Our HISTORY
How did it all begin? Despite being very active in church and serving God in ministry, everything changed when we went to church one Sunday and came home feeling like that wasn’t enough! This feeling lingered over the next few weeks. Somehow, we could not shake it off. It seemed to get stronger and stronger. We went into 21 days of prayer, after which, God spoke to us to start a ministry. On the 28th of September 2008, ONE VOICE MINISTRIES was born. Over the years, we grew from the beginnings of ‘Catch the Vision, See the Future’ to a focus on missions, with ‘Teaching Leaders, Preaching Christ, Reaching Nations’.
While pursuing our Degree in Practical Theology, we came across the term ‘The 10/40 Window’ and that was when the heart of missions was birthed in us. We began to pray for God to open nations for us to reach the unreached and save the unsaved within Malaysia and beyond. As days changed to months and months changed to years, nations opened their doors to us, and to date, we have adopted 2 Orang Asli villages in Malaysia and planted a church in each village. To date, we have stepped into 10 different nations and counting around Asia.
In 2013, we set up Issachar Academy that focuses on training and equipping pastors, leaders and upcoming missionaries. As teachers in Music and Business, the love we had for the lost was so much stronger and after a year of prayer and fasting, in January 2014, we gave up everything and became full time missionaries for Christ. In 2017, we completed our PhD in Practical Ministry. The Lord led us to establish the Issachar Academy Mission Impact School in 2018 that focuses on training upcoming missionaries. This eventually grew as our students began to increase. We now offer a Certificate, Diploma, Associate Degree, Bachelors & Masters in Missions and Practical Ministry.
