2010 Goals for the Youngs

TRAINING PROJECT - 25% Train 5-8 20-somethings in basic church planting principles using a postmodern training style (Training, Ch Planting, Mobilizing) Written materials reviewed and prospective church planters meet with Mike.     April 30, 2010 Project completion     July 31, 2010

CONTACT LIST - 20% Build a list of 25-30 non-Christian 20-somethings with whom I am actively engaging with the gospel and then discipling.  Maintain a log tracking the progress you are making with each of these contacts. (Disc/Evan)      June 30, 2010

WEEKLY GROUPS - 15%  Develop 8-10 groups consisting of at least 75% non-Christians which meet regularly for Bible study, prayer, and/or discipleship on 2-3 different campuses and one in our home.  Students will lead these groups.  Participants in these groups will be new contacts for El Buen Árbol or beginning a new church.     December 31, 2010

ENGAGING URBAN TRIBES - 10% Design and develop methods to evangelize, disciple, and plant churches targeting the critical networks of urban tribes such as the “emo” population, musicians, street performers, and others. We will be praying for and working toward Persons of Peace in order to move into these critical networks.  We will use individual conversations, survey work to find out what the needs of this group are, then bible studies, prayer, and eventually training of others to reach them.     April 30, 2010

NEW STREAMS - 10% Identify and engage 3-4 new "streams," or "critical networks," of 20-somethings; i.e. nursing students, sports students, etc. with the ultimate goal of beginning new churches within these critical networks.  These may overlap with "Weekly Groups."  (Disc/Evan, Ch Planting)     May 31, 2010
