Unit 4: Mission Catalyst Leading Others
We chose the term “catalyst” for this program specifically because of this unit. The previous units focused on developing the participant as an evangelist. This unit provides tools that help the participants engage the members of their congregations in mission outreach. The first lesson equips the participants to ensure that their congregation is accessible and inviting to first time guests. The second unit covers the topic on community connections. Congregations are finding that they increase mission opportunities when they develop healthy collaborative relationships with organizations and event planners in their community.
