Implement key activities with your church or home group, for mission outreach:

• Pray for, and develop awareness of, the neglected people and their plight (apart from being eternally lost, most of them are desperately poor, with a high mortality rate and no hope).
• Select (adopt) an neglected people group.
• Pray for, and discern, the workers who will go. Discern those who have missionary (apostolic or 'sent one') gifting. Network with other churches to form a team with good spiritual gift balance.
• Form a mission action team. Unlike traditional missions committees that often involve only a few "mission minded" people to do all the work, this team includes--or works closely with--people from every branch, category or group within the church. This assures more involvement by the whole church body: participation in these key activities by adults, children, young people, worship team, teachers and all ministry leaders.
• Include people from other nations on the team, if practical, who are culturally close, especially for the initial evangelism. Cooperate with mission agencies, to do this.
• Enlist businessmen or other bi-vocational workers for the team if working in a field where regular missionaries are outlawed.

Arrange for workers to get proper training for, and carry out:

• incarnational evangelism,
• small group worship,
• culture adaptation (use of typical music and other culturally relevant creative art forms),
• (for fields of restricted access) the skill of discipling leaders behind the scenes,
• church multiplication (forming clusters of house churches in restricted areas),
• integration of community development (mercy) ministries with church planting , where poverty or other acute human suffering requires a holistic approach,
• any other ministries needed for starting, developing churches in their field.

Send the workers as the Antioch church did, in Acts 13:1-3:

• Cooperate with a mission agency that shares the same vision and, if working in a restricted area, knows how to deploy real bivocational workers.
• Commission the workers, send them and hold them accountable to their God-given objectives.
• Communicate with the workers regularly (use safe addresses for those in hostile fields),
• When home on furlough, make things easy for the workers, who require rest, assurance and help with a host of little, time-consuming chores related to family and field needs.

Find in Matthew 28:18-20 the basic mandate for all these activities, and exactly how to initiate all discipling (the foundational curriculum according to our Lord Jesus Christ).
