How We Do It

Our Church Planting Approach.

Our approach to missions is rooted in regional strategies that cultivate sustainable, long-term Gospel impact. We build healthy relationships through eight overlapping phases of pioneer church planting.

The Regional Approach

Three connected communities support the long-term work of planting healthy, locally led churches that have a lasting gospel impact.

We build meaningful relationships, empower local leaders, and establish a vibrant gospel presence in hard-to-reach places.

Our regional strategy ensures the Gospel takes root and thrives. We honor culture while bringing transformational Gospel change. The key elements of our regional approach are:

The Eight Phases

Phase 1: Arrival

Showing people you are here and you care by coming alongside them to live in their world and to serve them as you do.

Phase 2: Trust

Building trust between you and the people through your actions and conversations.

Phase 3: Spiritual Conversations

Taking the time to understand how people process God, religion, and spiritual things.

Phase 4: Gospel Conversations

As the Lord opens doors, sharing the whole gospel, taking the time to show how Jesus deals with our shame and guilt and has overcome the evil that is in the world.

Phase 5: Nurture

It is important to nurture new believers in what it means to live as a follower of Jesus.

Phase 6: Help

For many, being a Christian can cause people to be at odds with their family, extended family, cultures, and even cause them to be killed. It is the role of the missionary to help people understand how to navigate the complexities of following Jesus.

Phase 7: Discover

Throughout the discipleship process, it is important to help people understand their gifts and role in the body of Christ. One of the great joys of ministry is helping people find their place in the kingdom.

Phase 8: Affirm

Once a disciple has discovered their gifts it is important that the missionary publicly affirm that gift in front of all.

Trust forms in relationships.

When we cross a culture to reach a new people group, we take the time to build healthy relationships. This happens in eight overlapping phases:
