Who’s Your One? is a personal evangelism initiative from the North American Mission Board (NAMB) that challenges every Christian to intentionally identify one person in their life who does not know Jesus, pray for their salvation consistently, and look for opportunities to share the gospel with them. The movement emphasizes that evangelism is not about reaching everyone at once—it’s about faithfully reaching the one God has placed on your heart. We have material at the Ashe Baptist Office.
