On February 12, 2002, While You Are Single started out as a message. It was the title of O. J. Toks’ sermon while speaking in a True Love Waits event held by a Christian Student Organization called VISION, in his alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University. On November 17, 2003, the message evolved into a manuscript. O. J. Toks’ first book. Since then the book has been revised, updated and is still available. On February 15, 2014, twelve years after its inception, it became a ministry. Currently an online ministry for single adults. The mission of While You Are Single (WYAS) is to prepare singles for wholesome relationships.

Through a series of videos, which can be watched on the While You Are Single website or on YouTube, single adults receive biblical teachings relevant to them. Through these videos, O. J. Toks’ book and blog, single adults who desire marriage, receive ministry that will impact, inform and inspire them toward God’s best path for their lives.
