A Ministry of One Way Global Inc.We Didn't Build This to Sell Software. We Built It Because We Needed It.
My Virtual Pastor was created by One Way Global, a 501(c)(3) ministry that has planted and overseen 9,000+ churches around the world.
Where it began
It Started With a Problem in the Mission Field.
In Bhutan, reaching some church leaders meant spending most of a day in transit before discipleship could even begin. Leaders needed encouragement between visits, but distance made personal, daily support impossible.

An early field result
Then We Saw What Was Possible.

planted 134 micro-churches and led 781 people to Christ in 9 months.
This was not a marketing test. It was an early ministry experience equipping faithful people without formal ministry training through simple, repeatable discipleship tools.
From field to local church
What Started in the Mission Field Became a Tool for Churches Everywhere.
Pastors began asking to use the same discipleship system in their own congregations. That request led to a church version of My Virtual Pastor: the same practical ministry framework, shaped for each local church.
Your church can have its own branded discipleship app.
The technology came from ministry. The ministry was never created to serve the technology.

We've Been Doing This Long Before We Built the App.

Churches planted & overseen
My Virtual Pastor didn't create our ministry. Our ministry created My Virtual Pastor.
One Way's years of making disciples, planting churches, and equipping leaders shaped the problem, the method, and the tool.
Why spiritual health
You Can't Shepherd What You Can't See.
Someone can attend church every Sunday and still struggle with prayer, Scripture, obedience, evangelism, generosity, or discipling others — and their pastor often has no way of knowing.
The Spiritual Garden gives people a simple way to see their own growth and gives church leaders a clearer picture of who may need encouragement.
We're not trying to help churches get more app users. We're trying to help churches make better disciples.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who created My Virtual Pastor?
One Way Global Inc., the 501(c)(3) nonprofit behind One Way Ministries International.
Is My Virtual Pastor a software company?
No. It runs on real technology — including AI — but it wasn't built by a software company chasing a market. It was built by a ministry that needed a way to disciple people at scale, and the technology exists to serve that need, not the other way around.
Why does it cost anything if One Way is a nonprofit?
Running AI-powered features — the Spiritual Garden, in-app Bible search, and discipleship coaching — has real computing costs behind it. What churches pay covers those costs. It's not profit, and it's not buying software — it's covering what it actually takes to keep the technology running, the same way any ministry has real costs to keep the lights on.
Why should I trust My Virtual Pastor?
Because it was developed from actual ministry experience and has been used in real disciple-making and church-planting environments around the world.
Can my church have its own app?
Yes. Your church can have a branded discipleship app with your church's identity, content, and pathway, built on the same ministry-tested system.
What's the goal of My Virtual Pastor?
To help churches make disciples beyond Sunday.
