Igniting nations | Transforming Cities

Team Houston,

I want to take a moment to thank you for saying “yes” to serve during the launch of Summer of Impact. You’re not just filling roles—you’re carrying the heart and vision of One Mandate right here in Houston.

From August 28–29, your mission is clear: Build Faith in our missionaries, Build Excitement for the journey ahead, and Minister Peace to every person stepping into this God-ordained assignment. You’re the first touchpoint for many of them, and the atmosphere you create will set the tone for the entire trip.

Your smiles, your encouragement, your prayers—they matter more than you realize. You’re helping prepare an army of missionaries to go into the nations with boldness and joy. Thank you for being faithful, excellent, and ready to serve with all your heart.

Let’s make these launch days unforgettable—for God’s glory and the sake of the harvest.

With gratitude and expectation,

Cody Graves

Founder, One Mandate
