At the conclusion of the Probe day schedule, the final hour is reserved for a detailed report by the probe teams. Highlights will be presented to the entire group and a full written report will be placed in the hands of associational and state convention leaders. At this meeting, initial long range strategy should be developed. Priority status is assigned to each potential new church. A potential launch month and year are assigned.
Preliminary strategy is initiated.
If the association lacks a Missions Development Council, associational leaders should select persons with a vital interest in missions to serve in the capacity of Associational New Church Development Specialist and Church Starting Task Force. These individuals will have full responsibility for leading the association in developing and implementing the strategy for new churches. WHY these new churches are needed. WHEN the new church should be launched. HOW the resources will be developed, the part the local churches, the association and the state convention will have in this new work.
