Evangelization Priorities for the Coming Decade PDF Print E-mail

STRATEGY WORKING GROUP

  1. To work toward the planting of churches within every remaining people group as we seek to evangelize and make disciples.
  2. To accelerate the multiplication of church planting movements in the 10/40 Window and other needy areas in order to give closer geographical opportunity for discipleship, worship, and continuing evangelism.
  3. To continue to mobilize significant, strategic focused prayer for the unfinished task and to raise up workers for the harvest.
  4. To work together more intentionally and inclusively, through alliances, networks, and partnerships – sharing contacts, information, and resources.  To demonstrate unity with one another as evidence of the deity of Christ and His love for the world.
  5. To empower and provide training in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting for younger leaders as well as laymen and women.
  6. To encourage extensive and innovative initiatives to reach and disciple children and young people in each new generation.
  7. To allocate a much larger portion of our resources toward the least-reached areas of the world.
  8. To seek to use media and technology, and other creative means, more effectively to spread the Gospel among the masses.
  9. To stay personally involved in grass-roots evangelism so that our presentations of the Biblical Gospel are relevant, contextualized and meaningful.
  10. To live out the Gospel as we seek to meet the physical and social needs of those to whom we minister with practical expressions of love and compassion.
  11. To assist in the work of Scripture translation and distribution, recognizing its necessity as a foundation for all evangelism and church growth.
  12. To ensure that all of our strategic plans for evangelism are biblically based and guided by the fourfold scope of Acts 1:8 – Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth.
  13. To ensure a greater emphasis toward the oral learners of the world.
  14. To find out why there is so little change in redirecting the efforts of the church towards the least reached.
