We fully trust God for that which He has instilled within us and that he will accomplish this work of FAITH to His Glory and Honour. We remain constantly before the throne of Grace and Mercy, but boldly interceding for those who hunger for salvation and restoration. Our confidence is in the Creator of Life, His Son the Messiah and the Holy Spirit of God placed upon this earth.

God is the author of and finisher of our FAITH and we wish only to walk in His PLAN. Some plant, others water, but God provides the increase!


OPERATIONAL PLAN:

The Operational plan below is based on the foundation that all the material to be used for this process has been prepared and is ready for the implementation process.

 

Setting up “Gospel into Africa” in Mozambique

Relocate to Maforga Mission at Gondola, in the Manica Province of Mozambique.

 

PHASE 1 – Implementation Strategy

 

Each of the steps below, as well as the following Phases, are carefully prayed over and carried out under the guidance of the Holy Spirit:

 

·      Identify the area / locality occupied by each of the people groups within the northern region of Mozambique.

·      Strategically plan for the location of the different “Hubs” that need to be established in relation to each People Group. This “Hub” should necessarily be located in, or close to, the nearest economic centre for each specific group (see Page 6 above for the People Groups).

There should eventually be around 15 – 20 “Hubs” spread across that region.LEGEND - CHURCH PLANTING: (Example)

  

PHASE 2 – Implement a Prayer Network

 

Given the groupings of the various language groups in northern Mozambique, the process below will be replicated at each locality in order to saturate and prepare each area with prayer. The objective would be to saturate each target area with abundant prayer before, and during exponential church planting. Each of the 5 characteristics mentioned in Sect 8 (A) above should be included.

 

The Strategy and Preparation for each People Group

This would include:

·      A strategy for the region and sub-regions. This would include the method, coordination and supervision of the program.

·      Establish a practical preparation program to guide the co-ordinators and prayer teams.

·      Recruit prayer warriors according to the requirements for each region.

·      Coordinate, implement and monitor the prayer program.

The Battle Plan

A complete Prayer ‘Battle’ Plan needs to be developed so that each of the People Groups may be effectively prayed over.

·      Assign an overall Strategy Prayer Coordinator for the specific People Group and identify the towns and rural communities within that group. Establish geographic areas to be prayed over by each set of prayer coordinators and teams.

·      Identify ‘Block’ coordinators and prayer teams for each geographic area within that People Group. These people need to be Christians who have a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

·      Establish relationships with town and community leaders and obtain approval for the prayer movement.

·      Train/prepare co-ordinators and prayer teams for the task ahead. These individuals need to understand the working of the Holy Spirit, but also how to operate with integrity, precision and discipline.

·      Deploy ‘Block’ coordinators and prayer teams within each region. These coordinators will discover the following 4 key elements within each region:

o   the People Group composition (i.e. what is the composition of that region)

o   the Spiritual Strongholds (the Strategy Coordinator will identify every religious site by name for daily prayer)

o   the Social Barriers (what are the social problems: alcoholism, gambling, prostitution, etc. that plague the region)

o   the Economics (how do these citizens make their livelihood, the extent of employment, etc)

After discovering the nature of each of these four aspects applying to the specific region, the Block Coordinators and teams pray for each of these areas every day.

·      Establish a prayer network consisting of ‘prayer groups’ (e.g. home / church based) to support the ‘on-site’ prayer coordinators and teams.

·      Teams report back to the Strategy Coordinator and where methods have to be changed or rectified, this is done fast and effectively.

The Starting Point

·      Each geographic region (within the People Group) is assigned two ‘Block’ coordinators. Where necessary prayer teams (two each) can supplement these coordinators.

·      Moving from town to town or community to community, the Block Coordinators (and prayer teams) spend 40 minutes to an hour in prayer three times a day for that specific town or community.

·      In between the prayer sessions, they do prayerwalking through the streets of the town or in the communities i.e. in the morning and in the afternoon. As the prayer walking Block Coordinators and teams move through the designated area they follow the pattern stimulated by the five categories of their research. They circle strongholds and confront social barriers.

·      Whenever an individual asks about them, they respond: “We are men of God who have come to your town or community to pray God’s blessings on your region. May we pray for you?”

·      If they receive a positive response they shift to a five-fold scheme of prayer. They pray for:

o    Any physical ailments that the person reveals.

o    The kind of work the person does and their workplace.

o    The emotional health and well-being of the person and his family.

o    The social relations of the person including their extended family.

o    The spiritual condition of the person.

They extend every prayer in Jesus name together with an implicit witness. Quite often the person leaves with no immediate response to the prayer, but later returns with an affirmation of answered prayer and the power of Jesus’ name.

·      The person requesting prayer may ask for additional prayer or request prayer for a family member, friend or neighbour. This prompts the Block Coordinators to request permission to lead a weekly prayer meeting in the person’s home (“House of Prayer”). These weekly prayer meetings have been called “Houses of Prayer”

·      Every Friday is spent in fasting and prayer for that town or community.

·      In areas where the Gospel has never been preached, or in areas where traditional religions have reigned for a significant amount of time, it is not unusual to find those engaging in Church Planting activities confronted by Spiritual Conflicts that range from annoying to life-threatening.


PHASE 3 – Establish the first Hub

 

We believe that it would be advisable to start the first “Hub” among the Lomwe people at of the town Gurué in the Zambezia Province because of our familiarity with the local environment and people. The process of establishing a church planting process in that region would therefore be much quicker.

·      Prayerfully identify the man / men of peace and set up the prayer network.

·      This Man of peace starts to identify and pray for the first generation men of peace (between 5 and 10 Leaders) to start the church planting process within that People Group.

·      His covenant  with each of these Leaders is for them to commit to a process of deliberate discipling and church planting i.e. each Leader individually agrees to disciple a following generation of Leaders (between 2 and 10 Leaders with the same covenant agreement in place between them).

·      Once in place facilitate a training period for this Leader steering group to be coached in the requirements and the process of discipling using the ‘Discovery Bible Study’ discipleship process (See Pages 7 & 8).

·      These Leaders will become the steering group (“Hub”) responsible for church planting in this people group.

·      Initiate and coach the ‘Discovery Bible Study’ discipleship process within the steering group as well as their respective sub-groups until all the Leaders are comfortable with the process.

·      Follow up and guide process of multiplication.

 

This initial period will also be a time of learning so that the next area would be more fluent. The learning process will however be continuous and self-rectification the name of the game.

 

PHASE 4 – Reconnaissance and Establish subsequent Hub(s)

 

The availability of resources will dictate whether this Phase 3 will either commence simultaneously with Phase 2, or once that the latter has become established and progressing well.

 

·      Visit each of the People Group locations and identify the most relevant economic centre applicable to that people group. The start up “Hub” will be placed in that location.

·      Once a particular “Hub” has been identified, prayerfully identify the man / men of peace and set up the prayer network.

·      Prayerfully identify the man / men of peace and set up the prayer network.

·      This Man of peace starts to identify and pray for the first generation men of peace (between 5 and 10 Leaders) to start the church planting process within that People Group.

·      His covenant  with each of these Leaders is for them to commit to a process of deliberate discipling and church planting i.e. each Leader individually agrees to disciple a following generation of Leaders (between 2 and 10 Leaders with the same covenant agreement in place between them).

·      Once in place facilitate a training period for this Leader steering group to be coached in the requirements and the process of discipling using the ‘Discovery Bible Study’ discipleship process (See Pages 7 & 8)..

·      These Leaders will become the steering group (“Hub”) responsible for church planting in this people group.

·      Initiate and coach the ‘Discovery Bible Study’ discipleship process within the steering group as well as their respective sub-groups until all the Leaders are comfortable with the process.

·      Follow up and guide process of multiplication.

·      Replicate this process in each specific people group.

 

PHASE 5 – Planting Disciple Groups / Churches

 

·      Once Leaders are established and progressing with training/discipling the next generation leaders, guide them to start with disciple groups/churches by drawing in immediate family and friends.

·      Once disciple groups/churches are formed, the Leader continues with the “Discovery Bible Study”.

 

 

PHASE 6 – Leader Development (Steering Group)

 

·      Regularly visit the Leadership (steering groups) of each people group:

o  Assist with guidance

o  Identify problem areas and seek solutions

o  Where necessary change direction

·      When the steering committee is competent with the growth and development of this church planting process, they will take over the entire process with in their people group, and elsewhere.

 

 

PHASE 7 – Leader Development (Disciple Groups/Churches)

 

·      When Leaders have individually established the next generation leaders and are functioning within their respective disciple groups/churches, arrange for follow up training with them to ensure further growth and development (i.e. together with Steering Group)

o  Assist with guidance

o  Identify problem areas and seek solutions

o  Where necessary change direction.

 

 

Alongside all of these activities is the supply of at least a bible for each of the Disciple Group / Church. This would either be in written or in electronic format.
