Sketching a Missional System

A missional system is what takes your vision for mission (reaching 1000s in the Northwest with the Gospel) and tells you the skeletal process of how it's going to work.

Here's my sketch of the missional system:

*It's important to begin living the system with your core group of people FIRST. This creates a culture within your body that becomes the norm. If your core people can't (or don't) live it first, there should be no reasonable expectation for those who convert the Jesus to live it next.

Here's how the system works:

1. Synchronize to mission - the emphasis here is connecting people who were previously unrelated to come together and begin walking in step with one another in order to fulfill the mission.

2. Solidify in mission - the emphasis here is developing, maturing, and strengthening the walk of the individual and the bonds between people to rally them in a commitment-oriented atmosphere to enjoy and participate in this community intent on fulfilling the mission.

3. Sustain the mission - the emphasis here is the participation and contributions of the people to keep the mission viable, durative, and effective.

4. Send to mission - the emphasis here is the releasing of people (per their distinct spiritual gifting and calling from God) to accomplish the mission by doing their part.

It's just a sketch, and comments, critique, or suggestions are more than welcome!
