In 2023 OneGospel Ministries e.V. was birthed out of a love for the local church and a desire to see her strong and uncompromising in an increasingly hostile world.
As a former missions representative and pastor, our founder has been well-connected to churches and their leaders for a number of years, giving him opportunity to appreciate the high administrative and shepherding demand on pastors. Many of these leaders have voiced their desire to see opportunities for their congregations to dig deeper into matters of faith that is provided outside of a Sunday service or small group.
OneGospel Ministries e.V. makes it its mission to serve and support the church and try to offer in-depth biblical/theological training to believers on a wide range of topics.
Our Vision
OneGospel Ministries exists to boldly proclaim to an unreached world that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.
We envision to strengthen the local church with God-honoring, Bible-based and Christ-centered resources. Our aim is to awaken an eagerness in the church through the study and exposition of the one faith passed down through the generations of believers.
We want to instill an unshakable commitment to the full counsel of God’s one saving gospel .
our mission
Our Mission is to strengthen church leaders in their shepherding roles within their local community. We aim to provide laypeople with biblical truth, enabling them to grow roots and stand firm on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Through the pulpit and teaching ministry, we aspire to see believers develop into eager and discerning disciples of Christ as they are instructed on deeper theological issues. We envision to bolster the spiritual health of the church, as it fulfills Christ’s commission through the preaching of the infallible, inerrant Word of God .
Our Team
Anthony Henderson
Founder / President
Anthony was born in the summer of 1986 in West-Berlin. His father, a US soldier from Washington DC was stationed in the city during the Allied occupation. His mother, a native of the city, attended weekly church services with Anthony and his five siblings. At the age of 9, at his grandmother’s bedside, he firstly professed Christ as Lord and Savior.
His family relocated to the Eastern United States when Anthony was 12 years of age. There he attended youth group, participated in church life and completed his High School education. At the age of 16, while on his first missions trip to eastern Europe, Anthony felt the call to the pulpit ministry. He enrolled at Briercrest College & Seminary, Canada’s largest bible college. In 2010, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Theology.
In 2006, Anthony was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer of the Lymph nodes. Surrounded by a wall of prayer, he underwent both chemotherapy and radiation treatment, he successfully beat the spread of the disease.
Since 2011, Anthony has settled back in Germany where he met Mirjam, his wife. They married in 2016 and have since been blessed with their three sons. They make their home in Bad Waldsee, Baden-Wuerttemberg. Since 2018, Anthony has been enrolled at the European Bible Training Centre (EBTC), pursuing his Master of Divinity degree. He hopes to complete his studies by the end of 2024.
For almost three years, Anthony served as pastor of a growing and dynamic church in Lindau at Lake Constance. One of his many hobbies includes travel. Since 2011, Anthony has also been crisscrossing the globe as a Flight Attendant, currently working part-time for SWISS International Airlines with base in Zurich, Switzerland.
Jonas Leihenseder
Media Design / Vize-President
Jonas was born in summer of 2001 in the beautiful Hohenloher region. He was brought up in the Christian faith by his parents from an early age and attended the local church, where he was active in the Royal Rangers for a long time, allowing him to grow in his relationship with Christ and other Christians.
In 2019, Jonas completed his Abitur in the district of Heilbronn. As he was still undecided about his career path, he decided to do a voluntary social year (FSJ) and accomplished this within the Christian organisation AVC (Aktion für verfolgte Christen und Notleidende) in Hesse. During this year, Jonas was able to grow spiritually and socially, learnt many practical skills and, among other things, made the acquaintance of Anthony. A deep friendship developed, which remained even after the FSJ.
In early 2021, Jonas pursued his plans to go to university and moved to Bad Waldsee (Ravensburg) together with the Hendersons, who moved further south at the same time. In Weingarten, Jonas studied computer science and economics for two semesters, but it soon became clear that it was not the right choice of studies.
In 2022, he therefore started a job as a flight attendant in Zurich (Switzerland) at Swiss International Airlines, where he hopes to train as a pilot in the future. The job allows him to see many parts of the world and the irregular working days give him the opportunity to use his time at home for OneGospel Ministries e.V.
Jonas really enjoys creative work and through his voluntary work at church (managing the website and YouTube channel, etc.) he has been able to acquire many new skills in this area. This is now also being brought in handy for OneGospel Ministries e.V. and he is working with passion to bring the good news of Jesus Christ into the world.
