Mobilizing Churches

How to Choose and Prepare for a Mission Project

Some helpful tips for getting started:

  • Be prepared to adjust your ministry activity to meet the needs of the church in the field. Ask the church planter what tools and expertise are needed to be effective in their setting.
  • Know what ministry capabilities your group has and how that matches the needs in the field.
  • Be prepared to arrange your own logistics. Church planters can provide suggestions for lodging, meals, and other area information.
  • Be prepared spiritually through prayer. Ask the church planter for specific prayer needs in their harvest field.
  • Be prepared to learn about other cultures and how to best minister in that environment.
  • Be prepared to interact with people in sharing the gospel.
  • Be prepared to work in diverse ministry settings and with various population segments.
