Five “Coordinates” for the Mission Map
These are not optional strategies—they are essential coordinates for a multiplying, global, Spirit-led movement.
Disciple-Making: The New Compass
To accomplish the Great Commission, we must train every believer to make disciples who make disciples.
We must provide clear, simple, and complete multiplication tools—like Evangelism Explosion—that anyone can use.
Every Believer a Missionary: The New Traveler
Ordinary believers must live missionally in their everyday environments—at work, at home, and in their communities.
Every believer must be an active witness.
Unreached Peoples: The Uncharted Lands
Unreached people are everywhere—both across the globe and across the street.
We must:
- Train believers to see the mission fields in their circles of influence
- Adopt unreached people groups for prayer, giving, and going
- Intentionally reach the lost around us
Prayer, Fasting, and the Holy Spirit: The Spiritual GPS
We must be continually filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18), daily surrendering to His direction.
We must saturate everything in prayer and fasting—launching sustained rhythms that keep us aligned with God’s heart.
Simple Church Groups: The Portable Basecamp
Every believer should be part of, or start, life groups, house churches, or micro-gatherings that:
- Multiply easily
- Encourage outreach
- Create accountability for fulfilling the Great Commission
The “New” Old Map
You’ve been given a map—but it’s not just for admiring.
It’s for following.
So I ask:
- What route will you take?
- What territory will you claim for the Kingdom?
- Will you be a map-maker, trailblazer, and disciple multiplier?
If we do, we can change the world.
If we return to the “every believer a witness” model, we could see what the early Church saw:
An 11.58% growth rate per year—enough to complete the Great Commission by 2044.
