Conducting a Missional Event
This document provides an overview of the missional event.

Purpose
The purpose of the Missional Event is to provide focus and momentum. The event focuses the purpose of the activities of MC2. The prayer-care-share activities and the identification of persons of peace point toward this home event of a missional outreach. The Missional Event is the culmination of work in a target area and provides momentum in the launching of groups.

Outcome
The desired outcome is for you to sponsor a Missional Event. If possible, the event can be hosted in the home of a person of peace from your relational network or community. Event attendees can be invited from both your network and the host’s network. Invitees can be people who you have met through prayer-care-share activities

The desired outcome for the event is new followers of Jesus who will join a Foundational Bible Study which will begin the week following the Missional Event. This will launch your group, or even a second group for the participant if you already has formed an initial group.

Process
The Missional Event is about 1 to 1½ hours long. Because it is held in a home, 10-15 people are a reasonable number of guests.
