Before taking another step, discuss the purposes of your missions emphasis event and write a general statement of what you hope to accomplish. Do you wish to introduce new mission workers to the congregation? Develop a deeper commitment to reach people who do not know the Lord? Keep church members informed about missions work? Discover and nurture prospective missionaries? Encourage greater prayer support?
Goal-Setting
Decide on some specific goals, or statements of measurable outcomes, that will show if you have achieved your purposes. Examples: ten people committing themselves to working for a week in urban ministry; a group of members meeting to pray for the lost before each church service; to increase mission giving in your church by 10 percent.
