a)      The Holy Spirit (This is a movement of God and not an effort of man.)

b)      The Word and Prayer (Intentional Word and Sacrament [through which the H. S. works,] and Prayer solicitation [seeking God's leading] will be offered.)

c)      Offer Congregational Missional Opportunities for individuals and congregations.  (various levels of involvement)

1)      Local congregational involvement providing material items for missions.

2)      Local support (financial/hands on) in the community.

3)      Short term/short distance mission activity (there is no substitute for going and seeing.   Matthew 9:36)

5)      Long term mission/distance mission activity
