That answer can vary drastically based on one’s setting. But in general, best practices and strategies have certain principles in common:

• They result in planting multiplying churches.
• They involve wide sowing of the gospel.
• They disciple people in ways based in grace, in the context of organic community, and result in disciples who disciple others.
• They are done in as wide and appropriate partnership with others as possible.
• They meet practical social and physical needs, but not in ways that create dependence on western money, missionaries or churches.
• They develop healthy, authentically indigenous churches that present the gospel in Biblical, winsome, culturally authentic ways.
• They allow nationals to assume leadership as early as is appropriate and possible.
• They are easily reproducible.
