Make Disciples
-Build inroads to people groups and places, locally and internationally (focusing on unreached and unengaged nations, lost, and universities).
-Prayer walking, spiritual mapping, and house/person of peace searches in ministry areas.
-Model intentional and frequent Gospel conversations.
-Connect new believers to existing churches or gather them into groups to start new churches.
-Train and lead teams to strategic international partnerships.
Mobilize the Church
Personal Training:
-Equip followers of Jesus to obey God's Word, abiding in Jesus and making disciples through the power of the Holy Spirit.
-Model how to start intentional conversations with others, ask questions/listen well, lead to spiritual things, steer to a Gospel conversation, share the full Gospel of Jesus, and ask for a response.
-Lead believers to visit mosques, Hindu Temples, Buddhist temples, and other places of worship to experience lostness in an immersive way.
Local Churches:
-Learn how to best serve the local church in missions mobilization.
-Lead staff and leadership through an 'Abiding and Making Disciples Health Assessment'
-Preach and teach at the Sunday church gatherings about being mobilized to grow in competence and confidence in having Gospel conversations with others.
- Help believers discover and strengthen their ministry calling and giftings (APEST).
-Consult on the missions mobilization strategy and structure within a local church or association.
1-Day Mission Trip/Training:
(Usually 6 hours on a Saturday from 9:30am-3:30pm):
Mission: Cast vision and equip believers in personal missions mobilization abiding in Jesus and making disciples (what, why, who, and how).
-Prayer
-Develop and practice sharing personal salvation testimony and clear, concise Gospel message.
-Train in initiating intentional conversation and navigating to spiritual and Gospel conversations.
-Visit inside a mosque, Hindu Temple, or Buddhist temple.
-Engage the community in Gospel conversations through the power of the Holy Spirit in groups of 2-3.
-Report back to the group to celebrate and pray.
-Cultivate a plan to establish mutual missional equipping, encouragement, and accountability in every church gathering, big or small (usually a 3/3rds format in a church small group).
Without intentional mutual equipping, encouragement, and accountability there will be no spiritual multiplication and abiding. With it, disciples will be made and become spiritual multipliers training others to have Gospel conversations, creating apprentice programs, and other mobilization opportunities.
2-5 Day Mission Trip/Training:
-This training follows a similar format to the 1-day. This time can include hearing from and serving local churches or mission organizations.
Missions Mobilization Pipeline:
Mission: Help local churches develop and implement an intentional missions mobilization focus.
This may include:
-Communicate a clear mission statement/vision. The focus of all church gatherings, events, and mission partnerships should be the Gospel of Jesus.
-Establish and celebrate strategic goals with members' abiding in Jesus and making disciples.
-Gather the church in smaller groups that focus on mutual equipping, encouragement, and accountability to abide in Jesus and make disciples. These life-on-life relationships are crucial. We recommend a 3/3rds format. Leaders are facilitators instead of preachers/teachers. Leaders focus on creating an interactive environment where they are engaging their group with good questions as they study through the Bible, letting the members learn directly from the Bible and Holy Spirit. The leaders teach others to obey Jesus not just in a classroom setting, but also modeling ministry and Gospel conversations for others.
Church staff and leadership lead the charge; they should be in these small groups for their personal benefit and also actively making disciples outside of church gatherings.
-Create a residency/apprenticeship program where members are further trained in following Jesus. Equip and send them as spiritual multipliers wherever God calls them, locally or globally, vocationally or personally.
-Establish churches where many are coming to faith in an area or where members are called to minister.
