

We’ve trained scores of coaches in 2024, and involved 50 coaches as volunteers, delivering around 750 hours of coaching conversations for Institute members.

“This was an amazing week.” Joseph Morris

“We had an amazing time.” Jim Bryant

“I really appreciated the coaching workshop day we had… to get us familiar with all the coaching models and be able to ask our questions. Plus your materials we looked at before the trip were very straight-forward and helpful.” Jason Rich

“Had a GREAT call [coaching conversation] with Lee. It’s amazing how similar our paths are right now. Very cool to be connected. He’s excited about the cohort.” Josh Crowe

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

ONE ROCK INTERNATIONAL

I have examined the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on page 13.

Respective Responsibilities of Directors/Trustees and Examiner

The directors/trustees of the company are responsible for the preparation of accounts; they consider that the audit requirements under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 do not apply but that an independent examination is needed. I have been appointed to conduct an Independent Examination required by section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and to report in accordance with the regulations made under section 145 of that Act. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts, without performing an audit, and to report to the trustees.

Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

(1) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;

(2) follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011;

(3) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Examiner's Statement

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, and in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity, and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a review of the accounts and making such enquiries as are necessary for the purpose of this report. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Examiner's Statement

Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records, or comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006. No matter has come to my notice in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts.
