Mission History

All for One Missions (AFOM), founded in 2018 by Tim and Christina Mathews, is a nonprofit 501 c3 organization dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus and supporting our community of Abilene. AFOM is based in the Alameda area, where it first established its roots. The Alameda neighborhood, known as the 4-way, faces significant socioeconomic challenges.

The Mathews’ journey began in 2012 when a mission trip overseas deeply impacted them. Witnessing individuals accept Christ while also receiving basic humanitarian aid inspired them to continue serving others. Guided by Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make Disciples of all Nations”, they felt called to bring that same mission of faith and service back to Abilene. After prayerful consideration, AFOM organized a revival in the Alameda neighborhood, leading several community members to embrace Christianity. As they connected with families, they saw the overwhelming need for both spiritual and practical support. In response, AFOM expanded its efforts to provide essential resources, including food, clothing, toiletries, transportation, and youth services.

Grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ, AFOM has become a cornerstone of the community, offering encouragement, stability, and strong relationships to families in need. AFOM plays a vital role in supporting the city’s growing Latino immigrant population, offering bilingual services and tailored programs to help them navigate challenges.

Additionally, AFOM serves at-risk youth, many of whom face instability within the CPS system or frequent relocations. To ensure these youth have a safe haven and access to mentorship, AFOM provides transportation to church, youth programs, and community events, helping them build a foundation of faith and support. As AFOM has grown, so has its reach. While the organization remains rooted in the Alameda area, it now serves the broader Abilene community. AFOM continues to provide rides and support for youth and adults who move beyond the neighborhood, ensuring they stay connected to essential services, mentorship, and a supportive faith community.

Your support enables AFOM to sustain its mission of hope and compassion, positively impacting countless lives in Abilene. We are truly a local mission, serving a low socioeconomic community where many rely on AFOM for much-needed additional support. However, because of the area’s financial hardships, AFOM faces challenges in achieving self-sustainability. That is why we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of donors like you. AFOM can only continue its mission through the support of individuals who believe in its purpose, ensuring that we can keep providing essential resources and sharing the love of God with those in need.
