Most mission emphasis events get started with the local church council. To get the event off the ground, it is imperative to enlist plenty of prayer support and the skills of a good planning team.
The team could include:
- Individuals from the mission/evangelism committee
- A group of mission-minded church members
- A church-school teacher or parent who can identify children's needs and interests
- Individuals who are detail-oriented or have strong organization skills
- A member of the worship committee
Dates and Preparation Time
As a committee, choose a preferred and alternative date for the event. Be open and flexible. The date may change depending on the availability of speakers, facilities, etc.
Remember that a mission emphasis event takes time! Give yourself and your church council, committees, and groups enough time to prepare. This could be a couple of months for a missionary visit or six to 12 months for a missions emphasis week.
