Communities identify needs, and we prioritize food security, growing commerce, and education—all embedded with spiritual values.
The One Spirit Engineering team leverages engineering and guidance from the Holy Spirit to generate potential solutions to real world problems, prototyping and iterating until a product is developed that proves to be viable, feasible, desirable, and beneficial for the community.
OSE partners with local missionaries, pastors, and teachers to implement the technological solutions.
A business model is developed with local entrepreneurs to scale the product, allowing new jobs to be created and profits to funnel into the community.
How can we support 18-year-old girls who have just aged out of the Child Welfare System in Guatemala to find employment? We teach them how to make bars of beauty soap. OSE is collaborating with Hands of Compassion in Santiago, Guatemala, providing training for teenage girls offering a pathway to job security through small business ownership. Specifically, St. Gerard Majella Parish in St. Louis, Missouri is building a Micro Business soap factory that when finished will shipped to Guatemala and set up for young women at Hands of Compassion Children’s Home teaching girls how to make, package, and market, bars of beauty soap. This all-natural organic soap will be distributed to local hotels, airbnbs, tourist shops and other beauty outlets.

St. Gerard Majella Parish in St. Louis, Missouri is building a Micro-Business for teenage girls living at Hands of Compassion Children’s Home in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. The Micro-Business will teach older teenage girls how to learn, operate, and eventually own a beauty soap making operation.
We're engineering an automated system to grow fruits and vegetables, reducing labor, time, and space. This user-friendly system is designed to be so simple that even children can contribute to bringing prosperity to their families.
Imagine providing a community with limited access to food and soil a technology to cultivate and grow their own organic food at home, eliminating the need for pesticides and herbicides. Picture growing nutrient-rich food, planting a seed, and harvesting fruits without touching the plant. Envision teaching older children to operate and set up this system, creating an abundance of produce to sustain their families and sell to others.

What if we could design a method to teach children how technology works? Imagine teaching children how to set up a small business, how to treat a wound until it heals, and how to grow plants to produce food. Envision instructing children to produce cooking gas for a small stove. Picture teaching older children how to build and sell the Video Teaching Device—all without language and the need for concept translation. This is what VTD does for the children of Guatemala.
Funding Required
We're creating a collaborative electronic device to teach children how things work through videos and kits. The initial series guides teenagers in assembling and selling the device. Our goal is to build a comprehensive video library covering unlimited subjects for hands-on experimentation and implementation.
