One Mandate

About Us

At One Mandate, we believe that the greatest expression of ministry the earth has ever seen is on our horizon. Awakening is springing forth in the United States and Nations abroad, and we’re honored to be the spark at the center of it! We’re a group of everyday disciples who are committed to seeing the Kingdom demonstrated through evangelistic campaigns, supporting nonIndigenous and local leaders, leadership development, and sustainable humanitarian aid.

We have one prayer, one desire, one mission, ONE MANDATE: To See Nations Ignited and Cities Transformed.

Meet Our Founder

Cody Graves is a passionate preacher, Kingdom-driven leader, podcast producer, and ministry founder.

His assignment of teaching and preaching God’s Word in a practical and relatable way is evident in his ability to produce remaining fruit regardless of the audience. By age 21, Cody had already ministered to thousands face-to-face in the United States and abroad. Cody’s burning desire to reach the unreached, and equip others to do the same, is visible in his life and ministry. Cody’s ministry is marked with uncommon faith, hilarious life stories, and supernatural demonstrations of the Holy Spirit.

As the host of the UnCommon Podcast, Cody has a burning commitment to the mission of resourcing disciples to make an UnCommon impact in their sphere of influence. UnCommon is now streaming across the United States and has listeners globally in more than 20 nations!

Cody compels the seasoned saint, unchurched, and the unreached, to desire more of Jesus and to fulfill His assignment for them in the Earth. He currently resides in Texas with his rambunctious Newfoundland Poodle Mix, Rio.

How We Ignite & Transform

Trips

Short-term mission trips are the fast pass to the nations! Whether it’s your first mission trip or you consider yourself a veteran in the mission field, 1M has a place for you on a short-term team. Our trips focus on evangelism, humanitarian aid, and indigenous leader development through various initiatives such as citywide outreaches, local leader conferences, construction projects, and more depending on the needs and nature of the trip. Our goal is to produce short-term trips that provide long-term results.

Training

Our mission is to share our passion for international ministry and biblical insights with all 1M trip participants. We offer training through Mandate University's Global Activation School (GAS) to empower and equip attendees for global ministry. The training received on the trip will have a lasting impact

Strategic Partnerships

We believe that we are stronger TOGETHER. 1M is continuously nurturing established relationships with international partners in ministry. our team has a pioneering spirit, but we partner with effective ministries local to each nation and region to provide sustainable support.

Transformational Ministry

We will always represent Jesus! Our most important assignment is to see transformational ministry take place for the people and places that need it most. Transformation is a two-way street, and we believe that as you give you will also receive.
