One Life One Chance Ministries www.onelifeonechance.ca One Life One Chance Ministries is a Canadian charity founded in 2007, based in Chilliwack, BC.

One Life serves in the San Quintin Valley, Baja, Mexico supporting local indigenous ministries, encouraging the Church, and bringing the love and hope of Jesus Christ to people and communities. We use Los Olivos, a local recreation park, as our operations centre to connect with indigenous ministries by being a neutral ministry site and using the property as a basecamp for serving teams. Providing shelter and basic needs, support in communities can be as significant as a new, secure home or a nourishing meal. All of this is done through the local church. With multi-year plans to develop everything from a children’s shelter and educational facility, to basic medical and social services at Los Olivos, One Life is in for the long-term. In all these things, the goal is leading people to Jesus Christ. If our aid gives indigenous ministries a hand-up and the Base provides infrastructure, basic needs will be met, and the local church empowered to fulfill their calling to make Jesus Christ known in their communities. God has called One Life to the San Quintin Valley for this time to support and to help equip His Church and to see lives transformed for His glory. The vision for One Lfe was borne out of more than 20 years of cross-cultural ministry in Mexico, Uganda, Haiti and Thailand begun by its sister organization, Stoney Creek Expeditions.

As we celebrate 20 years of One Life One Chance, we're reminded that the impact of God's work goes far beyond building a house.

This home was built 10 years ago, and this family is THRIVING! They've even expanded their home as their needs have grown.

What a blessing to see the lasting impact of what God has done through His Church.

After the Storm, Hope Begins to Rise. ❤️🏠

Just days ago, we shared Marcela’s story. Strong winds had badly damaged the home she shares with her three children in the San Quintín Valley.

Today, hope is taking shape! 🙏

Thanks to local pastors, volunteers, and generous supporters, construction has officially begun on a safe, dry shelter for this family. Day 1 brought the pouring of a new concrete foundation and, most importantly, smiles and renewed hope.

Psalm 23:4 reminds us that even in our darkest valleys, God walks beside us. ❤️

Thank you to everyone helping turn compassion into action. This is just the beginning!

Three Children. One Mother. A Home That Needs Hope. ❤️🏠

In the San QuintĂ­n Valley, Marcela and her three children are facing difficult living conditions after strong winds badly damaged their small home, leaving their mattresses soaked and the children sleeping in the cold.

Our team in Mexico recently visited the family and is working toward building a small, safe space where they can stay warm, dry, and protected.

At One Life, we believe faith is love put into action. 🙏❤️

You can be part of Marcela's story. Through prayer, generosity, and compassion, we can help bring hope and a brighter tomorrow to this family.

As the family stepped into their new home, heartfelt hugs, shared Scripture, and moments of gratitude reminded everyone why this mission matters.

What began as a building project became something far greater: a beautiful reminder of God's love, the power of community, and the hope that comes from serving others.

🙏 Thank you, Main Street Church , for sharing not just your time and talents, but your hearts.

❤️ One Life. Changing lives, one family at a time.

The Home Was Built. The Relationships Made It Special.

Beyond the hard work and construction, some of the most meaningful moments were spent simply connecting, sharing stories, and celebrating together.

The Main Street Church multi-generational team brought more than helping hands. They brought laughter, compassion, and a genuine love for the people they came to serve.

As we've mentioned already, recent hurricane damage and flooding have left many families facing incredible hardship. The need is overwhelming, far greater than what we can possibly meet on our own.

Please pray for the families who have lost so much, for the local pastors and teams serving their communities, and for God's continued provision, protection, and guidance.

We may not be able to meet every need, but we know we serve a God who can.

More Than a Home. A New Beginning.

After days of hard work, teamwork, and hearts dedicated to serving, the Main Street Church multi-generational team celebrated the completion of a beautiful new home for a deserving family.

But the most meaningful moments weren't about the building itself. They were the hugs, the gratitude, the prayers, and the relationships formed along the way.

Thank you, Mainstreet Church, for bringing God's love to life through your generosity, compassion, and willingness to serve.

From a House to a Home.

The finishing touches are often the ones that mean the most.

After all the hard work of building, the Main Street Church multi-generational team helped transform the space into a welcoming home, complete with beds, kitchen essentials, and thoughtful personal touches.

Every detail was a reminder that this project was about more than four walls. It was about creating a place of comfort, dignity, and new beginnings.

Every detail matters when you're building a place for a family to call home.

The Main Street Church multi-generational team continued their incredible work alongside One Life, helping frame interior walls and bring the home another step closer to completion.

From the big milestones to the smallest details, every volunteer played a part in making a lasting difference.

Thank you, Mainstreet Church, for giving your time, sharing your skills, and putting God's love into action.

❤️ Encouraging Those Who Serve Others.

This week, our One Life team had the blessing of visiting Pastor Edgar, a hardworking and joyful leader with a heart for serving his community.

Through our Pastoral Support Ministry, we were grateful to share essential supplies, encouragement, and a reminder that those who dedicate their lives to serving others deserve to feel supported and loved, too.

Pastor Edgar shared his heartfelt gratitude and sent a simple message to everyone making this ministry possible: “God bless you all.” 🙏

❤️ At One Life, we're not just supporting ministries. We're strengthening the people behind them.
