| | Christians are in a battle, and most of our experience bears this out. In the overall picture of the American Christian world, missionaries and church planters, among others, are viewed as warriors dropped behind enemy lines. In many ways they are.
Every army has what can be referred to as a Deployment Team. Often it goes by other names, but since battles and wars began, there have been those individuals who take the responsibility to take care of all the details needed for the boots on the ground of their warriors. History tells us that the soldiers of Alexander the Great had to carry all their own supplies on their backs or heads for rapid deployment. This was certainly one of the reasons for their victories, but history also tells us that essentially an entire city followed in their wake for replenishment and support. This was a part of their deployment team. We are told that in modern armed forces, the more that a unit is mechanized, the more people it takes to put a warrior on the front lines. A fighter pilot would be a good example of how much backing each warrior takes.
The term “Deployment Team” works as well to describe the people who are behind the scenes doing what it takes to get a missionary warrior with boots on the ground.
For this reason, we are choosing to call those of you who will participate with us in this fund, our Deployment Team. Let me describe:
When we have a missionary church planter ready, trained, assessed, cleared, approved and appointed, we need to put them on the field as quickly as possible. That is where you can help in a very tangible way. At that point, we will send you a profile of the pending church planter deployment, and ask you to send $100 within 30 days. Now your $100 by itself may not go that far, but alongside of 500 other people also giving $100 in the same month for the same deployment… well, you can see how it works. The combined $50,000 goes a very long way in birthing a body of believers as a new church plant.
In this matter of deployment, it will be our responsibility and commitment to call on you no more than twice a year, and only if everything is ready for the deployment of a church planting couple into a strategic place. Your responsibility, on the other hand, will be to trust God for your committed $100 portion within those thirty days. We must insist, however, that Deployment Team contributions are not given from that which is committed to your local church. We will defeat the purpose if your church gets robbed in the process. A further responsibility for you as a member of the Deployment Team will be to take your deployment profile and begin to pray for your warrior family and the church plant you are now a participant with.
Please contact us through the Contact Us page here on this site. Your contribution to the deployment, along with everyone else’s, will be managed and distributed by Missions Door as agreed upon and appropriate. Click here to learn about the missions agency known as Missions Door.
