ROAD TO THE FIELD: SERVANTS

 

Step One: “THE JOURNEY”

Step Three: CANDIDATE
A positive review of your application, references, and conversations with you and your ending church.
 
 
     

Step Four: CANDIDATE SCHOOL

These two weeks of training will include:

  • Core issues of Church Planting among Muslims.
  • Biblical perspective on team and interpersonal relationships.
  • Character development and assessment.
  • Corporate orientation and training.
  • Support-raising development.

Step Five: APPOINTEE

You become an appointee when:

  • Successful completion of Candidate School .
  • A Frontiers team leader has accepted you on his team.
  • Your sending church provides their endorsement.
  • You agree with your team's policies and practices.

Step Six: TEAM MEMBER
Your first task as a team member is to raise your financial support and prayer team.  Then, you join your team on the field and those first few years are spent in full-time relationship building, language learning and cultural adaptation.

On the Field:
Frontiers is field-led by its Team Leaders, allowing the teams to be semi-autonomous. As a result, Frontiers provides a unique structure for team accountability. For more information, please contact us.

Road to the Field: Sending Church

Frontiers partners with sending churches to plant churches among unreached Muslim peoples. During the applicant's preparation process, we desire that the applicant's church be involved as much as possible.

What We Are Looking For:
We believe that young and relatively inexperienced Christians can succeed in church planting if they are eager for coaching and upgrading along the way.  As the Personnel Coordinator assists each applicant through this process, Frontiers will be looking for:


  • A commitment to glorify God among Muslim peoples.
  • A clear Christian testimony tested over time.
  • A consistent practice of the Christian disciplines.
  • Resilience, adaptability and perseverance.
  • A passion for God and his glory in the church.
  • A hunger to grow and learn.
  • Restlessness with the status quo in the task of serving Muslims.
  • A solid link with a sending church.
  • Fruitful evangelism and disciple-making experience.
