It’s wise to determine what results you’re seeking to accomplish, by God’s grace, and to periodically gauge if your methods are succeeding.
Potential gauges might include :
- People entering short- and long- term missions service
- Your church leaders owning and stepping up to make missions a conscious part of their and the church's ministry
- People who are engaging in local cross-cultural ministry
- People who are identifying and engaging in their optimal Great Commission role (goer, sender, welcomer, mobilizer)
- People who are re-ordering life decisions and priorities in order to be maximally involved in missions
- Larger opportunities and funding for all kinds of missions ministries, projects, people
- Increased personal or church giving to outreach efforts
- People who are interested in learning more about missions and are engaging in learning activities (cf. Perspectives)
- People coming to faith in Christ due to the efforts of those who were mobilized
